Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 Lost In New Jersey Film Review

To say that this year has been a pretty rough year for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be a huge understatement as the only other piece of animated turtles media Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got cancelled not long before it was released. However tho there was one bright light and that's the fact that the characters were due to star in what is both there first every animated short film and there second ever Christmas film as well and well that short film has now premiered and you all just knew that I had to take a look at it the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the short film that shockingly makes alot of ties to the turtles first Christmas adventure with the short film in question being called simply just "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 Lost In New Jersey" enjoy.

The plot of this short film is when the turtles spot fake toys of themselves on TV whilst out trying to find a gift for Splinter the turtles head to New Jersey to put a stop to it for good. Now then interms of what I personally tought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very short well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very short was in all honesty really good with the plot of the short film basically being that of We Wish You A Turtle Christmas only done much more better with the added fact that the turtles now have to stop a machine from selling fake toys of them being something that does make what could have bee seen as being a really plot now seem alive and well with this plot being one that's perfect for a short film format as there's not really alot of plot there to carry a feature film and yet this films plot is one that is still pretty weak as the turtles soon forget about getting a gift for Splinter and don't bring it up again which is something that does make us the audience forget that that was even meant to be a thing in the first place with this films plot not really taking fully advantage of the fact that it's meant to be set in the Mutant Mayhem universe as there's nothing about this films plot that connects it back to that film so much so that you'd be forgiven for taking one look at the film and thinking that it took place in another turtles universe and yet at the same time this is a plot that could only work as a Christmas special as whilst it doesn't have the typical Christmas message that a Christmas special would normally have it's plot is still fun enough to make the short film work without it with the plot of this short really being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Cousins For Life star Micah Abbey as Donatello , The Chi star Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo and The Walking Dead: World Beyond , Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures , Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie and The Fabelmans star Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo. Also starring in this film is The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers star Brady Noon as Raphael , Superman 2025 star Beck Bennett as The Commercial Announcer and In the Loop , The Office USA and Silicon Valley star Zach Woods as Chrome Dome.

Now then interms of what I personally  thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very short 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 short was in all honesty really good. With all of this shorts actors turning in some really good performances in this short which is something that really isn't all that surprising as the four main leads are of course reprising their roles from both the Mutant Mayhem movie and Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and therefor they would have a pretty good grip on there characters by now and would therefor know just how best to perform there respective characters and what kind of performance that there characters would give in any given situation with even the shorts new actors turning some solid performances as well with Zach Woods making for a pretty funny villain and Beck Bennett being as over the top as you'd want him to be for his character with the best actor in the whole short being all four of the turtle actors as they all just work so well together with all four actors having such great chemistry together that it really wouldn't be all that surprising if they recorded all their lines together as they all really just bounce off of each other so well in this short film with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this short's script is just so good that all this shirts actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this short film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Mikros Animation and Wizz. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very short well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very short was in all honesty really good with this being something that was completely unexpected as outside of Disney and Warner Bros you don't really expect short animated films to have really high quality animation to it and to be fair to this film whilst this films animation isn't feature film worthy by any means it's also alot more better then the animation that you'll find in alot of TV shows as well with the only down side being the fact that the style of animation that these Mutant Mayhem films are going with is getting pretty old and tired and that is something that does come through in this short film as while the idea of having a 3D animated film look stop motion can be great just look at the Spider-Verse films as proof of that it does also need to serve a purpose and that's something that's not the case with this film as this is a film that could have been produced in 2D and it still would have worked just as well where as if you did the Spider-Verse films in 2D you'd loose something in doing so with those films knowing how to use this style of animation because of the fact that pretty much came up with it with this film blending 2D animation and 3D CGI animation really well as alot of the effect like smoke and other such things are done in 2D whereas everything else is done in 3D and it does work well with this film but at the same time tho the characters do have these really stilted movements to them which does make the animation look unfinished at best and at it's worse just cheap. 

Much like with the Spongebob short film "Order Up" this short is also attached to a feature length film that being oddly enough the latest Spongebob movie The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants. Which is an odd pairing for this film as surely having this short film air on TV alongside A Loud House Christmas Movie: Naughty Or Nice would be more fitting as both films are themed around Christmas time where as here there's nothing that makes it make sense for this film to be paired up with the latest Spongebob movie not that that's a bad idea as it's not as it does serve as a great way for that film to get more money and eyes on it due to the fact that it's not going to do that well at the box office due to it going up against both Zootopia 2 and Avatar: Fire And Ash both of which are much more bigger movies that were very heavily promoted but at the same time tho Spongebob is more then capable of shifting cinemas tickets on his own without the need to get help from another property as let's be real here this film is going to be getting fans of Mutant Mayhem and fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the whole paying to see the film just because of the fact that it's got a short film featuring characters that they like in it and after that they'll most likely leave but if this was paired up with latest animated Loud House movie then that film would get more ratings as you can have this short film play right before it as The Loud House just isn't in the same level as something like Spongebob is and they therefor could have done with the help from this film but at the same time tho this is a short that does deserve to be seen on the biggest screen possible so there really is no way to have this short play infront of something that makes sense.

