TMNT 1990 Questions
Hi everyone,
Last night I sat down to watch this classic with my wife, and I noticed a few things. Could anyone help me clear them up?
I absolutely adore this film. Just noticed more this time. What do you guys make of the points?

Not an entire story, no, but April was supposed to say during her art sequence that he was having an especially hard time being without his master. He'd be shown in the barn, giving hell to a punching bag. I wanna say I read/heard that certain parties felt this was out of character for him, being he's the comedy relief, & that's why it was cut. Yes, that was him on the roof.
If Shredder has more than one cut it's safe to say he was cut more than once.

Hmm.. I want to do some digging and see what I can find on the Mikey cut scenes and see what I can find.

Seems a shame to have cut it out. I understand he's the party dude, but there it looked like some strong characterisation cut out.

All you've got to do is read the comic adaption to see what it would've been.

There are also a few scanned script pages posted on this forum that have the cut Mikey farm sequence. April sketch props were made for the Mike scene, as well.

Indeed:
No doubt they'd have used the second one.

Good to see the sketch though, thanks. It set me off on a google, where I found the four original sketches had been auctioned a few years ago. What I'd have given to have that Leo sketch! I did a search for the script pages but nothing came up. I'll look on the net but if anyone could post a link that would be great

There are repros of the Leo sketch on eBay if that strikes your fancy.

I remember Nostalgia Critic talking about Mikey ignoring Don talking about Splinter being gone and he speculated that the thought of Splinter being gone is so painful, Mikey would rather not think about it. During the campfire scene you see Mikey cry the hardest at well and it's a good theory.

They clearly didn't show the whole fight because he was cut twice. It might've been Raph or a swift Bow strike to tear it. Who knows, I'm sure they weren't going to show every single blow landed on the Shredder (Unless if he was only *hit* twice). Either way really enjoy the Final fight in this movie.

that always bothered me from the very first time seeing the movie! what were they thinking??? and i never really understood the decision to swap out the solo fight with Leo versus the Foot Clan with Raph? some people say it was a reason to get Casey to show up to the Second Time Around during the Foot attack. but it's usually never questioned when Casey shows up in Mirage V1 issue 10.

but it's all moot at this point, just like wishing the film had less Danny!

It could've been worse. At the time the first movie came out, Mikey was the one all the kids were nuts over. We could have had HIM be the "starring Turtle" of the film and they'd have every excuse to do so, since his jokes and catchphrases were about 7/10s what kids watched the show for in the first place.
Original Film Series Mikey is my favorite Mikey by far, but... yeah, that would've been awful. Frankly, as the Team Leader, Leonardo should by default be the main character to get focused on, but little kids don't like the whole "Big Brother" thing so I understand why he always has to play second-fiddle to "The Rage" and "The Nitwit", since those are just the right kind of one-note archetypes that kids and teens relate to. And cartoons and movies can't have "characters", especially in a team scenario. Everyone has to have "A Role". Leo's not flawed enough to focus on, so his "role" is to be "boring", by way of actually having his sh*t together and helping everyone get things done, and since that's not "colorful" or "exciting" enough he mostly "leads" from just off to the side of the screen. Pisses me off but whattyagonnado.

You can find it online if you know where to look.

It's one of my favorite versions of TMNT, as well as being among the most-ignored by the general public, thus proving my point thoroughly from both ends.
