I also was not a He-Man fan, but I think some of my (younger than me) sisters
might have been.

I was a fan of "Episodes IV-VI," i.e. the originals, too.  I did see I-III
and they were OK.  I also saw VII and it felt a lot like they took the
story from the first movie of the original trilogy and rehashed most of it
with a new generation of characters.

As a result I have yet to get around to watching the last two movies of the
final trilogy.

I did enjoy the "The Clone Wars" animated movie and series.  IMHO, without
watching that, young Anikan would have *never* seemed like a likeable
character to me.  That movie and series actually humanizes him some, while
the live action movies, Episodes II and III, made him seem mostly like a
spoiled young man who was always destined for evil.

In those two movies, you never see the "used to be a good guy" Anikan that
is mentioned during the original trilogy, but you see the good in him in
The Clone Wars.
