My OBSESSION with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the 1990s

[@MyRetroLife]

Were you caught up in the Turtlemania of the Late 80s / Early 90s? Man, what a time to grow up! Hope y'all enjoyed this video. Please leave a comment and let me know your favorite Ninja Turtles memory. TURTLE POWER!

A Great Memory Of Mine Was Getting Tmnt 2 For NES During The X-Mas Season Of 1990 And Finding The Coupon For A Free Personal Pan Pizza From Pizza Hut In The Manual! The Early 90’s Was The Peak Of Tmnt In My Opinion. I’m Happy That I Was Lucky Enough To Experience The Peak Of Tmnt In The Early 90’s.

As a Swede i visited the USA in 1990. I turned 7 while i was there and my parents took me to a toy store and told me i could pick a present i wanted. I had never heard about or seen the TMNT. There were lots of toys and my parents were not impressed when i told them i wanted Donatello and Bebop. They showed me other bigger toys but my mind was set on those two figures. I played with them a lot. A few months later the TMNT were arriving in Sweden toystores. My friends and I saw the first cartoons on rented video. I was absolutely in awe. From 7 to 11 every Christmas and birthday i got TMNT toys. I somehow managed to get my dad to get the real TMNT film om a VHS tape. I watched it so many times. Still to this day it is my favorite movie of all time. My old toys i have given to my children and they have played with them. I have gotten a nes with the TMNT 2 the arcade game and TMNT 1 (and nr 3). And ive showed them the 1990 film. The turtles will always be my favorite toys, film and cartoon.

[@ferretsensei]

I love that your dad thought to record even mundane moments like you playing outside with your cousins, or something as simple as backing out of your driveway. It's almost like he planned to give you a library of B-roll footage knowing you'd go on to make documentaries of your life. Making these videos is the best way ever to pay back the favor. I am so glad I found this channel - not only for the nostalgia vibes but because it tells a beautiful human story

Underrated comment.

[@RoboCop00]

Man, I watched this video with a smile from ear to ear. I was born in 1987 and distinctly remember playing ninja turtles with my friends in the front yard. And the excitement of getting new ninja turtles toys was just totally unmatched. I remember getting a turtle van that had a slingshot on top to shoot slime. My mom used to get mad at me for getting slime in the carpet lol.

I remember being at church hiding underneath the pews playing TMNT on Gameboy. My favorite turtle was Donatello I can still remember waiting in line outside the theater 1 block long. I totally lived turtle mania lol

You and I would have made good friends as kids, because my mom kept buying me Michelangelo toys and stuff, but I only liked Leonardo! lol. I would have traded toys with you and other things, because where I lived most kids had either Raphael or Donatello. I have never understood why most kids did not like Leonardo like me - but it sure was a pain because I could never find a kid who like Mikey and got stuck with Leo toys! :D

[@Blanco8x8]

Videos like these inspire me to be an advocate for children and a champion of their joy. My parents didn't really like Spongebob, but they know it made me and my brothers happy through the 2000s, and I'm grateful they allowed us to indulge in this big chunk of our childhoods. There are things today that kids are obsessed with that would make us cringe. But we have to swallow our pride and just go with it, because it's their time to be happy, and eventually they will thank us for capturing and supporting these precious moments of their youth.

[@MyRetroLife]

[@retrojoe85]

As a child, I was totally obsessed with Raphael too (but in Italy he's called Raffaello, of course). I was a total Turtles-Maniac at that age, at the point that my beloved mom (passed away in September...) allowed me call to the (insanely expensive) official italian Turtles phone line, and she made believe that I've had a chat with...Raphael!

Dude Turtle Mania was one of the best times to be alive in. I remember Ninja Turtles were at a mall and we went to go see them. There was also Mario either the same time, or a different time. I think I have a pic with Mario somewhere. Unfortunately it was 80s cameras so they're not as good lol. Yeah, as I got older I was moving on to other things like Power Rangers and Jurassic Park(movie and toys), I don't think I watched much of the later seasons of the Turtles, I'd say 91-92 was about when I was moving on, but those Turtles will always have a special place in my own heart. I always went for Don in the games 😊

Turtlemania was indeed BIG! Everything about it was perfect for a kid growing up with older brothers. The toys were priced modestly at $3.96 each. So I could actually save up money to buy at least one at Wal-Mart or even two from Kay Bee Toys discount bin. I even remember gifting one at a birthday party I was invited to. The live-action movie just made them alive to me. I knew they were in costumes in the back of my mind, but that was the most believable versions of them in "reality". Those were some fun times!

