Original movie + trailer

*BigApple3AM* · 05-28-2006, 06:09 PM

I was watching the original movie on DVD and after watching the movie I watched the trailer. I just now realized that it's all different voices, not just for the turtles but for shredder and the foot. There's even some footage that didn't make the movie like the turtles in the water with their shells up.

I thought the trailer was pretty good actually. Some of the voices were bad but I liked Leo's voice more. Mike's I love being a turtle sounded awful though.

I sat down and really watched the movie today, seen it like a billion times but I don't think I ever sat down and studied as an adult like I did today. I think it still holds up, but man did they reallly make Leo a dork. Even as a kid I hated the bathtub scene where his voice is cracking and he's acting like a total fruit. Rewatching the movie made me wonder why me, or any kid for that matter, chose Leo as a favorite. Even in the cartoon he was dorky (well in later episodes like Leonardo lightens up).

Although Leonardo is still my favorite, if nothing but the fact that he was all through childhood and I'm a tool for comfortability and hate change, I think Raph stole the show.

Anyone notice how Donny got the star treatment what with Corey Feldman voicing him and Ernie Reyes Jr being inside the suit (I didn't think it was a big deal but they made it seem so in the credits listing him aside like they did for Feldman, and they also made him a main character in the second movie) and yet they hardly used him in the movie.

Well, 16 years later and I still love it, that has to mean something.

Edit: I think Leo got a cooler role in the new cartoon, but he still retains some of the dorkiness. I'm hoping the new movie will maybe make him more of a leader rather than a whiner.
