  to

• 3:33
  I
• 3:33
  am
• 3:34
  always

  I'm
• 3:34
  so
• 3:34
  happy
• 3:34
  to

  have
• 3:35
  you
• 3:35
  here
• 3:35
  just
• 3:35
  generally,

  also
• 3:37
  for
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  history

  and
• 3:37
  legacy
• 3:38
  of

  Teenage

  Mutant
• 3:39
  Ninja
• 3:39
  Turtles:
• 3:40
  Mutant
• 3:40
  Mayhem,
• 3:41
  which
• 3:41
  is
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  mouthful
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  title,
• 3:43
  so
• 3:43
  I'm
• 3:43
  probably
• 3:43
  going
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  shorten
• 3:44
  it
• 3:44
  for
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  rest
• 3:44
  of
• 3:45
  this
• 3:45
  episode.
• 3:46
  But
• 3:46
  it's
• 3:46
  also
• 3:46
  fantastic
• 3:47
  movie
• 3:47
  and
• 3:48
  huge.
• 3:49
  Thank
• 3:49
  you
• 3:49
  if
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  are
• 3:50
  a
• 3:50
  regular
• 3:50
  returning
• 3:51
  listener
• 3:51
  for
• 3:51
  coming
• 3:52
  back
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  listening
• 3:53
  to
• 3:53
  this
• 3:53
  podcast
• 3:53
  again.
• 3:55
  I
• 3:55
  am
• 3:55
  always
• 3:56
  so
• 3:56
  overwhelmed
• 3:57
  by
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  love
• 3:58
  that
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  get
• 3:58
  for
• 3:58
  doing
• 3:58
  this
• 3:59
  podcast.
• 4:00
  I
• 4:00
  have
• 4:00
  been
• 4:00
  doing
• 4:01
  this
• 4:01
  for
• 4:01
  very
• 4:01
  almost
• 4:02
  seven
• 4:02
  years
• 4:02
  now
• 4:03
  and
• 4:04
  330
• 4:05
  episodes
• 4:06
  is
• 4:06
  nothing
• 4:06
  to
• 4:06
  be
• 4:07
  sniffed
• 4:07
  at.
• 4:07
  And
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  be
• 4:08
  honest,
• 4:08
  I'm
• 4:08
  just
• 4:09
  so
• 4:09
  mindful
• 4:09
  that
• 4:10
  people
• 4:10
  take
• 4:10
  time
• 4:11
  out
• 4:11
  of
• 4:11
  their
• 4:11
  day
• 4:12
  to
• 4:12
  listen
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  me
• 4:13
  talk
• 4:14
  about
• 4:14
  film
• 4:14
  history.
• 4:15
  Like
• 4:15
  it
• 4:15
  still
• 4:16
  kind
• 4:16
  of
• 4:16
  blows
• 4:16
  my
• 4:16
  mind
• 4:16
  a
• 4:17
  little
• 4:17
  bit.
• 4:17
  But
• 4:18
  thank
• 4:18
  you
• 4:18
  so
• 4:18
  much
• 4:18
  for
• 4:18
  your
• 4:19
  support.
• 4:19
  It
• 4:19
  genuinely
• 4:20
  does
• 4:20
  mean
• 4:21
  so
• 4:21
  much.
• 4:22
  And
• 4:23
  if
• 4:23
  you
• 4:23
  are
• 4:23
  new
• 4:24
  here
• 4:24
  and
• 4:24
  you're
• 4:24
  not
• 4:24
  sure
• 4:25
  what
• 4:25
  this
• 4:25
  podcast
• 4:25
  is,
• 4:26
  hello,
• 4:26
  it
• 4:26
  is
• 4:26
  a
• 4:27
  film
• 4:27
  history
• 4:27
  podcast.
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  do
• 4:28
  talk
• 4:28
  about
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  history
• 4:29
  and
• 4:29
  legacy
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  movie
• 4:31
  every
• 4:31
  episode.
• 4:32
  And
• 4:32
  this
• 4:32
  is
• 4:32
  an
• 4:32
  especially
• 4:33
  exciting
• 4:33
  time
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  join
• 4:34
  this
• 4:35
  podcast
• 4:35
  because
• 4:36
  I'm
• 4:36
  in
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  middle
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  sixth
• 4:38
  annual
• 4:38
  animation
• 4:39
  season
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  this
• 4:40
  is
• 4:40
  something
• 4:40
  that
• 4:40
  I
• 4:41
  do
• 4:41
  on
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  podcast
• 4:42
  every
• 4:42
  year
• 4:43
  so
• 4:44
  far
• 4:44
  this
• 4:44
  season.
• 4:45
  So
• 4:45
  this
• 4:45
  January
• 4:46
  I've
• 4:47
  done
• 4:47
  episodes
• 4:47
  on
• 4:47
  Monsters,
• 4:48
  Inc.
• 4:48
  K
• 4:49
  Pop,
• 4:49
  Demon
• 4:49
  Hunters,
• 4:50
  and
• 4:50
  Paprika.
• 4:51
  And
• 4:51
  I'm
• 4:52
  a
• 4:52
  huge
• 4:52
  fan
• 4:52
  of
• 4:52
  animated
• 4:53
  movies.
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  want
• 4:54
  to
• 4:54
  use
• 4:54
  this
• 4:55
  podcast
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  celebrate
• 4:56
  animation
• 4:57
  in
• 4:57
  all
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  its
• 4:58
  forms.
• 4:58
  So
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  includes
• 4:59
  traditional
• 5:00
  2D
• 5:00
  hand
• 5:00
  drawn
• 5:01
  animation,
• 5:02
  stop
• 5:02
  motion
• 5:02
  animation,
• 5:03
  CGI
• 5:04
  animation,
• 5:05
  and
• 5:05
  pretty
• 5:06
  much
• 5:06
  every
• 5:06
  single
• 5:06
  type
• 5:07
  of
• 5:07
  animation
• 5:07
  that
• 5:07
  there
• 5:08
  is
• 5:08
  out
• 5:08
  there.
• 5:08
  Because
• 5:09
  I
• 5:09
  genuinely
• 5:10
  believe
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  animation
• 5:11
  is
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  perfect
• 5:12
  art
• 5:12
  form.
