The designs of the Turtles is proof to never trust Kevin Eastman

Upset SOME parents. Mine thought it was an affirmation that things for kids don't have to be JUST for kids. They liked the cartoon as a "ha ha, kids like goofy sh*t and this isn't bad" kind of thing, but enjoyed the film as a genuinely good movie. I've even screened it for people in their 50s and 60s who never knew about the cartoon, or heard of it but never saw it, mostly parents whose kids were into other stuff, and the movie plays well to them, too.

Only a small, but vocal group of parents really complained about the first movie's violence or tone. And they were the type who'd complain about skirts going above the ankle. Sadly, they tend to write letters while sane people just go "eh".
