FILMATION - 1983

The Good Shall Survive

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

Buzz-Off's Bee People come under attack by the Tycons, aided by Skeletor. He-Man tells viewers to treat envy not with theft, but by asking politely to share; they might even make a friend.

Morals by He-Man closing message, original Filmation broadcast

**He-Man:** "We learned to day that there are right ways and wrong ways of getting what you want. If someone has something you want, say a toy you'd like to play with or maybe some candy or cake, don't just take it. That's stealing and chances are you'll only bring out the anger in the other person. But if you ask rather than take, or if it's yours, offer to share. You'll get back more than you give, like maybe even a new friend. Right, Orko?" (Orko waggles his ears) "See you next time."

Notes of Interest

  1. Behind the scenes: Script was approved May 24, 1984 and final script revision took place July 1, 1984. During the transformation sequences, Cringer says 'Why is it I never like this part?" According to the script, this line concluded with "...of the story?"
  2. Continuity: The animated sequence of Skeletor sitting in a pool of water was first seen in Return of Evil. The shot of Skeletor sitting at the far end of the council table was previously used in The Dragon Invasion, with Beast Man, Evil-Lyn, Jitsu and Trap Jaw sitting at the table instead of Webstor and Kobra Khan.