• 5:13
  The
• 5:13
  verbal
• 5:14
  diorama
• 5:14
  Animation
• 5:14
  season
• 5:15
  mantras
• 5:15
  are
• 5:16
  that
• 5:16
  animation
• 5:17
  is
• 5:17
  not
• 5:17
  just
• 5:17
  for
• 5:18
  children
• 5:18
  and
• 5:19
  animation
• 5:19
  is
• 5:19
  not
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  genre,
• 5:20
  despite
• 5:21
  what
• 5:21
  many
• 5:21
  streaming
• 5:22
  services
• 5:22
  will
• 5:22
  tell
• 5:22
  you.
• 5:23
  It
• 5:23
  is
• 5:23
  capable
• 5:24
  of
• 5:24
  depicting
• 5:24
  anything
• 5:25
  anyone.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  think
• 5:27
  the
• 5:28
  Teenage
• 5:28
  Mutant
• 5:28
  Ninja
• 5:29
  Turtles
• 5:29
  are
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  wonderful
• 5:30
  example
• 5:31
  of
• 5:32
  yes,
• 5:32
  we've
• 5:32
  had
• 5:33
  live
• 5:33
  action
• 5:33
  turtles
• 5:34
  movies,
• 5:35
  but
• 5:35
  nothing
• 5:35
  like
• 5:36
  this.
• 5:36
  This
• 5:37
  is
• 5:37
  completely
• 5:38
  unique
• 5:38
  and
• 5:39
  so
• 5:39
  brilliant
• 5:39
  and
• 5:40
  so
• 5:40
  visually
• 5:41
  aesthetically
• 5:42
  pleasing.
• 5:43
  And
• 5:43
  this
• 5:43
  movie
• 5:44
  doesn't
• 5:44
  have
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  limitations
• 5:45
  that
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  live
• 5:46
  action
• 5:47
  Teenage
• 5:47
  Mutant
• 5:48
  Ninja
• 5:48
  Turtles
• 5:49
  movie
• 5:49
  does
• 5:49
  have.
• 5:50
  And
• 5:50
  this
• 5:50
  is
• 5:51
  why
• 5:51
  Animation
• 5:51
  Season
• 5:51
  remains
• 5:52
  so
• 5:52
  important
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  me
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  this
• 5:54
  podcast
• 5:54
  because
• 5:55
  it
• 5:55
  highlights
• 5:55
  these
• 5:56
  incredible
• 5:56
  animated
• 5:57
  films
• 5:57
  that
• 5:58
  you
• 5:58
  may
• 5:58
  not
• 5:58
  have
• 5:58
  seen,
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  may
• 5:59
  not
• 5:59
  know
• 5:59
  about,
• 6:00
  or
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  may
• 6:00
  have
• 6:01
  seen,
• 6:01
  or
• 6:01
  maybe
• 6:02
  you
• 6:02
  saw
• 6:02
  it
• 6:02
  a
• 6:02
  while
• 6:03
  ago.
• 6:03
  But
• 6:04
  I
• 6:04
  genuinely
• 6:04
  believe
• 6:05
  in
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  medium
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  animation
• 6:07
  and
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  incredible
• 6:08
  storytelling
• 6:08
  that
• 6:09
  can
• 6:09
  be
• 6:09
  within
• 6:09
  animated
• 6:10
  movies
• 6:10
  that
• 6:11
  a
• 6:11
  lot
• 6:11
  of
• 6:11
  people
• 6:11
  do
• 6:11
  miss
• 6:12
  out
• 6:12
  on.
• 6:12
  And
• 6:13
  that's
• 6:13
  why
• 6:13
  I
• 6:13
  love
• 6:13
  to
• 6:14
  do
• 6:14
  animation
• 6:14
  season
• 6:15
  every
• 6:15
  January
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  February.
• 6:17
  And
• 6:18
  as
• 6:18
  I
• 6:18
  mentioned,
• 6:19
  this
• 6:19
  is
• 6:19
  an
• 6:19
  episode
• 6:20
  on
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  Teenage
• 6:20
  Mutant
• 6:20
  Ninja
• 6:21
  Turtles.
• 6:21
  And
• 6:22
  if
• 6:22
  you've
• 6:22
  been
• 6:22
  asleep
• 6:23
  for
• 6:23
  like
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  last
• 6:25
  almost
• 6:25
  40
• 6:25
  years,
• 6:26
  you
• 6:27
  might
• 6:27
  not
• 6:27
  know
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  the
• 6:28
  Teenage
• 6:28
  Mutant
• 6:28
  Ninja
• 6:28
  Turtles
• 6:29
  have
• 6:29
  been
• 6:29
  around
• 6:30
  that
• 6:30
  long.
• 6:30
  They've
• 6:31
  been
• 6:31
  ubiquitous,
• 6:32
  actually,
• 6:32
  for
• 6:32
  almost
• 6:33
  40
• 6:33
  years.
• 6:34
  In
• 6:34
  comic
• 6:34
  books,
• 6:35
  on
• 6:35
  toy
• 6:35
  shelves,
• 6:36
  on
• 6:36
  TV
• 6:36
  screens.
• 6:37
  As
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  mentioned,
• 6:38
  in
• 6:38
  live
• 6:39
  action
• 6:39
  movies
• 6:39
  and
• 6:40
  video
• 6:40
  games.
• 6:41
  Everyone
• 6:42
  knows
• 6:42
  who
• 6:42
  you
• 6:43
  mean
• 6:43
  when
• 6:44
  you
• 6:44
  mention
• 6:44
  Leonardo,
• 6:45
  Raphael,
• 6:46
  Michelangelo
• 6:47
  and
• 6:47
  Donatello.
• 6:48
  Everyone
• 6:48
  knows
• 6:49
  they
• 6:49
  love
• 6:49
  pizza.
• 6:50
  And
• 6:50
  a
• 6:51
  few
• 6:51
  years
• 6:51
  after
• 6:51
  their
• 6:52
  last
• 6:52
  cinematic
• 6:53
  outing,
• 6:53
  it
• 6:54
  was
• 6:54
  decided
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  reboot
• 6:55
  them
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  bring
• 6:55
  new
• 6:56
  ideas
• 6:56
  to
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  sewer
• 6:57
  with
• 6:57
  one
• 6:58
  of
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  most
• 6:58
  unique
• 6:59
  looking
• 6:59
  animated
• 7:00
  movies
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  recent
• 7:01

