Pangea Corporation


Pangea Corporation is an entertainment development and creative services company that specializes in the animation and toy industries. The company was part of the original creative team that launched the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" for Playmates Toys and Murakami-Wolf-Swenson, the animation concern behind the property.

In the early 1990s, Pangea kept pace with trends and launched a business-to-business platform called Toy Network, which was purchased by an internet IPO company, Internos. Toy Network had gained prominence as a child-centered service on Apple's eWorld and America Online. As content providers and programmers for the kids channel, the company continued to grow with new technologies and helped develop a series of virtual pets, Nano for Playmates Toys and Tamagotchi for Bandai America. They also provided scripting and programming solutions for the innovative and interactive line of "Amazing" dolls from Playmates, and products from a variety of other manufacturers, including Brian the Brain, Yano, and Wittley. Additionally, because the company was on the leading edge of technology and internet solutions, they set up some of the first ever websites for the toy industry, including megalithic domains for Bandai America, Speed Racer and Whac-A-Mole. During this period, Pangea also produced a radio program on the national kids radio network, Radio Aahs.

After a two-year development deal with Dic Enterprises, where then CEO Andy Heyward, declared Pangea the "core development team" for DIC, Pangea's reputation in the animation industry grew further, having been lauded by their work on the seminal and creatively humorous "Ninja Turtles." Their list of credits ranged from the sublime "The Brotherhood" to the exploitive "New Kids on the Block."
