Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A Look Under The Shell
Directed by Randall Lobb
Produced by FauxPop Media, Mirage Studios
A celebratory documentary tracing the unlikely rise of a beloved pop-culture phenomenon from quirky comic-book accident to global franchise juggernaut.
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.
