She-Ra - Princess of Power - Season One, Vol. 1 [DVD]
L**A
The original She-Ra will always be my favorite!
When I saw this? I was like Amazon listened to me! Digital is the ONLY way to go!!! I devoured the whole series and then was sad it was all over. =( I remember watching this when I was a little girl. When they remade it I watched that too and was so disappointed. I'm a girl, but I don't need the whole girl power thing. I'm totally cool being a woman and I don't need to be a superhero too. I'm not spoiling it, but when I got to the end of the new She-Ra I was pissed! How dare they change her to make her fit the WORLD. All because the new she-ra was under the supervision of a woman who hates men. I pray for her and am sorry for her that her ex-husband traumatized her so deeply, but I wish she hadn't taken her issues out on my favorite cartoon character.

Awesome Shows but more Frosta, Castaspella, & Angella please!!!
I am so pleased that She-Ra is finally out on DVD. The box set is beautiful and you can clearly see that so much work was put into bringing back She-Ra and her colorful friends. It brings me back to my childhood and reminds me how much I loved this show.However, there are 2 things that have been bugging me about the shows. The two things that has been bugging me since I received the set is how underutilized and invisible some of She-Ra's friends are and that some of their powers' are inconsistent and random.1.) Strong, powerful characters such as Frosta aren't in any of the shows from the first season DVD box set. Believe it or not, you won't see Frosta until volume 2, season 1 and that's only ONCE!!! The same applies to Mermista as well!!! Castaspella thankfully makes a few appearances, but the writers of the show limited the extent of her air-time and in showing how magical she is. She proves it on Season 1, Volume 2 a few times though.2.) Other characters such as the very powerful Queen Angella (she is way too underutilized) and even her daughter Glimmer seem to have selective use of their magic and power. It doesn't make sense that Queen Angella can bring down the whole Horde Army at certain times and then sits on her throne acting as if she's helpless, frightened, and powerless. Glimmer also suffers from the same "affliction" her mother does. The only difference is that Glimmer's magical abilities and powers are more inconsistent and randomly used.Instead of seeing She-Ra fight side by side with powerful characters such as Castaspella, Frosta, Mermista, and Queen Angella, we instead get to see her fighting with BOW, MADAME RAZZ, BROOM, and KOWL all the time??? With the exception of Bow, the other 3 are useless. However, they are very colorful characters!Truly, I love all the shows and am happy they are back. I just couldn't resist writing about She-Ra's friends and who I would have preferred seeing in battle.If you had to choose, would you prefer the team of Madame Razz, Broom, and Kowl fighting with She-Ra all the time or Queen Angella, Frosta, and Castaspella instead???

and I absolutely LOVE it. The only problem I've encountered so far
I bought this new, still wrapped in its plastic, and I absolutely LOVE it. The only problem I've encountered so far, and the only thing that has stopped me from giving it full stars, is that I can't seem to turn the commentary for King Miro's Journey (on disc 2) off no matter what I do. It's the only problem I've encountered with the set. However, everything else is great and this DVD box set completes my collection of the cartoon series. I'm so glad I picked it up! This cartoon series definitely stands the test of time and, if you ask me, ended too early. I think any kid could benefit from watching this series, and She-Ra and Adora make great role models for girls. Phenomenal animation and art, great and engaging characters, wonderful morals. And for those of us who grew up with the show, there's great commentary from people who worked behind-the-scenes on the show to make it happen, as well as other great goodies in the extras that are just a superbly wonderful treat. No regrets on buying this, even with the commentary glitch on the one episode.

Nice quality image and packaging
Nice quality image and packaging. Exactly what you'd expect; favorite childhood character teaching life lessons and not really hurting anyone despite all the "fighting". My kids, even the boys, like it.

The dvd arrived in great time. But alas would not work on my dvd player. I was unaware that I needed a special type of dvd. In fairness to the supplier it was on the screen when i purchased it i just didnt understand it. Would definitely buy from this supplier again.
