Which is the best reason to watch this. I wish they'd had him sing more.

Well don't get me wrong, I find this special to be pretty lame, and the preachiness is way over the top, you're right. But it's one of those things that have to be seen to be believed. That and, I kind-of like the art in it if nothing else. Other than a few off-shots that you kind of have to freeze-frame to notice, everyone looks just like they should in their respective shows, and yet still look natural together on screen.

I remember being shown this special in school and I was so surprised and thrilled when Michaelangelo showed up, lol.

I actually think Cartoon All Stars was one of the better anti-drug specials. It doesn't just say "drugs are bad" or "just say no" without explaining why. The characters actually level with the kid that everyone has problems in life, but you have to find other ways of dealing with it than drugs. That's something not even schools teach very well.

Btw, I also love Nostalgia Critic's review of this special and his countdown of drug PSAs, lol.

Awesome! I remember watching this a couple of times when it first came on. I remember being disappointed that He-man and the other Turtles weren't in it. In fact, I still am.

Oh, I know that. The last of the Masters of the Universe figures were made in 1987. This cartoon came out in 1990. However, I was still disappointed.

At least he doesn't sing opera in it.