In what could be seen as being a surprising move this short film is more closer in tone to the 1987 TMNT series then alot of the more recent turtles media. With the characters cracking jokes and making one liners all over the place which is something that does oddly enough work for this short film as this is basically meant to be a Christmas special and therefor you do have permission to make jokes alot of the time even if your based off of a very serious IP or based in a world where the characters don't usually do that and while Mutant Mayhem might have basically been the 1987 show but put up on the big screen as they did make jokes in that film as well they also kept things mostly straight where as here there making jokes all of the time with that being something that will appease the young kids audience however the best film in the short film is not only one that little kids won't get but it's also one that could be considered a spoiler but let's just say that they play a certain song at the end of the short film that was totally unexpected as it's a call back to the film "We Wish You A Turtle Christmas" which is something that none of the kids watching this short film will get the adults that actively either looked the film up or watched it when they were kids will find it to be really funny as that special is ne of the worst pieces of turtle media ever and the reason why i'm not saying what it is is because of the fact that I want you guys and girls reading this review to expirence the same way that I did by not knowing just what's coming as then you'll fully get why this joke is so funny in the first place with it being something that does show you that the makers of not only this short film but also Mutant Mayhem really are die hard turtles fans as they include alot of very deep cut references that your not going to get unless your a die hard turtles fan.

This film is also one that's really topical as the film goes out of it's way to make sure that you know that it's dead set against AI. With this being something that does also date the film already as right now the only major film company talking about using AI is Disney with there new AI deal and that's really it and yet tho it is something that does tie into the film in a really cool and funny way as the films main villain chrome dome has a backstory that is just very poorly done knock offs off other more popular characters and IP's with him creating the fake turtles toys pretty much as a way to trick people into thinking that there official merch and therefor make alot of money out of it which is what AI can do when it's used in a negative way with the likeness of the turtles even being used without there express permission which again is something that's very much associated with the use of AI with the only turtle not really defending AI but rather being more in the middle about the whole thing being Donnie himself as he does point out that AI is just prompts so if the prompt put into something like Sora 2 or ChatGPT for example then you could get something that looks really good with the films villain being one that's just as goofy as you'd want for a short film like this one as he's not that serious and is not meant to be a big and scary villain he's just meant to be a funny and goofy character and that's it and to be fair that's exactly what Chrome Dome is with even the fact that he doesn't really have an end game in mind outside of making money being something that is kind of perfect for a short film and heck they could bring this character back in Mutant Mayhem 2 as the character does have some potential to be a really fun comic relief villain for the turtles to fight against much like what The Spot was in Into The Spider-Verse.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly seven minuets and twelve seconds. Which to be fair to this film is pretty much the exact grand total running time that you'd expect a short film like this one to have in the first place with this short film even having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time as this is a short film that doesn't really need a lot of plot in the first place it just needs the basic setup and premise and that's really it and that's something that this film does indeed have with this film not really needing to use it's running time all that wisely as the films plot is as developed as it will ever be given the fact that it's set up and premise is really simple with the shorts plot not really needing to be that well developed as the set up is that simple and the shorts characters don't really need to be that well developed due to the fact that they get alot of there character development in both the previous film and in Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well but in saying this tho it would been nice if the film did give these characters some small amount of character development as it would have showed that the characters are growing as people but as the film is alot more focused on being campy and over the top in all of the best ways possible then it does mean that the shorts characters can't get that much character development however tho this is a short that really doesn't need it as the plot for the short doesn't allow for any kind of character development to happen in the first place with this even being true for alot of short films as not alot of them need character development as it would be hard to squeeze into something that's seven minuets long but I really will admit that this short really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action short that really does mean hat I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very sort well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual short that's actually featured / presented to us in this very short was in all honesty really good. As even tho this film does have the one action scene in it it was something that des really well and was something that does show of just how creative that the makers of this film could be when there coming up with action scenes for these characters to be in with this films only action scene by default being it's best action scene as we get to see the turtles take on Chrome Dome in what is a really fun fight with at least three of the turtles getting the chance to take him on head on with Donnie using his brains to help them win the day which is something that does go along way into showing us just what it is that alot of the turtles bring to the team with it always being a fun time seeing them all team up to take on a bad guy with all four turtles coming up with unique ways to hurt Chrome Dome as he does nothing but use there own moves against which is something that does lead to him being defeated in a really fun way and while it would have been more fun if he had an entire army of the fake turtle toys come out to help him in his fight against the turtles that is something that could be seen as being a bit to epic for a short film as that's something that would work alot more better in a feature film format but it is also something that would have justified them mentioning the fake turtle toys outside of having them be a joke at the end of the short with the fight against Chrome Dome being a really fun filled fight in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film is massively better then what We Wish You A Turtle Christmas is as this film is watchable at the very least whereas that film is one that's best avoided by anyone and yet with this film you can tell that there was a clear love and passion for the brand and wasn't just made to sell some VHS tapes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thigs that are in this very short in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very sort really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally sued 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 IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very short that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that really are all really from this very short with alot of them being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Power Rangers In Space "Shell Shocked" Review

