I remember fans being excited to learn that for the DVD-release, MYP-cartoon would be presented in widescreen 16:9 format,
as it was animated.
On TV-airings at Cartoon Network, we only had the square 4:3 version. But they are very fascinating to look at and the differences
there are to the DVD-version.
Below are screencaptures from Season 1 episode "Lessons".
You will notice that on right-hand side the widescreen offers more of the image on both sides.
But when double checking the TV-version on left, that too had more visual to show. Example here pointing He-Man's teeth for instance.
Also the obvious note is that MYP went back to refine the footage and added more shadows around He-Man's eyes and nose. These changes were
made already for the European TVs. Long before we even heard of the DVD possibilities.
Personally I find it fascinating that both of these versions have something the other doesn't. TV version shows more of He-Man's face from top and bottom, while the DVD version shows more on the sides. Of course it's up to each fan's personal taste which version they prefer.