• 12:42
  The
• 12:43
  company
• 12:43
  was
• 12:43
  named
• 12:43
  Mirage
• 12:44
  because

  there
• 12:45
  was
• 12:45
  no
• 12:45
  actual

  company.

  While

  it
• 12:58
  to

  Laird,
• 12:58
  who
• 12:58
  did
• 12:59
  indeed
• 12:59
  laugh,
• 12:59
  and

  then

  to

  draw

  his

• 13:02
  Eastman
• 13:02
  retaliated

  by

  drawing

  Well,

  he

  of
• 15:12
  their
• 15:12
  favorite
• 15:12
  Renaissance
• 15:13
  artists.
• 15:14
  Leonardo

  da

  Vinci,
• 15:16
  Michelangelo
• 15:16
  di

  Urbino.
• 15:24
  The

  latter

  three
• 15:25
  were
• 15:25
  known

  mononymously
• 15:26
  as
• 15:27
  Michelangelo,
• 15:28
  Donatello
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  Raphael.
• 15:29
  Thankfully,
• 15:30
  because
• 15:31
  at
• 15:31
  least
• 15:31
  da
• 15:31
  Vinci
• 15:32
  is
• 15:32
  easy
• 15:32
  to
• 15:32
  pronounce,
• 15:34
  the
• 15:34
  names
• 15:34
  would
• 15:34
  be
• 15:35
  shortened

  to

  Leo,

  Mikey,

  Raph.
• 15:38
  Their

  and

  the

• 15:42
  were
• 15:42
  virtually

  identical
• 15:43
  in

  appearance.
• 15:44
  So

  Eastman

  and

  Laird
• 15:45
  differentiated

  choice

• 15:51
  Michelangelo

  Donatello

  mastered

  and
• 15:56
  Raphael
• 15:57
  favored

  the

  Like

  years

  to

  be

  officially

  corrected.
• 16:17
  Those

  the

  it

  it

  was

  a

  seriously,

  they

  it

  despite

  being

  But

  himself

  wouldn't

  And

  shortly

  after,

  Nickelodeon

  announced

  which

  honestly

  I

  tried

  So

  I

  from

  2018,

  he

  did

  both

  simultaneously
• 22:46
  was
• 22:46
  Brian

  Robbins,
• 22:48
  and
• 22:48
  he
• 22:48
  felt
• 22:48
  the
• 22:48
  Ninja
• 22:49
  Turtles
• 22:49
  would
• 22:50
  you
• 22:50
  a
• 22:50
  reboot
• 22:51
  and
• 22:51
  sought
• 22:52
  advice
• 22:52
  from
• 22:52
  Playmates
• 22:53
  Toys
• 22:53
  as

