Les tortues ninjas

This is the animated series that changed me forever!!! I was obsessed with the turtles because of this excellent series & I'm still a huge life long fan now at 35yrs old. I collected all the awesome action figures & loved the movies well 1&2 anyway & this animated series that i watched constantly i still remember turtle Tuesdays on one of our sky/NyNex channels when i was little it was great fun.

I love the tmnt they are my childhood heroe's just like the Ghostbusters too can't forget those with their real Ghostbusters series & both films. Raphael was always my favourite turtle & still is now i even have his face tattooed in my arm.

The tmnt were special to us growing up when young as they taught us right from wrong & what being a hero was all about. The tmnt & master splinter taught me respect & it's ok to be different & too stand up for yourself i mean these mutants ment so much to us 80's & 90's kids. The tmnt are still my favourite comic book super heroes of all time!!! Forget Batman or superman my heroes are green.

The 1990 movie is a cult classic & still one of the greatest comic book films ever MADE!!! My personal favourite.

Although often the animated series was goofy & silly fun it still had alot of serious issues like street crime & gangs of thugs & crime & vigilantes (the excellent Casey Jones) & we had the BRILLIANT Shredder voiced by the legendary James Avery R.I.P who also played the great uncle Phil in Fresh Prince of bel air also a brilliant t.v series.

I will forever be grateful the tmnt existed & i grew up in the best era when everyone was turtle mad & they ruled so big it was a tmnt phenomenon at that time late 80's-early 90's & i was right there in the middle of it like i was with the real Ghostbusters craze & the Power Rangers craze.

LOVELY nostalgic memories of a great lost era & a brilliant ground-breaking animated series phenomenon.

April O Neil was my first crush when I was a little boy. I was born in 1983 and this was formative, don't judge. The rest of the show was also fine.

As a kid, this was one of the greatest TV series of all time. Everything about it was fresh and original; nowadays, cartoons (and other TV shows) copy other shows. Leonardo was always my favorite because he was the mature, leadership-involved turtle. I miss it not being on the air. This show, the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and X-Men were the best cartoons.

I remember watching this as often as I could when I was younger. When I was 11-12 years old I would get up early enough in the morning to watch it before I left for school... but I was interested in the show from as far back as I can remember. I collected the action figures(not dolls, no; boys play with action figures... girls play with dolls) from a young age, as well as comics, and I even own two VHS tapes with two episodes each(unfortunately, these were dubbed, as most filmed entertainment geared towards kids are, in Denmark). I write this review right after having watched all four episodes in immediate succession for the first time in more years than I can say for sure. Possibly as much as a full decade. All the fun of them came right back to me even as I thought of them. Sure, the show had its flaws... there are glaring continuity errors aplenty, the dialog(packed with more or less lucky one-liners) and plot lines are often somewhat daft... but when you look at the plus side(as well as keep in mind that this is still a children's show), it's just no contest. The pacing is excellent. Having just watched an hour and a half of it, straight, I can say that I wasn't bored at all, in spite of remembering most of what would happen. The action is exciting, intense and downright cool. And the theme music(which I found myself humming in anticipation before the tape was in the VCR)... I doubt there is or will be anyone, whether kid or adult(who is at least a little in touch with their inner child), especially male, who don't like it. The plots are often simplistic, but as far as I remember, never (too) obvious and usually entertaining as well as gripping. It mostly manages to dodge the Batman-esquire/James Bond-ian cliché of having Donatello produce some gadget from his belt to solve their problems. The humor is silly and somewhat childish, but it fits its audience quite well(and I can't claim that I didn't laugh several times throughout watching the four episodes). The whole level of writing basically does, really. The fights are well-choreographed and fairly frequent. All in all, a pretty solid show, that provides many hours of check-your-brains-at-the-door entertainment. I recommend it to any fan of the four green humanoid heroes, and anyone aspiring to become such a fan. Turtle Power! 8/10

I watched this almost all the time when I was a kid. Seeing the Foot Soldiers, Krang, Shredder, and everyone else was great. I can still picture it all. Too bad that it isn't airing anymore. At least videos are made, so you can enjoy the turtles all over again.
