He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special

It was such a holiday treat to find this beloved holiday special on DVD. It takes me back to those carefree Christmases when I was a kid. The crossover of He-Man and She-Ra is delightful as ever. The great background score and Skeletor and Hordack locking horns over who will succeed and win the glory from Hoard Prime. And Skeletor steals the show by the end of this heartwarming special. But in case you haven't seen for a while or ever seen it. I won't spoil anything major. I recommend this timeless classic!

Brings back a sense of wonder and joy to you as an adult as it did when you watched if you are a child of the 80's. To me it is the best animated cartoon that has a Christmas theme/and or story to it. Wholesome and gives back a sense of wonder.

My, niece loves it.

Now THIS is how you make a DVD of a fan-favorite show! In addition to the rarely-seen special itself (more on that in a minute), you get a wealth of great extra material. I, for one, enjoy learning all the behind-the-scenes info about shows, especially animated ones. There's over an hour of documentary material here, focusing on the holiday special itself, and the universe of He-Man in general. There's a pair of great-looking art cards (apparently there are 16 available in all; I got a terric watercolor painting of She-Ra, and one featuring characters from both series), the rarely-seen music video "I Have the Power," plus a brief making-of segment on the video, a well-designed "character profiles" feature, trivia, and the complete script. The packaging itself is full of colorful artwork, an added bonus for fans.As for the show itself, it holds up fairly well (SPOILERS AHEAD). Unlike many cartoon holiday episodes, however, Christmas is really only a small part of the story. Orko's bumbling accidentally brings two Earth children to Eternia, where they share the news of Christmas with the denizens of She-Ra's world (and since this IS a kids' fantasy show, the legend of Santa take precedence over the Christian holiday, which gets only a throwaway line about Bethlehem). It's all innocent fun, although He-Man fans may cringe at how easily Skeletor is swayed by the Christmas spirit.If you're a fan of He-Man and/or She-Ra, there's no question you should have this in your collection. And if you just like animated holiday fun, give it a try. As a fan of both shows, I couldn't be happier with this first-class package.

Good

I have to admit it, I was so excited to see that the Christmas special came out on DVD! She-Ra was my all time favorite cartoon of the 80's and I will never forget it. I loved the characters, the stories, the morals, etc., and such a cartoon portrayed a lot of characters that seemed realistic with every day issues. I remember, everyday after school, I used to leave in such a hurry because I did not want to miss She-Ra (sometimes I used to leave my little sister behind because she would not hurry up).I still have recorded on VHS about 1 entire episode of She-Ra and part of another one. She-Ra was a very cool hero for us girls and as for the guys it was He-man, which I think was so nice, since several episodes were cross overs. Everytime I think of She-Ra it brings back a lot of my elementary school memories of my friends and teachers. My biggest disappointment was when from one day to another She-Ra was off the air.When (hopefully) the entire series of She-Ra "Princess of Power" comes out on DVD, I will absolutely buy it.

Right after receiving this order, I watched it at least three times, and said in my mind, I can celebrate the Holiday season with the two warrior icons I grew up with. It's a stunning story line when Prince Adam and his sister Adora's birthdays are coming up, and then Mischief comes about when Orco jumps in the Sky spy and accidently crashes on our planet, then befriends two young children and learns the meaning of what Christmas is. When She-Ra returns from her planet with the water crystle Man-at-Arms transporter beam delivers the sky spy back to Eternia, and all the other people in the palace learn of the Holiday traditions. Towards the middle and ending of the film, it's funny when Skeletor get's this good feeling and lends a hand to Miguel and Alicia while traveling the snowy mountains on Etheria. Even though he was assigned to deliver the two earth children to Horde Prime,everyone gets to see how the spirit of Christmas even lights the hearts of some tyrannical beings, not all evil beings. I liked how the film ended when the two children return home to earth. As long as I'm drawing breath, I will still celebrate the Christmas season with this DVD. A must have for He-Man and She-Ra fans.

I didn't remember seeing this movie as a kid but, I'm sure I would of loved it then as I do now.I like how this story really gives an all star cast to play in this collection of the He-Man and She-Ra series.Although, the title of the movie is ©He-Man & She-Ra A Christmas Special; it seems as though Orko is the main character in this saga.Skeletor and Hordak team up like they have in the past against the do gooders, however as per usual, their partnership is always faulty.All and all, I must say that this is a must have for the Filmation fans of the past. Also, something that can be added to any Christmas collection to put on for the kids. In my opinion it's right up there with ©Miracle on 34th Street and other timeless classics.Only thing I would change would be to have made the movie longer.

Perfetto come da descrizione!!! Arrivato senza problemi, nei tempi indicati.

Well what can I say. I watched this as a kid many times. Missed buying it when it was first out. Finally tracked a copy down and jumped on it. This was one of my favorite Christmas specials as a kid. I want to share it with my kids if they will let me lol.

As a child of the 80's this gave me so many happy memories and a real case of the feels watching this over Christmas. The story is very obvious from the get go, and it's a bit cliche. But I love it. The animation and voice cast are brilliant and as a cheap Christmas movie for the family to watch together this is a really good dvd.

It'not mine but my friend says " From a fan of HE-MAN thanks"

Enjoyed the movie. Was pleasantly surprised when it arrived earlier than expected
