Orko: "Well, from now on, I'll be happy to look at the eledons and garks from outside the sanctuary!"
Teeka: "It was just Skeletor's meddling that made those creatures angry."
He-Man: "And forutnately, Rikki had a solution that helped him learn a lesson."
Rikki: "Anything that's really worth doing takes a lot of hard work and study."
Teela: "Maybe if you care about what you're doing, the work won't seem quite so hard."

Continuity[]

The purple monkeys reuse N’kima’s model from Filmation’s 1976 cartoon Tarzan, Lord of The Jungle.

The character model used for one of King Randor's warriors was originally designed for an unused keeper of the Temple of the Sun for Trouble's Middle Name.