The turtles and crossovers are two things that go hand in hand with each other as the TMNT have done quite a few crossovers in the past. However none of those crossovers are as weird as the one that i'm going to be talking today as this crossover straight up confirms that the Next Mutation turtles exist in the same world as both Power Rangers and oddly enough Masked Rider as well and so then join me as I review that sees the turtles head into outer space with the episode in question being called simply just "Shell Shocked" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the rangers recent arch nemesis Astronema kidnaps the turtles and puts them under a spell so that she is in control of them it's up to the rangers to stop there new friends and restore there spaceship before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as the plot of the episode did allow for some fun interactions between the rangers and the turtles but at the same time tho it was weird seeing the turtles mostly act as the antagonists for the episode when the shows target audience would have been more used to seeing them as heroes and while the episode does provide an in-story explanation as to why there acting this way it still weird to see them acting as villains in this episode with this episodes feeling a little bit on the weak side with this being because of the fact that even tho the turtles themselves were set up at the end of previous episode nothing plot wise was set up then with this episodes plot feeling like it would have been done better if it was a two part plot as then the plot of the episode would have alot more time to breathe and we the audience would have alot more time to take in the fact that we're seeing the Power Rangers crossover with the Ninja Turtles with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Christopher Khayman Lee as Andros , Roger Velasco as Carlos Vallerte and Selwyn Ward as T.J. Johnson. Also starring in this episode is Tracy Lynn Cruz as Ashley Hammond , Patricia Ja Lee as Cassie Chan , Wendee Lee as the voice of Alpha 6 , Julie Maddalena as the voice of D.E.C.A. , Christopher Cho as the voice of Dark Specter , Melody Perkins as Astronema , Derek Stephen Prince as the voice of Elgar and as the voice of Raphael , Blake Torney as the voice of Electrotramp , Michael Reisz as the voice of Leonardo , Ezra Weisz as the voice of Donatello , Tony Oliver as the voice of Michelangelo and Tifanie Christun as the voice of Venus De Milo.

Now then interms 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. As by Power Rangers standards this episodes acting wasn't half bad but at the same time this is still Powers Rangers a show that really isn't all that well known for it's good acting and while that isn't something that shines through all that much in this episode it is noticeable when it comes to certain characters tho as the actors for Leo and Michelangelo for example just aren't that great with them sounding like there trying to an impressions of how they think that that turtle sounds with the actors for the rest of the turtles being passable at best with the best actor in this episode being Melody Perkins as Astronema as it comes across as her being the only one that knows that she's in a bad and goofy episode of the show and is therefor just having alot of fun just hamming it up and eating all of the scenery and while the actors playing the rangers are good that is something that's to be expected as four of the five of them have been playing their roles for at least a year now and it would therefor make sense for there acting to be as good as it is as they would have had the chance to really get to know there characters and know what kind of performance that there character would give in any given situation with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it doesn't give any of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

What alot of people might not know or even realise for that matter is the fact that this episode is technically the second episode of a two part episode. As the previous episode called "Save Our Ship" does end with Astronema forcing the turtles out of there sewer lair and that's really it there's really nothing plot wise that connects the two episodes which makes it odd that the makers of this show would have the turtles appear at the end of the previous episode as their scene in that episode basically amounts to a cameo appearance and nothing more then that with them of course taking on a much more bigger role in this episode which even then given the fact that this episodes plot is wafer thin at best it would have made more sense if this plot was the plot to a two part episode however instead of having the plot be contained to the one show why not take full advantage of the crossover aspect of it all and have it take place over both Power Rangers In Space and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation with part one happening on Power Rangers In Space and part two taking place on The Next Mutation this is something that would have made alot of sense to do as Power Rangers was the bigger show at the time and having this episode be the lead in episode to Next Mutation would then be a great way to boost the ratings of that show and plus it would mean that we would get to see the Rangers interact with someone like Splinter for example something that we don't get to see in this episode and while it is understandable why the makers of this show didn't take that approach as the two shows are filmed in different countries despite having the exact same producer.

