While it's not a definitive history, it's still a thorough and entertaining look at the history of the heroes in a half shell and how they became icons. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 15 Real footage in 1 hour and 38 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more May 5 It was awesome to see inside the lens. See more Michael W @mawilps 09/06/2024 This pop culture documentary was very good. Peter Laird, Kevin Eastman, and the entire crew did a spectacular job on making this documentary about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It gives the viewers an insight of how they were created and what fans didn't know about the Turtles. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. I'm a huge fan of the Turtles and loved this documentary. If you're not a huge fan you'll still enjoy it anyway. See more 04/18/2022 A bit of an underwhelming documentary to be honest. It's nice seeing how what started as a parody of Frank Miller comics became a cultural phenomenon and the people interviewed do go into a ton of detail on the comics, 1987 cartoon, merchandising and 1990 film but it's upsetting that the Definitive History didn't bring up the Ninja Turtles' other adventures post-1990 and never kept my attention as much as other nerd-friendly documentaries seemed to. At least it wasn't a glorified commercial for the Michael Bay-produced reboot film despite the timing. Still bummed we didn't get a third film with those mini-Hulks. See more 08/28/2020 It was refreshing to see how the heroes in a half-shell came to be. And I can say this as a total fan of the series. If you are too, you should watch. See more 09/01/2016 What a great time down memory lane, especially if you never knew how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got started. This is a must watch documentary that's filled with insight and information about our heroes in a half shell. See more Read all reviews
