My buddy's 4 year old is hooked on the newest versions of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". I've ended up watching so many episodes of it with him now that I'm hooked on it too! Great animation, compelling characters and good drama...and it's for kids!
The popularity of it has grown so much that there will be a new, computer animated theatrical feature film released next March 30, 2007.
I remember being a kid just entering high school when the original black & white comic book came out. When I heard the title I thought, "What kind of stupid idea is that? That'll never last.".
20 years, 3 feature films, 4 or 5 comic titles, 2 aminated cartoon shows and millions and millions of merchandising dollars later...
..hey, who knew???
P.S. I also have the DVD release of Pam Anderson's "Stripperella"...lol. Just love it!