To be fair to this episode the turtles in this episode are written pretty true to how they are in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Which is also the problem as next to nobody likes how the turtles are written in that show as there written to all be the dumb one of the group which is how they are written here also we do get to splashes of Donny being the brains out of the group which was something that was nice to see as it's something that there own show very rarely did with all of the turtles basically being like Mikey in that they would tell bad jokes and make pizza references to the point where it comes across as the makers of that show had forgotten just what the personalities of the turtles are even meant to be in the first place where as here you can tell that there was some effort to write them how we the audience know them to be but because of the fact that there beholden to how they portrayed in there own show the makers of this episode can't fix any of the problems with the turtles as it would then cause a huge disconnect between both shows and while it is great seeing the turtles team up with the Power Rangers there should have been more of an effort on the part of the Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation writers to at least get some of the way when it comes to writing the turtles as then that would mean that the makers of this episode won't have to do alot of the leg work which would all be for nothing as all of that would be forgotten about by the very next episode of the turtles own show as it makes the writing n The Next Mutation seem even more worse when you take into account just how well alot of the turtles are written in this episode and while alot of the turtles don't have that much to do as both Raphael and Venus don't really do all that much in the episode that's more due to the fact that crossover was just one singular episode and is not a knock n the writing of the turtles themselves.

This is also an issue with the Power Rangers side of things as well as the character of Carlos has next to nothing to do in the actual episode. Outside of taking part in a few action scenes and a scene at the start of the episode and that's really it which again makes you wonder why the makers of the episode didn't bother to make this an actual two part crossover even episode as then alot of the characters could have alot of things to say and do in the episode and not just basically be there as background characters with the only reason that Carlos as a character was included in this episode was more then likely just due to the fact that his Ranger was more then likely included in the Sentai footage from this episode and that's really it as you could have removed his character from the episode entirely and you'd miss nothing important to the episodes plot and while the episode could have cut his character out of the episode it does also speak a larger issue with the episode and that's the fact that two many characters that are important to both shows have nothing to do in the episode as while you can't really cut Raph out of the episode as she and along with Mikey , Leo and Donny do make the team that alot of people are familiar with you very easily could have cut out Venus as not only did alot of people hate her character back then and they still do to this very day but also alot of the shows kid audience wouldn't be all that familiar with her character due to the fact that she was only in this one Ninja Turtles show that alot of people just didn't bother to watch in the first place and so the episode could have done with cutting her out and keeping just the core four turtles and heck you could even have had a subplot with Raph and Carlos going on as that would at least then give both of those characters something to do in the actual episode itself.

Astronema in this episode really wasn't the best villain as she no clue with what to do with the turtles once there under her control. With the idea of them stealing the Megaship and having it brought to her being something that's discussed off screen which is something that does make it seem like the makers of this episode were struggling to find a justifiable reason to have the turtles and the rangers fighting each other as Astronema herself could have done itself by distracting the rangers with one of her monsters and it's not even said why the Megaship is this big victory prize for her as while yes it houses the Rangers Zords that's really it and even then the Rangers have allies on earth that they very easily could call upon and use there Zords if need be but for whatever reason the episode has the Megaship be the ultimate prize for her and while she does do the smart thing and have four of the five rangers that they capture be tied up so they can't fight back she still does next to nothing to make sure that Andros is captured altho given what we find out later about her character in this season that might be because of the fact that she's subconsciously knows that how she's acting right now isn't good and to her credit she does order Leonardo and the turtles to go and look for him which for some odd reason they don't do which makes the turtles look like really bad villains and again to her credit Astronema is more then willing to get her hands dirty as she does take part in the early part of the episodes final fight which does make her look a villain that really has taken a huge leap of the deep end and she does come across as being a villain that knows exactly what she wants and how to get as she did think ahead at the start of the episode by using mind controlling other good guys and then have them help the rangers out to gain there trust which was a really smart move on her behalf.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and twenty seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is more in line with the running times for the rest of this show and in saying that this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as it's plot isn't that well developed with it being quite hard to tell just what it is that the main plot of the episode is even meant to be alot of the time as for a large portion of the episode it does seem like the characters are just doing these completely random things for no rhyme or reason which is something that does make it hard to buy into this episode with this being something that could hve been fixed if this was a two part episode as then the plot of the episode could become alot more stronger then what it already is as now the plot would have those extra twenty two minuets that it really does need to fully flesh out with the lack of development even effecting the episodes characters as while the series regular characters do come of fairly better in this regard that's more due to the fact that this show has had more time to develop them as characters and even the characters that get introduced in this season do come as being a little better as well rather it's the turtles themselves that don't get alot of development as they remain in the exact place as characters at the end of the episode then they do at the start of the episode when something as big as them going into outer space really should have given the characters some much needed character development that could then possibly be carried over into their own show as well but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now the as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode having some really fun action scenes with the rangers both fighting against and then fighting with the turtles which does lead to some fun team ups with various rangers teaming up with various turtles which does lead to a pretty fun third act act with that third act fight scene being the best action scene in the whole episode as it will always be fun seeing all of the rangers teaming up with all five of the turtles with the fact that we get see some really fun team ups which is something that does make that action all the more fun then what it already is with it being clear as day the makers of this episode had alot of fun in coming up with the action in the third act as they weren't beholden to what was created in Japan due to the fact that they had four other hero characters to fit in and because of that we did get a really fun action scene out of it and while yes granted the editing to that action scene does let it down a bit as it does quite hard to tell which turtle is who and what is actually going on at the end of it it still does change the fact that it will always be fun seeing the turtle and the rangers teaming up with each other in one big action packed fight scene with even the unmorphed fight with the turtles taking on the rangers being just as good as the third act fight was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this season of Power Rangers might be considered one of the more better seasons of the show this episode is quite clearly one of the more average episodes of the show but to be fair that does make it one of the more better episodes of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in his very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 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 Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page , the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Mystery Of The Cliffs PSA Review

