Amazon Hyenas:An idea for a female based TMNT show

I know anyone from the 90's remembers there many shows cashing in on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' popularity.Some of them were good in their own way and others were bleh.However there were not any female based ones and I think maybe to relaunch the genre I think there should be a show centered around female characters.Why hyenas becuase female spotted hyenas tend to be the strongest and I wanted to do it to give them a good name.

Synopsis:Four spotted hyena based alien princesses live on a planet based on the Sarengheti in Eastern Africa where there are two species of sentient creatures living there;one is based on spotted hyenas and the other is based on African lions.These two groups have been at each for centuries.The four titualar characters and a five bad band from the lion people are transported to earth through a mysterious portal.The hyenas end up in the household of an African American inventor named Minerva Smallwood and her daughter Joyce Smallwood in San Jose,California.The lion team ends up with an evil scientist named Leon Rex who used to work under Minerva.

I plan on this show to be like a fantasy kitchen sink like the TMNT show was.I am also think of giving the hyena characters elemental powers.

Are you aware of the sexual biology of spotted hyenas? The choice of them for this project suggests you do, but you didn't outright say that.

Don't worry they would be covered with clothing to hide the fact of their sexual biology.Besides they would be anthromorphic to boot and they is always the case of poetic lincense with art.

There is also the question of how to get a toy contract out of it because TMNT based shows like these tend to thrive on merchandising.I know story has to come first but also the executives being greedy as they sometimes are need this show to sell toys.I was thinking that this show can be marketed towards both genders but I hope it can be geared to girls who really want an action show with female characters in it.

I'm not sure that you're really in a position to be thinking about merchandising contracts and that sort of thing at the moment. You sort of need connections for that, don't you?

Sorry,I was thinking of the possibilities if this thing gets off because for one thing a lot of network shows sometimes will be not interested in a show unless it can attract a lot of money.I won't be doing it for the money but it is a factor to consider.Yeah,note to self find connections to do merchandising.

The only problem I see so far is the Fanservice. Even children's shows have that nowadays, and I know from talking to animators, sometimes they're pressured into putting it in. With anthromorphic hyenas...well, let's just say not everyone is in the Furry Fandom. Which is why I suggest some human male and female side characters like Ms. Fanservice and Mr. Fanservice...just with actual character development and all.

The side human characters for this show is the forty year old inventor who is hot while hitting the big 4-0.Her daughter will be twelve years old so nothing will be of fanservice on her except maybe in one episode where she is transformed into an older version of herself.I also plan on the hyenas having watches which gives them human appearances.

I am also thinking of adding a Japanese character named Ken as a college intern under Minerva who Joyce(the young daughter character) would have a crush on.

The oldest one would have the power of air.-The Leader The second oldest one would have the power of fire.-The Big Guy The second youngest would have the power of water.-The Lancer The youngest would have the power of earth.-The Chick
