Even in 2024, I would rather a live action TMNT movie akin to the 1990s version rather than the 100% CGI version

Exactly. It isn't full on goofy like some people make it out to be. Just like the 80's cartoon, it has serious moments and can be taken seriously. That's what annoyed me about the CG Nickelodeon TMNT when they had cross overs with the original 80's Turtles and exaggerated them. They made them out to be full on goofy, making the 80's cartoon itself look incompetent. Absolutely disrespectful. If it wasn't for the success of the original cartoon, they probably wouldn't have made other shows based on the comic.

By far the best TMNT movie. The effects are outstanding, allowing so much emotion and life to the characters, and all practical. Add to that the darker tone, and the great stunt work, and it's like the book characters just came to life on the screen. You can do whatever you want with digital effects and it doesn't hold a candle to seeing physical turtles (and Shredder) come to life.

What is interesting about this film is that most of its source material came from how the original comic book was actually portrayed as. While at the same time it also incorporates some of the ideas from the cartoon to make at least a little bit more lighthearted than the Grim and dark variation that East and Westman had done with their story

@KasumiKenshirou18 күн бұрын
A bit of a twist on Henson's perceptions; according to Brian Jay Jones who wrote the most recent Jim Henson biography, Henson wasn't a fan of the comics, but thought the idea was a good project for his "Creature Shop" (who had taken a hit financially due to LABYRINTH's failure). The first TMNT movie actually premiered a month before Henson passed away and apparently, he got a kick out of seeing the huge lines waiting to see it saying, "Guess they liked it." It was the last success he ever saw, as THE WITCHES was an unpleasant experience. Author Roald Dahl was constantly sending complaints to Henson about the inaccuracies of the film from his novel (and apparently, Dahl himself even picketed his protests at the premiere).

No, I noticed the recasting and other kids definitely noticed, too. I used to get a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles magazine, which had a letters column. One of the kids wrote that he liked the new April actress better because the old one had a "squeezed up nose". I only remember that decades later because I thought it was weird: not only that the kid wrote this, but that the magazine printed it. Also, you accidentally wrote "Yurtles" several times. And it's "Raph", not "Raf".

Mikey going crazy in the barn was a favorite scene in the original comic book and, in my mind, showcased a small piece of what he would later become. I always thought he got the short end of the stick. Made up for it, in the end, I would say. Anywho: nice work, Minty. This movie enabled my first ever day of off-site school skipping. I was in 7th grade and went to the morning matinee showing of TMNT after calling myself in sick. 13yrs old. Not bad. I still have all of my original TMNT comics from the 80s and early 90s. I love them dearly. Of my collection, I'll likely never sell my Turtles or my Sandman.

The dark tone was more in line with the original black and white comics, which were written for adults... and is a tone which I actually prefer over the zaniness of the kids cartoon (of which I was a huge fan)... even though I was 10 when the movie released... but I didn't mind Krang and the Technodrome not being there... I liked the movie being more grounded in reality, I really liked the addition of Tatsu, and I love the gritty aesthetic. Not to mention that I was born and raised in NY... so it spoke to me on several different levels. I also prefer the original comics version of the Oroku Saki/Hamato Yoshi origin story... the one they used in the movie.
@thisisnotachannel18 күн бұрын
The Shredder / Splinter origin was SLIGHTY condensed from the comic version. Originally, it was Oroku Saki's BROTHER, Oroku Nagi, who attacked Tang Shen and was killed by Hamato Yoshi. Oroku Saki then kills Yoshi in revenge for the killing of his brother.

It's not that the UK had a problem with nunchucks, it's that nunchucks are illegal to even own in the United Kingdom. All of the other weapons used the Turtles weren't actually illegal to own at the time the film was released in the UK. I remember when I watched it for the first time on VHS, Mikey didn't seem to get much action. Only when I came to watch my blu ray a few years ago, he was in the film a lot more using his nunchucks in fight scenes.

