TMNT Stop Motion Intro
Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 2:49PM | Matt Sager It's time to kick it old-school, with this epic stop motion remake of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series opening theme.
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.
Sponsored by the Toy and Action Figure Museum, curator Kevin Stark designed many of the pieces in the original 1990 TMNT toy line.
Music by The Boom Bang Bang. Thanks to Kyle Roberts for the tip!
