He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword (1985)

He-Man and She-Ra (the sister no one knew he had, because he didn't have!) team up in a flurry of retcon face-palming to fight hopeless bad guys in this feature-length introduction to the Princess of Power. In reality it’s the first five episodes of the She-Ra cartoon edited down to a manageable length.
I had my Nostalgia Goggles on as tight as they could be while watching, but it was still mildly disappointing until Skeletor came into it.
She-Ra’s world and 90% of the people that populate it aren't as much fun as He-Man’s own roster of heroes and villians; although, special mention must go to the designer of Hordak’s Fortress because it was fantastic.

Saw this again a few weeks ago too.

It's pretty bad.

Glimmer needs to die a horrible horrible death while Bow needs a lobotomy. XD

I'd give it a 2 as well.

Even wearing his heart decorated boob armour Bow looked less gay than He-Man.

Did you hear the opening song? Jebus! I had to FFW it.

It's the hair.

It's gotta be the hair.
