Description:  The Teen Wolf cartoon is a 1986 animated series based on the live-action movie, following Scott Howard, a teenager who is part of a family of werewolves. The show focuses on Scott's attempts to navigate high school life while managing his werewolf tendencies, with the help of his best friend Stiles and a few other friends. The series adds new characters and a changed setting to the original story, with a younger sister named Lupe and the town renamed Wolverton.

Plot: The cartoon follows Scott Howard, a seemingly normal teenager who, along with his family, is secretly a werewolf. His friends, including his best friend Stiles, are aware of his secret, and the show depicts his daily struggles with his supernatural condition.

Key characters: Scott Howard: The main character, a teenage werewolf trying to fit in. Stiles: Scott's loyal best friend. Boof: Scott's tomboyish love interest. Lupe: A new character, Scott's younger sister, who was not in the movie. Mick: A jock who attends the same high school as Scott in the cartoon, unlike in the film.

Changes from the movie: Scott's supernatural status is kept secret from the public, unlike in the movie where it was public knowledge. The town is renamed "Wolverton" instead of "Beacontown". Scott has a younger sister named Lupe. Mick, a rival character in the movie, attends the same high school as Scott in the series.

Themes: The series touches on themes of coming-of-age and fitting in, but it also uses the werewolf transformations as a metaphor for conditions like asthma attacks or seizures, with a powerful critique of disability-as-civil rights.