Why of cooourse you have the most perfect 90s ninja turtle footage. Your dad captured the most quintessential 90s videogame kid childhood of all time. Videos and pics of me in the 90s are a couple birthday parties or stilted family shots. The reality was I was playing tons of games and also obsessing over the ninja turtles etc. Zero footage though. It's great your dad deemed that stuff worthy of documenting. (not that I blame my family for not documenting it. Your dad is very unique in that regard.) An incredible time capsule that so many of us relate to.

Tyler your dad was ahead of his time seriously !!! This guy is right….. to capture and document 📃 I mean it’s amazing the footage of the street dance & even you seeing Leo in costume which I think was a better presented costume than the street performers.

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (as we called it in the UK) was the first TV show I ever remember looking forward to every Wednesday night. I remember being probably 5 or 6 years old at school and getting excited remembering it was on TV that night.

Some specific memories stand out with the Ninja Turtles, is definitely seeing the first movie with my brother and my cousin and thoroughly enjoying it even to this day. Another memory is the year my grandmother won the bingo jackpot which was $1000 and she used that money to spoil us on Christmas presents and I got the Technodrome and a bunch of figures that year. Finally I remember being absolutely obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4 turtles in time for the Super Nintendo and every time we would go into a toy store or a or a big retail store I would head to the video game section and see the box art for TMNT4 and just drooling over it, also begging my parents to buy it for me. That year for Christmas I got the game and I couldn’t be happier.

The arcade game was something surreal, I glued my ears to the machine just to listen to the opening song (where here in Brazil the opening song was cut). I went to see the three films at the cinema, rented all the games, and read all the comics I could.

I was definitely swept in Turtlemania. Transformers stopped with new episodes in 1987 and TMNT quickly took its place. Along with an NES, the games, the toys, the cartoon when it aired all of it. I even saw The Coming Out of Their Shells Tour at both Radio City Music Hall and at Six Flags Great Adventure. I took karate to defend myself against bullies and TMNT, along with Karate Kid, were inspirational for that.

One of the things that I love about this channel, is that it 1000% represents the kind of impact I hope to have on my son. The kind of love and memories that last forever. My sons only a year but loves ninja turtles (fav scene is in the second movie “NEXT TIME ILL USE MUSTARD!!!” I love the my boy, and I believe your dad would as proud of you as I think I already am of my son. You got a fan for life.

TMNT was my favorite of all time. I had clothing, video games, lunch boxes, toys and everything else you can think of that had TMNT. I went to the movies, public appearances and even had all 4 came to a few of my birthday parties. I had almost every toy line up to 2010 of TMNT, but as I grew older I had more responsibilities and it was time for me to let go of the past and move on. So, I sold off my TMNT collection.

Turtles were huge here in Brazil as well. Nostalgia!

Soooooo the dance finished, and my 46 year old self just applauded. Oh my dude....the memories.

[@jeremyjulkowski4844]

I still have about 70% of my original TMNT toy collection. The rest were lost to garage sales. May they RIP!

I love all your videos Tyler. I was born 1979 but your videos bring back so many good memories from my childhood in Sweden.

[@johntynan8161]

yes it was a great time the late 80's and early 90's

[@Danuta84]

I also was obsessed with the Turtles, still have all the original toys form back then.

[@kennethherrick8436]

I was born in 1979. Turtles were pretty big in my house. We had GI Joe's and Turtle battles in our bedroom.

I can't describe the nostalgia that I feel now. From 1989 to 1992 was the period when the Ninja Turtles were the biggest part of my childhood. My bedsheets; pillow covers; Trapper Keepers, my room itself was a shrine to the turtles. I had all the Nintendo games as well. And the movies were so amazing. I remember the song "T-U-R-T-L-E Power" during the ending credits of the first movie and Vanilla Ice singing, " Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go !" in the second one !!

[@1988SUPREME]

I'm 36 years old now, and been a turtle fan growing up and til this day I'm still one. Your videos bring tears of joy and of simpler times.

[@BulldozerBilly]

My older brother was about your age Tyler so I grew up with all his Turtlemania hand me downs. T-shirts, toys, and the movie. Awesome video, love your channel!! ❤️
