It was the holiday season of 1987, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles took over America and the world, with the debut of their first animated series. In this TMNT 1987 review, I will go over all the details that make this version so different, and all the things it introduced to the lore.

Thanks for watching! Was this your first TMNT? If not, which one was it?

I was lucky enough to meet one of the Ninja Turtles himself, Rob Paulsen in person today! I got him to ask “Would you like a croissant pizza?” in his Carl Wheezer voice, that and I asked him about his opinion about the cast of Mutant Mayhem, he liked it, and his son was thrilled to see the movie. I also got to meet Maurice LaMarche, he was fun to meet too.

Even if I was born in 2010 this show is awesome :D

You should really make a video on the German version of the show. Because the shenanigans pulled there are something else. Germany still used the censored titel of Hero Turtles with all the cut scenes because we got the british version as a base for ours. But other than that the dialoge writer didn't give a damn and had a field day. He added several details like Raphaels catchphrase "I feel sick" whenever he disliked something, Donatellos speech bumbling through sentances. "So when, so we, so you ..." and also nicknames. Like Rocksteady calling Beebop Pigcheeks. And last but not least: The swearing. Dear god the swearing. From Bullshit to the actual F-bomb. I'll never forget the Neutrinos going "Let's cruise down the fuckin Milkyway!"
I think that show taught me to use foul language and i will forever be grateful lol
It really is a treasure. So i think in Germany season 8 was very well the reason it went down. They changed studios for the final season. New dub with new voice actors and also very tame.

If the 1st season was animated in Japan, does that make episodes 1-5 technically anime???

What if Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 had #arksurvivalevolved, Avatar (franchise), John carter, exoprimal, Jupiter Ascending, valerian and the city of a thousand planets, Elite Dangerous, star citizen, Max Steel (2013 TV series), lightyear 2022, escape from planet earth, planet 51, battle for terra, Hi-Fi Rush, Knack (video game), Knack II, ninjala, ninjago, sunset overdrive, scarlet nexus & rwby of their own?

Even though I'm a grown ass man working for a living paying off bills and whatnot, I still can't shake off my love for TMNT. (yes I'm showing my age a bit). I grew up as a lil boy watching the first cartoon show. I even drew myself on pieces of paper as the fifth turtle lol. But, the 2003 version did a better job and from what little I've seen, the 2012 version did a bit better again. Only recently am I here because I caught wind of the 4th iteration of the franchise and it looks f***ing awful, Raphael is the leader? I guess for the younger people it doesn't matter. For me, the franchise died with the 2012 series and the michael bay movies (which made a good effort in all fairness).

Didn’t Michelangelo’s one-shot comic from Mirage give Michelangelo a little bit of a goofy, fun-loving personality in the first place?

[lucasgibbs]

Wasn’t it technically 8 seasons with the Foot Clan?

This was the Turtles I grew up with but isn't my favorite Ninja Turtles these days. It does have the best intro theme (seasons 1 to 7) though. Either the 2003 or 2012 is my favorite Turtles series.

The most sacrilege to the TMNT franchise

[mcflonway]

What’s ninjutsu? So many names and words mispronounced in this video. Not bad otherwise but I’d pay attention to this.
