He Man / She Ra: A Christmas Special
Over the years, cartoons have provided the material for some topics very touching. The 1980 (and earlier) were a less politically correct time for the company and as such allowed for Christmas to be celebrated by our beloved characters. Although perhaps the most famous of these is the specialty of Charlie Brown Christmas, He-Man and She-Ra collaborated in 1985 to provide 45 minutes of pure joy holiday. The plot involves the stowage on board always mischievous Orko Man-At-Arms spy satellite 'and accidentally launched into space. For reasons never fully explained, it winds up crash landing on planet earth is just before Christmas. Upon his arrival, he met two young sons in the process of cutting a pine tree to use as their Christmas tree. When he returns to Eternia with exposed beams, the children are Orko and end up bringing the holiday spirit with them in the process. The hilarity is manifested when Skeletor begins to get some 'spirit of Christmas itself. This event coincides with the period when Filmation Hordak became the villain of the show both real and Skeletor has become basically a comic really cool looking. One way or another, the formula simply works. And unlike Charlie Brown special equipment referred to above, the He-Man She-Ra Christmas Special is actually less to do with vacations for themselves and more to do with a kidnapping escapade with whom and Skeletor Hordak start competing each other to earn the respect of Horde Prime. In addition, as mentioned before, the execution time for the feature is about 45 minutes (about that of two episodes back to back standard). Do not mistake this for an excuse to overlook this gem as it is really a piece intregal anyone BCI / Masters of the Universe collection. As always the case with BCI, attention to detail in the package is second to nessuno.Il book is again in color and is loaded with cool facts and history and once again slips BCI 2 Collector's art cards in the package: This time by comic artists Phil Jimenez and David Mack. If this is not enough to justify picking up this gem, the special features included on this disc is sure. Again BCI simply raises the bar on what is believed possible in terms of shedding light on behind the scenes of the creative process of assembly of He-Man / She-Ra legacy. This time we are treated to the documentary features two brand new (BCI tracked as everyone involved is truly worthy of a documentary itself). The first, public holidays and morale of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is an excellent series of interviews with the show's writers, artists and producers as regards the issues and lessons packed into each program and how the tradition started . The second piece (my favorite of the two) is entitled Heroes and Villains of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. This time we heard from the same heterogeneous group in the first section that is only now entering their favorite heroes and villains and what made them tick. Kingdom, both of the triumph of actually run-time presentation of the functionality (with about 70 minutes). Very interesting stuff! Finally, fans are treated to the usual question of BCI that has earned a reputation for their collections featured: A new video "I have power," a montage of moral-tag at the end of each show, character profiles, curiosity and fun facts, and the complete screenplay Christmas special on DVD-Rom. Another nice little collection from a company that leaves no stone unturned when it comes to He-Man universe.
