While rotoscoping is generally known to bring a sense of realism to larger budget animated films, the American animation company Filmation, known for its budget-cutting limited TV animation, was also notable for its heavy usage of rotoscope to good effect in series such as Flash Gordon, Blackstar, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Filmation also pioneered other animation technologies, particularly in Flash Gordon, which included backlighting effects for the first time in American animation ( they were already in use in Japan ), including moire effects to represent energy fields ( a technique that was later used in He-Man and later in She-Ra ).

Filmation is also noteworthy for its lavish background paintings under the direction of longtime department head Erv Kaplan such as the purple-colored " night sky " backgrounds used in He-Man and She-Ra.

Mattel's subsequent attempts to relaunch the He-Man toy line have also led to the short-lived sequel series The New Adventures of He-Man in the early 1990s, and an update of the series for a contemporary audience in 2002.

Adventure Soft also began producing games for Tynesoft including the game of Supergran and Terraquake ( featuring He-Man ).

Since that time, Mattel has also featured He-Man and the other Masters of the Universe characters in, inter alia, a television series, comic books, and video tapes.

Additionally, Roger Sweet has claimed also to have been " real impressed " by the paintings of fantasy artist Frank Frazetta when creating He-Man.

He-Man often appeared in special crossover episodes of She-Ra to aid his sister, and many other characters from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, both heroic and evil, also had crossover episodes.

The story will deal with the The Powers of Grayskull line, which included King Hsss, Tyrantisaurus Rex and He-Ro, tying the toy continuity to the He-Man line, also known as " Preternia He-Man ".

Clarke is also the voice of Prince Adam and He-Man in the 2002 version of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe TV series.

Her writing credits include children's shows such as the 1970s series Land of the Lost — which also featured other Star Trek veterans — He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in 1983 ( episode " Battle Cat "), and the Beast Wars episode " Crossing the Rubicon ".

In this series, Man-At-Arms was voiced by Gary Chalk, who also voiced He-Man in The New Adventures of He-Man.

Despite the limited animation techniques that were used to produce the series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was notable for breaking the boundaries of censorship that had severely restricted the narrative scope of children's TV programming in the 1970s.

However, given that the He-Man series had been ceased to allow Filmation to concentrate on She-Ra, Filmation decided to reassign Hordak and the Evil Horde as the main villains of the She-Ra series to give the characters exposure.

Seeing Skeletor's interference, the Sorceress allows He-Man to enter the battle but, " for reasons that will be made clear to you in the future ," he had to be disguised.

If season three of the series had been produced, it would have seen Skeletor and He-Man dealing with the Horde invasion and the powerful Hordak, who it was said Skeletor would eventually have defeated.

Fortunately, Man-At-Arms, who recognizes He-Man as the alter ego of Adam, quickly steps in and stops him, informing Teela and the other Masters that the new hero is He-Man and that the Sorceress had told him of He-Man's coming beforehand.

The element of the transformation from Adam to He-Man is retained from the first cartoon series, as the makers felt it would be unwise to abandon it given that the transformation sequence had been one of the most popular elements of the original series.

As was the case with Skeletor and He-Man, Hordak received later action-figure iterations that had new special features.

Cannon, however, was in financial trouble and had to cancel deals with both Mattel and Marvel Entertainment, the owners of He-Man and Spider-Man, respectively.
