[THEME SONG.]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell Turtle power They're the world's Most fearsome fighting team We're really hip.
They're heroes in the half shell And they're green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles When the evil Shredder attacks These turtle boys don't cut him no slack Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Splinter taught them to be ninja teens He's a radical rat.
Leonardo leads Donatello does machines That's a fact, Jack.
Raphael is cool, but rude Gimme a break.
Michelangelo is a party dude Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell Turtle power Thanks for helping me sewer test my new board, Donatello.
Hey, no sweat, Michelangelo.
This invention of mine should do the trick just fine.
Sure, every sewer needs a wind and wave generator.
All right! Switch on! Hang on! Here it comes! Aw, great, it's like trying to sailboard in a kiddie pool.
Donatello, I hunger for a cowabunga.
Give me more wind, dude, and some awesomely humongous waves! Well, I'd rather not, it isn't perfected yet.
Who knows what might happen if I crank it up too high? [SPLINTER.]
Have patience, Michelangelo.
Bigger is not always better.
Sometimes it is best for things to remain as they are.
If you say so, master.
I guess.
Come, my Turtles.
It is time to practice your ninja skills.
Boy, I hate to let a dynamite adventure go to waste.
Not to mention my new sailboard.
There are only two things a dude needs if you're going to windsurf.
Wind and surf! Uh oh, maybe I did overdo it just the teensiest bit! Whoa! What was that? It's a Kauai killer wave! Whoa! Totally tubular! Man, there is nothing like windsurfing.
The fresh, sea air filling your lungs, the waves rolling beneath your feet, the fresh breeze blowing through your hair, or in my case, scalp.
Man, my Turtle buds just don't know what they're missing.
Together, my Turtles, attack! Aw, my aching carapace.
Your reactions are extremely slow today.
One must always be prepared for the unexpected.
Uh, yes, Master Splinter.
I still say three against one isn't fair.
Yeah, now four against one, that's fair.
Again, my Turtles, attack! I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but we need Michelangelo.
Whoa! That set was epic! It even beats surfing in the sewer.
[HORN BLASTING.]
Huh? Come to think of it, the sewer's starting to look really good.
What a harbor hog.
Why can't they make those things in mini-subcompact size? Wha--talk about service.
Excellent, excellent! Another splendid specimen for my miniature collection.
My hobby may be shrinking, but my collection is growing! They said I was too small for the Navy.
Now the Navy is too small for me! [CAT MEOWING.]
Thanks to my miniaturizing ray, I, Talbot Breech, will have my revenge.
I'll show those small-minded Lilliputians.
Claude, no, you're getting hair all over my uniform! That's against regulations.
Now, shoo shoo shoo! Oh, Claude, what have you done? Shrinking oil tankers.
Whirlpools in the middle of the bay.
Oh, when I tell the dudes about this, they'll think I've been scarfing some bad pizza.
Whoa! [high-pitched muffled yelling.]
Bad kitty! You know you're not allowed on two things.
The couch or my weapons of total destruction.
What? See what you've done now, you naughty, naughty thing! Well, let's see what the cat has dragged in, shall we? Ah, just what I need for my collection, a miniature sailboard.
Hold on, what's this? Hey, let me out of here! What's the big idea? A tiny turtle, with a headband.
Hmm, it must be some new species of aquatic life.
Oh, well, I'll deal with that later.
After a hard day of shrinking, there's nothing like a relaxing bath.
Toot toot! Make way for the tug boat.
Oh, being the commander of a boat is a real hoot.
[BLOWING WHISTLE.]
Well, now I know how a genie in a bottle feels.
Oh, it's no use.
With my size, this glass might as well be super-reinforced titanium.
[CAT MEOWING.]
Agghhhh! Scram, kitty! Beat it, would you? Make cat tracks.
Whoa, whoa! I wonder how you put these things in reverse.
[GLASS SHATTERING.]
Oh, what now? I'll bet it's that darn cat again.
Why didn't I get a parrot like every other scourge of the seven seas? All right, at least I'm out of that bottle.
Agghhhhh! And into the frying pan.
Now I know how I must look to a pizza with everything.
Back off, kitty! I'm not as tasty as I look.
I'm all shell.
Major bummer.
Why is it you can never find a mouse hole when you really need one, like in the real cartoons.
Claude, you naughty cat.
I don't know what's gotten into you.
I know what almost got into him, me! Oh, look at what you've done, you bad, bad, kitty.
You can come back when you've learned not to break things.
This thing's too big for me to handle.
Come to think of it, everything's too big for me to handle.
I better call in the Turtle cavalry.
Yo, dudes, pick up the phone! Aw, the power on the Turtle Com shrunk, too.
There's got to be some way to contact the guys.
Yup, leave it to Michelangelo to disappear when it's his turn to take out the trash.
Worse yet, he left my wind and water generator turned on.
You know, it's not like Michelangelo to be gone this long.
Oh, he'll be back soon now that all the work is done.
I'll bet my buds are mondo worried about me.
I got to find some way to let them know where I am.
All right! Reach out and touch some Turtles! How's a dude supposed to get way up there? First floor.
Carpets, drapes, Venetian blinds, going up.
Man, I'm starting to feel like the seafood special.
Under glass! Lucky thing this isn't a pay phone.
I don't have any small change large enough.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Channel 6 news, Vernon Fenwick speaking.
Oh, what's that? Speak up, I can't hear you.
I said I have to talk to April O'Neil! Did you say April? She's out on assignment.
No, don't hang up, dude.
This is mondo importanti! You have to tell April-- Uh huh, mmm hmm.
Yeah, I see.
Shrinking boats and not only that, he's got this huge, hungry cat! [CAT MEOWING.]
Ohhhh! Who was that on the phone? I'm not sure.
