      Turtle craze in the late 90's?
      As I remember, the turtle craze started around 1990, and ended after the abysmal "TMNT III".
      One thing I'm sure of?
      It definitely had ended by the time the original cartoon ended. Well before the late 90's.
      No disrespect... I just think we're talking about two different iterations of the Ninja Turtles.

      I was a kid in the 80's, and a teenager in the (mid) 90's... which I would argue was even better than being a young kid in the 90's.
      Because, as I was a little older, I had been a Turtle fanatic since 1987... and I remember the 90's with more clarity than I remember the 80's. Though I do remember my first cartoon love "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" just as well as I remember the Ninja Turtles.
      I just prefer TMNT!
      Edit: It wasn't until after my 40th birthday when I learned that one of my all time favorite wrestlers (Kevin Nash; aka "Diesel") played the role of "Super Shredder" in "TMNT II; The Secret of the Ooze"!
      Blew my freaking mind when I found out!

    I was a giant TMNT fan in the late 80’s-early 90’s (and still am). I was born in 87.
    Still have a ton of the toys and the movies, the 80’s cartoon on dvd and the comic too. Still, somehow felt gate kept by the “older kids”, and I was too young to be part of that “day one” club, despite being a rabid fan.
    Eventually, when Power Rangers became a thing, I kinda became hyper focused on that franchise instead, but still love TMNT and cannot WAIT for the Cowabunga collection to come out on PS4 and Switch.

      Straight up unprotected chair shots, REAL submissions, and NO PADDING for "bomb" or "drop" maneuvers... just dirt, and sometimes some grass. Of course, this was in the mid 90's, but still...

      @@thisisnotachannel yeah man. when I grew up (born 97, so early 2000s) kindergardens and schools started pushing back against any games that involved the rougher aspects of physical play. (It didn’t work, we had huge turf wars on the playground lol)
      It’s even worse now, I've heard.
      I find that kinda insanse because, yeah: sometimes me and my mates *were* too rough with each other and went too far when playing, but that’s how we learned where the line was drawn.
      Going back to tmnt, It's not uncommon for a show like that to be seen as bad influence because it ”glorifies violence” but kids are pretty chaotic by nature. They're gonna fight with sticks with or without having watched tmnt lol
      I bring this up because I can imagine kids playing tmnt must've freaked parents out back then, which would explain why the 87 show became more goofy after the first 5 episodes.

    I was 6 years old back in 1988 when I first saw the old cartoon show. I got hooked immediately. I soon had all the toys, never missed an episode, made my own nunchucks... I was there for the craze. As I grew older I got into the comics and that's what kept me a fan. First the Mirage run and then Image Comics run by Frank Fosco and Gary Carlson. And I've never stopped being a fan. I'm 40 years old and waiting impatiently for the new game, Shredders Revenge.

    15:00 I was born and raised in St. Louis Park, MN and I bought most of my Turtle figures at that EXACT Target store. Holy Bananas!!! I think it was around the time that the 2nd movie turtles figures were released that Target moved the Turtles merch mostly to the other side of the isle, although I still recall oddball Turtles items still on that same side, like the Leonardo Cave Turtle box set.
    I have a very distinct memory of picking out Genghis Frog but my mom wasn't a fan, so she urged me to instead by Ace Duck. When she wasn't looking I switched the figures and it wasn't until check out that she noticed what I did and she gave me that disappointed mom look. She bought me Genghis Frog regardless.

    With regards to the violence - just talk to your kids.
    I watch the TMNT movie with my nephews (9 and 6), and when the scene with Casey jones came on, and I paused the video.
    I asked "now that the woman has her purse back, do you think you should chase down the bad guys, or call the police"
    They both said "call the police". They can understand that the characters in movies might make bad decisions, and that the movie is a fantasy.
    We also discussed how all the kicking and punching is just dancing. It's all choreographed by actors, and kids get that.