This movie found the perfect balance between serious and silly that TMNT needed.
Exactly. It isn't full on goofy like some people make it out to be. Just like the 80's cartoon, it has serious moments and can be taken seriously. That's what annoyed me about the CG Nickelodeon TMNT when they had cross overs with the original 80's Turtles and exaggerated them. They made them out to be full on goofy, making the 80's cartoon itself look incompetent. Absolutely disrespectful. If it wasn't for the success of the original cartoon, they probably wouldn't have made other shows based on the comic.
Definitely. I watched this as a kid and enjoyed it just because it was ninja turtles and i’ve watched it as an adult and love the darker theme of it.
It was like the cartoon. The comics that predate the cartoon are deadly serious.
It’s quite literally a perfect film

By far the best TMNT movie. The effects are outstanding, allowing so much emotion and life to the characters, and all practical.

You can do whatever you want with digital effects and it doesn't hold a candle to seeing physical turtles (and Shredder) come to life.

What is interesting about this film is that most of its source material came from how the original comic book was actually portrayed as. While at the same time it also incorporates some of the ideas from the cartoon to make at least a little bit more lighthearted than the Grim and dark variation that East and Westman had done with their story
The whole theatre gasped at so many parts. I was only 4, but damn it was awesome
The TMNT creators are Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. A place called "East Lairdman Island" is mentioned in the movie, which was named after them.
A bit of a twist on Henson's perceptions; according to Brian Jay Jones who wrote the most recent Jim Henson biography, Henson wasn't a fan of the comics, but thought the idea was a good project for his "Creature Shop" (who had taken a hit financially due to LABYRINTH's failure). The first TMNT movie actually premiered a month before Henson passed away and apparently, he got a kick out of seeing the huge lines waiting to see it saying, "Guess they liked it." It was the last success he ever saw, as THE WITCHES was an unpleasant experience. Author Roald Dahl was constantly sending complaints to Henson about the inaccuracies of the film from his novel (and apparently, Dahl himself even picketed his protests at the premiere).
Dahl has always been uptight about the way his work has been adapted. His hatred for Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory is well documented.
@@RyanofAndor True; WILLY WONKA is the exception where he was the original screenwriter and when he left, his script was rewritten, but his credit is still as the only credited screenwriter
@@van8ryanAnd to be fair, his anger is justified. The rewritten parts of Willy Wonka, at least to me, just don’t work. I feel like the flaws of the film wouldn’t be so detrimental if David Wolper would’ve just kept Dahl on as the SOLE screenwriter.
Splinter was voiced by the same man who also voiced Elmo. Still blows my mind.
One of my favorite mivies ❤
These first Turtle movies are the reason I was VERY excited when I heard Jim Henson Creature Shop was going to be working on the Five Nights at Freddy's movie. I watched these all the time as a kid. (Except the third one, but I still liked it.)
i appreciate the use of the TMNT video game music!
I worked with a teacher whose brother wrote this film. She was one of the coolest people I worked with.
That time April O'Neil was recast and none of us noticed. Also, if you were a kid in the 90's, it wasn't EVER "TMNT". It was "Turtles", we watched Yurtles, we played Yurtles on the playground (I was always Raf), we had Turtles themed birthday parties and Valentines and lunchboxes. It was turtles!
No, I noticed the recasting and other kids definitely noticed, too. I used to get a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles magazine, which had a letters column. One of the kids wrote that he liked the new April actress better because the old one had a "squeezed up nose". I only remember that decades later because I thought it was weird: not only that the kid wrote this, but that the magazine printed it. Also, you accidentally wrote "Yurtles" several times. And it's "Raph", not "Raf".
We ALL noticed, and no one liked it.
Yes and some of us have “Coming Out of Our Shells” as the first “concert” we dragged our parents to 😂 Nope it wasn’t Michael Jackson or even New Kids On The Block, it was that god awful turtles stage show for me.

I am so very much looking forward to the R rated Last Ronin movie. I always wanted the deleted training scenes from the farm to be added back in. Mikey going crazy in the barn was a favorite scene in the original comic book and, in my mind, showcased a small piece of what he would later become. I always thought he got the short end of the stick. Made up for it, in the end, I would say. Anywho: nice work, Minty. This movie enabled my first ever day of off-site school skipping. I was in 7th grade and went to the morning matinee showing of TMNT after calling myself in sick. 13yrs old. Not bad. I still have all of my original TMNT comics from the 80s and early 90s.

