I'll always have a special place in my heart for the Imagi movie.
The plot was full of holes, and not all the characterization was perfect, but in my mind that only made it closer to the source material.
And the animation!
Oh man, for the first time the turtles moved like they were supposed to. I'll never forget how stoked I was with that first trailer. I lost count of the number of times I watched that damn thing.
And Mako as Splinter? That was damn inspired casting.
While I'll forever be sad the movie didn't have more Breakfast and rooftop-fight scenes, it's nice for what it is.
Warts and all.
