Hyah! Yaa-hoi! Cowabunga! Not one of you broke through my defense.
What is your excuse, students? Well, actually, I've been feeling kind of down lately.
And I've been feeling boxed in.
Now that you pin us down to it, I think we need a vacation, master.
A vacation? For sure, we're totally tuckered out turtles.
Hmm, your lack of fighting skills has convinced me.
Perhaps you do need a vacation.
All right! Malibu beach, here we come! Uh-uh, the Smithsonian museum.
I say the war museum.
Las Vegas is where the action is.
Las Vegas? Yeah, come on! You may have your vacation If you can agree on where to spend it.
I knew there was a catch to it.
Afternoon, ma'am.
Lovely day to sit in the park, isn't it? It certainly is, officer.
[LAUGHING.]
So this is planet earth.
Hmm.
Now, let's see what the travel guide has to say about this strange place.
"Don't drink the h2o.
" Yes.
"Tip all waiters 15% and be sure to compliment earthlings on their pets.
" Oh, hello, there.
That certainly is a cute pet you have.
Does she bite? Aah! Hold it right there, you--you Whatever it is you are.
Oh, my.
An earthling authority figure.
Wait till the folks back on polaris see this one.
They'll never believe it.
Ooh, so many photo opportunities.
It's a good thing I brought plenty of videotape.
WOMAN: Channel 6 news.
What's that? Your mother-in-law disappeared? Oh! Could you hold, please? Channel 6 news.
Your house vanished? Please hold.
Channel 6 news.
Irma, can't you clear the switchboard? I've got important business calls to make.
I'm trying, Mr.
Thompson, but people's things keep on disappearing.
Do it! Do it! Do it! Or the next thing that disappears will be your job.
Good going, Irma.
You sure know how to tick the old man off.
I'll show you how to handle these crank calls.
Channel 6 news.
What's that? City hall has disappeared? What are you, some kind of wise guy? Yes, Mr.
mayor.
Right away, Mr.
mayor.
UhWrong number.
Did you hear that, Irma? City hall is missing.
Now, this sounds like a big story.
April! Where are you going? To take some pictures while there's something to take pictures of.
Man, on TV: Numerous tourist attractions and other landmarks have been mysteriously disappearing throughout the city.
So far there's been no explanation for this strange phenomenon.
Vanishing tourist attractions can only mean one thing-- a visit by the polarisoids.
The polarisoids? The most obnoxious tourists in the entire galaxy.
They have cameras that don't just take pictures of their vacations, it takes their entire vacations back with them to polaris.
Hmm, we might make use of their visit, krang.
Meaning what? Meaning with a polarisoid camera, we could capture the turtles in a flash.
Ooh, excellent idea.
I'm glad I thought of it.
Find the polarisoid and bring me that camera.
Rock steady, bebop, come with me.
We're going polarisoid hunting.
What a waste of time.
There's no story here.
Those people look just like ordinary tourists.
Aah! Aah! Aah! Oh, poor, timid earthlings.
They must be camera shy.
Wow! Talk about somebody from out of town.
I wonder if there's any connection between that alien and things disappearing.
Hmm, the nebulans must be frequent visitors to this planet.
Why else would they put up a statue of one? Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs here! Get 'em while they're red hot! Oh, no! It's shredder! I'd better let the turtles know about this.
April to turtles.
Come in, turtles.
I still say we ought to spend our vacation soaking up culture.
Oh, I'd rather soak up some rays at Malibu.
Come in, turtles! It's an emergency! Yes, April, what is it? You'll like this.
It's a typical earth nosh.
Ooh, yes, it is rather tasty.
I'm at fountain square, and so is shredder! Hurry! Did you say shredder? We're on our way! Say, why don't I take a picture of you posing with a couple of typical earthlings? I just happen to have a few handy.
Hi, there.
Welcome to our friendly planet.
Ooh, good idea.
I never get pictures of myself on vacation.
Wait till the folks back home see this one.
They'll be pink with envy.
Say cheese.
Cheese! [GASPS.]
Everyone disappeared! So that's what's been happening to the buildings.
The camera works! Now all I have to do is find those blasted turtles.
Ah, my wish is granted.
Surrender, shredder.
Yeah, dude.
You're outnumbered.
Get the picture? That's exactly what I intend to do.
Smile, turtles, you're on vanishing camera.
I've got to do something.
Whoa! I give him a 4.
8 on that dive.
Everybody into the pool! Surf's up, compadres! What incredible footage for the 11:00 news! Shredder and the turtles head to head.
So, you want water games, huh? Take this, you wretched reptiles.
Oh! Try again, creepola! Hey! You're all washed up, tin-grin.
Not quite.
Whoa! Au revoir, mutants, till we meet again.
Aha! The alien camera.
Give it up, shredder.
Surrender! Not on your life.
I prefer to capture the moment forever.
[CLICK CLICK.]
Blast! It must be out of videotape! Looks like you've overexposed yourself, rustbrain.
Yeah.
Why not come along peacefully? As usual, I have a better idea.
[COUGHING.]
I can't see! He's gone.
Bummer, dudes.
I hate people who smoke and run.
Shredder's got that alien camera! And all those famous landmarks are trapped inside it! Great.
Maybe he'll take a self-portrait.
At least he left me my own camera.
So it shouldn't beautiful total waste, fellas.
How about an interview with the turtles? [SIRENS WAIL.]
Sorry, April.
Yeah, they're playing our song.
Whoa, time for us to boogie.
