A Great Memory Of Mine Was Getting Tmnt 2 For NES During The X-Mas Season Of 1990 And Finding The Coupon For A Free Personal Pan Pizza From Pizza Hut In The Manual! The Early 90’s Was The Peak Of Tmnt In My Opinion. I’m Happy That I Was Lucky Enough To Experience The Peak Of Tmnt In The Early 90’s.

I love that your dad thought to record even mundane moments like you playing outside with your cousins, or something as simple as backing out of your driveway. It's almost like he planned to give you a library of B-roll footage knowing you'd go on to make documentaries of your life. Making these videos is the best way ever to pay back the favor. I am so glad I found this channel - not only for the nostalgia vibes but because it tells a beautiful human story

Man, I watched this video with a smile from ear to ear. I was born in 1987 and distinctly remember playing ninja turtles with my friends in the front yard. And the excitement of getting new ninja turtles toys was just totally unmatched. I remember getting a turtle van that had a slingshot on top to shoot slime. My mom used to get mad at me for getting slime in the carpet lol.
I was so into Ninja Turtles, my mom called all my action figures Ninja Turtles.

I saw all but the Michael Bay movies in the theater. My first memory ofna mivie theater was seeing the 1990 movie.
I remember being at church hiding underneath the pews playing TMNT on Gameboy. My favorite turtle was Donatello I can still remember waiting in line outside the theater 1 block long. I totally lived turtle mania lol
As a child, I was totally obsessed with Raphael too (but in Italy he's called Raffaello, of course). I was a total Turtles-Maniac at that age, at the point that my beloved mom (passed away in September...) allowed me call to the (insanely expensive) official italian Turtles phone line, and she made believe that I've had a chat with...Raphael!
Michaelangelo was my fave! The franchise was totally satisfying to a boy between the toys, the cartoon, and then the first two movies.

You and I would have made good friends as kids, because my mom kept buying me Michelangelo toys and stuff, but I only liked Leonardo! lol. I would have traded toys with you and other things, because where I lived most kids had either Raphael or Donatello. I have never understood why most kids did not like Leonardo like me - but it sure was a pain because I could never find a kid who like Mikey and got stuck with Leo toys! :D
God this brought me back to being a kid. For brief moments I can almost hear my grandparents. Lost them years ago but for just a fraction of a second I thought they still existed. It lasted just enough to want to call them then realized there isn't anyone to call anymore. Thank you

Touching comment, I kept an old cell phone around with a voicemail from my grandmother for a few years to play once in awhile.
I was a huge Turtle kid back in the day. This video really gave me a huge nostalgia rush. I'd do almost anything to have video footage of me and my friends playing Ninja Turtles in the yard back then. I really enjoyed this video.
Videos like these inspire me to be an advocate for children and a champion of their joy. My parents didn't really like Spongebob, but they know it made me and my brothers happy through the 2000s, and I'm grateful they allowed us to indulge in this big chunk of our childhoods. There are things today that kids are obsessed with that would make us cringe. But we have to swallow our pride and just go with it, because it's their time to be happy, and eventually they will thank us for capturing and supporting these precious moments of their youth.

Dude Turtle Mania was one of the best times to be alive in. I remember Ninja Turtles were at a mall and we went to go see them. There was also Mario either the same time, or a different time. I think I have a pic with Mario somewhere. Unfortunately it was 80s cameras so they're not as good lol. Yeah, as I got older I was moving on to other things like Power Rangers and Jurassic Park(movie and toys), I don't think I watched much of the later seasons of the Turtles, I'd say 91-92 was about when I was moving on, but those Turtles will always have a special place in my own heart. I always went for Don in the games 😊

I feel ya, dude. Born in 81, so about 7-8 when Turtle mania hit full force. I 100% share your love and passion for the OG TMNT generation. Movies, arcade games, figurines, ice cream, posters, graphic novels, cereal ....Turtles Forever 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀!!!
I'm glad I saved all my turtles stuff for my kids. My son uses my Turtle "locker style" back pack. I miss those turtle pies and the cereal. I remember my dad suprising me with all the Burger King Kids Club released VHS tapes of the Turtles. I still have those too. I rented the Ninja turtles video game all the time from Blockbuster. My favorite turtle was Donnie.
This flooded me with memories. Playing with the toys making the weapons pretending to have weird toppings on my pizza. Thanks for sharing with us Tyler.
I remember getting The Technodrome for my birthday and all of my cousins went crazy seeing that reveal underneath the wrapping paper. In fact my cousin Cristopher took over and picked it up over he’s head and everyone followed him to my room spazzing out, while I still had lots of gifts to open up LOL!!!! This took me back to the birth of the 90’s. Thank you for all your contributions to the retro community, Tyler.

1990 to 1993 I was 10 to 13 years old. So I was slightly older when Turtle mania was at its peakness. But I still loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I had the toys. I had the Raphael toy with his sais you could equip in his hands. I watched the 1987 cartoon. And I loved the two live action movies. Especially TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. Love this video.

