	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) are a fictional group of four anthropomorphic turtle brothers, who, as one might infer from the name, are also teenagers, mutants and ninjas.
		While the comic was meant for an older audience, the cartoon was standard children's fare and typically avoided overt human violence and any semblance of real conflict.
		A fifth turtle was introduced, a female named "Venus de Milo" who was skilled in the mystical arts of the shinobi, and the series took place generally after the storyline of the 1987 cartoon series, as Shredder had been defeated and the Ninja Turtles had new villains.

		Sea turtles grow to large sizes and live in the oceans in the temperate and tropical regions of the earth.
		Turtles are the only surviving branch of the even more ancient clade Anapsida, which includes groups such as the procolophonoids, millerettids and pareiasaurs.
		Turtles are depicted in Western culture as, snapping turtles aside, an easygoing and patient creature.

	‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ (PG)
		From their origins in 1984 in a daffy fl-and-white comic book to 1988's television cartoon series, from action figures to today's unveiling of a multimillion-dollar live-action feature film, the TMNT phenomenon has grown progressively bigger -- much like the TMNTs themselves -- albeit without the benefit of radioactive ooze.
		The makers of the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" undoubtedly envision it as another "Batman," and a similar hype machine is already in place (Entertainment Weekly counts 600 TMNT products currently on the market).
		Splinter was once pet to a martial arts master, while the pet-shop turtles were dumped down a manhole and into a sewer, where they landed in the radioactive sludge that made them grow human-sized and upright, and gave them the gift of gab.

		The Ninja Master (called Splinter) has trained these four teenage animals (named after his 4 favorite Renaissance artists - Michaeangelo; Leonardo; Donatello; and Raphael.) in the art of Ninjitsu and they use their skills to combat evil as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
		The book had a cult following and in 1986 somebody decided a toy-line and cartoon (which would be more kid friendly then the edgier and serious fl and white comic book from which they sprung) would be a perfect way to flesh them out.
		The turtles were wacky, practically comical in their attitude (complete with surfer jargon, and a love for pizza and partying) and this made them a huge success throughout the late 80's and early 90's.

		Turtles are reptiles of the order Chelonia, most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilagenous shell developed from their ribs.
		Turtles have a gelatinous substance in their upper and lower shell, called calipash and calipee respectively, the calipash being of a dull greenish and the calipee of a light yellow color.
		Turtles are depicted in Western culture as, snapping turtles aside, easygoing and patient creatures.

	The Bad Fads Museum - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
		Taken under the wing of the venerable sage Splinter (a rat who had undergone the same transformation and was trained by a master ninja warrior), the foursome used their unique abilities and training to fight against criminals, while always looking for teenage fun and frivolity.
		By 1990, the cartoon appeared each day on more than 125 television stations, the movies were hits at the box office, and the comic book was selling at a rate of 125,000 each month, making it the most successful fl and white comic book in history.
		While the turtles have not quite disappeared, they suffered from oversaturation and from the usual coming of other fads to take their place.

		Of course the comic book violence would be toned down for the cartoon, but there was plenty of room left for the action and humor that helped the Ninja Turtles achieve their popularity.
		Regardless, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have made a significant mark on popular culture and it is wonderful to see a second volume of the original series available on DVD.
		The unlawful activities of the frogs, who are mistaken for turtles, causes a public outcry and the city forms a SWAT team called the Anti-Turtle Squad to deal with the menace.

	Origin
		Their names, unknown then, but recognized today by toy and comic book fans the world over, were Peter A. Laird and Kevin B. Eastman.
		Although the cover had the amazing range of three colors--red, fl, and white--the traditionally full-color interiors of a comic book were replaced by stark fl and white imagery on cheap newsprint.

		The Turtles inspect a suspicious 'Ninja Pizza House' after finding a matchbook at the scene of the earlier crime, and the Shredder, using his mystical video equipment that shows him everything from sewers to pizza houses to your bathroom, monitors their every move.
		The Turtles also notice the weird guy on the video wall, but they have no idea that they'll be fighting him every day of their lives for the next seven years.
		The Turtles make their way into the Technodrome to save Splinter, and in an extended action sequence, defeat a horde of weird androids that range from 2' tall to 20' tall with spider legs.

