They do this more because they a) fancy her and b) like a good fight, rather from any deep-seated sense of right and wrong. New York City is in the grip of Shredder's Fagin-style crime wave and the Turtles interrupt his progress by saving April O'Neill, a perpetually if impractically mini-skirted TV reporter, from a mugging. Devoid of the cartoon's gadgetry - flying cars and the like - they're afforded recognisable and very individual characters, thus providing through their interplay a platform for the snappy, bickering, fully grown-up humour the originators bestowed on their streetwise creations.
And the biggest, most enjoyable difference of all is the foursome themselves. Struck out by the BBC (along with a fair amount of the TV series' original martial artistry) in favour of Hero, it's re-inserted here in a film that stays the course of Laird and Eastman's original comic while the amphibians themselves, vastly simplified by the animator, have been suitably reconstructed constructed to resemble those first muscular, vaguely threatening drawings.
TMNT 1990 MOVIE
After so much headline coverage, can this turtle extravaganza possible live up to such eager expectation? Happily, and a little surprisingly, the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles far exceeds it, largely because it's worlds removed from the kiddies' TV cartoon.Ī clue that all is not what it might be is the word Ninja in the title.
