Sent on a quest: briefly; Prince Adam/other characters [voiced by: John Erwin] and Cringer/other characters [voiced by: Alan Oppenheimer:] get sent on this quest to this world known as Etheria, to find this righteous protector and deliver to them; this Sword of Protection [which is very similar to Prince Adam/He-Man's Power Sword or to keep both sets of fans happy and Sword of Grayskull,] but for physically one difference it has a jewel just above the crossbar; this Sword will take our two adventurers to this individual in question. But as always if they get into any trouble they can always call upon He-Man and Battle Cat, which is a good thing because they will come face-to-face with Force Captain Adora/other names/other characters [voiced by: Melendy Britt:] she is Force Captain of The Horde and they answer to Hordak/other character [voiced by: George DiCenzo:] he is their leader and he is a cyborg with the ability to shape shift/transform into different things such as a rocket.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, character developments, framework and pacing and other aspects of this 87 minutes film; it is throughout well explored and explained; there was no waste of time in this movie every moment mean something little or a large it doesn't matter things just keep on rolling on.

Art, action, comedy character developments and voice performances; now of course as this project is based on 1980's cartoons standard the visual representation is faultless as every location has been given its sense of importance; such as obviously Castle Grayskull looks majestic or later on Snake Mountain looks it is horrifying best or/and from time to time throughout our adventure He-Man being captured and chained or something else; basically what I am trying to put over is; every location looks busy with a highly detailed bits and pieces or things going on and yes likewise the action sequences are phenomenally entertaining and exciting and yes for those people that haven't seen this movie and are from my generation slightly younger or older; we do have He-Man's infamous punch routine: where for those people they don't know; it looks like he is punching through the TV screen, but he is punching something in the scene; it really does give a all-round immersive experience, as it relates to the action everyone looks fantastic as everyone involved in gets a little something in so towards the later stages of the project, we have this massive conflict sequence; it goes out all guns blazing and for the comedy we have this comical moment where broadly speaking this familiar character can't believe that there is now female He-Man and it is the worst day of his life [for those really sensitive people out there; in no way shape or form is this deemed as any form of sexism, on the contrary; it just highlights equality as in there are now two of them and regardless of gender, you thought one was bad, there is now two of them] I am just on reflection realise why this character saying this in his own way, he puts over and gives her the rub to stand on her own 2 feet.

As throughout this content the character developments as it relates to the storyline/script or the comedy or character developments are all encompassing to create really a layered characters with fantastic back stories and it goes without saying but I still need to say it; these voice performances are of things of legacy performances, they are all of once-in-a-lifetime never to be repeated again, I am not disrespecting anyone that has ever worked on another connecting interpretation universe of characters, I was simply saying for here and now in the 1980's this array of talent is perfection and shouldn't be tempted to be repeated, but just enjoy it for what they should be and that is the standard bearers of these characters and their versions of these characters.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it really does cover everything that you want or/and expect from this integral film it will between He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and/or She-Ra: Princess of Power and their two worlds and everything else in the middle. They really don't make projects like this anymore and I feel sorry for the future generations, not to learn that in one way or another we can balance each other out, so obviously I am going to say that everyone needs to see this film once at minimum in your lifetime for sure.
