What hurt the 2002 series, in my opinion, was the anime style. Nothing wrong with anime, but it doesn't have to be shoe horned into everything. I feel it's just not a good mix with MOTU. I also thought the voice actor for He-Man was really weak. When the original He-Man shouted "I have the power!," you knew he freakin' meant it. Just awesome. Other than that it was a nice modernization of the Filmation toon. Many of the same writers and most of the voice cast did a nice job trying to sound like the originals.
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...

Most cartoons in the 80s were heavily tied into a toyline. Remember that the toon didnt come on until late '83 and didnt really show up heavily in syndication until later in '84. The toyline was already a hit, it didnt even need a cartoon tie in.
