“Cowabunga!” They’re lean, green, and on the screen! The ORIGINAL live-action version of the popular comic book/cartoon adventure. Four radioactively mutated, crime-fighting turtles use their martial arts skills to clean up the streets of New York City. Named for Renaissance painters (don’t ask), these fun- loving heroes enjoy fighting almost as much as they enjoy eating pizza. (“I love being a turtle!”)
