I don't think the movie mutagen works the same way as the OT's mutagen. Proff. Perry said that the ooze was just a bunch of random chemicals that got exposed to high doses of radiation, giving it mutagenic properties ( basically just plan old, radioactive waste). The Utroms in the original comics said it was just a waste by-product of their technology. Only in the OT, was the mutagen designed to create mutation.

It was still scientific. Originally it caused the affected person or animal to grow. It was changed for the 1987 cartoon so Splinter could start as Hamato Yoshi instead of his pet rat.

I don't think it was designed to mutate. I remember Shredder trying to use it to kill Hamoto Yoshi in the sewers.
