Not so Serious Movie Review: He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special (1985)

 

Kinda a mess, kinda warms my heart.

Takes a lot of creative liberties in the plot. I have so many questions. Still, a million times better than the Star Wars Holiday Special.

  • How did Skeletor and two kids walk from snowy mountains to a desert in five minutes?
  • Why do I think Miguel and Alisha are from Spain? Does Orko land in the Pyrenees?
  • Why does Skeletor ditch his lackies and go solo for the rest of the show?
  • What was Horde Prime going to do with the kids if he got them? Why is he endangered by Christmas?
  • What was the point of the tall robots?
  • Why did they put She-Ra in the bubble and then walk away? Why were they there in the first place?
  • Why did Man-At-Arms create a device that requires a crystal from another planet?
  • Was the Beast Monster's lake connected to other bodies of water? If not, how did the mermaid lady get there?
  • How does He-Man's flying motorcycle fly with no pilot?