I better get this videotape to channel 6.
I would have brought back the turtles and that meddling reporter if this blasted camera hadn't run out of videotape.
Excuses, excuses.
Where are those cretins bebop and rock steady? In here along with that polarisoid and half the city's landmarks.
Good.
Keep them in there.
I want to remember them always that way.
Wait a minute.
What's this? "Made in Taiwan"? You metal-masked moron, you brought me the wrong camera.
That meddling reporter must have picked up the real one.
Shredder, you numbskull ninja! I'm warning you-- bring me that polarisoid camera or else! April, well, it's about time, miss star reporter.
Your segment goes on the air in 30 seconds.
Vernon, it was worth waiting for.
I've got a dynamite exclusive on the disappearing landmark story.
Hmm.
It had better be good.
Panic grips the city tonight as landmarks disappear without a trace.
Channel 6's own April O'Neill has brought us exclusive footage on this late-breaking story.
Hey, guys! We're going to be on the boob tube! Help! Help! Boss! It's rock steady and bebop.
Who gave those guys their own show? Hey, violence sells.
Let me out! We'll be good! We mean it! Calling all cars! Calling all cars! I'm trapped in here with a bunch of innocent subjects.
How's my hair? Do the seams show? Oops! I'm on! Hello there.
We ran the wrong tape.
It seemed to be a rerun of science fiction theater.
The heck it was! That was the alien's video! Which means that April's got his camera! Turtles, you must recover that alien camera before shredder discovers what has happened.
You're right, master.
Let's go, fellas! They have much courage, but not the best of table manners.
Well, Vernon, what did you think of my tape? Old TV horror shows are not news, April.
Old TV horror shows? What are you talking about? What? Hey, who turned on the light? Shredder! I have come for my camera.
Now, be good enough to hand it over.
Your camera? This is my camera! I said hand it over! My time is valuable! Grrr! What's that? It's a great big dog, dude.
What's it look like? Ruff! Ruff! Bark! Oh, I could do a birdie, too.
Wanna see? Here-- tweet, tweet! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Idiotic shadow tricks! Turtles, fight with honor! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Eee-yah! Roll cameras! Ha ha! I've always wanted to say that.
What? What? You'd better surrender, shredder.
You can't stop all four of us.
Right, turtles? Right.
Right.
Right.
What action! I've got to get this on tape! April, don't use that camera! Don't! What happened? They all just disappeared.
There's something written on this thing.
"Made in Alpha centauri"? It's the alien camera! April calling splinter! Come in, splinter! Oh, please come in! Whoa.
Most excellent ride, dudes.
Where are we? What is this place? I hate to say it, but we're inside the camera.
Oh, swell.
We've been shutter mugged.
Adios, reptiles! Shredder's getting away! After him! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh, wow! This dude took pictures of everything! Shred-head overboard! Try this on for size.
Whoa! Way to go, Donatello! I'll bet you pitch a radical round of horse shoes.
We've got you this time, shredder.
There's no way out.
Here, boss! Grab hold of this! Farewell, mutants.
Or have I already said that? After him, guys! What goes up-- well, you know the rest of it.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! This guy sure took some weird photos.
You ok, Donatello? You look kind of weird.
Yeah, I'm ok.
Seeing that manhole just made me kind of homesick.
Greetings, primitive life forms! He's talking about you.
Listen mister, you've got to let all your pictures return to the real world.
You've got innocent people trapped in here.
Not to mention innocent turtles.
But I'm a tourist.
I'm supposed to take pictures.
[HORN BLOWS.]
A subway train! Oh, is that what that thing is? Ha ha ha! Better make tracks, dudes! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I wish I hadn't eaten that pizza before we left.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Stop! Stop, I say! You're exceeding the speed limit! Cowabunga! Oh, no.
We're back in the subway.
Let me off at the 39th precinct, will you? It's shredder and the two dead heads.
Uh-oh.
We're going to crash! Thanks for the lift.
I'll walk the rest of the way.
Whoa! You can see the ocean from here! That's a thrill and a half.
What has happened, April? Where are the turtles? I don't know.
I just took their picture with this camera, and poof! They disappeared.
We have one chance.
Quickly, before it's too late.
Well, at least we gave shredder the slip.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Give my regards to Broadway when you hit it.
Whoa! Aah! Whoa! Did you take a picture of a pizza parlor? I've got a major case of the munchies.
Give up, turtles.
You can't escape.
Why fight, shredder? You're trapped inside the camera just like us.
Our entire universe is just a video cassette.
Then it's going to be my universe! Attack! With pleasure, boss.
I know.
You visited the war museum.
Hey, it was free admission.
This is where we edit all our tapes.
I pray we're not too late.
I must try something.
Stand back, April.
[RUMBLING.]
Aah! Aah! Aah! Ohh! Aah! Master splinter, am I glad to see you.
Where is Michelangelo? Surf's up! Cowabunga! Ha ha! Maybe from now on I'll just buy picture postcards.
An excellent idea, my friend.
Oh, April! Uh-oh! It's my boss! Quickly, turtles! This way! Whoa! April, what is going on here? Chief, you wouldn't believe me if I told ya.
I trust you enjoyed your vacation on our planet? Well, earth may be a nice place to live, but I sure wouldn't want to visit here.
Speaking of vacations, have you turtles decided where you wish to go? Actually, I think we've decided there's no place like home, master.
Yeah.
That sewer's starting to look really inviting.
Exactamundo! Like, who needs tourists anyway? lions gate home entertainment
