    I always liked the Mighty Orbots for some reason.

    Don't know that I'd go that far. But I'm not sure what was supposed to be the appeal of the movie. There wasn't much action. There weren't many laughs. Seems like the draw was mediocre CGI and Will Smith saying some black cliches with an alien twist.

    TMNT is awesome. It and He-Man are my two favorite cartoons from the 80s. Teansformers and GI Joe and 3rd and 4th.

    Actually, surely to God the Turtles won't be from Dimension X will they? He wouldn't do that.......would he?

    I think they are supposed to be aliens.

    Which they would be if originally from Dimension X.

    i'd like to meet the guy who wrote that article on wikipedia. this is why the terrorists hate us. we have time to worry about the origins of krang and the teenage mutant ninja turtles.

    I never really liked He-Man, but I loved me some Transformers, GI Joes and TMNT

    He Man was probably my favorite.

    Oh, and let me throw Ghostbusters in there too. Don't know how I forgot that one. And I preferred the red beam proton backs over the white beam proton packs in the later years of the show.

    So your favorite cartoon growing up was a man with a bowl cut wearing red underwear huh? I may not bring my son to Calhoun's now...

    I had the back pack and the ghost trap.

    As did I. They were awesome, although the trap did not work as well as it did in the cartoon when you threw it.

    Kept it at my grandmothers house. Had totally forgotten about it, and when we were cleaning out her house after she died in 2004 I found them and busted out laughing.

    I was speaking of the earlier movies.

    Actually, most of these cartoons were just a bit too late for me. NOTHING beats Bugs Bunny and the old Looney Toons!

    You're old.

    The first movie was good, two was decent, and three sucked.

    Respect your elders......

    Actually Vanilla Ice's Ninja Rap brought some street cred to the movies......

    Could you imagine the amount of explosions Bay could bring to Ducktales The Movie?

    GI Joes was awesome. Nothing like 20 characters firing guns at one another, blowing up each others' vehicles left and right, and no one ever dying.

    Didn't one eventually die?
