A whole Hollywood horror Sci Fi franchise has come out of the toys G.I. JOE & TRANSFORMERS. I like some of the Anime tales, like COWBOY BEBOP, but most of it is crude & silly. Like your twist of the prompt though.

lol. but the TMNT are so entertaining…and that it plays on a common household pet, it is all the more real for kids….

ha – japan certainly has their own big fable pool – some of those are quite cool… some frightening…some need a bit of explanation for our western ears – i have a colleague at work who lived in japan for some years…