Something about raising votes to feed hungry cats.
Well, never mind that.
Get down to the harbor and help April do that aircraft carrier report.
Go go go! Must I? I suffer from sea sickness.
Would you rather suffer from unemployment? On second thought-- Yo, goldfish breath, pick a card! Uh oh! Phew! What a life.
I went from man hole to mouse hole.
I know you won't believe this, but one of my best friends is a giant rat.
Claude, how did you get in here? Oh, just look at the mess you've made.
I can not even have lunch without you destroying my laboratory.
Either shape up or ship out! [SNIFFING.]
Something in here smells truly stupenduloso.
This spaghetti stick ought to get me up there.
Tah dah! Pizza! Acres and acres of it.
So much pizza, so little time.
Peanut butter and salami pizza with double-yogurt topping.
Michelangelo doesn't know what he's missing.
He's been gone for an awfully long time.
Maybe we should go look for him.
Better yet, let's just save him a slice.
A small one.
This is April O'Neil reporting from the deck of the U.
S.
S.
Flat Top, the Navy's newest and largest aircraft carrier.
In a Channel 6 exclusive, our viewers will be getting a special pre-launch tour of this massive ship.
What a momentous day.
This is going to be the biggest ship I ever made little.
Uh oh.
I recognize that sound.
It's that shrinking machine! At full power! Talbot's about to sink another ship, and April's on board.
What's going on? It's some weird kind of beam.
I knew we should have stayed onshore.
[APRIL.]
Help! Help! April's in big trouble.
We've got to do something.
And without Michelangelo, wherever he is.
Oh, just what I've always wanted.
My very own aircraft carrier.
It even has lots of teeny-weeny airplanes.
I cannot wait to get this into the bathtub.
[high-pitched.]
Vernon, we've got to get off this ship and get help! [high-pitched.]
Uh, that's a lovely idea, I'll hide--I'll wait here.
Suit yourself.
If you want to stay here all alone.
Alone? April, wait up! I bet none of those Naval Academy grads have a real aircraft carrier in their bathtubs.
Follow me, Vernon.
We'll use this emergency ladder.
Why couldn't they put emergency elevators on ships? Uh oh, the ladder's too short! Maybe if I can jump down! Jump? From way up here? It's only a couple of feet.
A couple of feet? Only a couple of broken feet.
April and Vernon! All right! [DOOR OPENING.]
[CAT MEOWING.]
Oh, cat food? Yuck.
How will I ever get it off? Well, that's one way.
[PURRING.]
[APRIL.]
Vernon, that phony purring won't fool that cat for a moment! Uh oh, April's about to be a kitty treat.
A Turtle's got to do what a Turtle's got to do.
Hey, dude, pick on somebody your own size! Michelangelo! Ride 'em, Catboy! Yee Haw! Cowabunga! Thanks for the totally gnarly ride, dude.
What's happening? You're all right, Vernon.
Let's just say your purring worked.
Michelangelo, we got to do something before every ship on the ocean is shrunk.
We need a plan! Or better yet, a plane.
Now, for the grandest moment of all.
When I personally sink the Navy's prize aircraft carrier.
Boop boop, dive, dive! Run, everyone, look out! Here he comes, ooh! Owee, I got soap in my eye.
[TALBOT.]
Oh, but that's so embarrassing, especially for a submarine commander! Cowabunga! This couldn't be much harder to fly than the Turtle blimp, or could it? Well, here goes nothing.
Huh? What's that? You listen, you, nobody plays with my toys but me! He got Michelangelo.
We got to do something! Like what? Like this! What in blazes! [MICHELANGELO.]
Houston, we have liftoff.
Let's go, Vernon.
There's only one way out of here.
[APRIL.]
Michelangelo escaped.
If you and I do the same thing-- Uh, uh, uh.
Not so fast, my little friends.
Well, some human beings to add to my collection.
Aren't I the little shrinker? It's crazy, April and Vernon disappeared just like that.
April, where are you? What's happening with that aircraft carrier story? Sorry, Mr.
Thompson, but the carrier's vanished, along with April.
So, the Turtles again.
Why is it, whenever there's trouble, you shell-back delinquents are always involved? Just lucky, I guess.
Hey, it's my bosom buds! Guys, we've got to come up with a plan.
Well, how can a guy think with these giant mosquitoes bugging us? Hey, dudes, it's me, Michelangelo! That's no mosquito, it's Michelangelo.
Michelangelo? What happened to you? [MICHELANGELO.]
Forget me, dudes, it's a long story.
We've got to save April and Vernon.
Follow me, guys.
Consider yourselves fortunate.
Instead of being destroyed, you'll reside with me here forever.
Besides, I like having someone smaller than me hanging around the place.
So, it's you again.
I'll fix you.
Uh oh, time to hit the silk! Michelangelo geronimo! I'm so glad you could drop in.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[RUMBLING.]
Change our friends back to the right size.
Yeah, or you'll be in big trouble, shorty! Shorty, eh? I'll show you.
Turn them into Turtle tidbits! Whoa, these tin cans mean business.
How do I get out of this thing? Uh, thanks, robotic dude! Surrender! You cannot defeat my robots! As for you, you've bugged me long enough.
Na na na na na! Vernon, we're back to normal.
Normal is a strange word coming from someone who's best friends are Mutant Turtles.
Let's boogie, dudes! This is for you, Michelangelo.
A small memento of your latest adventure.
A present? Wow, sensei, you didn't have to do that.
My pre-shrunk sail board? So that you'll always remember that bigger is not always better.
Except in this case.
[CAT MEOWING.]
You were saying, Michelangelo? Ah, nothing, master.
Small is cool with me.
[PURRING.]
Whoa, hey, that tickles!
