8/10
Skeletor truly steals the show
7 December 2021
He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special (1985) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows some children that are accidentally sent to Eternia at the worst time ever, just before Christmas. Initially, they run into Skeletor and his horde which sounds like doom and gloom; but when Christmas is at risk, could Skeletor change his ways and save the day?

This movie is codirected by Bill Reed (Earthworm Jim) and Ernie Schmidt (Duck Tales & Mighty Mouse) and contains the voices of John Erwin (Babe), Alan Oppenheimer (Westworld), Linda Gary (Switch), Melendy Britt (Cheers) and Lou Scheimer (Chappie).

I absolutely love this movie and it brings so much nostalgia back from my childhood. The He-man music is classic and it's always fun seeing Eternia. She'Ra's grand appearance is epic as is Skeletor and his zings at any and everybody. The ending is surprising and very entertaining; and I must say, Skeletor truly steals the show.

Overall this is a very fun movie that is a must see for anyone who grew up in the 80s. I would score this a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend seeing it once.
