These HEROES IN A HALF SHELL are the latest rage among kids, teenagers, and ultra cool adults. Once common hosehold pets, they were transformed into mutants by radioactive green slime. Now, this noble foursome spreads their message of truth, justice, and a larger slice of pizza for all! Join Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Leonardo in their very first video adventure filled with laughter, lunacy, and unbeatable fun for everyone.
