Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles

I watched this almost all the time when I was a kid. Seeing the Foot Soldiers, Krang, Shredder, and everyone else was great. I can still picture it all. Too bad that it isn't airing anymore. At least videos are made, so you can enjoy the turtles all over again.

Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles is something I will never forget because it touched me in a way no other series did when I was a kid. The Ninja Turtles were fun loving, pizza eating and ninja fighters. And they taught kids lessons along the way. What more can you ask for. Oh yeah, the next best thing.

This is the animated series that changed me forever!!! I was obsessed with the turtles because of this excellent series & I'm still a huge life long fan now at 35yrs old. I collected all the awesome action figures & loved the movies well 1&2 anyway & this animated series that i watched constantly i still remember turtle Tuesdays on one of our sky/NyNex channels when i was little it was great fun.

I love the tmnt they are my childhood heroe's just like the Ghostbusters too can't forget those with their real Ghostbusters series & both films. Raphael was always my favourite turtle & still is now i even have his face tattooed in my arm.

The tmnt were special to us growing up when young as they taught us right from wrong & what being a hero was all about. The tmnt & master splinter taught me respect & it's ok to be different & too stand up for yourself i mean these mutants ment so much to us 80's & 90's kids. The tmnt are still my favourite comic book super heroes of all time!!! Forget Batman or superman my heroes are green.

The 1990 movie is a cult classic & still one of the greatest comic book films ever MADE!!! My personal favourite.

Although often the animated series was goofy & silly fun it still had alot of serious issues like street crime & gangs of thugs & crime & vigilantes (the excellent Casey Jones) & we had the BRILLIANT Shredder voiced by the legendary James Avery R.I.P who also played the great uncle Phil in Fresh Prince of bel air also a brilliant t.v series.

I will forever be grateful the tmnt existed & i grew up in the best era when everyone was turtle mad & they ruled so big it was a tmnt phenomenon at that time late 80's-early 90's & i was right there in the middle of it like i was with the real Ghostbusters craze & the Power Rangers craze.

LOVELY nostalgic memories of a great lost era & a brilliant ground-breaking animated series phenomenon.

TMNT was the first animated adaptation from the dark parody comic by Kevin Eastman. It is focused in children and adults that want to have fun watching delicious adventures of 4 mutant ninja turtles, against alien forces and other ninjas, with epic soundtrack and awesome lines such as "wake up and smell the pizzas".

This last until the 7th season, because seasons 8-10 are a mess, trying to replicate the darkness and edgyness of other famous animated series in '90s, such as Batman and Gargoyles.

If you want something more adult, the next adaptations will be more to your liking. But TMNT '87 will always be the best pizza.

I loved this show when I was a child! I was such a fan of it back then that I wouldn't miss one episode of it. Plus, I collected stuff from it. For example, as a kid I once bought a mug with the famous hero turtles. And there was one year when I disguised myself as one of the turtles in Carnival. Not to mention that not only I watched this in my house, but also in the house of a neighbor and friend of mine at the time.

This animated TV show brings me very good memories from childhood. Ah, the good old days...

The opening song is spectacular, absolutely unforgettable - as well as its instrumental version which plays during the final credits of each episode.

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' had most ingredients necessary to capture the attention of most kids of my generation, for it was thrilling, entertaining, packed with action, adventure, darkness, classic humor and... pizza! The turtles are the heroes, they are the ones with the power to save the world from the evil Shredder's schemes and the bizarre Krang. Shredder has two helpers, Bebop and Rocksteady (hilarious names!). But they aren't really evil. They're more stupid and incompetent than evil, so they aren't a major threat for the turtles and the world.

A curious thing is that Shredder has always half of his face covered with an iron mask. I only saw him once without it and my opinion was that he was very Japanese-looking.

Although the turtles (Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo) are very efficient and intelligent, sometimes they see themselves in sticky situations with the villain Shredder. But they always can count with the help of Master Splinter and reporter April O'Neil.

Cowabunga!
