The original 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon may be one of the most important cartoons in the history of animation. Why? Well, the early 80s brought us Transformers, Voltron, He-Man, Thundercats, and Gi Joe... the holy quinrilogy of all time great cartoons. But it was TMNT who ushered in the next decade of animation dominance, and some would say would achieve a greater cross over success than any of those previous 4. Everybody knew and loved the Turtles. Older fans loved the gritty Black & White comics. Younger guys & gals alike loved the goofiness of the cartoon. And truth be told, looking back on it now it is one of the only toons from that era that I can still watch every episode of. And over the years we have seen cooler and cooler 'new' versions of the show, and I never get mad at all (the new TMNT on Cartoon Network show is a beast). But like anything great, there must be some flubs and mistakes. I always like watching animation mistake reels, because you never notice this stuff when watching the shows in the first run. Cinemassacre takes the time to honor the great show and also show us what they believe are the top 20 flubs in the history of the show. Get ready for trip back to the 80s... Turtle Power!!!!!
That was fantastic! But these guys have too much time on their hands!
