Short filmTranscript
00:00 I grew up watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
00:02 and the teenage part was always the most underexplored part.
00:05 I'd always thought it would be really interesting to explore them in that way,
00:09 especially because, from my understanding,
00:11 every version of them has been performed by adults.
00:15 Within 15 seconds of watching the movie, the audience is like,
00:19 "They're teenage boys."
00:20 No, no, no!
00:21 I was freaking out.
00:25 It's crazy.
00:26 It was a dream come true.
00:27 It was so incredible.
00:28 Why wouldn't you want to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
00:30 Leo's the one always trying to keep the brothers on track.
00:33 The kid who sees himself as the coach of the team,
00:35 even though no one else does.
00:36 Let's go. I'm Leo.
00:38 Mikey, he's the best.
00:40 His dance moves are better.
00:41 His weapon is the best.
00:42 Hey, I'm Michelangelo.
00:44 Perfecto.
00:45 Raphael is aggressive, but he's very loyal to his brothers,
00:48 and he's got a good heart.
00:49 I dream about fighting every night.
00:51 You've got a rage problem, right?
00:52 It's not a problem!
00:54 Donatello is very smart.
00:55 He's very techie and calculates every single move he does.
00:58 Don't worry, guys. I got this.
01:00 Me and all the Turtle boys, we got real close.
01:04 They made sure that all four turtles were filming together.
01:07 Let's have four people at once talking over each other.
01:10 Hi!
01:11 Hi!
01:12 Hi, guys!
01:13 It was like so much more alive.
01:16 Okay, we got it.
01:17 We got it.
01:18 We improvised a lot of the movie.
01:20 Just them actually being themselves
01:22 and going at each other.
01:24 Stop this!
01:25 That's what you like? You eat that?
01:26 Oh, my God, gross!
01:27 All the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are teenagers,
01:29 but we have adults telling you how to be teenagers.
01:31 No, they just let us be teenagers.
01:32 Hey, hey, hey, hey!
01:34 They'd be like, "What did you just say? Riz?
01:35 Use that in the movie. Explain it to me, and then let's use it."
01:37 The fact that they're laughing makes me think
01:39 I shouldn't say that.
01:41 It's pretty sick.
01:42 One, two, three!
01:44 Cowabunga!
01:46 Everyone knows who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are.
01:49 I'm awesome.
01:50 Every single character, someone can relate to.
01:52 We gangsta!
01:53 We outsa!
01:54 The action and the villains.
01:56 Whoa!
01:57 It's funny and it's cool and they fight things.
01:59 It's awesome. Go watch it.
