I love me some stop motion and I love me some turtles. Thankfully, Kyle Roberts decided to take advantage of the awesome and super articulated NECA TMNT figures that came out a few years back.
What's even more awesome is that he decided to remake the entire opening sequence to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series.
With over 4,000 individual pictures, Kyle Roberts and crew wanted to recreate the nostalgic 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon introduction in stop motion. Artist, Nathan Poppe, created over 60 hand-drawn images to establish a bright and vibrant backdrop to complement Roberts' use of action figures. The original TMNT theme song was covered by Oklahoma native band, The Boom Bang, in their "garage surf punk" style. Each of these pieces can stand alone by themselves, but when infused together they create a radical tribute.If interested, I've also included their behind-the-scenes vignette after the break showing the process that was used creating the totally tubular short.
