A new documentary explores the He-Man phenomenon.
As much a part of the '80s as Michael Jackson and Madonna, the Masters of the Universe franchise began with a toy line and spun into cartoons, comics, lunchboxes and an infamous movie.
Randall Lobb and Robert McCallum's documentary Power of Grayskull takes an in-depth look into the Masters of the Universe phenomenon and features interviews with Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Richard Edlund, J. Michael Straczynski, Alan Oppenheimer and many more.
Power of Grayskull is on DVD/VOD September 3rd.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
In the early 1980s He-Man arrived on the scene and hit the world with a punch as powerful as the character himself. Designed in the wake of Conan the barbarian and under the shadow of Star Wars, He-Man's surprising popularity spawned a multi billion dollar empire that included toys, comic books, cartoons, live-action movies and a literal sister spinoff show - She-Ra - and continues to appeal to a ravenous fan-base today. Watch as artists, creators and collaborators dig deep, tell tales and share the surprising developments of an unlikely, unparalleled pop culture success in this Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Do you have the power?
