    The speech Splinter gave to Raphael about his anger issues was so perfectly done. The tone of the scene with the music and seriousness of Splinter was just jaw dropping they don't do scenes like these anymore with any effort. It's all about comedy these days in movies that the serious scenes seemed rushed

      @JorgeTorres-tl7vo Год назад +18

      And the fact that that scene is done in shot makes it even more impressive. It’s lit so dark yet it makes you believe that this giant rat is giving an emotional speech to his turtle son. It’s perfectly done.

      There’s a recurring theme of allowing your rational mind overcome anger throughout the movie. Every time someone reacts angrily in the movie that character gets into trouble.
      Raf storms off and gets beaten up by the foot clan.
      Leo charges angrily at shredder and is about to die until Splinter shows up and then Shreddwr reacts angrily to him and gets hurled of a building as a result.

      If im not mistaken it also had to do with the lack of toys to start. The toy makers wernt getting behind the movie so they didnt make any of the turtles into action figures at first so kids wernt being sold on the movie before it came out. But i could be wrong ill have to go back and rewatch the Toys That Made Us episode.

    THANK GOD this movie exists. The fact that it could have easily not been made terrifies me and we'd never have a nostalgic gem like this. The movie is truly a masterpiece considering what it is based on and we should thank the heavens that all the creators that worked on it just knew exactly how to make this thing right. I mean, I swear to god....the entire film feels perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. It's one of those things that feels like it was just done at the exact perfect time. If it were to be remade, it would never ever be as good as this ever again. And in my honest opinion, I don't even think it is possible to even make a superior turtles movie without henson and barton.

      I get your point my dude !
      But I would add a few moments and bits here and there. Notably, when April's narrating, there's this moment when we see one turtle on a punching-bag, another screaming at the top of his lung on the roof. I'm pretty sure the whole intended sequence would have been awesome and showed more intimate moments.
      But I'm being picky, because this movie is top-notch !

      @k-dogg9086 9 месяцев назад

      @@RomainBenkandil it wasn't a botch. Originally it was Mikey that was isolated and raging, then they changed it bc they thought having Mike going through that would have been too depressing knowing how light hearted and innocent he was. So they cut it short and put Raphael's voice into that shout on the barn roof. They should have kept it original, it would have been better. Another thing was April's apartment where Mikey is cracking jokes. They should have used it instead with deep dialogue to get the characters better known about their past and all. That's about it. The rest was really well done.

    I will NEVER forget when I was 7-8 years old (so 1991-92) it was a day before my birthday and my dad came home with this movie on VHS. I had never seen it in theatres but when I watched it I was just absolutely obsessed. I was one of those rare little girls who liked TMNT, even the cartoon. This movie and Secret of the Ooze brings back so much nostalgia for me. I love how you explained all of the excellent details of this film that truly go unnoticed and underappreciated. It is a masterpiece. (also R.I.P. Jim Henson my greatest hero)

      It was actually the birth child of Hong Kong studio Golden Harvest, whose head of production, Tom Gray, green lit the movie when no other studio would, envisioning that the movie’s budget would not cost much money because the movie would be just four of their own stuntmen in costume. When they reached the end of their budget for the film, New Line picked up a lot of the cost. Either way it was a great choice for New Line to back this film, and the success of TMNT put them on the mainstream map. www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-untold-785653

    Two things.
    A lot of movies had a huge part in the way I lived my life as a kid. Back to the future 1-2. Halloween 1-2. Terminator 1-2(honestly I didn’t even mean to pick a bunch of great movies with great sequels). This movie was an absolutely huge part of my life. God when me and my best friend would go to Chuck E. Cheese’s, we ran, I MEAN RAN instantly to the left and dashed for the tmnt arcade game (when someone was playing it we almost cried). I used to think that this movie was just a silly kids movie that I would no longer enjoy watching. And I went a long time without watching it. But A few years back I was feeling nostalgic when I saw it on Netflix or something similar. Within probably five minutes it all came back to me. And I realized that it was way different then I remembered. This is a tragically under appreciated movie. And I’ve actually seen a lot of positive reviews of this movie on RUclips. To me. When I think of the ninja turtles, I think of this movie and these turtles. They felt so real to me. I loved the cartoon from the 80s as well. And that brings me to my other point and also a bit of a disappointment with this video.
    You did an incredible job man. So many of the things you brought up I agreed with so much. Right down to the voice actors voicing these characters perfectly and in a lot of surprising spots most wouldnt think we’re important. But I was shocked you didn’t really touch up more about the incredible third act at the farm house. First there’s the scene with Rafael and Leo in the bathroom. Everything down to the look on rafs face. I have no idea how They we’re able to pin his emotions of embarrassment and love for his brother so well, even with the legend Jim Henson helping. Still to this day it’s a really touching scene.
    But then there’s the meditation scene shortly afterwards, in my opinion the best part of the entire movie. Where they find out splinter is still alive. And he tells them how proud of them, his sons, he is. And tells them how important it is to stick together. Afterwards you’re watching four fully costumes people, almost puppets, expressing all these emotions and it doesn’t feel the least bit weird to cry watching that scene. The way each one of them have a little bit different reaction to it, but all of them in tears. It was honestly nothing short of masterful. It held up 30+ years later. Which is just incredible. I really thought you were gonna talk about that scene some and I was excited to hear your opinion on it.

      Exactly. In fact, a lot of deleted scenes of the farm shows Mikey having difficulty dealing with it, and was actually the one who shouted Splinter's name (which they dubbed in Raph's voice). It's also why everyone seems relieved when Mikey makes a turtle wax joke, like he's back to his old self again.

    This is genuinely one of my favorite videos you've done, I'd love to watch you just talk about superhero movies. Things like the Limewire documentary and this that are just long form video essays on seemingly random topics that you just enjoy and find fascinating are always so entertaining, you really just see the passion come out during them.
    And on that note: I'd pay money to see you analyze Spiderverse man.

    38:00 Their internal struggle of not being able to be a part of human society is something I do enjoy seeing, and the recent Mutant Mayhem really dug into that aspect in the most potent way yet for the characters (even Out of the Shadows tackled it pretty decently). It's not a perspective we get to really see the turtles struggle with in most incarnations for them. They just accept their unacceptance for the most part and go through the other heavy topics of that incarnation's story. It's a refreshing angle to see now and then.

    Fun Fact: The barn scene when Raphael yells Splinters name into the night was actually Michaelangelo. I've seen on other RUclips videos on how there was a story arc on Mickey taking Splinters loss the hardest. He also has an extended training scene in the barn where he was shown breaking boards but the final cut is just him hitting the bag. Plus the rooftop scene when Casey and Splinter look up you can can hear Michaelangelo fighting Shredder solo

    One thing to note and a common misconception is that the TMNT in this movie are NOT crime fighters. They didn't fight The Shredder to stop his crime wave or to prevent world conquest but for personal reasons (rescuing their father). Stopping the ninja crime wave was a by-product of their actions, not the goal. Had the Foot not messed with Splinter, none of this movie would've happened.
