War For The TV Toon Empire is here!
Rise and Fall of the 80s Toon Empire was just the beginning. After the toon crash of the 1980s, the rise of the new order began: The Disney Afternoon, Fox Kids and Warner Bros. Television Animation. But who would come out on top – the powerhouse Disney with its seemingly unbeatable slate of cartoons, or would Fox and Warners team up to challenge the Mouse House?
My new book War For The TV Toon Empire continues the history of first-run syndicated cartoons on American television. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. DuckTales. Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. TaleSpin. Darkwing Duck. Goof Troop. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Tiny Toon Adventures. Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Peter Pan and the Pirates. Denver: The Last Dinosaur. Beetlejuice. Batman: The Animated Series. All cartoons that helped define the dawn of the 1990s decade. You will not only learn the fascinating stories behind these shows, but you'll also get many quotes from industry players who helped to reshape the weekday animated market going into the '90s.
War For The TV Toon Empire is currently available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle.
