After the hype had died down, the TV series was rebooted in 2003, with a fourth film released in 2007. The Ninja Turtles dominated the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, with hundreds of toys, multiple comic books, and three feature films. However, they became one of the largest kids franchises of the decade with the insane popularity of their Saturday morning cartoon show. The TMNT were originally created as a satire on the dark and gritty superhero comic books of the ‘80s. Turtle Power! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman in 1984, have brought joy to fans across three decades.
