Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a 1990 American superhero comedy film based on the comic book characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Directed by Steve Barron and written by Todd W. Langen and Bobby Herbeck, it is the first film adaptation of the characters. The story follows four anthropomorphic mutant turtles who must use their ninja training to save their master and adoptive father Splinter from his long-lost foe the Shredder and his Foot Clan of ninjas. They are aided by their new human allies April O'Neil (Judith Hoag) and Casey Jones (Elias Koteas). The film adapts the early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, with several elements taken from the animated series airing at the time. Filming took place in 1989 in North Carolina and New York City. Many major studios turned down distribution for the film, worrying that it could be a box office disappointment.
