What's left behind the scenes

Episodes featuring a character named Skeletor were not aired in France, where his appearance was considered too frightening for a child audience.
The secret of Castle Grayskull was intended to be an orb containing the combined consciousness of the ancient scientists of Eternia. This idea had to be discarded, although references to the secret remained in some episodes. The idea was reused in the 2002 reboot.
