Next year, "The Secret of the Sword" turns 40. Promotional Poster for "The Secret of the Sword" (1985) Also known as "He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword", it was 39 years ago when this animated film featuring the most powerful man in the universe and the origin of his equally powerful twin sister, debuted in theaters worldwide on March 22nd, 1985. Promotional Poster for "The Secret of the Sword" (1985) Starring John Erwin as He-Man and Melendy Britt as She-Ra and comprised of an edited compilation of the first five episodes of the brand new series "She-Ra: Princess of…

We need He-Man & She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword back in theaters in 2025 for its 40th Anniversary. I'm not talking a couple local theaters, but a Fathom type event like has happened for recent 35th anniversaries of the animated Transformers and G.I. Joe 80s movies. Transformers is even releasing its first 4 episodes in theaters this weekend for the 40th anniversary of the G1 show. I think our best bet it to pepper Fathom, Universal-Dreamworks, Mattel, and anyone else on their social media accounts about it. Even just a handful of people suggesting it might be enough to get the thought in Fathom's head.
I never saw anything He-Man or She-Ra at the movies so add me to the list! I would love to watch this with my fellow MOTU COMMUNITY!

This is so outstanding idea. Perhaps this site would be willing to lead the charge.
I'm not sure we even have to go to that level. Unless one got thousands upon thousands of signatures, it probably isn't worth it. I think more along the lines of say Fathom Events posts something slightly related like an animated movie or retro 70s-80s-90s movie on Twitter or Facebook, someone posting something like "Hey, that is awesome this is coming out. It would also be awesome if you had an event for the 40th anniversary of He-Man & She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword in 2025." If people do that every so often and it gets say a dozen likes every time, they'd probably take notice. I don't think this needs to be a huge operation.I 💗 this idea! Do we start one of those online petitions?

This probably wouldn't screen near me but I will help. Dreamworks owns it right? We can also message them. Do you think they would need Mattel's permission to do this?
I think any company that could be attached even slightly would be good to bug, so I'd say yes to DreamWorks, Mattel, Masters of the Universe official accounts, etc.. When I saw Shout Factory was involved with the Transformers: The Movie 35th release anny extras, I made sure to ask them about a 35th anny release of G.I. Joe: The Movie since they are both Hasbro properties and Shout did the DVD releases of both.
Great idea @firefly ! I love that you thought of this so far in advance where there is time to legitimately make this happen. I will also put together an article for it, this week, with ways to contact the necessary parties. If you would like to write it, feel free, but if not, I am certainly going to credit you for it! 🙂

You can go ahead and write it up, AJ. Thanks.
I just got back from a 40th anniversary showing of the first 4 episodes of Transformers. Even though the episodes weren't originally meant for theaters, they still looked good. It was in one of their smaller theaters there, but close to a sellout. I believe Hasbro used a company called Trafalgar Releasing over Fathom for this particular event.

Yay! I can't wait to read it!

Wonderful! I am looking forward to the article. Perhaps this call to action will be answered and this old geezer can add another item to his bucket list!
This is awesome! Family trip to the movies surrounded by my motu friends! Please let this happen!
I hope this works!
Also I'll be the only one who cares but that is one handsome Star Trek 3 poster!
@asterstar oh i care 😉
i'm a huge trekkie girl ! i wonder if they will give away copies of that exact poster as a freebie w a movie ticket
mad props to you @firefly for this gift of an idea and to you our lovely aj @admin for sharing it with us all in community post.
a re-release of one of my childhood favs ! let's make it happen, we have the power (as does mattel, dreamworks et al.....they just have to be reminded that they do lol)
a 2025 re-release of SOTS would do absolute wonders to boost public interest in the MoTU brand ahead of the 2026 release of the live-action movie. kinda like what fox did for star wars in the late 90's, remember when they re-released the original trilogy in preparation for the release of phantom menace?
if they re-release secret of the sword, it will serve to remind lifelong fans such as us of why it is we love he-man in the first place, it would also double as a great introduction to the MoTU world for newcomers and little ones.
on aj's YouTube post, there is a comment underneath from an 18 year old user who says that this generation NEEDS he-man.
mad props to you @firefly for this gift of an idea and to you our lovely aj @admin for sharing it with us all in community post.
Props from me too! This post is perfect! I would love to watch this with my fellow MOTU FANS and discuss our experiences here afterwards! I'm so excited about the possibility. I never saw anything He-Man or She-Ra at the movies and nothing would make me happier than seeing Filmation He-Man and She-Ra. The best kind!
Not just releasing it but remastering it would be a big draw. Now with AI I'm sure whoever re-releases it can do it on the cheap.