To say that the nineties was the heyday for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be a huge understatement. As not only did they have a very popular animated TV series , three live action movies and a live action TV series which also crossed over with Power Ranger In Space however people really seem to forget or just straight up don't know about all of the more stranger pieces of Turtle media to come out in that decade and well I thought i'd take a look at one of the two live action PSA's that they did and so then join me as I review the PSA that merges THREE piece of turtles media together with the PSA in question being called simply just "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Mystery Of The Cliffs" enjoy.

The plot of this PSA is when Splinter sends the Turtles out into the dessert for some training they discover members of the Foot Clan stealing somethings within the cliffs and have to stop them before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very PSA well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt hat the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very SA was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time it wasn't all that good either as it did a good job of doing whatever it was that it was trying to do but at the same time tho it makes zero sense for the turtles to be out in the dessert in the first place as Splinter doesn't fully explain why he wants them out there in the first place with the dialog explaining it feeling forced as even tho it's meant for us the audience the characters would already know why there out there and so they wouldn't need to repeat it in the first place look fair enough you need to have a reason for these characters to be in this location and this PSA quite clearly didn't have a budget but at the same time tho there should have been a lot more effort into giving this PSA a plot that not only makes sense for the story that there trying to tell but also for the characters as well as the turtles especially the 1980 animated series turtles would never be caught dead in a dessert because there's no way for them to get any Pizza with this PSA's plot feeling like it was written by someone who was only given a brief outline of who the turtles are but quite clearly isn't a fan of them in the first place with the plot of this PSA not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this PSA is Cam Clarke as The Voice Of Leonardo and Townsend Coleman as The Voice Of Michelangelo.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very PSA 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 PSA was in all honesty not that bad. Which in this case is something that does make sense as it's actors are quite literally just the same voice actors from the original show all of whom are reprising their roles in this PSA and there for thy would have of course know how best to perform there roles with the in suit actors doing a passable job given not only the suits that they had to work with but also the fact that this PSA had no budget to it but at the same time tho this is quite clearly not the best work from the actors that are reprising their roles as even tho there not sleepwalking through this entire PSA at all it's quite clear just feel lost and unsure of themselves like there not being given the right direction needed and this is something that this PSA's director Jacques Guerin really should have helped them with as that is something that would have made this special all the more watchable then what it already is with the acting that's in this very PSA not really being helped buy the fact that this PSA's scrips is just so bad as it gives none of this PSA's actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very PSA.

For one reason or another the makers of this PSA chose to make Mikey's entire character be about Pizza as that's all he talks about in this PSA. While yes both he and the other turtles love Pizza this is something that we all know but they don't all keep on talking about it all the time as no joke around ninety percent of Mikey's dialog in this PSA is just made up of him talking about Pizza with the other ten percent being made up of nineties catchphrases and it got to the point where I was dreading him having to talk about of the fact that I knew right away what his dialog was going to be about and this is a good example of the makers of this PSA not really being fans of the characters and just being given a very brief outline of who the turtles are as no self respecting turtles fan would just have the characters talking about Pizza and having the one turtle that alot of nineties kids loved become so annoying in this one PSA that you actively dread having to hear him talk because you know where his dialog is going to go and while yes it would have been hard to get people who are adults and who are fans of the original animated series turtles to write this PSA as they more then likely didn't exist but at the same time you could have gotten advice from the makers of that show on how to write for the characters or even perhaps watched one of the shows episodes just something would have done as then you would know that Mikey doesn't talk about Pizza in every other sentence but that would mean that the makers of this special would actually have to do the work to understand these characters which is something that they just didn't do and that is something that you can tell just by the way that they handled not only Mikey but the rest of the characters as well.

