| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films
- Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
- Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
- Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
- Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
- Plot summary
- Include cast and crew information.
- At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
- Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF
Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading. |
[edit] First film based on a toy franchise
I read somewhere that Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure was the first film - it was released back in 1977. Esn 20:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Film cut into episodes or episodes compiled into film?
it was later edited into the series' first five episodes
I was always under the impression that the first five episodes were written as such (and certainly the fact one has a different writing team reinforces this) and only put together as a film to a) capitalise on the success of the He-Man, b) make it easier to launch She-Ra overseas (where the cartoon may not yet have arrived) and c) boost sales.
Is there any evidence the story was conceived as a film from the outset? Timrollpickering 08:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I read somewhere that the first five episodes of the series had extra and/or longer scenes that were edited out of the theatrical release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.230.39 (talk) 03:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
