21:26 And there is more to it. In the original cut, Michelangelo went through a depression when they were at the farm, and the scene where he’s going at the punching bag went on longer to further show his frustrations. Also, it was originally him who was screaming for Splinter atop the farm, as you can clearly see his nunchucks.

Happy anniversary, Sean. For the record, at the time of the movie, Domino's actually had a policy where if your pizza was not delivered within 30 minutes, 3 bucks would be taken off the cost. If memory serves, that was discontinued shortly after when a driver was killed trying to deliver a pizza on time. Hope that helps.

I've had the worst day I've had in a while. It was good to see this in my inbox.

You forgot to mention the movie is actually the first time where Rapheal's character is fully defined. The tv series had already established Leo as the Leader, Donnie as the Tech Guy and Mikey as the goofball. Raph in the cartoon was essentially a snarkier version of Mikey and this movie is actually where they establish Rapheal as a hothead with extreme anger management issues. Which for me is a big deal since Raph has always been my favorite turtle.

Minor casting fact you might find funny, related to the error from the 1987 series shown at 3:40. In the 1987 series, Raphael was voiced by Rob Paulsen. In the 2012 series, Donatello (the turtle erroneously given Raph's voice in this scene) was ALSO voiced by Rob Paulsen.

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY SEAN! I've been here since 2012 (Your "Cat in the hat" review was the first one I saw) and let me tell you, you HAVE gotten better. You're one of the funniest, most charismatic and unique film reviewers/nerds on YT. Congratulations and here's for another 10 years!

Definitely didn’t expect this for the 10th anniversary. Congratulations for getting up to ten years dude!

so.........we just gonna ignore the fact that this movie has a oscar winner in it? mr. sam rockwell. :D

"Man, better get to bed, gotta be up early for..." [sees video] "AWW FUUUUUCK!"

The first review of yours I saw was The Last Airbender and I was hooked ever since. I even asked you to take a look at my (now deleted) review of the same movie and your words were very encouraging. I've stuck around because I love your content, but more than that, you're a swell guy. Here's to more, Sean! Keep up the good work

About the claustrophobic joke: I think that maybe he was supposed to have mistaken "claustrophobic" for "closeted (bundle of sticks)". That's the only thing I can think of that even remotely makes sense.

I've been watching you ever since I saw your _Meet the Spartans_ review, and I plan on sticking around as long as I can. Because you're one of the few review channels that hasn't either gotten stale or had some kind of major scandal. So thank you for entertaining us for 10 years, and I look forward to 10 more!

Jim Henson thought it was too violent? *cough* Dark Crystal *cough*

10 years...jesus. Its been a while. And a Turtles marathon to celebrate!

I’m almost 35 years old and I still love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 🐢, turtle fan for life, God I love being a 90s Kid

HEY SOMEONE ELSE WHO LOVES THE DUCKTALES REBOOT! seriously the moon theme lullaby always makes me cry And i AM a grown man!

Ten years!!! Congratulations!

Sean, you were my first KZfaq subscription; back when you were Smeghead.

9:10 Daaaaamn! Quentin Tarantino's longtime editor worked on this??? Cowabunga! Also, still miss you, Sally Menke.

Happy Anniversary, Sean. I love these movies. And you may notice that half the scenes of New York City in part 2 were actually Wilmington, NC.

The 80s Flash Gordon film needs to be reviewed at some point.

Happy Anniversary! My confession, when I am having a bad day and need a chuckle, I play your Cinematic Excrement playlist. Especially the dreaded Twilight ones. Thanks for all the chuckles.

In reference to the deeper character moments like with Mikey not being able to handle the thought of Splinter being gone, Raph gets a pretty good one to. When he takes down those to thieves but then gets into a fight with Casey over Casey wanting to hurt them more. I think it's just a great moment that the angry one who clearly like to fight is also the one that we see going "no, they've been dealt with, it's over, I'm not going to let anyone take this farther."

Congratulations on the anniversary. You are by far one of the best movie reviewers on KZfaq.

My first girlfriend and I bonded over the turtles. We're still on good terms for a reason

My family and I have been watching you since about episode 30, and we love you man! And we genuinely love that you totally forgot about your own anniversary.

