Into the Dark Dimension is the 39th episode of She-Ra: Princess of Power.
Plot Summary[]
Moral[]
Loo-Kee: "Instead of playing our usual game I'd like to talk to you about a very big problem, drugs! You may have friends, maybe older children or even adults, who are trying to, or may try to turn you onto drugs. Drugs are not a turn-on, drugs are a turn-off. They could seriously harm you. I beg you, don't try them. Say 'no' to drugs. Say 'yes' to a life free from drugs."

Behind the Scenes[]
- Script was approved on November 2, 1984. Final script revision was completed on July 8, 1985. The drug-related moral was cleared with Sgt. Whitman of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program (DARE) on March 6, 1985.
- A removed scene had the Dark One narrate a montage of scenes showcasing further aspects of She-Ra and Hordak's journey through the Dark Dimension, including them asking for directions from a strange group of Mushroom People.
- According to the original script, the furry creature that asks for berries is called a Maowser, and the creature with a jewel in it's forehead is called a Queeper.
- Loo-Kee does not have a hiding place in this episode.
Continuity[]
- The character model for the Dark One is the same as Dragoon from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode Dawn of Dragoon. Only the colors have been slightly altered.
- The rainbow effect and backgrounds seen when She-Ra & Hordak travel between dimensions were seen earlier in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episodes Quest for He-Man and The Return of Granamyr and will be seen again in the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode The Greatest Magic.
- The Dark Dimension was first mentioned in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode Daimar the Demon, in which Daimar claimed to be it's king. His place now appears to have been taken by the Dark One, who calls himself Master of the Dark Dimension.
- The animation of She-Ra falling through space is reused in a sequence of She-Ra falling towards a ship in Anchors Aloft, Part 2.
- The character model of the worm-like creature that grabs Hordak was previously used as the Sand Devil in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode The Witch and the Warrior and as the Scarg in the episode Trouble in Trolla.
