These are the first classic animated episodes that tell the origination of Leonardo Michaelangelo Raphael and Donatello. Once tiny pet store turtles an accident hurtles them into the city sewer where mutant goo transforms them into something... well something else! Fighting for good against the malevolent Shredder and his Technodrome these pizza-eating daredevils are a funny phenomenal foursome.System Requirements: Running Time 93 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: NR Age: 5 UPC: 012236119135 Manufacturer No: 11913 Amazon.com: The 1987 debut season of the wildly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' first animated TV series finally arrives in its entirety on this single disc. And while it's a pleasure to have these long-unavailable episodes in DVD format, the set's lackluster presentation and paltry extras also make it a disappointment for those hoping for a more expansive release. Volume One contains the five-episode "miniseries" that comprised the debut season and explained the Turtles' origins; the episodes are presented with opening and closing credits, though offered as single chapters on the disc. The "bonus" material is four episodes from the series' tenth and final season, which were largely unseen in the U.S. (though some U.K. viewers may have caught them). While interesting from a completist perspective, their inclusion clashes somewhat with the first-season episodes, as the series' look and tone had changed considerably by this point. And when combined with the disc's overall lack of quality picture and sound (video masters appear to have been used), Volume One represents something of a missed opportunity for TMNT fans; however, having the first season on a single disc may be an acceptable trade. --Paul Gaita Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The last 4 Seasons on DVDI have collected The first 6 volumes of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, including Seasons Four, Five, and Six, and they were totally awesome! Many fans are worrying about the missing episodes, "Once Upon a Time Machine", and "Planet of the Turtleoids" Part 1 and Part 2, and I wish they will included as bonuses in future releases. Season 7 should be the sideseason which took place between episodes 66 and 67, while the Technodome is in Dimension X, and the season that chronologically began at ...

That is one of my favorite lines from "Turtle Tracks" I would recommend getting this if you want to complete the original series. Rating: - Takes me backThis DVD is just what I was looking for. I grew up watching the original Ninja Turtles cartoons. I liked the subtle anime style they used in the first few episodes. Rating: - back when the turtles were coolFive stars for the show. ZERO for the DVD. there was obviously NO effort put into it. such a classic show deserves better treatment than this. the episodes dont even have chapters. you have the play all button, and the episodes are chapters themselves. the video is slightly grainy at times, but nothing to serious. you get 4 "bonus" episodes from the shows later seasons which are just terrible. anyway, on with the positive. can anybody name one childrens series from '87 thats still so successful today? ... Read More Rating: - What a great DVD!People should stop complaining about the quality of the video on the dvd. I like the old feel it has to it and if half the people here had any sense of nostalgia they would to. As for the episodes contained on the disk, the first 5 are awesome. The other ones I do sort of remember but the most I remember about them is how much they sucked! I hope you will buy this dvd anyways despite its quality so F.H.E. will get the point and start putting out a better collection. |