I'm enjoying your channel. Your retro CBS movie presentation intro brings back so many memories. Thank you.

18:22 -- If Casey didn't know what claustraphobia meant, and thought it meant "in the closet" or the like, or just misheard Donatello and thought he said "closet-something", I mean, happens in real life all the time (especially with me) someone saying one thing and the other hearing something wildly different.

Thanks. Born in '65, I was an adult by the 80s, so I was never really into TMNT like that. But I can say that I *_did_* watch the reruns in the 90s, and I enjoyed them. There was enough adult-level humor to keep it interesting & fun. Too many of the toons nowadays are mindless yuck fests & gross-out humor - the dreaded LCD (lowest common denominator). Many of them look like they were designed for kids with ADHD. I was basically raised when Saturday morning cartoons were a big deal, and the Looney Tunes show was easily my favorite (and still is). Nobody makes them like that anymore! Only Animaniacs, or Pinky and the Brain come anywhere close to that level of sophistication. My stepson had an old VHS of the first TMNT movie. He's 35 now. Time flies. But I've never been interested enough to want to sit through a live-action version of the Turtles. Although, I did always wish there were TNMT pizza joints for real. That would be awesome! Pizza is my favorite food group. tavi.

I’m late but happy anniversary! My first episode was Alone in the Dark, back in 2015, and I watched every single episode up to that point before the year ended. You have gotten better, your videos are not only entertaining but very informative. Keep up the good work!

Been watching your content since 2013, loved every minute of it, here's to 10 more years.

Happy anniversary to Cinematic Excrement, Sean! I’ve loved your channel for a long time and I’m glad to see you talking about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films.

I have definitely kept up with every episode. Definitely. In all seriousness, I really love your stuff. To another 10 years!

Been watching your videos for 3 years now and whenever you upload a new one it always makes my day. Happy anniversary! :)

Discovered your channel during high school, was a difficult and stressful time for me, but your entertaining vids kept me alive and sane. Thank you Smeg, here's to another 10 years.

Congratulations on 10 years of awesome entertainment! Please keep up the great work! Here’s to another 10 years.

Congratulations on 10 years! I've been here since your Twilight review, and I always look forward to your takes!

Happy Anniversary, Sean!!! I’ve been a fan of your channel since 2014 and think you’re one of the best YT reviewers out there. That said, the bit where you pointed out the other human in the suit, has kinda now become a cursed image in my head so thank you very much

Congratulations on 10 years! Here's to 10 more! I love your reviews man, honestly keep it up.

the turtles is fun happy 10th anniversary sean my exposure to the cartoon was when it was on in syndication but what made these henson turtles films fun at least from my point of view is that the turtles get along well when stopping shredder you are simply a really funny movie reviewer/nerd, probably right next to other movie reviewers that i really enjoy that have a positive impact as a viewer, congrats on getting up to Your 10th anniversary of this channel or as michaelangelo would say, Cowabunga

Happy 10th anniversary Sean!! I've been with you since the beginning and I love you and your channel as much now as I did then. Reviewing TMNT really takes me back to when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in years and I know this is going to sound stupid but watching the clips throughout the video actually got me choked up, especially seeing Mikey cry during the camp fire scene. I realized I had forgotten this movie. Thank you for reminding me of it. And thank you for 10 years of amazing content. You put so much hard work and passion into every video. Each review is well researched, intelligent, insightful and always funny. All that and your natural charm as a host is why I'm still watching your videos 10 years later. I look forward to many more years of your great content.🙂

I have such great memories with this movie. My brother and I used watch the vhs on repeat whenever we would visit my aunt. Happy 10 year anniversary!!! Been fan of your content for the past couple years! 🎉🎊

This movie was made independently because no other studio wanted to finance it. New Line Cinema only distribute it.

Good work, man! As a recent subscriber, I love seeing your videos! Happy 10th anniversary!

I've followed you since 2013 and you are still one of my fav KZfaq critics. Your reviews are both very informative and fun to listen to.

