What does Peter Laird think of the direction TMNT took in since he sold it?

Luckily for me, my love of the 1990 film increases everytime I watch it. I think the Baron cut would be the film in it's pure form, but I'm pretty damn happy with the film we got, despite a few small hang-ups.

It'd be cooler if the turtles were raised as assassins to take on Saki, but what they have works fine. It has all the heart you could want, nails the characters, a mostly faithful story, with a nice dose of grit and grunge from the comics - and that's including the script down to the grainy camera lens - it feels independent just like those early Mirage books.

I love that damn movie.