	DVD Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Original) - DVDtoons! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The turtles’ appeal came from their humorous and good-natured comments about the world of superheroes and their approach to crime fighting.
		During that time, the turtles’ popularity thrived and they even made their big screen debut in 1990 in the highly popular live-action movie that became a blockbuster.
		The first episode introduces the main characters (the turtles, April, Yoshi, and Shredder), the second introduces the sidekicks (Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady), the third introduces some important future characters (Baxter, the mousers), and the fourth introduces the concept of Dimension X (Krang’s army, the Neutrinos), all leading to the thrilling finale in the fifth episode.

		I recently bought an old VHS copy of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie" and I must say that this movie is still great even after 14 years.
		That's good considering it also faced heavy competition from another comic book adaptation that year, "Dick Tracy," which was directed by Warren Beatty and was quite groundbreaking, on its own terms of course.
		One particularly big difference between the comics and the film is that the literary source material is quite violent (and not to mention very bloody in some spots).

		As my memory serves me, Cowlick took the turtles to some kind of alien gladiator ring (comic book cliche #1142), and now has them hopping dimensions in their efforts to try and find a way home.
		Sure, the turtles look like wax candles that were left on the dashboard of a fl minivan in the middle of August, but April O'Neill is in this one, sporting a rather daring brown safari-shirt and hotpants number.
		The turtles rush to his rescue, somehow believing the 4 of them could hall 50' of mutated elephant giant out of the water.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
		The Turtles are Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello.
		Turning the concept into an actual comic book story involved considerably more effort than simply dreaming up the name and situation — and, since it didn't seem the sort of thing Marvel or DC would go for, getting the comic published took more effort yet.
		In 1988, Archie Comics licensed the TV version, giving fans a second track of Turtles stories in comics — Mirage Press continued to publish them in fl and white for a mostly-adult audience, while Archie did them in color, aimed at kids.

	Random Acts of Nerdness: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Revisited
		TMNT was a big hit in the late eighties and early nineties, spawning cartoons, movies, action figures, countless novelties, (ironically) comic books, and a generation of children who have had the thoughts of ninjas etched in their brains for the rest of their lives.
		The finally nagging tidbit I noticed after watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is how hot April O’Neil is. I mean, she always wears that form-fitting yellow suit, and her character design is busty and drawn to give her a flirtatious appearance.
		Even the Turtles notice this in the costume party episode, where April dresses up and all of them start drooling over her like hormone-crazed teenagers, which I suppose they are.

		Maybe people don't even remember that the words "Teenage," "Mutant," "Ninja," and "Turtle" are funny.
		The graphics on the game are good, you can visually tell the Turtles apart, which is more than I could say for the movie.
		Of course, I couldn't tell their abilities apart (one of them had a bigger stick but whether that matters or not, I've been told, is a question of taste).

		It's a children's movie, and rather dumb, and the exaggeratedly teenage dialog is bad, and the rubber turtle suits are also bad.
		The story premise is beyond preposterous, but that was part of the charm of the original comic: it used the most absurd premise as a basis for action/adventure stories that took themselves completely seriously.
		The turtles make like Wolverine and try to investigate the dark secrets behind their creation.

		Of course the Turtles began as a phenomenally successful Nintendo video game, so it was a given that the movie would be a hit with its target audience of rabid young video addicts.
		This is what comic books fans call "the origin story," in which we learn how a foursome of small turtles were mutated by a green radioactive goo and turned into human-sized turtle crime fighters.
		This live-action film version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is more like the satiric fl-and-white comic book by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird from the early '80s than the wildly popular syndicated cartoon show, which broadened the humor from the original's dark tone.

		Yes, the original Turtles, not the ones from the overly obnoxious, product-oriented cartoon series.
		The story begins almost exactly like the original series with the Turtles confronted by some gang, this time, The Madhattan Maulitia, who misidentify them as something other than Turtles, upon which, Leonardo states they are wrong, and the Turtles charge in a two-page splash.
