Original 1990s Film Trilogy

This is the original 1990s live-action film trilogy from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, the run that put the sewer-dwelling, pizza-loving heroes on the big screen at the height of their fame. The 1990 first film leans surprisingly gritty for a kids' property, with the four turtles learning to work as a team against Shredder and the Foot Clan under their rat mentor Splinter.

The Secret of the Ooze brightens the tone and chases the mutagen that created them, while the third film sends the turtles back in time to feudal Japan, a swing widely seen as the weak link. As a films-only trilogy it captures the franchise's early-'90s peak, when practical suits and a real sense of street-level grime defined the brand on screen.

The Original 1990s Film Trilogy franchise spans 3 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
