It's pretty sad that this TMNT Power Rangers episode is the only TMNT thing on Netflix streaming.

I have had this song stuck in my head for two days. I originally voted for Turtle Tunes I now wish I could switch it to the Christmas Special

I think biggest flaw in BTTS was the craptastic animation. Most of the episodes are pretty good plot wise but the animation is horrible. Lots of misscoloring and reusing same scenes that really don't make sense when you see characters in the background who aren't even in that scene.

Those....lyrics...who wrote them? Dolores O'Riordan?

Anyway, COOTS is by far the worst thing made, but considering its target audience it's not too surprising.

I went with the Christmas special. TMNT Movie III and Next Mutation have enough entertainment throughout it to help it all out, I enjoyed these two despite how bad they were.
Out of Their Shells Concert was a cute idea, and I bet a lot of kids that did go to the concerts had a blast and have great memories of being a kid and watching a bunch of green dudes on stage.
Turtle Tunes is funny, the Christmas Special is scary.

For me it's easily Turtles 3. The level of disappointment I got from that movie was higher then any of the other stuff, which I expected to suck. Plus it's not buried. You have to dig to find those other things. Turtles 3 is in your face. Everytime you see the turtles in the movie section it's in that boxset with the other 3 films. They even released some figures with it awhile back. Guess they didn't want to give them a good movie. Not like there weren't 2 others to package it with.

Everytime I open the box set to watch a movie I got to look at the mislabeled disk. Worst of all, it looks the best on Bluray of the 3 live action films. The biggest waste of Bluray disk space ever.

Indeed. I think most people hating on Coming Out Of Their Shells are going by the poorly-made videocassette, not the "pretty ok for a novelty record about TMNT" album and program booklet sold through Pizza Hut. "Sing About It" and "You Can Count On Us" are awesome. "Walk Straight" and some of the others, not so much. Even "Skippin' Stones" wasn't that bad, and at least Splinter got a moment. I will pay money to anyone who can provide me a CD copy of this, preferably with artwork. I know they never released it on CD, but I also know how many people are very devoted and have too much free time. I'm serious. Cash money. I wore out my cassette.

Plus, I saw the live concert at Six Flags as a kid and it was AWESOME, so suck it. I know the whole concept seems corny, but seriously, you had to be there. FAR from the worst thing attached to TMNT over the years. Some of the songs on that record are better than some of the theme songs from the cartoons and tv shows, seriously.

I almost voted Next Mutation as a gut reaction, THEN I remembered the Turtle Tunes and Turtle Christmas ones. Dear god. I had to think hard to decide, as I rented them on the same day as a kid and watched them back to back, excited to watch something TMNT-related I had never seen. That excitement was short-lived, to put it gently. That. Sh*t. SUCKED. I could see them working on some Barney-like level where it can only be enjoyed by someone who has a load in their pants while watching it, but otherwise it just blasphemes against everything about TMNT that isn't cringeworthy.

Turtle Tunes gets the vote for being pointless in EVERY way imaginable, from concept to execution. Turtle Christmas was no better, but I've always had a soft spot for Christmas parody songs, and at least the Christmas theme gave it a point. Turtle Tunes was just utter nonsense that was so bad it never seemed to end. Torture.

I liked the music from Coming Out of their shells alright as a kid, but the concert video was bad!

Why is Image not an option? That run is horrible and far from what we know the turtles as today.

Turtle Tunes and We Wish You A Turtles Christmas should be lumped together as an option and IMHO TMNT III does not deserve to be on the list like Image does and should win.

Gotta agree here, TMNT 3 isn't nearly as bad as any of the others listed.

I do think the uncanny valley magical girl super anime turtles are the worst, though.
