Across
the ages (and dimensions) the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles
time and time again have saved the world from evil ninjas, mutants,
aliens and much more... Now join Leonard, Donatello, Michelangelo
and Raphael in 10 epic episodes as the battle Shredder and the evil
mutants from Dimension X.
See what kick started
the pizza loving, crime fighting, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. See
some of the original cartoon animation, the Turtles live and hide in
the sewers of NY and protect the Earth from Shredder and his mutants
Bebop and Rocksteady, and evil alien Krang from Dimension X. Most of
these epic episode are about Turtles stopping Shredder and Krang's
plans of reviving their Technodrome and evil plans from conquering
the world. Fortunately, Shredder is often foiled by either the
turtles or his incompetent minions.
This was a blast from
the past of what cartoon animation was like in the 1980s and started
a whole franchise of toys, view games, movie and fans. Often the
series is comical with it's science fiction, but hey it's all cool,
with mutants and ninjas.
Unfortunately,
the 1.33 X 1 image is weak and lossy Dolby Digital sound even
fainter, but we get extras and they include The
Turtles: A Ninjatastic Look Back,
artist interview, and 25 years with die hard TMNT fans.