Believe it or not not only is the not the first live action turtles PSA but also this PSA actually combines THREE elements from other turtles media as we have the voice actors from the original show all of whom are reprising their roles for this PSA but we also have the music from the firs two live action films and we have the suits from the The Coming Out Of Their Shells Tour as well. Which is just weird and yet at the same time oddly awsome to see as well as one of the things that people love about the first two live action films was the music and the suits from the tour is one of the best things about the tour and the fact that they got the original actors back does lend the project some legitimacy to the project but all it does is remind you of those other projects and it makes you wonder the makers of this PSA went this route as they could have put together some cheaply made turtle suits or gone the Operation Blue Line route and have the suit mascots be the suits used in this special and they could have come up with an original score instead of sourcing it from somewhere else but in saying that the disco type version of the nineties movie theme song that they play over the end credits was pretty good and the makers of this PSA did know when to use a creepy piece of music from either film but again tho hearing these tracks play over a scene with the tours suits just feels weird somehow as at the very least with the Operation Blue Line PSA they used there own score and had there own suits whilst also oddly enough using the original series actors.

Perhaps the smartest thing that the makers of this PSA did was have Donatello be the one that spouts out all of the information by why us the audience should want to preserve these old buildings in the mountains. As that is something that is perfect for his character as he is meant to be the smart one of the group and so of course he would be the one to listen the hardest when Splinter is telling it to them in the first place which makes it all the more weird when both Mikey and Raph pick on Leo for not remining them about it when all they have to do is ack Donatello who is standing quite literally a few feet away from them in the first place and while this is understandable given that it is a PSA alot of his dialog is all about trying to save the things that are to be found in these maintains which does make sense given that this is a PSA but at the same time you don't need to keep on going on about it as mentioning it once or twice would have hit the mark all the same but given that this PSA was made for little kids it does also make sense that Donatello would keep on going on about it as that's who he's trying to get through to at the end of the day and having him be the one to tell all of the turtles these facts about the maintains that there in does oddly enough make alot of sense and is actually the only thing that's in this PSA that actually does make sense as alot of it is just weird at best and at it's worst just feels like the people that are making this PSA are trying to hard to make a good turtles product instead of actually making a good piece of turtles media in the first place.

In what is both an understandable and yet at the exact same time baffling reason this PSA dedicated about four to five minuets at the end very end just to telling us why we the audience should want to see these old mountain buildings be kept as they are. This is baffling in the sense that they just dedicated the first twelve minuets of the PSA to exactly that and now after the end credits have finished there now doing a more shortened version of it which is something that really doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever as no kid is going to willingly watch an additional five minuets of this PSA tape as it's telling them things that just don't interest them but to play devils advocate here it does also make sense to do exactly that as it does give you information about what you should do should you see someone trying to take something from them and it tells you where they either are or now where as well why alot of that really couldn't have been covered in the main PSA tho remains a mystery in it's own right as those are things that Splinter surely would have told the turtles before they left to go into the dessert and heck given that we also see members of The Foot Clan stealing things from one of these buildings it also would have been oddly relevant to the main plot as well with it being tacked on at the very end it only makes it feel like that it was something that the makers of this PSA forgot to do whilst filming it and so they just stuck it on at the end and had Barry Gordon do voice over over a couple of still images and called it a day which if that is the case is just a lazy to it as it is something that could have been worked into the main plot of the actual PSA itself.

Now then this PSA has/ had an exact grand total running time of exactly nineteen minuets and forty four seconds. Which is a fairly solid running time for this PSA to have but in saying that this PSA really doesn't have alot of plot there to really cover that amount of running time as by all rights this PSA's plot only about should have been ten minuets long and no more then that with both the end credits and the after credits speech from Donatello eating up alot of the PSA's running time with this not really being helped by the fact that it doesn't even use it's running time all that wisely either as nothing be it from the plot to the characters is particularly fleshed out which is to be expected as these were never meant to be seen by alot of people apart from kids in schools and that's really it but at the same time tho even PSA's should have fully fleshed out out plots look at another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles PSA called "Cartoon All Stars To The rescue" as a prime example of that as while yes it was still trying to get across a very important message it still took the time to fully develop it's plot and characters to the point where you want to care about them and where you want to see them succeed here tho because neither is fully fleshed out us the audience can't care for either the plot or it's characters as the SA doesn't really give us a reason to care form them outside of the fact that there characters from a hugely successful TV show and that's really it but I really will admit that this PSA really does does have some really pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in tis very PSA well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very SA was in all honesty not that good. With nothing that the turtles say being particularly funny or clever either with them instead just feeling like that the writers of this PSA  were trying to hard to be funny and clever where as the turtles from the original eighties TV series just were and while yes they were goofy and silly it was that exact goofiness and silliness that not only made them enduring but also both funny and likable where as here because of the fact that the characters aren't being goofy and silly there not that enduring and there not the funny with the only funny thing in this whole PSA not even being something that the turtles said or did as just before they are about to fight the members of The Foot Clan the PSA does a random scene transition to after the fight which is only funny as it makes you realise just how cheaply made this PSA was and heck even the The Coming Out Of Their Shells Tour which was still done pretty cheap still managed to have a fight scene with the turtles , shredder and the foot clan and yet this special couldn't afford to have the four or five Foot Clan actors be involved in a fight scene with the turtles and that is the best joke and it's not even something that the turtles as all it does is put emphasis on just how cheaply made and how quickly thrown together that this PSA was of that is the best joke in this whole entire PSA as the thing as a whole just isn't that funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this PSA does get credit for having turtle suits that has mouths that actually open and partly close the better live action PSA has to be Operation Blue Line just because of the fact that we get to the turtles out of New York and in LA for literally no good reason whatsoever where as here there's nothing that's all that redeemable about this PSA as it's just that bad and is better left forgotten about in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very PSA in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very PSA really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 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 a swell as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very PSA that I used in this very review being the really great Google Image fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very PSA with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV Series "Plan Six From Outer Space" Review

