Q 01Adora's original 1985 cartoon, 'She-Ra: Princess of Power', came from which studio?
Filmation
Filmation built She-Ra from scratch together with a toy maker, the reverse of its earlier hit, where the studio had been handed a toy line that already existed.
Q 02In both the 1985 cartoon and the 2018 reboot, which Horde rank does Adora hold before she defects?
Force Captain
Force Captain is the badge Shadow Weaver hands Adora in the reboot's first episode, hours before she finds a sword in the woods and walks away; Catra goes on to claim the rank herself.
Q 03Which toy company bankrolled Adora's 1985 cartoon and made the Princess of Power dolls?
Mattel
Mattel split the cast across two toy aisles: the heroines became Princess of Power dolls, while Hordak and his henchmen were sold as Masters of the Universe action figures.
Q 04Who hid somewhere in almost every episode of Adora's 1985 cartoon for viewers to spot?
Loo-Kee
Loo-Kee popped out at the end of almost every episode to show viewers where he had been hiding, then delivered the moral of the story.
Q 05In the 1985 cartoon, Adora is the twin sister of which prince?
Adam
Adam grew up with no idea he had a sister: after Hordak stole the baby Adora, the Sorceress wiped all memory of her from everyone but their parents and Man-At-Arms.
Q 06What is the name of the weapon that lets Adora transform?
The Sword of Protection
The Sword of Protection carries a jewel in its hilt that holds the magic: when the stone is damaged in one episode, Adora can no longer transform at all.
Q 07What is Adora's transformation catchphrase?
"For the honor of Grayskull!"
"For the honor of Grayskull!" survived into the 2018 reboot word for word, even though the brother whose battle cry it echoes never appears in that series.
Q 08Adora's adventures as She-Ra are set on which planet?
Etheria
Etheria is already under Hordak's rule when the story opens, so where her brother defends a free kingdom, She-Ra has to lead a rebellion against an occupier.
Q 09Which princess, a tech genius who uses her long hair like extra hands, ends up working in Hordak's lab?
Entrapta
Entrapta is left behind by accident on a rescue mission, so she stays with the enemy for the machines and ends up the scientist behind Hordak's portal.
Q 10Hordak is revealed in the 1985 cartoon to have been the teacher of which He-Man villain?
Skeletor
Skeletor showed his old teacher no loyalty: when Hordak turned up at his base in the 1985 film, the pupil used him in a kidnapping plot and then drove him off to keep the prize.
Q 11Adora's horse Spirit transforms into which winged steed?
Swift Wind
Swift Wind gains wings, a horn and a voice; in the reboot he starts out as an ordinary horse that She-Ra's magic transforms by accident, and he promptly takes up the cause of freeing other horses.
Q 12Which 1985 film was stitched together from what became the first five episodes of Adora's cartoon?
The Secret of the Sword
The Secret of the Sword reached cinemas in March 1985, about six months before the cartoon itself began airing, so audiences first met Adora on the big screen.
Q 13Who co-wrote the uncredited series bible for Adora's 1985 cartoon with Larry DiTillio?
J. Michael Straczynski
Q 21Which power is Glimmer's signature in Adora's 2018 reboot?
Teleportation
Teleportation runs down like a battery: Glimmer can only store so much magic, and once it is spent she has to go home to her kingdom's runestone to recharge.
Q 22Who voices Adora in the 2018 reboot of She-Ra?
Aimee Carrero
Aimee Carrero was already the voice of Disney's Princess Elena of Avalor when she was cast, so until 2020 she was playing two animated princesses at once.
Q 23Who voices Catra in Adora's 2018 reboot?
AJ Michalka
AJ Michalka, half of the pop duo Aly & AJ, also sang for the show: her cover of its theme song appears on the soundtrack album released just before the final season.
J. Michael Straczynski, later the creator of Babylon 5, said in 2018 that the studio 'never wanted any credits' on its series bibles, which is why his name is missing from a show he helped invent.
Q 14What is the name of the Horde's stronghold?
The Fright Zone
The Fright Zone once got a makeover: in the 1985 cartoon the captive Perfuma covered it in flowers until Hordak begged She-Ra to take her back.
Q 15In the 1985 cartoon, the spirit Light Hope guards which secret place?
The Crystal Castle
The Crystal Castle is where She-Ra goes for advice in a crisis: Light Hope, its guardian, usually appears there as a pillar of light rather than a person.

ND Stevenson
ND Stevenson did more than run the show: he also gave himself a small part in the cast, voicing the wind-wielding rebel princess Spinnerella.
Q 17Adora and Catra's reboot showrunner first became known for which Eisner-winning comic?

Q 18Adora and Catra's reboot premiered on which streaming service in November 2018?

Q 19Which studio produced Adora and Catra's 2018 reboot?

Q 25Which black-ish actor voices Bow in Adora's 2018 reboot?

Q 29Which galactic tyrant with an army of clones is the last villain Adora and Catra face?

Q 30What does Adora destroy in season four to stop an ancient superweapon?
Her sword
Her sword turns out to be the key that fires the superweapon, so Adora shatters it and gives up being She-Ra, until the power comes back from within her in the final season.