@@MyRetroLife that's cool, most kids my age (9-11) when it came out said they didn't like it either. It was like live action Voltron to me. I also still loved Turtles, but it got harder to find the toys. Like you, I was also a big X-Men fan at the time too. Oh and Spider-Man.
Why of cooourse you have the most perfect 90s ninja turtle footage. Your dad captured the most quintessential 90s videogame kid childhood of all time. Videos and pics of me in the 90s are a couple birthday parties or stilted family shots. The reality was I was playing tons of games and also obsessing over the ninja turtles etc. Zero footage though. It's great your dad deemed that stuff worthy of documenting. (not that I blame my family for not documenting it. Your dad is very unique in that regard.) An incredible time capsule that so many of us relate to.

I used to watch tmnt here in Brazil in 1989 and in the 90's as well
I was also around during that time, too, RetroLife, I was born in 1983, I remember I had some Ninja Turtles toys back on my 7th birthday. Boy, I was happy whenever I got my Donatello figure first, I got Raphael, Leonard, and Michaelangleo, plus I got the Pizza Thrower. It was a great birthday, I couldn't be more happy on that day. Turtle Power! I miss those days a lot.
I had the entire bedroom suit, movie posters, games, figures, etc. I still love TMNT 30 years later 😂 I even had the sweater you were wearing.
I was a Turtlemaniac too. Born 1980 and I had a lot of Turtles stuff. Action Figures, Shirts, colouring books, pens, VHS, Nintendo games...I loved it and still love it
This put a smile on my face. I was born 89 so I remember the second wave
Thei innocence as children, this was our world. Im 41 now. I still collect Ninja Turtle 🐢 toys.. figures games and movies. I dont think we'll EVER stop loving this huge staple of our childhood. ❤ Fantastic video 📹
I've been watching the 80s Ninja Turtles for a while because I wasn't a 80s guy or 90s but I wanna experience old cartoons tv. I'm a 2005 and I love 80s and 90s games, tv and toys. My favorite Turtle is My boi Raphael cuz he's an Amazing turtle 🐢 ❤

Love your videos. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and this is exactly how I remember it. Couldn't get enough TMNT
Turtlemania was indeed BIG! Everything about it was perfect for a kid growing up with older brothers. The toys were priced modestly at $3.96 each. So I could actually save up money to buy at least one at Wal-Mart or even two from Kay Bee Toys discount bin. I even remember gifting one at a birthday party I was invited to. The live-action movie just made them alive to me. I knew they were in costumes in the back of my mind, but that was the most believable versions of them in "reality". Those were some fun times!
Lol your dad deserves a prize for capturing such precious moments. Loved this video.
I was born in 1981in France, so of course I was in TMNT. My very first video game I owned was TMNT on NES, the first VHS I asked my parents to rent was a TMNT 4 episodes tape, I had the toys, the sticker album...

As a child of the 90s myself, I too was obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Some specific memories stand out with the Ninja Turtles, is definitely seeing the first movie with my brother and my cousin and thoroughly enjoying it even to this day. Another memory is the year my grandmother won the bingo jackpot which was $1000 and she used that money to spoil us on Christmas presents and I got the Technodrome and a bunch of figures that year. Finally I remember being absolutely obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4 turtles in time for the Super Nintendo and every time we would go into a toy store or a or a big retail store I would head to the video game section and see the box art for TMNT4 and just drooling over it, also begging my parents to buy it for me. That year for Christmas I got the game and I couldn’t be happier.
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (as we called it in the UK) was the first TV show I ever remember looking forward to every Wednesday night. I remember being probably 5 or 6 years old at school and getting excited remembering it was on TV that night. I also remember finally getting to the Technodrome level on the NES and having to go to my grandma’s house so we left the console on for like 9 hours until we got home which was unheard of for me! 😅
I’m 41 now but I still love TMNT. Was obsessed with the cartoon.I remember my Dad taking me to see the first movie. It was mind blowing 🤯
I'm a grown ass man I'm still obsessed with TMNT glad they made a comeback and full swing
I have a cousin your age and I’m right around your cousin Manny‘s age. We were always close growing up. It would take forever to explain how much I relate to these videos. It’s so cool that your dad left so many memories. I know that he would think that what you’re doing with his channel is the coolest thing ever, and if you will allow me to say. I know that he is very proud of you.
Great video, Tyler! Turtlemania was awesome. In 1994 here in Russia we woke up in the morning to watch the new episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too. Toys, comics, movies, videogames - all of this was so cool, and it is our childhood as yours. Thanks for memories!

I grew up in a place were we were very poor and lots of bad things where happening to me (I also had no dad and we had no food).