While there have been quite a few animated TV shows featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles it's the 1987 series that is remembered alot more. With that being due to the fact that for many myself included it was the show that not only introduced them to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but it was also the version of the characters that they grew up with and since it's really been a while since I last reviewed an episode of the show I thought that now was the right time to take another look at an episode from the classic series and sot then join me as I review as the episode that sees Raphael break the fourth wall with the episode in question being called simply just "Plan Six From Outer Space" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Shredder and Krang send Bebop and Rocksteady down to earth from Dimension X to help get them the Channel 6 news building so that they can use it's equipment to get back to earth it's up to the turtles to stop them and there robotic Splinter before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this episodes plot wasn't all that particularly good either as all it was was basically just a set up for the "Vacations In Europe" episodes which where produced for season 4 and take place during season 4 but didn't air until season 7 with this episodes plot being something that is solid enough for this era of the show but at the same time tho given that the live action movie had just came out and had shown kid audiences what a more mature take on the turtles could look like it's weird that this show would just go straight back to sticking with what worked before it with this episode as while yes granted this episode and this season would have been produced sometime before the movie there still should have been some effort to tell a more mature story but do it in a way that works with the 1987 series with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Cam Clarke as Leonardo and Rocksteady and Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop. Also starring in this episode is Rob Paulsen as Raphael and The Clothing Store Owner , Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo Peter Renaday as Splinter / Pretendicon Splinter and Vernon Fenwick , Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil , Pat Fraley as Krang , Burne Thompson , The Channel 6 Security Guard and The Channel 6 Job Interviewer and James Avery as The Shredder and Punk With Knife.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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 is something that's to be expected at this point in time as all of this episodes had been playing there respective characters for the best part of four years at the point in time and there for it would make alot of sense that they really would know how best to perform there characters as well with this really being helped by the fact that all of this episodes actors are a bunch of really good actors in there own right and therefor would be turn in a good performance anyways with even the likes of both Rob Paulsen and Townsend Coleman being voice acting legends with this episode really being a tour de force for actors Cam Clarke and Barry Gordon with both of them really being the true standouts of the episode from an acting point of view as both actors have alot of screen time and really have to carry the whole entire episode as both Bebop and Rocksteady something that surely couldn't have been a really easy task to do from an acting perspective with this episodes really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally something which does really help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is either Hanho Heung-Up Company , Island Animation , Luk Film , Pacific Rim Production , Varga Studio and Wang Film Productions Company. Now then interms 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 the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as even tho it was hard to say which animation company actually did the animation for this episode the quality of the animation was still really high a a late eighties or early nineties TV show and while the animation could have been alot more better in other places there really wasn't any of the series trademark animation errors that plagues the first few episodes of this show but at the same time this episodes animation also quite clearly wasn't the series best looking animation as alot of it just felt like that the animators where just putting only the bare minimum and really nothing more then that as there are shots in this episode where the characters either look like that there on dr*gs or are dead inside and those are issues that really could have been fixed if the artist working on them at the time did another drawing of the scene in question and by the fact that they didn't does say that the whoever was doing the animation whilst they were doing a good job in some places weren't doing a good job in other places as well.

In what was a really strange and bizarre move this episode actually sees Raphael break the fourth wall at least twice in the episode. With the first one being a little bit more subtle as after saying something about a sausage factor he then asks for no one to ask him to say that again but the second one is just straight up not subtle as it's just him having a rant about the writer of the episode not coming up with something original for the turtles to do other then look for pepperoni which just felt so out of place not only for this show but for the character as well as while they were some really funny things to have the character say in the episode neither the character nor the show had really broken the fourth wall yet and as a result of that is the fact that it was strange to see the opening episode of the fourth season of this show do exactly that and while the first one was a bit more subtle as it could be read as the character asking his brothers not to ask him say something that is a it of tongue twister but the second instance is without the shadow of a doubt the character breaking the fourth wall and it's something that really fits this character as this version of the character wouldn't do something like that as neither he nor any of the other characters in this show no that there fictional characters and while it is something that this show could do due to it's more lighthearted approach to the source material and characters from a character point of view it's not something that really makes a whole lot of sense in anyway shape or form.

