She-Ra: Princess of Power - Season 1: Volume 1 (DVD, 2006, 6-Disc Set)

It's about time, that these fabulous cartoons were out on DVD! I loved these shows when they were on TV, back in the mid to late 1980's. They are superbly animated! I think they are about as well done as Disney films. I like these shows because they mix fantasy with real issues that children must face, as they grow up. At the end, there is always "a moral to the story" presented in a simple way. These shows are an inspiration. She-Ra shows that a woman can be strong, as well as beautiful & intelligent. She is a very positive roll-model for young girls (& boys!) The male characters on the show are portrayed as daring and gentlemanly. (Example: "The Sea Hawk" was an evil pirate, that She-Ra convinced to do good. And, he is dashing, to say the least!) She-Ra is the long-lost twin sister of "He-Man", who had his own show, but he did cross-overs to visit his sister on her planet. (Yes, she is on another planet, which is part of the story about how he found her!) He-Man ran for two full seasons with 65 episodes each one, and She-Ra ran for only 1 and 1/2 seasons. Both characters had a line of neat toys, and were in a Christmas Special and an animated feature length film, "The Secret of The Sword". "For the Honor of Grayskull- I am She-Ra!" Enjoy the adventures of wonderful characters with caring hearts, beauty inside and outside, strong physically and mentally and well-acted scripts. When the Filmation studios quit animating these wonderful shows, television cartoons went downhill, in my opinion. There will never be shows as good as these.
