Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

If you didn’t like Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, just know that it could’ve been a lot worse. An early draft of the script turned the Turtles into aliens from another dimension and Shredder was turned into Colonel Schroeder, a secret alien who can grow blades. That’s just one of the facts packed into the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, which gets totally tubular with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The sweet spot in the Venn diagram of people who like 'Entourage' and people who like 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' is a pretty good size, so we wonder how this video is only just now being made. Seriously, why did it take so long for somebody to put 'Entourage' character Turtle together with 'TMNT' and come up with this?

Any self-respecting kid who grew up during the late 1980s through the early 1990s knows 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' like the back of their hand. Origin story involving mutagenic ooze? Wise old sensei in the form of a talking bipedal rat? Arch villain bristling with a set of pointy armor? Check, check and check.

If a plain old pumpkin jack-o-lantern isn't your style, or you've mastered pumpkin carving and are looking for a challenge, perhaps consider making a Krang-o-lantern.

The ninjutsu, better known as ninjas, are a bit of mystery, especially when it comes to their origins. Historians believe the practice is a mix of different cultural self-defenses and philosophies from a mix of eastern nations. We like to think it’s all part of the ninjas’ plans to make them even more feared, unseen and mysterious.

Playing a heavy metal version of a cartoon theme song isn't going to win you a spot in the rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. But it will win over a whole lot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles fans.

What do you get when you take the mutant out of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"  That would be Michael Bay's upcoming live-action movie adaptation of the popular pizza-loving crimefighters.

It was the largest gathering of humans dressed in green suits anywhere. (Well, outside of St. Patrick's Day, that is.) 836 men, women and children displayed "Turtle power" at Minnesota's Mall of America when they set a new record for the largest gathering of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans, beating the previous record of 786 set at Rutgers University in 2008. We like to imagine all 836

Kyle Roberts really loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He loves them so much, in fact, that he lovingly recreated the opening using nothing but action figures and hand-drawn animation. Seriously.

Cowabunga, dude! The mega-popular '80s franchise 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' is ready to make a big return to movie theaters in advance of their upcoming 30th anniversary. Paramount, Nickelodeon and producer Michael Bay are teaming up to bring back the "Heroes in a Half-Shell" with an all new reboot of the classic series.

The '90s were a time when there wasn't a whole lot in the world to worry about. If you need any proof, watch this old video of a Canadian religious organization which had nothing better to do than bemoan the rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who they argued where turning children into little tools of Satan.

Yes, some might view graffiti as urban blight, but it is really so bad when it depicts lovable turtles? Check out this collection of turtle-inspired graffiti below, which features sea turtles, cartoon turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and even one crude chalk drawing of a turtle that reads "Slow but wise."

Move over Teenage Mutant Ninja Poodle, and all you celebrities with our favorite heroes on a half-shell drawn onto your noses. Teenage Mutant Ninja Tree has emerged from the sewer and is ready to fight crime and take names.

Yesterday we showed you a video of a Chihuahua decked out to look like a tiny tank for Halloween. Today is all about the poodle. While tank dog seemed fairly pleased with his heavily armored get-up, we're not as sure about how this standard poodle feels about being dyed green and dressed like 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle' Leonardo.

The hottest new single-topic Tumblr is Teenage Mutant Ninja Noses, which features crude portraits of the famous heroes in a half shell drawn on images of celebrity honkers (including James Franco, Justin Bieber and others). This is the kind of thing that you probably never would have noticed on your own, but once you see it, it's so obvious -- the human nose looks exactly like the bottom two-third
