Behind the Scenes[]
- Script was approved on February 6, 1985 and final script revision took place on March 26, 1985.
- According to the script, the mountains seen in the background of the village of North Land are those from Frosta's homeland, the Kingdom of Snows.
Continuity[]
- The character model of Serena was originally designed by Lewis Ott for the unused character of Loos' mother in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode Not so Blind.
- The character models used for Cory, Bryan and Sera were previously seen in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode Not so Blind, while the one used for Cory's sister Ariane is a reuse of Podi from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode It's Not My Fault.
- Recolored versions of the villagers of Ruxtown from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode Monster on the Mountain were used as various Etherian peasants in the background.
- The animated sequence of Adora holding her sword unsheathed as she begins her transformation into She-Ra was previously used in She-Ra Unchained, Battle for Bright Moon, Friendship, Horde Prime Takes a Holiday and The Stone in the Sword.
- The script for the season two episode Above it All indicates that the Bryan, Cory and his sister Ariane from this story all return as the children listening to Bow. However, their character models have been updated, possibly to indicate the passing of time between the first and second seasons.
