FILMATION - 1983

Not so Blind

Official Synopsis sourced from Wiki Grayskull and Wikipedia (CC BY-SA). Composed for heman.org 2026-05-18 Synopsis

He-Man and Ram Man take a blind boy named Loos on a trip to the Singing Crystals. But a flash of light results in both He-Man and Ram Man becoming blind as well, and Loos proves he is more capable than others assume when he leads the heroes to safety himself. An old man and some children (implicitly) tell viewers blind people can do most things seeing people do, and by devoting more brainpower to their other senses, can be particularly helpful with those.

Morals by He-Man closing message, original Filmation broadcast

**Prince Adam:** "So, children, what did you learn from the story?" **Little Boy #1:** "Even thought Loos is blind, he's just like the rest of us." **Little Boy #2:** "Yeah, and because he learned to use his other senses he helped He-Man." **Storyteller:** "That's right. Just because a person is blind or handicapped, well, it doesn't mean that they're helpless." **Little Girl:** "Yeah. They have feelings and want to do stuff like we do, too." **Prince Adam:** "And who knows? You might learn as much from them as they do from you."

Notes of Interest

  1. Behind the scenes: Script was approved May 22, 1984 and final script revision took place July 13, 1984. In the first draft of Robert Lamb's script, Lizard Man took the place of Ram Man. The character models for Loos and the Storyteller were designed by Lewis Ott. He also designed the character of Loos' mother, but her scenes were never animated. However, this design was reused as Serena in the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode Book Burning.
  2. Continuity: Background elements used for the collapsing bridge scene are reused from a similar scene in Fraidy Cat. The animated sequence of He-Man pulling up the rope bridge was previously seen in Dawn of Dragoon. Two of the children's character models will be reused as the ones that ask Filmation to tell them a story in the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode The Crown of Knowledge. The character models used for three of the children will be reused as Bryan, Cory and Sera in the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode Book Burning.