  to

  what
• 22:54
  to
• 22:54
  do
• 22:54
  with
• 22:54
  the
• 22:55
  product.
• 22:56
  Their
• 22:56
  advice
• 22:56
  was
• 22:56
  simple.
• 22:57
  Ditch
• 22:58
  live
• 22:58
  action
• 22:58
  Turtles
• 22:59
  movies
• 23:00
  and
• 23:00
  go
• 23:00
  back
• 23:00
  to
• 23:00
  animation.
• 23:02
  The
• 23:02
  franchise
• 23:02
  in
• 23:02
  total
• 23:03
  had
• 23:03
  accumulated
• 23:04
  $1.15
• 23:05
  billion
• 23:06
  across
• 23:07
  six
• 23:07
  movies
• 23:08
  from
• 23:08
  three
• 23:08
  studios
• 23:09
  since
• 23:09
  1990,
• 23:11
  so
• 23:11
  it
• 23:11
  was
• 23:11
  potentially
• 23:12
  lucrative.
• 23:13
  The
• 23:14
  next
• 23:14
  question
• 23:14
  was
• 23:15
  who
• 23:15
  in
• 23:16
  Hollywood
• 23:16
  would
• 23:16
  naturally
• 23:17
  be
• 23:17
  a
• 23:17
  huge
• 23:18
  Turtles
• 23:18
  fan
• 23:19
  and
• 23:19
  wanted
• 23:20
  on
• 23:20
  a
• 23:20
  new
• 23:20
  Turtles
• 23:21
  movie?
• 23:21
  He
• 23:22
  consulted

  with

• 23:23
  Animation
• 23:23
  president
• 23:24
  Ramsay
• 23:24
  Naito
• 23:25
  and
• 23:26
  their
• 23:26
  first
• 23:26
  thought
• 23:26
  was
• 23:27
  Seth
• 23:27
  Rogen.
• 23:28
  So
• 23:28
  Robbins
• 23:29
  called
• 23:29
  Rogan
• 23:30
  and
• 23:30
  asked
• 23:30
  him
• 23:30
  the
• 23:31
  question,
• 23:31
  was
• 23:32
  he
• 23:32
  ever
• 23:32
  a
• 23:33
  Turtles
• 23:33
  fan?
• 23:34
  45
• 23:35
  minutes
• 23:35
  later
• 23:36
  he
• 23:36
  had
• 23:36
  his
• 23:37
  definitive
• 23:37
  answer
• 23:38
  and
• 23:38
  in
• 23:38
  June
• 23:39
  2020
• 23:39
  it
• 23:40
  was

  Not

• 24:14
  Rowe

  met

  with

  Rogan

  And

  Ro

  He

  The

  initial

  was

  Superbad,

  which

  In

  Shredder

  they

  According

  Kid

• 28:29
  They

  needed

  a

  group
• 28:30
  of

  kids

  who

  easily

  have

  been

  raised

  together.
• 28:33
  When

  asked
• 28:34
  in

  an

  interview
• 28:34
  with

  Slash

  film

  about

  the

  growing

  out
• 28:37
  of

  the

  roles,
• 28:37
  Jethro
• 28:38
  said
• 28:38
  they
• 28:39
  would
• 28:39
  lean
• 28:39
  into
• 28:39
  the
• 28:40
  changes
• 28:40
  and
• 28:41
  those
• 28:41
  changes
• 28:41
  would
• 28:42
  also
• 28:42
  make
• 28:42
  the
• 28:43
  Turtles
• 28:43
  change.
• 28:44
  The
• 28:45
  four
• 28:45
  boys
• 28:45
  would
• 28:45
  record
• 28:46
  together.
• 28:46
  They
• 28:47
  would
• 28:47
  improvise
• 28:47
  their
• 28:47
  dialogue
• 28:48
  and
• 28:48
  insult
• 28:49
  each
• 28:49
  other
• 28:49
  in
• 28:49
  character.
• 28:50
  They
• 28:50
  weren't
• 28:51
  grown
• 28:51
  adults
• 28:52
  pretending
• 28:52
  to
• 28:52
  be
• 28:52
  teenagers
• 28:53
  saying
• 28:54
  cowabunga
• 28:54
  dude.
• 28:55
  They
• 28:55
  were
• 28:55
  just
• 28:56
  teenagers
• 28:56
  allowed
• 28:57
  to
• 28:57
  be
• 28:57
  teenagers.
• 28:58
  And
• 28:58
  every
• 28:59
  single
• 28:59
  scene
• 28:59
  required
• 29:00
  the
• 29:00
  four
• 29:00
  co
• 29:00
  stars
• 29:01
  to
• 29:01
  be
• 29:01
  in
• 29:01
  the
• 29:01
  room
• 29:02
  at
• 29:02
  the
• 29:02
  same
• 29:02
  time.
• 29:03
  That's
• 29:04
  not
• 29:04
  common
• 29:04
  practice
• 29:05
  at
• 29:05
  all
• 29:05
  in
• 29:06
  animation,
• 29:06
  but
• 29:07
  Jeff
• 29:07
  Rowe
• 29:07
  liked
• 29:08
  the
• 29:08
  idea
• 29:08
  of
• 29:08
  all
• 29:09
  four
• 29:09
  characters
• 29:10
  talking
• 29:10
  over
• 29:10
  each
• 29:11
  other,
• 29:11
  which
• 29:12
  is
• 29:12
  very
• 29:12
  naturalistic
• 29:13
  in
• 29:14
  everyday
• 29:14
  life,
• 29:14
  but
• 29:15
  very
• 29:15
  uncommon
• 29:16
  in
• 29:16
  movies
• 29:16
  and
• 29:17
  especially
• 29:17
  in
• 29:17
  animated
• 29:18
  movies
• 29:19
  because
• 29:19
  usually
• 29:19
  lines
• 29:20
  have
• 29:20
  to
• 29:20
  be
• 29:20
  separated
• 29:21
  out
• 29:21
  for
• 29:21
  the
• 29:22
  sake
• 29:22
  of
• 29:22
  clarity.
• 29:23
  What's
• 29:24
  more,
• 29:24
  their
• 29:25
  movements
• 29:25
  were
• 29:25
  filmed
• 29:26
  giving
• 29:26
  the
• 29:26
  animators
• 29:27
  a
• 29:27
  physical
• 29:28
  basis
• 29:28
  on
• 29:29
  which