My theater were cheering, hooping and applauding in that scene you showed when they hopped out onto the screen in all their glory. It was awesome. I also remember in the 80s and even through the 90s, people would applaud at the end of movies at the theaters. I don't see that anymore unless at special events or sreenings. Back then it happened at every and any showing.

10 years! What an achievement! ^^ Also, I recall NC being bummed about April not wearing the jumpsuit in the movie. And about the film's climax.

New Line Cinema didn't set out to make TMNT at all. The first film was made by Golden Harvest, then bought and distributed by New Line. New Line made the more cartoonish sequels, but aside from maybe some post production input, they were not involved in the making of the first one. Which is, as you note, basically a direct adaptation of the comics, with a few carefully selected elements from the cartoon.

Happy 10th Anniversary, Sean!!!

Happy anniversary Smeghead! I love your show! I'm also a MSTie so I get your humor

Happy 10th Anniversay, Sean! I have been following you for five or six years, having watched the majority of your episodes since watching a review of one of the mockbusters This was my introduction to the world of KZfaq critics.

I think that was me that reminded him. I commented "a decade later" on his first video several days ago and here we are. Wishful thinking.

I found one of your videos a few days ago. I've been binge watching ever since.

I saw the first and second movies. They were awesome. I grew up with the 2012 show. And I also grew up with the 84 transformers. And my first introduction to the ninja turtles was the 1987 show. Even though I was born in 2004. I loved watching old cartoons as a kid like beast wars.

3:38-3:41 Although it’s more hilarious in hindsight since 25 years later Rob Paulsen would actually be the voice of Donatello in the first Nickelodeon series

Happy 10 year anniversary to a fantastic channel!

I was only five when the first TMNT movie came out, and it wasn't even until later that I learned it was based on a comic-book series. It didn't really matter at the time, as both my kid bro and I were automatically hooked. We saw the animated series and first two live-action films on VHS, the third live-action film in theaters, and I saw a Ninja Turtles live-stage performance at one point in Tennessee. We even had the plastic toy nunchucks! And even more interesting, for better or for worse, was that the Turtles were my introduction to Japanese culture - which to this day I still show profound interest in, most particularly their cinema - even before I learned about freaking Godzilla!!! Also incredible was that I met Kevin Eastman at a Comic Con in Greenville, SC back in March 2019 nearly a year before Covid19 hit! Along with other comic-book artists like Frank Cho and Budd Root (I got their autographs), I was just psyched to see one of the creators of a very profound childhood influence! I wonder if I'll have the same feeling when I meet Frank Miller...

Happy 10 years, Sean. I'm so utterly proud of you and all that you've done.

Happy 10th Anniversary, Sean! I've been a fan and avid watcher since 2017, keep up the awesome work! ^_^

Been watching your channel for about 7 or 8 years 🥰 your content is amazing

I've been watching pretty much since The Last Airbender and I've been subscribed since that Japanese Mario cartoon

I've been watching you since about 2015 or so. Love your reviews!

Happy Anniversary! I always look forward to your videos.

Happy 10 Year Anniversary, Mr. Smeghead! I was hooked by your Kiara the Brave review back in 2012 and have been a fan ever since. Can't wait to see you tear into Showgirls, Striptease, The Postman, Burn Hollywood Burn, Wild Wild West, Freddy Got Fingered, Swept Away, Gigli, Dirty Love, I Know Who Killed Me, The Love Guru, Movie 43, The Emoji Movie, Holmes & Watson, and possibly Cats!

I need part 2 like... now! And happy Anniversary my good sir!

Congratulations! Have been watching your stuff since that hilarious epiode on eragon. Keep it up!

I've been with you ever since your Manos: The Hands of Fate review.

Happy 10th anniversary, i rarely comment, but i always watch and like your videos!

Happy 10th anniversary dude! Here's to 10 more years!

Happy 10th anniversary ! I loved this movie!! Great choice!! 🥰

I've been here since the Die Another Day episode. Your videos are pretty entertaining and funny!

Yes, you have improved. Your jokes come across as more genuine (weird wc I know) and your writing and analysis is just plain smarter. You're great.

