Monster Mania is an American animated television series created by Phil Mendez, and inspired by the "Creatures of Delight" toyline. The series aired in first-run syndication in the United States starting in the week of September 11, 1995; and on CITV in the United Kingdom.[1]
26 half-hour episodes were produced throughout 1995 and 1996.[2] a second season was planned to release in fall of 1996, but never came to fruition, possibly due to it averaging just a 1.2 among kids 2-11.[3] and Action Media Group's bankruptcy that year.