  to

  form

  the

  Animated

• 29:32
  The

  four

  boys

  generally

  stuck

  to

  the

  rules
• 29:35
  for
• 29:35
  what
• 29:35
  they

  could

  and

  couldn't

  say.

  Ice

  Cube,
• 29:38
  not
• 29:38
  so
• 29:38
  much.
• 29:39
  This
• 29:39
  is

  a

  PG

  movie.

  Cube.
• 29:41
  Apparently
• 29:42
  they
• 29:42
  do
• 29:43
  have
• 29:43
  some
• 29:43
  good
• 29:43
  outtakes
• 29:44
  of
• 29:44
  Ice
• 29:44

• 29:45
  that

  are

  not

  suitable

  for

  children,
• 29:47
  shall
• 29:47
  we
• 29:47
  say?
• 29:48
  Jeff
• 29:48
  Rowe
• 29:49
  was
• 29:49
  skeptical
• 29:49
  about
• 29:50
  making
• 29:50
  April
• 29:51
  Puke
• 29:51
  Girl,
• 29:51
  thinking
• 29:52
  it
• 29:52
  might
• 29:52
  be
• 29:52
  a
• 29:52
  little
• 29:53
  too
• 29:53
  puerile
• 29:54
  for
• 29:54
  a
• 29:54
  teenage
• 29:55
  animated
• 29:55
  Turtles
• 29:56
  movie.
• 29:56
  But
• 29:56
  they
• 29:57
  needed
• 29:57
  a
• 29:57
  way
• 29:57
  of
• 29:57
  making
• 29:58
  April
• 29:58
  a

  social

  her

• 30:00
  And

  anyone

  who's

  done

  anything
• 30:02
  embarrassing

  in

  high

  knows

  that

  doing

  something
• 30:05
  like
• 30:05
  puking
• 30:06
  in

  public
• 30:07
  is
• 30:07
  a
• 30:07
  really
• 30:08
  quick
• 30:08
  and
• 30:08
  easy

  way

  Joining

  with

  Cinesite

  coming

  21

• 30:39
  The

  supposed

  And

  once

  again,

  Jeff

  Rowe

  had

  tried

  something

  different

  with

  they

  be

  even

  less

  compromising

  the

  They

  human,

  not

  computer

  keep

  In

  this

  Being

  a

  hard.

  It's

  emotional,

  They

  The

  of

  which

  made

  They

  sure

  to

  utilize

  props

  that

  the

  Animating

  this

  movie
• 33:35
  in

  2D
• 33:35
  meant

  they

  could

  actually

  render

  the

• 33:37
  faster

  than
• 33:39
  if

  they

  used

  traditional

  CG

  animation.
• 33:42
  Cinesite's
• 33:43
  artists
• 33:43
  worked

  in

  collaboration

  with

  Mikros

• 33:49
  But
• 33:49
  Cinesight's
• 33:50
  crew
• 33:50
  only
• 33:51
  had
• 33:51
  experience
• 33:51
  in
• 33:52
  cgi
• 33:52
  and
• 33:53
  so
• 33:53
  they
• 33:53
  had
• 33:53
  to
• 33:53
  quickly
• 33:54
  learn

  how

  to

  To

  speed
• 33:56
  up
• 33:56
  the

• 33:57
  They

  sought

  they

  had

  to

  fast,

  because

  when

  they

  Cinesite
• 34:09
  team
• 34:09
  were
• 34:09
  given
• 34:09
  character

  models
• 34:10
  and
• 34:10
  blend
• 34:11
  shapes
• 34:11
  from
• 34:11
  Mikros,
• 34:12
  which
• 34:12
  were
• 34:13
  then
• 34:13
  rigged
• 34:13
  in
• 34:13
  house
• 34:14
  and
• 34:14
  shared
• 34:14
  with
• 34:14
  the

