Behind the Scenes[]
- Script was approved October 9, 1984 and final script revision took place February 28, 1985.
- The title for this episode comes from the song He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother by The Hollies.
- Adam and Teela are looking at Eternia’s two moons over the Royal Palace from a long distance away. But in close ups, their surrounding are that of the palace gardens.
Continuity[]
- When Prince Adam is pulled to the Fight Zone through the dimensional gateway, the background shows the Crossroads of All Universes from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode Quest for He-Man.
- The sequence of He-Man and She-Ra working together to lift and throw a large object would be seen again in Day of the Flowers and Sweet Bee's Home.
- The animated sequence in which She-Ra sheathes the Sword of Protection will be used in reverse in the episode The Greatest Magic.
Errors[]
- Loo-Kee is hiding in the bushes during Adora and Spirit’s transformation into She-Ra and Swift Wind. But he doesn’t learn their secret identities until Loo-Kee Lends a Hand.
- The animation of Hordak destroying a statue titled ‘Obey’ in his throne room is mostly reused from Into Etheria. The only difference is that this time flames shoot out from his canon instead of a laser beam, although it has turned back into a laser before the impact with the statue. He will destroy it again in The Perils of Peekablue and Glimmer Come Home, but in these two instances his arm cannon will have a different look.
- In the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episodes Eternal Darkness and Jacob and the Widgets, Eternia has only one moon. But in The Shadow of Skeletor, Into the Abyss and this episode there are more than one.
