Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), directed by Steve Barron, brought the comic book and animated heroes to live action for the first time — combining dark urban atmosphere with humor, martial arts, and practical effects by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Starring Judith Hoag, Elias Koteas, and the voice talents of Brian Tochi, Robbie Rist, and Corey Feldman, the film became an instant hit and a cornerstone of early ’90s pop culture.
