On
December 16, martial arts mayhem rises from the sewers when
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy makes its global 4K UHD debut. The three films are live action with realistic animatronic costumes created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

During New York City's latest massive crime wave, TV reporter April O'Neil (
Judith Hoag, Halloweentown) is attacked by thugs. The most unlikely of heroes come to her aid.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four large, shelled reptiles with martial arts skills and the ability to talk. They live in the sewer, devour pizza and learn the art of ninjutsu from Splinter, a mystical rat. O’Neil and the Turtles discover that the terrorizing criminals are members of the villainous masked Foot Clan, led by the diabolical Shredder. Can Turtle Power clean up the Big Apple? Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze exposes the substance that caused the Turtles and Splinter to transform. There’s only one last canister of the Ooze at Techno Global Research Industries. Shredder plans to create new vicious mutants with this final dose if the Turtles can’t stop him. During a fight at a nightclub, the Turtles and Fist swap blows while
Vanilla Ice dances and busts out “Ninja Rap.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III transports the heroes in both time and space. April O’Neil (
Paige Turco, The Stepfather) buys an ancient golden scepter at a flea market. As she shows it off to Splinter and the Turtles, the device glows and projects April back to feudal Japan. She’s declared a witch by the wicked Lord Norinaga (
Sab Shimono, Southland Tales). The Turtles must travel back to save April and stop a samurai battle.
