He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword is a 1985 American animated feature film produced by Filmation. Although released before the series She-Ra: Princess of Power began, the film was a compilation of the first five episodes with minor edits made.[3] The film was part of a trend of theatrically released animations created by producers of TV shows and toys during the 1980s.[4]

The first 5 episodes in She-Ra's epic adventures are combined in this feature film. He-Man travels to the exotic world of Etheria on a quest to take an unusual, jeweled sword to a stranger in the unknown land. On Etheria, He-Man is captured by Adora, Captain of the Evil Horde army. However Adora is really He-Man's long lost twin sister, kidnapped from their homeland of Eternia as a baby by the Evil Horde. Brother and sister battle until He-Man and the powers of Greyskull open She-Ra's mind to reveal her true identity.
The Secret of the Sword was met a mostly negative response from critics.[5] [6]
