But I also despised Filmation animation and their entire take on MOTU anyways- so there wasn't much to draw me to She-Ra. BUT- the 2000X Masters reboot was beautifully drawn and had compelling stories- SheRa at least deserved something that looked as good- it's sad how far TV animation has fallen in such a short time. (that's an old man opinion, i know- I'm sure kids look at animation from my day the same way I looked at those weirdly animated old school black and white toons like MikeyMouse and Popeye- lol. Anyways- I'm sure kids today will love She-Ra, and then promptly forget they ever saw it as it just blends right in with (almost)everything else animated today

The problem with animation today is that it's too streamlined and minimalistic, which to an extent is understandable since you gotta crank these shows out quick, but it still makes cartoons blend together after awhile since there's no WOW factor to the animation.
