Exclusive Interview - director Gary Hartle


Gary Hartle was the director for 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series by Mike Young Productions.

Hartle is no stranger to working in the field of animation. He has had a hand in Marvel Animation's Thor: Tales of the Asgard, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Ultimate Spider-Man. Among his older works are Johnny Bravo and Animaniacs.


Mr. Hartle answers questions that previously have been mentioned at Power-Con 2011 and hinted by producer Ian Richter in an interview at He-Man.org.
Many ideas may not have been fulfilled until officially seen on-screen, but it is fascinating to learn the secrets of what was planned for He-Man in season 3.
