Or she's just being honest.

And if she had said she disliked the movie you would have rolled your eyes and just said "she was the daughter of Peter Laird, what did you expect?"

I don't think he liked it very much. Or maybe he's just "meh" about it; the bloke's moved on from TMNT.

Yeah, I don't see why she couldn't be honest about it. The Turtles don't belong to her father anymore, so how could criticism of the movie damage her father's reputation? I'm sure she's being honest. After all her father created the Turtles, so she'll probably always associate the Turtles with him. Man, imagine if your parents created a big comic book character like Batman or something. How could would that be?

You'd think. Most people, though, at least when they're kids, don't care what they're parents did; they're their parents, so they're "lame". Most children of famous people don't gain any actual appreciation for their parents' accomplishments until they're adults themselves. And by then it's not like they "grew up" with their parents' creations or accomplishments - even though they literally did, closer than most people; but they're oblivious to it, because no matter what, when you're a kid, "Daddy's Work Is Boring".
Seems silly, but I'm constantly reading about the now-grown children of celebrities and how they were completely oblivious to their parents' accomplishments when they were younger. Kids having complete disinterest in their parents is universal. So now that his daughter is older, she probably has more awareness of what her Dad accomplished, but it still probably doesn't mean the same thing to her/them as it does for everyone else. So, while you'd think being Peter's daughter may have endeared her more to the TMNT property, I don't think so. Since Pete himself has stopped justshort of saying in the past that he doesn't really like TMNT, I doubt he made it a big deal at home. Other than being rich, I doubt his family cares much about TMNT. That's how it usually goes with these things.

But yeah, teenagers tend to consider their folks as the most boring people in the world at some point or another. |

Well obviously there's exceptions, I've just never seen/heard/read any. All I've ever seen, is creators/celebrities with kids who say, "My kids completely don't care what I'm doing, the mere fact that I'm involved makes it boring/awful for them," or the kids themselves when they're older saying that that's how they acted as kids. "I'd rather be caught dead than enjoying anything my parents worked on", etc.
Mathematically, statistically, there would have to be exceptions. They just don't seem to ever pop up.

I think a big exception might be the children of sports athletes. |

I honestly don't think it's about that at all, it's just that kids, in general, don't care what their parents do, famous or otherwise.
I remember when Elvira finally got an action figure and she was all excited about it, and the person interviewing her asked if her (then-young) daughter would be excited as well, and Cassandra/Elvira said something like, "I'm just a boring old lady to her, she doesn't care what I'm involved with". I just think it's a generation gap issue more than a "my famous parents weren't around or were too busy for me" issue.

He's expressed a positive opinion about versions he wasn't involved in. Heck when you actually get him to talk about it he's not really as negative about the Fred Wolf show as most people think. Quote:
It's just not in his nature to criticize any version particularly if he stands to gain from it. I also think it's easier for him to take a blase attitude to everything turtle related when he divorced himself a lot sooner than Laird did but I'd imagine if he had the power he'd do things differently. Quote:
I suspect he's keeping quiet until a time putting his opinion out there wont cause a big stir. Of course I could be wrong and he's legitimately waiting for the DVD and eager to let everyone know his opinion. |

I guess Peter Laird must not be too eager to review the movie, or maybe he's just busy, since the DVD and Blu-Ray discs have been out since Dec. 16 and nothing has been posted about it...yet?
I'm still waiting for the impending explosive information to be posted on the forums. ...At least whatever reactions come from it, will be more contained now within this new sub-forum. A teaser for the climatic event on 'Drome Place: |

Needed to bump this thread, Because a post from it was shown in a youtube video talking about the controversy surrounding the making of the 2014 movie, And my post was shown in the video.
