The story of the turtles that deserves to be told. An indie comic becomes a phenomenon
Enlightening for someone who grew up with the original series and films. Quite the story for what really is a unique property.
While the turtles aren't exactly my favourite characters, it was interesting to hear about their genesis and rise in popularity.
From dark satire to child craze, this story tells what inspired TMNT and how it became a staple in 90s culture
The history of the fighting foursome!!! Turtle Power!!
These weirdos truly had a blast taking over 90s culture from their Connecticut fake comic studio.
Indie doc send up to one of the best 80s franchise’s still going strong today
Great story about two guys who wrote an independent comic that turned into a global phenomenon. A must-see for any person who's been a fan.
If you Love the tmnt then this is obviously for fans of He-Man
A very fun look at the creation and history of an unlikely pop-cultural icon

In the spring of 1984, a strange new comic book sat beside cash registers in select shops, too big to fit in the racks, and too weird to ignore. Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles presented a completely original breed of super hero. It was too bizarre, too crazy. It broke all the rules and should never have worked. Until it sold out. Again and again and again. For 30 years. Now, peek under the shell and see how this so-called "happy accident" defied every naysayer to become one of the most popular and beloved franchises in the world.
