I mean he and Jim Henson worked together on his fantasy stuff.

I mean the film was a Henson production you know and i was wondering if he did Shredder suit, Splinter and turtle designs?

Brian Froud didn't work on any of the Turtle movies.
I don't think it would've been his cup o' tea. :)

And Jim Henson really wasn't too keen on working on the movie either until his son Brian talked him into it.
Sorry I guess everyone could really thank Brian Henson for the great old school TMNT films.

I don't actually like the look of them that much. Although I like the films, Raphael in particular really bothers me. IMO.

a Henson is a Henson , and really can you blame Jim, he wanted to work on things sorta not kid related plus it was around the time of his sickness that would ultimately kill him

I thought it was nice that Henson was doing something different than Muppets.

I mean he gave us fantasy classic films like Dark Crystal and Labyrinth to the underrated The Witches and the show Storyteller.

Who thinks Tonkka looked kind of like a Skecksis? and who thinks Froud is an amazing designer?

Sad that this movie with Witches and Dinosaurs (first season) were the last things Henson did before his death.

I don't think it's sad- TMNT '90 will stand as a tribute to his genius and talent for as long as the TMNT exist. What's sad is that we lost him too soon. Imagine what else he might have done with what he learned from making this movie!
