The Turtles

RealMedia: Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles


Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles

A heavily criticised cartoon from America about four turtles who once belonged to a little boy but ended up being covered in radioactive gunge. They turned into the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if you're in America - Ninja was thought too violent for the British audience).

The turtles live in the sewers with rat mentor Splinter, who trained them for their missions. They ate pizza and shouted "Cowabunga Dudes" a lot.

Leonardo was the quiet one, Donatello the funny one, Michaelangelo the crazy one and Raphael was the strong one - but who cared, they all look the same.
