Evilseed who appeared in the season one
He-Man episode
"Evilseed" was one of my favorite characters from the
Filmation series. The
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series by
Mike Young Productions reintroduced the character to a new generation of fans, and he appeared in numerous episodes. Will alone had allowed
Zadoc Angell and I the ability to write an incredibly in-depth guide to the Filmation series back in 2001 for the writers of the new show, a guide which included a lengthy profile on Evilseed! Be that as it may the character's portrayal in the new show was a little unexpected. Out went the old sinister Evilseed and in came this character that at times was portrayed quite comically with a highly irritating voice. On the first
He-Man season one DVD boxset released by
BCI a lot of fans who had long since forgotten about the original Evilseed were surprised to see the character show up, many believing him to be a creation by the writers of the new show! DVD quality finally gave us the chance to see the original Evilseed as he was always intended to look, a lot of his best movements animated by storyboard artist
Tom Sito!
