TOY TOONS MONTH

            With the new My Little Pony Equestria Girls movie debuting on television this month, and the Jemand the Holograms movie hitting  theaters next month, what better time to have a month dedicated to Saturday morning shows based on toys?

Strawberry Shortcake.

            Not content to merely advertise their products, toy manufacturers have often partnered up with production companies to bring their products to life and present them to a new audience. Of course, rival companies and parent groups would tend to get the FCC involved and have injunctions created against such a practice. Either part of a program would need to be registered as a commercial for the product, or no commercials for the related products could be shown during the program. But, whatever the hoops they had to jump through, toy companies inevitably got their products on the air.

            So crack open the toy box and get your imaginations started: it’s Toy Toons month on Saturday Mornings Forever!