@@nsasupporter7557 The second movie, while not as good as the first, is still a lot of fun. I think of it as the perfect movie to play in the background at a pizza party.
@@JanetStarChild that’s because it was Jim Henson’s company that made the costumes for the second movie also
The dark tone was more in line with the original black and white comics, which were written for adults... and is a tone which I actually prefer over the zaniness of the kids cartoon (of which I was a huge fan)... even though I was 10 when the movie released... but I didn't mind Krang and the Technodrome not being there... I liked the movie being more grounded in reality, I really liked the addition of Tatsu, and I love the gritty aesthetic. Not to mention that I was born and raised in NY... so it spoke to me on several different levels. I also prefer the original comics version of the Oroku Saki/Hamato Yoshi origin story... the one they used in the movie.
The Shredder / Splinter origin was SLIGHTY condensed from the comic version. Originally, it was Oroku Saki's BROTHER, Oroku Nagi, who attacked Tang Shen and was killed by Hamato Yoshi. Oroku Saki then kills Yoshi in revenge for the killing of his brother.
Loved this movie when I was a kid. The toys were some of my favorite action figures.
Saw this movie in the theater with my mom on a Thursday afternoon. Had the whole theater to ourselves. Can't describe how awesome it was, still my best movie experience of all time
As a kid from Buffalo there was a rumor that the guy that did the voice for Raphael was from here and we all tried figuring out who it was. When we saw a guy driving a Lamborghini we were convinced we found the guy…..yeah it wasn’t him😔
Nothing like the back stories kids come up with for strangers
But where else would someone get a Lambo? I still think it might have been Raph.
@@williamdixon-gk2sk I like the way you think😎
@@bassman8144 I friend of mine that poses the theory that anytime she see's a Limousine Bill Murray is inside. So, i propose that whenever we spy a Lambo it is being driven by Raphael himself; Josh Pais.
@@williamdixon-gk2sk im keeping my peepers open!!
Mivie lol
Been waiting for this one! Thanks, Minty!💪🏾
Nice touch on adding the video game music in the background... your attention to detail on these videos is always so great!!!
Where the heck is the 4k Blu-ray for TMNT (1990)?
It's not that the UK had a problem with nunchucks, it's that nunchucks are illegal to even own in the United Kingdom. All of the other weapons used the Turtles weren't actually illegal to own at the time the film was released in the UK. I remember when I watched it for the first time on VHS, Mikey didn't seem to get much action. Only when I came to watch my blu ray a few years ago, he was in the film a lot more using his nunchucks in fight scenes.
But they are chopsticks just joined together for ease of storage... ( seen on a Jackie Chan movie, don't know which one )
Nunchucks were actually illegal in New York at this time, too. (Most US states allowed them, but KIDS weren't allowed to purchase them, only adults.) It was only in this millennium that the ban was lifted in New York. I always assumed nunchucks were a problem in the UK because it was something that kids could create on their own and easily imitate. But I don't know what the heck they couldn't use the word "ninja".
@@alanhilder1883 They're not chopsticks. The pieces of wood are much larger than chopsticks.
@@KasumiKenshirou I can explain the 'ninja' issue because I saw it happen in real time back in the day. In the UK, there was a huge campaign led by parents to actually get TMNT banned in the UK altogether. It was a huge deal. Parents here were up in arms. The only way they could appease the mob was to drop the word 'ninja' in favour of 'hero'. The word 'hero' sounded friendly and not violent and that's how they got around it. The mob thought they won, but they didn't really.
@@KasumiKenshirou It was a movie reference, as I wrote.
This film was absolute gold for 9-year old me. :)
Love these types of mivies
Wayne Gretzky.. On steroids!?
I haven’t had anchovies on my pizza yet, have you?
Yes. Lots of Italians love anchovies. They're salty, that's about it. No fish taste. I can see why most people think they're nasty. Kinda looks like a squashed bug on your pizza 😆👍
I was born in 1990. Proud to say I watched this, Batman Returns, and Waynes World soany times the tape in the VHS snapped!
That’s very interesting you definitely caught the tails end of the this time. Because DVDs where a thing by the time you where old enough to watch and remember anything.
@@cliffchampion5501 I remember things starting at about 4 years old. I also remember not getting DVDs until the PlayStation 2 came out when I was like 11 or 12. But I still collected VHS for a few years there until they stopped carrying them.
11:01 ...That is such an adorable photo! I love the expression on Leonardo; he looks so sweet.
What's a mivie?
