I happen to have loved the 1980's.
The cartoons, movies, the music.
Prince and Michael Jackson with the music, the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, and then there was of course, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Those of us lucky enough to spend our childhood in the administration of Reagan, were blessed with this cartoon.
I picked this gem up on DVD a month ago and I love it. I watch it with the intensity that I did as a kid.
I wanted to show my children what real cartoons were all about. Now my children love He-Man, to the point where I had to make my 3 year old a power sword out of wood and I spray-painted it silver. Now he runs around the house, with it in the back of his shirt screaming, 'by the power of gray skull!' In fact, I'm going to also pick up the whole season 1 when it comes out later this week.
Just watching these things takes me back to 1983. The only thing that ever bothered me was that the Eternians were idiots. How could you not know that Prince Adam and He-Man were one and the same.
1. They look exactly alike
2. One is never around when the other one is
3. As soon as one disappears the other shows back up.
Pick it up and you'll learn what real cartoons were all about!!
