Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Series
built 227 days ago
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the first theatrical film based on the popular comic book characters of the same name, about a group of crime-fighting reptiles who lived in a sewer. The plot condenses elements from the comic books, combined with the lighter touch of the 1987 animated series.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started out as just plain and ordinary turtles. The early series was really a parody of such comic book titles as Frank Miller’s Daredevil, The New Mutants, Cerebrus, and others of the eighties. As such, they actually came to being when some radioactive material fell of a truck and struck a boy in the face. The canister exploded and then the runoff went into the sewer. This was obviously a parody of the Daredevil origin.

There are currently no reruns of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, at least not in North America. Mirage Studios does not own the rights to the 1987 show, but they own one third of the rights to the 2003 show. Many episodes were released on many VHS tapes from 1988 to 1996 by Family Home Entertainment.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game is a port of the popular arcade game made by Konami during the height of the cartoon series' popularity. Depending on the version of the game, up to two, three or four players can take part in the action. The game plays like a simplified Double Dragon. While most of the standard Foot Soldier enemies are easily dispatched, some attack with knives or ray guns and are ... more dangerous. At the end of each level, players encounter a boss (or in certain cases two bosses working in tandem, such as Bebop and Rocksteady).

If you're in your twenties, you probably remember the golden days of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, not from just the movies, but the preceeding cartoon series and excellent comics as well. Recently the series has been reinvented as a crummy cartoon and ever-increasingly garbage gaming title after gaming title. While the first updated TMNT game showed some promise, any semblance of it has been unfulfilled in this sub-par title.

The Turtles' fourth feature film, entitled simply TMNT, was release on 23 March, 2007 in theaters. Unlike the previous films, it utilizes 100% computer-generated imagery, produced by Imagi Animation Studios and distributed by The Weinstein Company and Warner Bros. Pictures. According to a press release, "the PG-rated movie will derive its tone from the original comic-book series and will be slightly grittier than the previous live-action pictures. The animation will be created in Imagi’s state-of-the-art facility in Hong Kong."[4] The teaser trailer was released July 20, 2006.[5]
