Trivia
The movie was made out of the first five episodes of She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985) Its purpose was to introduce She-Ra' character for the new show that would accompany He-man as a sister show. The TV episodes were created first, and then edited into the feature film. This meant that the music score had to be restructured and a couple of scenes were tweaked (also see Alternate Versions)

Goofs
Battle Cat knocks Catra's mask off, causing her to return to humanoid form, and begins to chase her. However, when he is seen still chasing her a short time later, the mask is back on her head.

Quotes
Garv the Innkeeper: Welcome to the Laughing Swan, stranger. How may we serve you today?
Cringer: Uh, how about a little chow?
Garv the Innkeeper: Uh, your uh, your animal, he... uh... he speaks?
Adam: Well, doesn't everybody?

Crazy credits
Writer Larry DiTillio's last name was misspelled on the original release as 'DiTillo'. This was corrected for the DVD release.

Alternate versions
Television Version aired as the first five episodes of She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985) with additional footage that was cut out of the feature film.

Every now and then a film achieves greatness. An animated movie based on a Mattel toy line might not be a place where you would expect this to happen but it did. Two years before this film came out the television show He-Man and the Masters of the Universe debuted. The show was loved by children but hated by adults who thought this was just a twisted way to get the kids to buy the toy the series was based on. Well it was or at least it was intended to be. However something wonderful happened: the show began to teach children moral values and the power of truth, courage, and honor. This film introduces characters that would begin the series She-Ra Princess of Power. The acting is brilliant, the animation perfectly tuned to fantasy, and the evil ever present and not as cartoonish as one might expect. This cartoon whether some will admit it or not was a shining beacon and a glorious presence for any kid in 1980's. Watch it without prejudice and discover wonder, majic, and heroism like you have never seen.