As was mentioned at the start of this review this episode this episode basically serves as the start for the "Vacations In Europe" episodes from season seven. As the turtles have a few scenes spread throughout the episode where they express there desire to take a vacation somewhere in europe something that they do get to do at the end of episode and yet even tho those batch of thirteen episodes where produced for and are set during this season of the show they for some strange reason aired during the shows seventh season which makes no sense as now this season is without a hook for the rest of the season when it would have made perfect sense to have them air right after this episode and as this episode and a batch of other episodes from this season aired in syndication then the makers of this show could have had them air daily for about a month or two before then going to back to the rest of the episodes that were planned for this season instead of creating a mixed chronology of events where now certain episodes that aired during season 7 now actually took place three years prior to the rest of the season and while they could fix that by having story beats that are payed of in season 7 first get mentioned and set up during those holiday episodes that's not really something that this show had done before now and as a result of that is the fact that it wouldn't make sense for them to do for these batch of episodes either when all they had to do was just air those holiday episodes the day after this episode first aired in syndication.

While this episode does introduce the idea of the turtles having to fight of some sort of clone version of Splinter. The episode really doesn't go all they way with it by having the real Splinter not only meet his robotic self but also have a fight with him or even have the turtles discuss the idea of fighting who they believe to be there father something that would have brought them alot of pain to do and yet the second that the fake Splinter starts acting hostile towards them there ready to go into an fight with him which does seem out of character even for this version of the characters and yet if the makers of this show even took the time to have the turtles discuss if they really should be fighting Splinter first before then going to attack him then it would show that while yes they are willing to fight him there doing it because of the fact that it's right thing to do even tho it's something that could be killing them inside and even if they didn't go that route and instead went the route of having both versions of Splinter meet up either in New York City itself or even in the layer and have those two fight that is something that could be alot of fun for us the audience to watch and it would give Splinter something to do other then show up every now and then which is something that does end up happening in this episode either one would have worked because it would have been using that idea of having a robotic Splinter be used in the right way instead of having the character appear in what could be seen as being some really comedic scenes and that's really it.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and twenty six seconds. Which is a really solid running time for this episode to have as this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this episodes running time really isn't used all that wisely as the plot of the episode really isn't as fully developed as it really could have been so much so that this episodes does feel more like an afterthought in favor of setting up a bunch of episodes that wouldn't air until three years later with the same thing also being true for the idea of having a robot clone version of Splinter as the episode really does nothing with him out of having a few comedic scenes early one and having him fight the turtles at the local zoo and that's really it and when the idea is that good and has that much potential behind it then there really should have been alot more thought and effort put into it to make seem like it's being used to fullest potential with the episode instead choosing to show us more of Bebop and Rocksteady and their comedy antics at the Channel Six news building which granted is related to the main plot but at the same time we're just getting the same scene over and over again with the two characters bumbling there way into a situation band somehow not only getting promoted but scoring high ratings as well and there's only so long that you can see that type of scene before it starts to get old and boring which is something that does happen quite fast in this very episode but I really will admit that this very episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us un this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty not that bad. As alot of this show action is usually pretty goofy and lighthearted with the focus more being on the comedy aspect of things then the action side of the things and while the same thing is also true here as well this episodes action just felt off somehow like it was a bit to goofy and was playing things a bit to safe which is still fine as this is a kids show after all but at the same given that this episode has two action scenes and it's oddly enough the one with the robot clone version of Splinter that's more fun to watch then the actual final fight with Bebop and Rocksteady as at least with the Splinter fight we do get see the turtles fighting in public and using a van as a weapon and we get to see the turtles be forced to think on there feet to try and get even so much as hit in on him which does make that fight scene all the more fun to watch where as with the Bebop and Rocksteady fights it's confined to this one small room with the turtles not even having to try very hard to outwit either Bebop or Rocksteady which just makes that fight comes across as feeling forced and is also a fight scene that could also be seen as also being really rushed as all heck as well as it's one that only happens in quite literally the final few minuets of the show which just makes it all the more worse out of this episode two action scenes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst this episode gets it's title from one of the worst films ever made this episode is actually not that bad but at the same it's quite clearly not all that good either as it just gives the same stuff that worked before in the show with nothing really new added it and that is something that does hold this episode back from being a great episode to watch for both kids and adults as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the  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 really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a gran old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images hat 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 hat I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Nin ja Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki  page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
