Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (MMPR) is an American superhero television series that premiered on August 28, 1993, on the Fox Kids programming block. It is the first entry of the Power Rangers franchise, and became a 1990s pop culture phenomenon along with a large line of toys, action figures, and other merchandise. The show adapted stock footage from Japanese television series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (1992–1993), which was the 16th installment of Toei's Super Sentai franchise. The second and third seasons of the show drew elements and stock footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, respectively, though the Zyuranger costumes were still used for the lead cast. The series was produced and distributed by Saban Entertainment, while the show's toy line was produced and distributed by Bandai.

It was followed in 1996 by a mini-series titled Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers. While a global storyline would continue in Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers in Space, and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, the subsequent seasons of the Power Rangers series would not be sequels or spin-offs in the traditional sense, having self-contained plots with no strong connection with the original series (except taking place in the same universe, not being reboots). However, cast members and elements from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers would still be present on several iterations of the franchise, most notably, Jason David Frank reprising his role of Tommy Oliver in Power Rangers Dino Thunder.

The original series also spawned the feature film Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, released by 20th Century Fox on June 30, 1995. Despite mixed reviews, it was a success at the box office and earned a cult following. A second film titled Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie was released in 1997.

In 2017, a feature film simply titled Power Rangers was released, serving as a reboot for the television series. Due to both the film's financial failure and Hasbro's acquisition of the franchise in 2018, another reboot is in development.

A television special titled Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always commemorated the 30th anniversary of the series and premiered on Netflix on April 19, 2023, with returning cast members David Yost, Walter Emanuel Jones, Steve Cardenas, Johnny Yong Bosch, Karan Ashley, Catherine Sutherland, Barbara Goodson, and Richard Steven Horvitz who reprised their roles. Charlie Kersh portrayed Minh, the daughter of Trini Kwan and the third Yellow Ranger.
