Were you caught up in the Turtlemania of the Late 80s / Early 90s? Man, what a time to grow up! Hope y'all enjoyed this video. Please leave a comment and let me know your favorite Ninja Turtles memory. TURTLE POWER!

Dude your dad is AWESOME! He is the original KZfaq gamer! Congratulations!

At 43 I still love the tmnt to this day!

I have a 1991 Ninja Turtles pinball machine I plan to keep forever. Turtles for life 🤙

The late 80's and early 90's were such an exciting time to grow up - the turtles were everywhere! Many of the original toys were re-released recently, so I've been able to pick up all the figures that I wanted as a kid 😁

I vividly remember meeting the Ninja Turtles when I was 4 at Disney World in 94’

My parents never thought Turtlemania would go away.... Then Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came out. I love the turtles so much.

Man, I watched this video with a smile from ear to ear. I was born in 1987 and distinctly remember playing ninja turtles with my friends in the front yard. And the excitement of getting new ninja turtles toys was just totally unmatched. I remember getting a turtle van that had a slingshot on top to shoot slime. My mom used to get mad at me for getting slime in the carpet lol.

For anyone watching this who wasn't alive then, just a bit of context. I don't know about Americans but in the UK, This isn't what life was like for most kids at the time, most kids got one video game or toy for their birthday or Christmas and that one toy had to last all year. If there were other toys you got them used at markets, carboot sales and coffee mornings, things like that, for a few pence/ cents. There was no jet setting to places like new York, no theme parks. Most kids were lucky to get anything and spent most of their days playing outside on their bikes and treasured what little they got and sure as hell didn't get the latest thing. If you were lucky enough to live in a house, it was about 900 square feet and no one had more than one bathroom or one TV. No disrespect to Mr retro life but in my opinion his childhood doesn't represent the average kid of the time, at least from my experience living in the UK and north America.

I was so into Ninja Turtles, my mom called all my action figures Ninja Turtles.

Ah, back when we used to drink water from garden hoses and play outside until the street lights came on.

Yes! Ain't nothing like beating the crap out of each other after watching Saturday morning cartoons.😂

TurtleMania has never stopped. Cowabunga dude!

I love that your dad thought to record even mundane moments like you playing outside with your cousins, or something as simple as backing out of your driveway. It's almost like he planned to give you a library of B-roll footage knowing you'd go on to make documentaries of your life. Making these videos is the best way ever to pay back the favor. I am so glad I found this channel - not only for the nostalgia vibes but because it tells a beautiful human story

I remember being at church hiding underneath the pews playing TMNT on Gameboy. My favorite turtle was Donatello I can still remember waiting in line outside the theater 1 block long. I totally lived turtle mania lol

This is SIGNATURE early-90s culture... 😎

God this brought me back to being a kid. For brief moments I can almost hear my grandparents. Lost them years ago but for just a fraction of a second I thought they still existed. It lasted just enough to want to call them then realized there isn't anyone to call anymore. Thank you

Michaelangelo was my fave! The franchise was totally satisfying to a boy between the toys, the cartoon, and then the first two movies.

I feel ya, dude. Born in 81, so about 7-8 when Turtle mania hit full force. I 100% share your love and passion for the OG TMNT generation. Movies, arcade games, figurines, ice cream, posters, graphic novels, cereal ....Turtles Forever 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀!!!

As a child, I was totally obsessed with Raphael too (but in Italy he's called Raffaello, of course). I was a total Turtles-Maniac at that age, at the point that my beloved mom (passed away in September...) allowed me call to the (insanely expensive) official italian Turtles phone line, and she made believe that I've had a chat with...Raphael! <3 I'm still a Cowabunga FAN, the Turtle Power cannot be stopped! Cheers from Italy, mate! 🍻
