This is the second part of a series of posts I’m going to do on 80’s tv shows. While the shows often suffered from poor animation and weak plot lines, the intros we usually incredible. Full animation, great effects, and kicking music made you get excited about what you were about to see.

Here’s an interview with Tom Sito about some of his experiences on He Man.

“Funny how for all the attitude about He-Man and She-Ra later in the great theatrical animation boom of the 1990’s Filmation folk contributed heavily. Dan St. Pierre the art director of Disney’s Tarzan was a Filmation layout artist. The head of layout on Dreamworks’ The Prince of Egypt Lorenzo Martinez is Filmation. Almost the entire effects department Mark Myer, Randy Fullmer, Jeff Howard, Mauro Maressa matriculated to Disney’s effects department, ditto for many of the career key assistants like Randy Sanchez and the late Bruce Strock.”
