* TheyDo: Casey and April in various media, most notably the 2003 cartoon.

* ''Operation Blue Line'' (1990) was a promotional video released by Family Home Entertainment and sponsored by the Regional Transportation District to let kids know about alternative travel methods such as railroads.

* '''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 The first cartoon]]''' (1987-1996): Commonly called the "1987 series" after its premier year. Resemblances to its source material are mostly superficial. The first cartoon featuring the turtles proved even more popular than the comics (and it definitely remains the best-known TMNT incarnation among the general public), thanks to the [[AdaptationDistillation distillation]][=/=]{{flanderization}} of the four turtles to easily identifiable character types; the [[CanonForeigner addition]] of villains Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady; the promotion of the Shredder from one-shot baddie to ArchEnemy; gleeful breaking of the fourth wall; the addition of a TrademarkFavoriteFood (pizza) and a CatchPhrase ("Cowabunga!", although there were others), and a general LighterAndSofter comedic bent (for instance, Hamato Yoshi isn't murdered; he instead [[CompositeCharacter becomes]] Splinter). The series ended in 1996, after ten seasons, 194 episodes, and one retool nicknamed the "Red Sky" period by fans, which attempted to make the series more dramatic in the wake of more serious cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.

A two-episode OVA which adapts (very freely) the Turtles into Japanese anime format, although they're mainly [[MerchandiseDriven thinly-veiled ads]] for Takara's Japanese version of the ''Turtles'' toyline. Among the changes made, the turtles have the power to transform into "Super Turtles" for about three minutes, have an animal-themed armor each (like in ''Manga/SaintSeiya'') and can fuse together to form the "Saint Turtle". Besides that, the bad guys also have transforming powers, and Shredder turns into a Dragon.
