If you’re in your mid-to-late 20s like me, there’s no denying how absolutely huge the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were during our childhood. What started as a small, independent comic book ended up becoming one of the most definitive pop culture phenomena of the late-’80s and early-’90s. This year marks the franchise’s 30th anniversary, and while we’ll be getting a brand new live-action/CGI film, some of us prefer more of the old school charm that the Turtles exploited to shape our formative years.

Enter Randall Lobb, writer and director of Turtle Power. The documentary, which is being described as “The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” From what I can garner, Turtle Power is a comprehensive look at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‘ rise in popularity over the past 30 years and its influence on pop culture. Considering that most people will think of the heroes in a half-shell whenever their names are brought up rather than the iconic Renaissance figures that carry their namesakes.

Turtle Power will be available on DVD and VOD on August 12th following Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‘ theatrical release on August 8th.
