All these years I never thought about it but it just occurred to me that the voice of Shredder in the 80s was Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince.
so the movie's on YouTube http://theanimelounge.com/f17/12578/ have watched half of it, pretty good stuff so far
I liked it EDIT: just got done watching, that was very enjoyable, didnt really follow the 03-09 series, but still awesome to see the '87 TMNT alive and well Spoiler after about the 3rd/4th "What the shell?", it got pretty redundant would've been cool to see the movie "dimension" of them, live or the CGI the orgin TMNT was a good homage to the comic book series with all the legal issues, this isn't something you see everyday with rehashed products, and it was a joy to watch, I'd definitely buy the DVD if its ever released to go along with my TMNT trilogy and TMNT 07 collection.
I liked it too. Mostly for being a better representation of the TMNT comics world than any other adaptation, seeing April in a film without the stupid reporter gimmick, the iconic Leo/Raph tension, the late Mako's voice acting, and finally getting to see one of my fav characters (Karai) on the big screen. A lot of people liked it. There's a reason the Nostalgia Critic took such a beating from his fans after panning it (Hell, he almost had to post a retraction, lol). Anyway, I found the entire "Turtles Forever" movie posted on youtube here (2nd playlist). Also, there's a playlist of deleted scenes (audio only) too.