  animators.
• 34:16
  The
• 34:16
  Cinesite
• 34:16
  team
• 34:17
  built
• 34:17
  the
• 34:17
  character
• 34:18
  of
• 34:18
  Cynthia
• 34:18
  Utrom
• 34:19
  from
• 34:19
  scratch,
• 34:20
  though
• 34:21
  Mutant
• 34:21
  mayhem
• 34:22
  is
• 34:22
  also
• 34:22
  animated
• 34:23
  on
• 34:23
  twos,
• 34:24
  where
• 34:24
  every
• 34:24
  pose
• 34:25
  is
• 34:25
  held
• 34:25
  for
• 34:25
  an
• 34:25
  extra
• 34:26
  frame
• 34:26
  to
• 34:27
  give
• 34:27
  scenes
• 34:27
  a
• 34:27
  more
• 34:27
  frantic
• 34:28
  and
• 34:28
  frenzied
• 34:29
  energy.
• 34:30
  This
• 34:30
  meant
• 34:30
  dealing
• 34:30
  with
• 34:31
  a
• 34:31
  lot
• 34:31
  more
• 34:31
  layers
• 34:31
  than
• 34:32
  traditional
• 34:32
  cg
• 34:33
  and
• 34:33
  to
• 34:33
  do
• 34:34
  it
• 34:34
  quicker,
• 34:34
  animators
• 34:35
  were
• 34:35
  encouraged
• 34:36
  to
• 34:36
  make
• 34:36
  it
• 34:37
  less
• 34:37
  pretty,
• 34:38
  less
• 34:38
  accurate,
• 34:39
  less
• 34:39
  perfect,
• 34:40
  such
• 34:40
  as
• 34:40
  when
• 34:40
  a
• 34:41
  right
• 34:41
  handed
• 34:41
  artist
• 34:42
  was
• 34:42
  creating
• 34:42
  something
• 34:43
  a
• 34:43
  little
• 34:43
  too
• 34:44
  perfect,
• 34:44
  they
• 34:45
  would
• 34:45
  be
• 34:45
  advised
• 34:45
  to
• 34:46
  instead
• 34:46
  do
• 34:46
  it
• 34:46
  with
• 34:47
  their
• 34:47
  left
• 34:47
  hand
• 34:48
  to
• 34:48
  give
• 34:48
  the
• 34:48
  scene
• 34:49
  a
• 34:49
  more
• 34:49
  imperfect
• 34:50
  feel.
• 34:51
  And
• 34:51
  the
• 34:52
  ending,
• 34:52
  after
• 34:52
  a
• 34:53
  huge
• 34:53
  battle
• 34:53
  fighting
• 34:54
  against
• 34:54
  huge
• 34:55
  Kaiju
• 34:55
  Super
• 34:56
  Duper
• 34:56
  Fly
• 34:57
  simply
• 34:57
  ends
• 34:57
  with
• 34:57
  the
• 34:58
  turtles
• 34:58
  finally
• 34:59
  achieving
• 34:59
  their
• 34:59
  dream
• 34:59
  of
• 35:00
  attending
• 35:00
  high
• 35:00
  school
• 35:01
  after
• 35:02
  the
• 35:02
  fear
• 35:02
  of
• 35:02
  not
• 35:02
  being
• 35:03
  accepted
• 35:03
  leads
• 35:04
  to
• 35:04
  these
• 35:04
  kids
• 35:05
  fighting
• 35:05
  the
• 35:05
  bad
• 35:05
  guy
• 35:06
  despite
• 35:06
  the
• 35:06
  fact
• 35:07
  humans
• 35:07
  may
• 35:07
  never
• 35:08
  accept
• 35:08
  them,
• 35:08
  which
• 35:09
  leads
• 35:09
  to
• 35:09
  them
• 35:10
  being
• 35:10
  accepted
• 35:10
  into
• 35:11
  school.
• 35:12
  But
• 35:12
  the
• 35:12
  animation
• 35:13
  teams
• 35:13
  had
• 35:13
  a
• 35:14
  bit
• 35:14
  of
• 35:14
  a
• 35:14
  technical
• 35:14
  problem
• 35:15
  when
• 35:15
  it
• 35:15
  came
• 35:15
  to
• 35:15
  that
• 35:16
  final
• 35:16
  scene
• 35:17
  because
• 35:17
  they
• 35:17
  were
• 35:17
  working
• 35:18
  with
• 35:18
  the
• 35:18
  two
• 35:18
  animation
• 35:19
  teams
• 35:19
  at
• 35:19
  Cinesite
• 35:20
  and
• 35:20
  Mikros.
• 35:21
  Cinesight
• 35:22
  had
• 35:22
  the
• 35:22
  sewer
• 35:23
  backdrop
• 35:23
  and
• 35:23
  the
• 35:23
  turtles
• 35:24
  wearing
• 35:24
  masks,
• 35:25
  and
• 35:25
  Mikros
• 35:26
  were
• 35:26
  animating
• 35:27
  the
• 35:27
  school
• 35:27
  part.
• 35:28
  And
• 35:28
  they
• 35:28
  had
• 35:29
  the
• 35:29
  turtles
• 35:29
  wearing
• 35:30
  no
• 35:30
  masks
• 35:30
  and
• 35:31
  school
• 35:31
  clothes.
• 35:32
  And
• 35:32
  the
• 35:32
  question
• 35:32
  became
• 35:33
  how
• 35:33
  to
• 35:33
  transition
• 35:34
  from
• 35:34
  one
• 35:34
  vendor
• 35:34
  to
• 35:35
  the
• 35:35
  other
• 35:35
  when
• 35:36
  one
• 35:36
  set
• 35:36
  of
• 35:36
  turtles
• 35:37
  wore
• 35:37
  masks
• 35:37
  and
• 35:38
  the
• 35:38
  other
• 35:38
  didn't.
• 35:39
  They
• 35:39
  needed
• 35:40
  a
• 35:40
  way
• 35:40
  for
• 35:40
  the
• 35:40
  turtles
• 35:40
  to
• 35:41
  take
• 35:41
  off
• 35:41
  the
• 35:41
  masks
• 35:42
  without
• 35:42
  physically
• 35:43
  taking
• 35:43
  off
• 35:43
  the
• 35:44
  masks.
• 35:45
  Due
• 35:45
  to
• 35:45
  budget
• 35:46
  and
• 35:46
  timescale
• 35:47
  constraints,
• 35:47
  Cinesite
• 35:48
  couldn't
• 35:49
  have
• 35:49
  them
• 35:49
  remove
• 35:50
  their
• 35:50
  masks
• 35:50
  in
• 35:50
  that
• 35:51
  scene,
• 35:51
  and
• 35:51
  Mikros
• 35:52
  wasn't
• 35:53
  able
• 35:53
  to
• 35:53
  add
• 35:53
  masks.
• 35:54
  So
• 35:55
  rather
• 35:55
  than
• 35:55
  go
• 35:55
  from
• 35:55
  one
• 35:56
  scene
• 35:56
  with
• 35:56
  masks
• 35:57
  and
• 35:57
  the
• 35:57
  next
• 35:57
  without,
• 35:58
  producer
• 35:59
  Ramsay
