OLD LIVE ACTION BABY NINJA TURTLE SERIES

So this was a welcome bit of authenticity. Yeah, for some reason, whenever licensees decided to make a crappy live-action TMNT video special, they cast people who, even on your most charitable days, you would never describe as “voice actors”. They won’t be in any of the other videos in this s-t-a-thon, either. Yep, that’s Cam Clarke (Leo), Townsend Coleman (Mike), Rob Paulsen (Raph) and Barry Gordon (Don). One thing you might appreciate is that they got the actual voice actors from the Fred Wolf TMNT cartoon to reprise their roles for the video. So April and the Turtles operate out of Los Angeles in this universe instead of New York City? Sure, why not. The oddities in this promotional video for a state of the art train system (that’s probably become a mobile crackhouse by now) make it a little interesting to watch. All the other videos on this list are going to run between half an hour and feature-length, so get ready for that. Right around 10 minutes, its stupidity doesn’t overstay its welcome. Of all the videos on this list, I’d say “Operation Blue Line” is the least offensive because it has mercy enough to be short. April summons the Turtles, or guys in theme park mascot costumes, and they use the Blue Line’s easy access and reliable service to chase the villain down. Unfortunately, the evil Gridlock wants LA to be drenched in traffic congestion and smog, so he uses the Gigameter from Ghostbusters II (I’m sorry, the “Gloosmday Device”) to make all advertisements for the RTD Blue Line disappear. In this thrilling promotional video, April O’Neil wants to tell everyone in Los Angeles about the new RTD Metro Blue Line train system. Here are 5 virtually unwatchable live-action TMNT video specials. And if you were there and saw it all the first time, well, let’s suffer through this together just like we did in the ‘90s.

If you think Saban’s Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation TV series or the TMNT III motion picture were the worst live-action Turtle media out there, you’ve barely smelt the tip of the shitberg.Īnd thanks to You Tube, now you can experience for yourself just how bad the darkest corners of Turtlemania really were. These things happen.īut when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shat out something awful, dear God in Heaven.

I mean, yeah, even Star Wars Mania in the ‘70s and ‘80s produced its Holiday Special and occasional rap video. With the Turtles being licensed to the breaking point, it should come as no surprise that a goodly portion of their off-shoot media fell noticeably short in the quality department. So then why do I also envy you? Because holy s-t, so much of it was terrible. Listen to the latest episode of the AIPT Television podcast!
