    The Power Of Grayskull: He-Man Documentary on Netflix

    Coming to Netflix August 24th.




    From He-Man.org:

    Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the MOTU documentary from Definitive Films will debut on Netflix this August 24th!

    An astute reader of fan culture on the Internet, particularly those of us in the MOTU community, might have noticed a few things happening over the past week or so. These events line up pretty nicely, especially if you're one of those who backed Definitive Film's forthcoming feature documentary The Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

    You probably remember that this film, from a mash-up of the filmmakers behind Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Nintendo Quest: The Most Unofficial and Unauthorized Nintendo Documentary Ever!, has been in production for quite a while, although they did have an exciting screening of their most recent cut of the film at Power-Con last year...

    Well, it finally looks like they're gearing up for a release!

    Kickstarter backers have been receiving communications suggesting that tier reward packages will be processing very soon and, even more interesting, sites tracking Netflix's release schedules recently let a cat or two out of the bag.

    Below is a paragraph from shortlist.com:

    "The Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

    Cast: He-Man, Dolph Lundgren
    This Kickstarter-funded documentary featuring the one and only Dolph Lundgren is an in-depth look at one of the 1980s' best-loved relics, a toy line turned cartoon turned movie turned everything. The team behind this made the excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle documentary Turtle Power (also on Netflix) and really know their onions.

    Coming to Netflix on August 24th.

    I reached out to the filmmakers for their comment and received the email version of shrugs because they aren't able to comment on any release plans at this time.

    I did confirm however that they have plans in place to ensure that backers will have a chance to watch the documentary before any mass distribution, regardless of what how quickly the packages can be mailed out.

    Over the last few years, I've gotten to know these guys fairly well and I'm sure that, whatever they've planned, they're taking the needs of the fan community and their Kickstarter backers very seriously and no matter what happens, we'll see the results of their hard work soon!"

    Wow, I thought this was dead and the Toys That Made Us kinda beat them to the punch since then. Hopefully it will be good.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      I don't collect the toys but I'll watch this because I'm a junkie for this kind of thing.

            As long as Netflix obtained international distribution rights we should be good.

              I'll definitely watch this, but I'd rather see Toy Masters. That was the first He-Man toy doc... But it's been 7 years and still hasn't seen release. So I guess this will do.

                      Love MOTU and the TTMU episode. If it's as good as the TTMU episode then I'll be satisfied.

                        Watched the documentary yesterday. Overall, very well put together.
                        I would have liked more content covering the early era of MOTU (pre-Filmation)... but still, can't really complain.
                        Lots of fascinating looks at concept art and early character designs.
                        (And for fans of the movie, there are some awesome and informative interview segments featuring Frank Langella.)
                        Definitely worth watching.

                          I watched this on Friday when it first became available and I really enjoyed it.

                            It's a nice companion to the Toys That Made Us episode.
                            I especially liked the segment about the live action movie, with star interviews and production artwork of the characters (Saurod, Teela, even She-Ra!).