• 35:59
  McBean
• 36:00
  suggested
• 36:00
  a
• 36:00
  transitional
• 36:01
  shot
• 36:01
  of
• 36:02
  Raphael's
• 36:02
  mask
• 36:03
  floating
• 36:03
  down
• 36:03
  from
• 36:04
  the
• 36:04
  manhole
• 36:04
  cover,
• 36:05
  which
• 36:05
  was
• 36:05
  an
• 36:05
  excellent
• 36:06
  way
• 36:06
  to
• 36:06
  transition
• 36:07
  from
• 36:08
  one
• 36:08
  scene
• 36:08
  to
• 36:08
  another
• 36:09
  without
• 36:09
  having
• 36:10
  to
• 36:10
  spend
• 36:10
  additional
• 36:11
  time
• 36:11
  and
• 36:11
  money
• 36:12
  to
• 36:12
  generate
• 36:12
  that
• 36:13
  additional
• 36:13
  animation.
• 36:14
  And
• 36:14
  this
• 36:15
  is
• 36:15
  the
• 36:15
  perfect
• 36:15
  time
• 36:15
  to
• 36:16
  segue
• 36:16
  into
• 36:16
  the
• 36:16
  obligatory
• 36:17
  Keanu
• 36:17
  reference
• 36:18
  of
• 36:18
  this
• 36:19
  episode.
• 36:20
  And
• 36:20
  if
• 36:20
  you're
• 36:20
  new
• 36:20
  here
• 36:20
  and
• 36:20
  you're
• 36:21
  not
• 36:21
  sure
• 36:21
  what
• 36:21
  that
• 36:21
  is,
• 36:22
  this
• 36:22
  is
• 36:22
  a
• 36:22
  part
• 36:22
  of
• 36:23
  the
• 36:23
  podcast
• 36:23
  where
• 36:23
  I
• 36:23
  try
• 36:23
  and
• 36:23
  link
• 36:24
  every
• 36:24
  movie
• 36:24
  that
• 36:24
  I
• 36:24
  feature
• 36:25
  with
• 36:25
  Keanu
• 36:25
  Reeves
• 36:26
  for
• 36:26
  no
• 36:27
  reason
• 36:27
  other
• 36:27
  than
• 36:28
  he
• 36:28
  is
• 36:28
  the
• 36:28
  best
• 36:29
  of
• 36:29
  men.
• 36:30
  Trust
• 36:30
  me
• 36:30
  when
• 36:31
  I
• 36:31
  say
• 36:31
  this
• 36:31
  gets
• 36:32
  no
• 36:32
  easier,
• 36:33
  because
• 36:33
  despite
• 36:33
  Keanu
• 36:34
  Reeves
• 36:34
  being
• 36:34
  in
• 36:35
  a
• 36:35
  lot
• 36:35
  of
• 36:35
  movies,
• 36:36
  he's
• 36:37
  never
• 36:37
  been
• 36:37
  in
• 36:37
  a
• 36:37
  Teenage
• 36:38
  Mutant
• 36:38
  Ninja
• 36:38
  Turtles
• 36:39
  movie.
• 36:39
  At
• 36:39
  least
• 36:40
  I
• 36:40
  don't
• 36:40
  believe
• 36:40
  he
• 36:40
  was
• 36:41
  one
• 36:41
  of
• 36:41
  the
• 36:41
  original
• 36:41
  Teenage
• 36:42
  Mutant
• 36:42
  Ninja
• 36:43
  Turtles
• 36:43
  in
• 36:43
  1990.
• 36:44
  This
• 36:44
  is
• 36:44
  a
• 36:44
  very
• 36:45
  tenuous
• 36:45
  link,
• 36:46
  but
• 36:46
  I'm
• 36:46
  going
• 36:46
  to
• 36:46
  go
• 36:46
  with
• 36:47
  it.
• 36:47
  Keanu
• 36:48
  has
• 36:48
  never
• 36:48
  starred
• 36:49
  with
• 36:49
  a
• 36:49
  Turtle
• 36:50
  or
• 36:50
  in
• 36:51
  a
• 36:51
  Turtles
• 36:51
  movie,
• 36:52
  but
• 36:53
  he
• 36:53
  does
• 36:54
  wear
• 36:54
  a
• 36:54
  splendid
• 36:55
  turtleneck
• 36:56
  in
• 36:56
  Something's
• 36:57
  Gotta
• 36:57
  Give.
• 36:57
  And
• 36:58
  when
• 36:58
  I
• 36:58
  said
• 36:58
  it
• 36:58
  was
• 36:58
  tenuous,
• 36:59
  I
• 36:59
  genuinely
• 36:59
  mean
• 36:59
  it
• 37:00
  is.
• 37:00
  But
• 37:00
  that
• 37:01
  is
• 37:01
  the
• 37:01
  easiest
• 37:02
  way
• 37:02
  for
• 37:02
  me
• 37:02
  to
• 37:02
  link
• 37:03
  Keanu
• 37:03
  Reeves
• 37:04
  to
• 37:04
  a
• 37:04
  Turtles
• 37:05
  movie.
• 37:05
  And
• 37:06
  I'm
• 37:06
  very
• 37:06
  sorry
• 37:07
  to
• 37:07
  all
• 37:07
  the
• 37:07
  Turtles
• 37:08
  fans
• 37:08
  out
• 37:08
  there
• 37:09
  that
• 37:09
  I
• 37:09
  have
• 37:09
  seriously
• 37:10
  disappointed
• 37:11
  with
• 37:12
  any
• 37:12
  other
• 37:12
  way
• 37:12
  of
• 37:12
  linking
• 37:13
  Keanu
• 37:13
  Reeves
• 37:14
  to
• 37:14
  this
• 37:14
  movie.
• 37:15
  In
• 37:15
  many
• 37:16
  ways,
• 37:16
  this
• 37:16
  production
• 37:17
  was
• 37:17
  blessed
• 37:18
  with
• 37:19
  the
• 37:19
  talent
• 37:19
  of
• 37:20
  both
• 37:20
  the
• 37:20
  cast
• 37:20
  and
• 37:21
  crew,
• 37:21
  having
• 37:22
  movies
• 37:22
  like
• 37:22
  the
• 37:23
  Mitchells
• 37:23
  versus
• 37:23
  The
• 37:23
  Machines
• 37:24
  and
• 37:24
  Spider
• 37:25
  man
• 37:25
  into
• 37:25
  the
• 37:25
  Spider
• 37:26
  verse,
• 37:26
  giving
• 37:27
  it
• 37:27
  more
• 37:27
  of
• 37:27
  an
• 37:28
  artistic
• 37:28
  license
• 37:29
  to
• 37:29
  look
• 37:29
  different
• 37:29
  and
• 37:30
  take
• 37:30
  chances.
• 37:31
  And
• 37:31
  I
• 37:32
  genuinely
• 37:32
  believe
• 37:32
  without
• 37:33
  those
• 37:33
  movies
• 37:33
  existing,
• 37:35
  this
• 37:35
  movie
• 37:35
  wouldn't
• 37:36
  exist
• 37:36
  in
• 37:37
  the
• 37:37
  way
• 37:37
  that
• 37:37
  it
• 37:37
  currently
• 37:37
  does.
• 37:39
  And
• 37:39
  they
• 37:39
  wanted
• 37:39

