The Definitive Gremlins Iceberg
The Gremlins media franchise was started by the movie Gremlins, directed by Joe Dante, and released in 1984. Since then, it's spawned one sequel, a cancelled cartoon that was completely lost media for some time, and an animated television show!
While Gremlins has waned in popularity throughout the years, there's still a strong fandom. This Iceberg is meant to catalogue EVERY SINGLE thing relating to the Gremlins franchise, I mean absolutely EVERYTHING, no matter how strange, obscure or common it may be.
