Masters of the Universe Drops Surprise YouTube Series for New Generation

Mattel just pulled a fast one on Masters of the Universe fans, quietly dropping a new 2D animated series, "Tales from Eternia," on its Mattel Adventures YouTube channel. Debuting June 19th, this "re-boot" is clearly aimed at a fresh wave of young viewers, a smart move to keep the classic franchise alive.

The series offers 20 bite-sized, four-minute episodes, rolling out weekly. First up, "He-Man's Secret Power!" dives into Prince Adam learning leadership extends beyond the Sword of Power. It's fast-paced, action-packed mini-adventures designed for today's attention spans.

Animation comes from Snipple Animation, known for its vibrant 2D work, with Mike Roberts (Bojack Horseman, Final Space) serving as executive producer and showrunner. That's a strong pedigree. Aidan Reimer voices He-Man, while Jonah Hundert takes on Skeletor, alongside Olivia Sgambelluri as Teela and Tiffany Smith as Evil-Lyn.
