Which company created the animation for the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series?

Murakami-Wolf-Swenson created the animation for the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series.

The series was developed by Fred Wolf and produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson, with animation production involving studios in the United States and overseas. Its five-part 1987 miniseries introduced a version of the franchise designed for a broad television audience.

The cartoon softened the darker tone of the original Mirage comics and established many elements that became widely recognized, including colorful masks, distinctive personalities, catchphrases, and a large recurring cast of villains.

Murakami-Wolf-Swenson is easy to confuse with Fred Wolf Films, which was involved in later production work. The show was also associated with Playmates Toys, whose action figures and the television series helped promote one another.
