Prince Adamn is left handed. He-man is right handed. Pretty cool change. Except you would think it qould screw Adams brain up sence he-man and Adam are the same person.

He was eating wirth his left hand in the sword and stone too. yet painting with his write hand in a he-man episode. maybe he is just amedextrias. course it could be with whatever fits with the animation.

In some episodes, He-Man is a southpaw. Likely answer is due to the animators using flipped cells. This is why the characters designs are vertically symmetrical.

Yeah I think we can chalk this one up to Filmation's cost cutting animation techniques more than anything. That's not a slam against Filmation BTW. I admire Lou Scheimer's dedication to doing the animation in-house, in America, rather than farming it out to Japan or wherever.

Whoa, I never noticed! Thanks for pointing that out to us. Cool! I'm sure it's because of what another poster on here said--way to make the animation less costly and just flip shots and cells.

Cool trivia, thanks!
