TMNT fans the 1987 TMNT animated series is perhaps the most influential piece OF Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles media. As it's influences are still being felt to this very day and as such I thought that it was about right that I now took the time to take another look at yet another classic episode from this show and so then TMNT fans join me as I review the episode that has quite alot of animation errors with the episode in question being called simply just "Return Of The Shredder" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is The Shredder returns to Earth after being sucked into Dimension X and all the meanwhile the turtles have to find out whom is making the public believe that they are infact villains before it's far to freaking late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this episode was in all honesty not that bad since it was just as freaking cheesy and as corny as you'd want an episode of this show to be like in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Cam Clarke as Leonardo and Rocksteady , Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop and Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo. Also starring in this episode is Rob Paulsen as Raphael , Peter Renaday as Splinter and Vernon Fenwick , Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil , Pat Fraley as Burne Thompson , Krang and Baxter Stockman , Peter Cullen as Smash , James Avery as Shredder and Jennifer Darling as Irma and Tiffany.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which shouldn't really shouldn't come as an absolute surprise to absolutely anybody whatsoever as the acting that's in this very show / series has always been really freaking good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the animation for this show is of course A-1 Productions whom are perhaps best known for there animation on the anime Fairy Tail. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad however this episode does indeed feature quite alot of animation did bring the overall quality of the animation in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode also sees the introduction of April's friend and colleague Irma and well this episode presents a huge issue with the writing of Irma. Since she's written as somebody whom only thinks about getting married to a man and that's it. Which might have been passable in 1987 but it's a piece of writing that really hasn't aged all of that very freaking well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then for me what would have made this episode seem like a perfect episode of this very freaking show was if this episode had been funnier. Since when you think of this show you think of it being funny and yet that's the one thing that's missing from this show since there are truly laughing out loud this is despite of the fact that there plenty of good set ups for some actual jokes in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then there is one thing that I really did laugh out loud at and that's the fact that Krang only sent Shredder back to Earth simply because of the fact that Shredder was getting on Krangs. Just that one idea alone is just so freaking funny to me just because it's totally something that I can see this version of The Shredder doing and that alone makes that one simple idea very freaking funny to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirteen seconds. Which is in all honesty more then enough time in which you really do need to tell the exact same freaking story as this freaking episode however tho with all of that being said I would have liked it if this episode was just a tad bit longer tho just because this episode storyline is that damn good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then since this show is an action show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very was in all honesty not that freaking bad. Since it was just as wonderfully over the top and thus kid friendly as you'd expect to see in this very freaking show in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a rather solid episode of this show but at the same time it's quite clearly not this show at it's absolutely best since it's quite clear to me at least that this show was still trying to find its feet with this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Scooby Doo fandom wiki page simply because the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page actually has images from this film up on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition.
