Much like Howard the Duck, this entire film needs to be scrapped and repurposed. The technology of 1990 isn't really ready to make a TMNT film that doesn't look like B-Movie garbage. And perhaps that's okay. Maybe we have to more fully embrace the B-movie nature of the film in this regard because attempting to animate the movie is not going to set the world on fire. I think I would probably but I larger focus on making the turtles look aerodynamic and built for fighting, and I would probably keep the voices already in use for the movie.
I would probably seek out Robert Zemeckis to helm the project, at least as an executive producer. I he has a sense of comedic timing that is more timeless and ageless, and that sort of measured vision would prevent the script from diving in the trash too often. I'd also recast the human roles of the film completely. April O'Neal? Winona Ryder. Casey Jones? Emilio Estevez. Shredder? Hiroyuki Sanada.
Past that, I'm bringing in Zemeckis and letting him attempt to make this corny origin story into an endearing look at classic B-List movies, kung fu movies, all while being an early 90s children's film.
Thank god no one nominated more TMNT crap.
i have seen this movie dozens if not hundreds of times and i am EXTREMELY offended by your writeup ---
