Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Pizza Hut And Dominos) In MTV's article on the history of pizza product placement in TMNT movies, they bring up that Pizza Hut had a tie-in with the VHS of the movie where a coupon would come with it and an advert would play before the movie starts.

Originally, Splinter was a vengeance-consumed rat who gained human-level sentience through accidental mutation, and when he found the four mutant turtles, he didn't raise them with love as his adopted sons, he raised them to be killers.

Donatello's bo staff and Leonardo's katana are popular ninja weapons because they're easily concealed and were accessible for samurais. The sai, Raphael's weapon of choice, was commonly used as a farming tool and was not considered to be a traditional Okinawan weapon that shinobi would use.

The Turtles Were Teenagers, So They Were Relatable These days, most superheroes or heroes, in general, are grown-ups, which gives the younger audience something to look up to, but it was special that the heroes kids idolized were supposed to be a few years older than them.

Each gofu gives the Turtles new powers, tethers them to the spirit world, and allows them to sense one another. The five elements are fire, water, wood, metal, and earth, and each plays off the other, generating one another, and having both opposing and complementary effects.

The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series that ran from 1987 to 1996 is officially headed to Nickelodeon. Per Variety, the Paramount-owned Nickelodeon - current owner of the TMNT franchise - has secured the global rights to the original '80s television series produced by Fred Wolf Films.

So they're pretty much as fictional as fictional characters can get. TIME explained how the story's creators Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman came up with the concept when the first Ninja Turtles movie came out in 1990: One night in 1983 - and neither can remember why - inspiration struck.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' weapons reflect their personalities and were assigned by their father, Splinter, to teach them important lessons and skills. Raphael's twin sai forces him to apply his strength with precision, teaching him discipline and patience.

While the Turtles love pizza, they have never risked their lives for it. Obviously there is an added layer of passion over breakfast cereal than the Turtles have over pizza, proving that they have a greater love for the boxed breakfast goodies than they do for a hot slice of pie.

In that series, each turtle is a different species: Leonardo is a red-eared slider, Raphael a snapping turtle, Donatello a softshell turtle and Michelangelo a box turtle. As red-eared sliders were kept as pets, they began to be released or escaped into their environments.

Turtles are frequently depicted in popular culture as easygoing, patient, and wise creatures. Due to their long lifespan, slow movement, sturdiness, and wrinkled appearance, they are an emblem of longevity and stability in many cultures around the world.
