Description:
This was a revival of the classic 80's cartoon He-man and the Masters of the Universe for the modern age, it focused on the early adventures of Prince Adam, who, having just become Eternia's most powerful guardian He-Man, had to learn how to handle his new powers, and lead his allies into battle against the evil Skeletor. With the aid of his own Evil Warrior henchmen, Skeletor schemes to blanket Eternia in chaos, and rule over the planet in dominion. Only He-Man, guided and advised by the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, stands in his way.
With the aid of his trusted friends and Masters, he vows to end Skeletor's evil and the other evils that plague Eternia. The battle is joined as Good and Evil collide in a fight for Eternia's fate!
This unique take on the retro fan favorite delighted and entertained the children of this decade as it did to those living in the 80's.

No more replacementsJan 06, 2009 I loved this update of the classic series, however for those who buy this in 2009 or later, there are no more replacement discs mentioned in some of the reviews below, so we are out of luck. I was really into that episode too. Anybody got a replacement disc to sell?
Great dvdJul 26, 2008 This cartoon is a great revamp of the classic he man cartoons. The best thing about this version of he man is that we actually see Adam being told why he needs to become he man and what is so special about castle grayskull. Some Masters and villians have origin stories which to my knowledge has never been done before. All in all this is a great cartoon series.
The best cartoon ever made!Jul 14, 2008 A big fan of the whole series. You can't go wrong with this one, besides you own one you gotta own them all.
I could not believe me eyesJul 02, 2008 First, 4 stars because of the problem in disc 1 (courage of adam), that you have to ask for a replacement (visit he-man.org or scroll down to the review that has the address for the new disc). I got the replacement disc, extra cards so it was a plus.
I got to see only a few episodes of season 1 on cartoon network latin america, some how something was missing. I watched a few but disliked it, as a result I stopped watching alltogether.
When this set came out, a voice in the back of my head told me to get it. Trust me I am a fan. I got the original four DVD sets, plus POP 3 sets, I do not care for the new adventures series when the price drops really low I may get both sets. With all this in mind, I got this volumen and was HOOKED.
The stories are EXCELLENT, they catered to today's audience but the essence of the original series is there. The first three episodes chronicle how adam gets the sword, never done before. In the original, we knew he got it on his 18th B-Bay.
The re concept of the characters is algo GREAT. You see now a clear difference between Adam and He-Man, something you did not see in the original.
The quality is OUTSTANDING... I had the pleasure to see it on my brand new plasma, and it was an experience out of this world.
I think that watching it on a regular TV, spanish track killed the mood all those years ago. Now I am back, and Recommend this to all of you.
Get Volume 1 and 2 together and be ready to HAVE THE POWER.

Episode Error?May 29, 2008 One thing I have noticed is in the episode "Courage of Adam" on Disc 1, at about the 15 min mark there seems to be an entire section the episode missing.
The episode shows Cringer trying to give Adam, who was imprisoned, his sword back then he gets chanced away, and the episode fades away and the next scene shows the Masters and Adam outside and free. It never showed the Master's arriving and Adam escaping. At first I thought it to be from another episode but Cringer was still wearing the harness to carry Adam's sword.
I am not sure if this was an editing error or a bad copy on a disc. For now I am throwing it up to an editing error, hence the reason for the low score. They should have put more car into making sure everything gets on the disc.
Besides the little issue with that episode, this series I enjoy, and I like it a lot.
**EDITED TO CORRECT A TYPO, I meant to say section (read the comment) but I said second.
