Damn like others said here I feel old too. One of my first memories of going to the movies was seeing TMNT. never gonna forget watching those on the big screen!

I can recall watching tmnt II in the theater but can't remember watching the first one but my mother told me before that she brought me to the theater to watch it.

But to be honest after watching it again (when I grew older) I hardly remember the plot, scenes and characters that were involved in the movie. I didn't even know Casey Jones was on it!

Nope, haven't seen a single one in theaters, I was only 2 when the first one came out.

That and when him and leo rolled on the rooftop then split with leo coming up with a round house is really all I remember, but it was still great. As for the 2007 movie I thing I seen that movie 12 times before it left the theaters. Everyone knows what a turtle buff I am so it seemed like every other day someone was wanting me to go watch it with them, and who am I to say no to a free turtle movie? Lol.....

That was Raph.

Saw the first one twice in the theaters when I was around eleven.
Seen every other one after that in the theaters too.

I saw TMNT 2007 opening day and I saw an original 35mm film of TMNT 2 SOTO at Alamo Drafthouse in Dallas at Jared's Epic party a week or so ago.

coreyrc87 · 03-04-2014, 02:55 PM

I remember wanting to see the first two in theaters, but my parents thought I was too young. I did see the third, though, but left about halfway through. I don't remember why exactly, but I do know the first whole movie I saw in theaters was The Lion King. lol

I went on opening day for the first Turtles, and they were passing out little Turtle plush dolls. I got Leo, and still have him to this day.

Ha, I got the VHS as a birthday present the following year (back then, you had to wait nearly a year or more before major movies hit the home market) I would watch that damn thing every day after school. I still have that too (I got all of the 90 movies on VHS, but they are now just put up as collector items since I upgraded to DVD)

*BabyTurtles* · 03-04-2014, 10:17 PM

...I wasn't alive when the first movie came out....and I didn't see the others ether cause...still just a baby/toddler....

All my old school VHS were given away to the local library because my did wanted to get rid of all of them Cuz dvds, which sucks but at the same time I have all the movies almost all the 80s show on dvd. I which they would re-release the 2k3 show on dvd properly. but i watched the crap out of my turtles lol had them all on VHS as a kid and watch all of them often lol.

Yeah I was 5 in 87 and watching the Turtles was like watching the moon landing or something. It was just so ridiculously awesome that words can't really express how fun it was to be a kid. I'm sure most generations feel that their cartoons and pop culture was the best but I really do think that the 80s shows and that age of cartoons is the standard that set the stage for all that would come after it. People forget that you didn't have as many options to watch cartoons like you do now. So for a show to really last it had to develop a following or it would quickly be gone. TMNT was an absolute cultural phenomenon and I think that even if this Nick show lasts for 5 or 6 years it still won't match the original wave of Turtle Mania. That's not to take anything away from it. I'm just using that to bolster the fact that the 87 popularity was absolutely off the charts.

I only saw TMNT in the cinemas when I was 13. I remember enjoying it, but I haven't seen the movie since then. I really should watch it again

*Galactus* · 03-05-2014, 01:20 PM

Seen all four movies in theatres or cinemas as we call them here in the UK.

I actually won a competition that I didn't know I'd entered just by buying one of the toys. The prize was to see the first showing of the first movie in my area which was pretty cool.

*Plasticplayhouse* · 03-05-2014, 01:45 PM

i saw them all in theaters. the first one was mind blowing for me at the time. to date, it is still my fondest movie going memory. #2 was decent, #3 i could care less.

*ProactiveMan* · 03-05-2014, 06:26 PM

I saw Turtles I and II in the theatre, but not III for some reason. I remember the first one vividly; it pretty much blew my head off. I would have been nine at the time, and I had no idea how special effects worked, so the Turtle costumes were like magic. I knew they were suits, but they seemed so completely real.

I can't remember much about seeing The Secrete of the Ooze, except that it was sold out when we tried to see it the first time, and had to come back a few days later.

I saw Turtles III for the first time on VHS and I was not impressed.