Congrats on 10 years of Excrement, Smeg. P.S. I had a thing for the actress that played April in this movie too.

Congrats Sean! Love your content - here’s to another 10 years 😊

Great review. Happy (belated) Anniversary!

I've been watching you for so long, definitely not 10 years though lol Happy anniversary!

Sean, I've been a fan since discovering your review of Cutthroat Island one day on YT and began playing catch-up from your first video review on Twilight and progressing to the present. Congrats on 10 years of reviewing BS for our enjoyment. It couldn't happen to a nicer drunken pirate! XOXO

18:06 I think the joke was supposed to be that "claustrophobic" kind of sounds like "closeted".It's still dumb but at least it makes sense.

Congratulations Sean! Hoping for another ten years.

I think I've been a fan since the Dragon Ball review, stayed a fan ever since. Congrats Sean!!

This was the first movie I saw without my parents. Something you could never let a 10 year old do now. And that theater was full of nothing but kids. How times have changed.

10 years? It only feels like yesterday. Happy Anniversary dude

why i discover this channel 10 years later.... i actually like this.

I don’t know why this channel doesn’t have more subscribers... it’s a shame, I tell you.

Great review and Happy 10-year anniversary! (Also, I don't think that "Awesome!" even stopped being a slang to this day. I still see it as being used as the go-to adjective for people who are amazed or merely impressed by something.)

Thanks for the vid. Always great.

I believe I have been here since the fantastic four review(s)! Been enjoying the videos ever since!

Smeghead was glad that Fifty Shades Freed wasn’t made into two parts but then gives us a video made into two parts 🤔 lol but I’m glad he picked the TMNT for the anniversary wasn’t expecting that 🙂

Been watching your stuff since 2015.

Been here for the vast majority of those ten years!

Dude I have been watching linkara since he was almost as thin as you are, when he was making vids in his bed room at his parent's house(nearly 13 years now I think). five years of you is a cake walk. entertaining as all hell too.

Holy mother of bacon, has it really been ten years? Wow...I'm still honored you let me be a part of your 5th anniversary. I guess time really flies ❤

Wow! 10 years!! Congratulations!!! I had no idea as I only start watching about 2 years ago. Yes! TMNT!!! I love how the costumes for the first two where made by Jim Henson!!!

OMG I AM SO HAPPY YOU'RE DOING ALL 3 MOVIES!!! THESE MOVIES AND THE '87 CARTOON WERE MY CHILDHOOD!!!😃😍😍💚💚💚 Edit: Can't wait for part 2!😃😁

wow... I guess it has been a long time. I think I subscribed back in 2013 or 2014, but just so you know Sean, that first review of Twilight was what pulled me in lol.

Happy 10th anniversary! I first discovered you in 2017 and I have been a fan since! Anyways,the TMNT franchise has made many memories for me! My first experience was with the 2003 series and everything else onward! OK this film! Looks good but I know it gets worse from there! To be continued in Part 2...

I definitely think it was Corey Feldman's role in The Burbs (in particular when he calls the 'Pizza Dude') is definitely what inspired casting him for the movie.

that thing about Oroku Nagi is interesting since he's never made it into any adaptations outside the comics, with subsequent versions opting for Saki and Yoshi having the more direct rivalry. the closest thing we've got is the character of Mashimi in the 2003 episode, the Tale of Master Yoshi

Happy Anniversary Sean

I was introduced to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" around 1985. I was a hardcore pencil and paper role playing gamer at the time, and that was the golden age of role playing games. I was in a hobby store looking for something interesting to toss on the game table when I ran across, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness" by Palladium Books. I snatched that book up immediately because it just... stood out with it's weirdness. I discovered the comic book after that, and that book was, at the time, one of the most expensive collectable comics back then, for some reason. The game was very much based on that comic book, and it was just.. insane. It was fun for a one-off departure once in a while when we weren't playing Dungeons & Dragons, or TSR's Marvel Superheroes Role Playing Game. I remember when the TV show came out, I was very... disappointed, because the game was kind of... brutal. But they made the TV show all goofy and dumbed down, as well as changed several of the characters to make them more... child friendly.
