That 9yo girl would be thrilled to know she grew up to officially work on the property. Thanks to Nickelodeon/Viacom and IDW for the opportunities. #TMNT pic.twitter.com/TOAF07NZU1

Pizza dude's got thirty seconds
prevnextThis importance of this scene with the two of them in the moonlight is overlooked. They are the comic relief, but Donatello reaches out to Michelangelo to discuss something serious (the inevitability of losing Splinter), and Mikey dodges the question. It's too hard to talk about. pic.twitter.com/FK9S6mFgZc

Not a day!
prevnextSaw it in the theaters opening weekend! I can't believe that was three decades ago. Sigh. And they don't seem to have aged a day. Maybe because "Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles" doesn't really have the same ring to it. pic.twitter.com/Kgs4NYFwtG

The GOAT
prevnext30 years ago today, the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was released in theaters. Fantastic practical effects, puppets & fight choreography. Great April O’Neil & Casey Jones in Judith Hoag & Elias Koteas. One of the best comic book films of all time. pic.twitter.com/1VzihFwDnI

Indie Darling: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
prevnextAs every major studio passed on the idea at first, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was technically an independent production which was eventually released by upstart New Line Cinema. Grossing $201 million worldwide, TMNT was the most successful indie movie ever for nearly a decade.
