The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is returning to cinemas for its 35th Anniversary
Legions of fans of the superhero movie and new audiences will delight in the shared theatrical experience of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book adaptation starring Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael that caused a pop culture craze upon its 1990 premiere, and now offers longtime fans the chance to introduce their kids to the original movie that started it all, back on the big screen.
A new featurette, Turtles Unmasked, will be screened before the movie, which includes never-before-seen archival footage, extended deleted scenes, and behind-the-scenes home movie footage as well as commentary from the film’s director, Steve Barron. Turtles Unmasked was produced in collaboration with the creators of TMNT: Evolution, Mutation & Reboot.
The voice cast of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – the first live-action movie in the franchise – included Brian Tochi (Revenge of the Nerds, Police Academy 3: Back in Training) as Leonardo, Corey Feldman (Stand By Me, The Goonies) as Donatello, Josh Pais (The Station Agent, A Beautiful Mind), as Raphael, Robbie Rist (Balto, “Doc McStuffins”) as Michelangelo and Kevin Clash (“Sesame Street,” Muppet Treasure Island) as Splinter, the Turtles’ master.
Judith Hoag and Elias Koteas co-starred as the Turtles’ allies April O’Neil and Casey Jones, respectively.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be re-released in US cinemas on August 17 and 20 via Fathom Entertainment, Saga Arts, and Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group.
