He-Man (Adam) and his twin sister She-Ra (Adora) defend Eternia and Etheria respectively from the evil forces of Skeletor and Hordak in this Christmas special. Orko rescues two children from Earth and takes them to Eternia. When Skeletor and Hordak discover that the children are carrying the spirit of Christmas they combine forces to capture them before goodwill spreads. Can He-Man and She-Ra stop them in time?
It"s not quite The Greatest Story Ever Told but He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special has a certain seasonal je ne sais quoi that is missing from other Christmas offerings. As well as being a fifty minute toy advert, the film spins a heart-warming yarn about faith, redemption, and the importance of the holiday spirit. He-Man"s token irritating sidekick Orko (he"s drawn without a mouth or feet to make things easier to animate - how"s that for nifty 80s efficiency?) is transported to Earth following a malfunction of He-Man"s new spy satellite and meets two (so wholesome they"re positively nauseating) children, Alisha and Miguel. The kids have just enough time to explain the spirit of Christmas to Orko before all three are rescued/kidnapped by the crafty engineering skills of Man-At-Arms. Once on Eternia, the kid"s constant prattling about Christmas manages to annoy Horde Prime (a baddie who was apparently to evil to be featured in the TV series), who sends Skeletor and She-Ra"s arch-enemy Hordak in a phallic helicopter to capture them. The kids are certainly popular on Eternia as, next thing you know, they are captured by the Monstroids, machines capable of transformations not unlike the characters from another popular 80s series. The kids are rescued by the Manchines only to be kidnapped once more by Skeletor and led on a Duke of Edinburgh style hike across an icy tundra. Unfortunately, Skeletor, suffering from both an infection of the Christmas Spirit and a strange attraction to a little blue Manchine puppy, does not kill the children but in fact gives them nice warm coats and saves them from Horde Prime. He-Man and She-Ra were obviously feeling like having a light day rescue-wise as they stroll in at the end, get festively dressed for a highly camp Christmas party and then transport the kids back to Earth and their parents just in time for the big day. Considering its incredibly low production costs (just how many times can they run past the same bit of scenery?), this DVD comes with a hefty selection of special features including documentaries, a music video, character profiles, and a montage of morals(!).
