80's Cinematic Universe

Welcome to our page on the 80's CU where we have pitch videos, story outlines, concept art, and screenplays for all of our film and TV show adaptations of classic 80's cartoons!

Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ThunderCats, Voltron, She-Ra: Princess of Power, SilverHawks, Street Sharks, and more! Down below you will find the original pitch video that introduces the 80's CU and provides a rough treatment for the entire series. Enjoy!

He-Man

He-Man 1 will be analogous to 2008's Iron Man in that it will launch our 80's CU with our flagship hero and help set the fun yet epic, retro tone - as well as establish the Science Fantasy genre as our mainstream setting - for the rest of the 80's CU.

To the left, you can watch the video where I pitch the He-Man film, as well as a gallery containing artwork that will help illustrate the visual style and art design of this film. Down below, you will find a number of supporting documents such as character backstories, Eternia worldbuilding notes, and an outline that breaks down He-Man 1 scene-by-scene. This outline will especially interest those who wish to go deeper and know the full story, plot, and character arcs of He-Man 1 beyond what the pitch originally illustrated. (Disclaimer: Please note that the outline contains revisions and edits to the original story told in the pitch. So please refer to the outline as the official final draft of He-Man 1.)
