This led to a short, animated series in 1987.And the goal of this cartoon show was to launch the brand new toy line. And this led to one of the biggest toy booms in history.Today, we not only look at the launch of the toys, and the continued success of the cartoon--but how Turtlemania took the world by storm.And this all leads to one of the best comic adaptions of all time: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie.Enjoy this early and ad-free look at episode two of my two-part podcast all about one of the most successful pop culture franchises in history.
