This is a great inclusion in the set, even if it might have been better placed on the disc with the second film. It’s 30 minutes and is very of its time, although there’s some cool stuff in it, including some scenes with the Turtles talking to camera and some interesting footage of the animatronic heads being demonstrated.

Previously released on VHS, it’s actually more of an infomercial for the second film.

Included on the disc with this first film is the Behind The Shells making of feature.

It’s taut (with a runtime of 90 minutes), exciting and full of fun. One of the most underrated comic book adaptations, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has aged nicely. Paired with a grand voice cast, including Corey Feldman, they give the human roles a real run for their money (alongside Splinter, voiced and co-puppeteered by Kevin Clash).

The faces are brilliantly expressive and the skin textures look convincing. On the subject of the suits, the ones in this film, produced by the Jim Henson Creature Shop, look terrific. The one we ended up with was produced by Golden Harvest, the legendary company behind several of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan’s movies, which may account for the excellent fight sequences in this film (they’re particularly good when you consider that half the participants were bundled up in animatronics, foam and headbands).

Several other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies were proposed, including a Roger Corman-produced comedy film starring well-known comics with their faces painted green. Regrouping and recovering at a farmhouse, the Turtles return to the city to rescue Splinter and to take on The Foot Clan, led by the fearsome Shredder. The Foot soon strike, beating Raphael into a coma and forcing the Turtles to retreat from the city, along with allies April and Casey Jones. The Turtles soon find themselves bunking with O’Neil after their lair is trashed and their father figure, mutant rat/masterful sensei Splinter, kidnapped. O’Neil is attracting attention from villainous ninja clan The Foot, as she believes they are responsible for a crime wave sweeping through New York City. The story finds Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo (the TMNT) venturing to the surface to engage in combat for the first time, rescuing news reporter April O’Neil from Ninja thieves. Serious enough that it can get away with exciting fight scenes and a villain who conveys a genuine threat, but light enough that kids can enjoy it – all coupled with a sense that the filmmakers don’t appear to be taking what is a pretty zany concept too seriously. With a story from the original comics softened with elements from the popular 80s/90s cartoon, it finds a tone for the material that’s just about perfect. If you’ve read those pieces, you’ll likely be aware that we have something of a soft spot for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles here at Den Of Geek.

We’ve previously covered the films on this site with a series of look backs that covered the first, second and third films, which are included in this new boxset, as well as the 2007 computer animated film and the straight-to-video animation, Turtles Forever. The release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films is particularly exciting.