    I was in the middle of the craze in the early 90s.
    In my household, we (my brothers and I) didn't have tons of turtle merchandise. We had action figures, but we only got them for birthdays or xmas. I remember once Xmas, one of my mom's best friends bought us like 4 Casey Jones' 😂😂 Me and my brothers were NOT mad. I think the absolute biggest turtle merchandise we ever acquired was the turtle van, and then the beach cruiser buggy that came out a little later. Never had the blimp. Never had the playset.
    We never BOUGHT a Shredder. But we found one at a playground once. Pretty cool. My brother got Bebop for his birthday. I got Rocksteady for mine. I know that kids today have cool things to check out. But sometimes I wish that I could share with them what the turtle mania was about right as it was started and happening. There was nothing in the world like getting a holographic TMNT sticker out of a quarter machine at the supermarket. Nothing was cooler than TMNT t shirt. I remember my brother had this pink shirt with Michelangelo sitting at a school desk looking sad with a speech bubble that said "When's lunch?". Smh- when the arcade game came out- mama Mia- it was earth moving 😂 -sigh- how we can't appreciate glory while we're standing in it.

      I thought the same. I think it was in jest, but there was certainly a "omg i hate these things" implication there. I liked the creator of the Turtles adding how its the same as the 3 Stooges, the "violence" isnt real.

    I was the right age for Turtle Mania and I had all the figures. When I was 15 I sold them all at a yard sale something I didn't regret until I started collecting figures as an adult. I'm about to turn 40 on Monday and my little sister surprised me with all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie accurate Neca figures as an early birthday present. Six double figure boxes so incredibly detailed, as I sat there just amazed on how awesome they all are I told my sister I'm about to be 40 but you made me feel like I was 7 again and that's the best gift of all.

    TMNT from me is just like Star Wars, DC comics in Ghostbusters, properties I liked as a kid and I’m still a fan of today but even as a kid my brother and I felt like there were some things that they didn’t need to do with the turtles. We were so excited for the third movie and it was the first time my brother and I remember being in a movie theater and asked our dad if we could leave the movie early because it was such a bad movie. It did start to feel like they would try to sell kids a 2 x 4 as long as it had the turtles logo on it at one point. We also remember getting the ninja turtles concert VHS tape for Christmas or something like that and again even as a kid I thought it was terrible. Really ever since the second movie came out I feel like I’ve been waiting for someone to take the turtle seriously again. We live in an age where DC, Marvel and Star Wars are making billions of dollars with movies and television shows people love. I honestly wish Nickelodeon would sell the turtles to somebody else because I don’t think Nickelodeon knows what to do with a comic book property. Do you rebooted movies which we’ve gotten to of, I actually like the first one and I was more excited for the second one because Stephen Amell was going to be Casey Jones and we were finally getting bebop and rocksteady. But that movie made the same mistake with the turtles that started happening Around 1992 and 1993 with the turtles and it felt too tacky and didn’t know if it wanted to be a comic book movie for the entire family like DC and Marvel do or a movie that was targeting five-year-old’s. I know they can make a great turtles movie or a franchise of a series of movies that both kids and adults can enjoy it’s not that hard to do and I really hope we get that eventually because the turtles deserve better than what they’ve been getting the last few years.

    Good documentary! I was in high school when the comics first started showing up in our bookstore's comics section. I loved the juxtaposition of the gritty black and white art style and violent martial arts action with the absurd notion of baby turtles turning into superheroes.
    I'd had a lot of real turtles as pets when I was a kid, so I knew all about them. I'd also been into the ninja craze in the 80's and had always loved comic book superheroes, so the combination of all of that still really appealed to me even though I was about to graduate by the time turtlemania took off.
    I enjoyed the cartoons and color comic books too, not minding the changes from the early comics. It was great to have a new craze to get into. Made me feel like a little kid again.
    The cartoons and videogames were a lot of fun for study breaks in college. We had a Sega Genesis and an SNES in our fraternity house, so we had fun playing those together, especially the fighting games including the TMNT ones. I liked playing as Leonardo best because of his dual katana attacks.
    I'm glad that Nickelodeon and IDW are keeping the TMNT fires burning so todays kids can have fun with what is still one of the best ideas in comic books. It's cool that Kevin Eastman even still collaborates on some of the comics.