Born in 84 and you brought me back to some of my happiest times. I was and honestly still am such a huge TMNT fan. God I cannot overstate how much I miss those times. To be an innocent mind once again.
I remember being obsessed with ninja turtles too, and as an adult looking back at it, its so strange and funny that kids gravitate towards such things. the whole idea of ninja turtles is absurd but as a kid you roll with it.
I also was obsessed with the Turtles, still have all the original toys form back then.
Been waiting for this video! Listening at work and will watch then I get home.
I was born in 83 and absolutely loved the ninja turtles..it was my number one thing …I had the first two NES games ..I saw the original movie in theaters in 1990 and the sequel in theaters as well …I was all in …i had a bunch of the action figures and the pizza thrower that you showed in this video ….i have rebought most of these toys and have them on multiple shelves…it’s great to have them
I have pictures of myself with those same turtles at MGM. That was the most wonderful time of our lives and we didnt even know it back then.
TMNT was my favorite of all time. I had clothing, video games, lunch boxes, toys and everything else you can think of that had TMNT. I went to the movies, public appearances and even had all 4 came to a few of my birthday parties. I had almost every toy line up to 2010 of TMNT, but as I grew older I had more responsibilities and it was time for me to let go of the past and move on. So, I sold off my TMNT collection.
Love your videos!! Your dad is a legend for recording your entire childhood. Thank you for sharing your home videos. They bring back so many of my own childhood memories. Thank you!
Born in 84 i was there for the TMNT and RGB ride! Back when we were kids were actually kids, played hard stayed out till dark.. i miss it especially the hype of TMNT RGB all of it.
Oh man... your video brought me tears! What a wonderful time! Here in Brazil things took a while to arrive (the animated series arrived 2 years after the USA), but we were also caught up by Turtlemania. The arcade game was something surreal, I glued my ears to the machine just to listen to the opening song (where here in Brazil the opening song was cut). I went to see the three films at the cinema, rented all the games, and read all the comics I could. Anyway, I still love them to this day (at least the OG phase), and it was an honor to watch your videos as a kid in love with them. I appreciate you for that! 😊
I was born in 1979. Turtles were pretty big in my house. We had GI Joe's and Turtle battles in our bedroom.

Oh my God dude...I remember Saturday mornings, sitting on the floor playing TMNT on Nintendo, in my TMNT pj's, eating TMNT cereal, out of my Leonardo bowl (with Trix color changing spoon). The marketing force was strong with this one. This story bears repeating: My brother and I went to see the original movie when it came out as kids (7 and 9?) Afterwards we were looking down the sewer drains to try and see them on a rainy night. 30 years later...he and I went to see the special anniversary theatrical release. It was absolutely amazing nostalgia 🍕🐢🐢🐢🐢
Man, the footage you have is unreal, I turned 39 today and I feel like I went back in time with your videos and stories. Thank you
I remember always drawing ninja turtles every time I had a crayon in my hand. I loved the show and the NES games so much.
Turtles were a global phenomenon I'm a Milennial from Argentina and it was all about the Turtles, Terminator, Ghostbusters, Rambo, Robocop and GI Joe and Silverhawks in the early 90s for kids. Right before the anime boom started in the mid 90s with Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball. The fact that Turtles games were among the best NES and Arcade games available sure helped a lot.

Being born in ‘92 I unfortunately missed the pinnacle of TMNT, but it’s something that I’ve became more interested in recently. Thanks to retro game collecting and shredders revenge I feel like we’re in a mini resurgence.
That was amazing to see, never saw it at Disney before. I really miss those good times. Fun, happiness, innocence, and no adult problems.
Dude thanks for this. Totally brought back my fondest childhood memory. I’m about 2 years younger than you and ninja turtles were my life up until 95. This footage was such a warm feeling. My dad fully supported me in my turtle mania just like yours. Cowabunga my dude
born in 1987, and man, TMNT in the 90s as a kid was SUCH a big part of my childhood. also you unlocked memories of disney in the 90s, i saw the same tmnt thing, also had the autograph book they had where you get all the mascot/costumed characters autographs. was so much fun
The turtles dance/fight performance looked dope! :), great video

Turtles were huge here in Brazil as well. Nostalgia!
oh man! I had that table top hockey table! I completely forgot about that thing! I still some all of my old turtles back at my parents place. I need to go pick them up for my son!
Man, this was such an excellent video. The smell of pizza in an arcade will always remind me of the great TMNT times. Growing up, I also used to fight as a turtle all the time with my brothers and my cousins in my grandparent's basement. My older cousin was also shredder. Donatello was my go-to.
I still have about 70% of my original TMNT toy collection. The rest were lost to garage sales. May they RIP!
That’s awesome! Your mom kissed Raphael and got a picture with you and him! By the way, in 2010, I met Rob Paulsen’s sister with her family at a cinema! I was with a friend and it was a great time! He was the voice actor for Raphael, and later Donatello. If you want to count parodies, he voiced Michelangelo on “Anamaniacs”. He was Yakko and Pinky on that show, too!

I was five at Disney land and saw the same performance. Everyone I have ever talked to about it had no clue what I was talking about and then I saw your footage and it made me smile. Thank you. Still collect tmnt to this day and have many figures, vehicles, and advertisements
I was definitely swept in Turtlemania. Transformers stopped with new episodes in 1987 and TMNT quickly took its place. Along with an NES, the games, the toys, the cartoon when it aired all of it. I even saw The Coming Out of Their Shells Tour at both Radio City Music Hall and at Six Flags Great Adventure. I took karate to defend myself against bullies and TMNT, along with Karate Kid, were inspirational for that.