  a

  it

  genuinely

  one

  of

  the

  could

  have

  done.
• 38:11
  And
• 38:11
  that

  was

  a

• 38:14
  The

  to

  this

  was

  Blackstreet's

• 38:20
  That

  one

  songs

  of

  all

  So

  the

  fact
• 38:23
  again
• 38:23
  that

  it's

  so

  because

  I

  it

  was
• 38:28
  the

  perfect
• 38:29
  song
• 38:29
  for
• 38:29
  that

• 38:31
  And

  there's

  so

  much

  I

  I

• 38:36
  it

  has

  one

  but

  it

  actually

  pushed

  them

  to

  make

  age.
• 45:23
  This
• 45:24
  movie
• 45:24
  is
• 45:24
  fundamentally
• 45:25
  about
• 45:25
  the
• 45:25
  importance
• 45:26
  of
• 45:26
  family,

  found

  Don't

• 45:35
  was

  Finally.

  And

  since
• 45:40
  I
• 45:40
  was
• 45:40
  a
• 45:40
  kid,
• 45:41
  my
• 45:41
  favorite
• 45:41
  turtle
• 45:41
  was
• 45:42
  Leonardo.
• 45:42
  I
• 45:43
  don't
• 45:43
  suppose
• 45:43
  that's
• 45:44
  many
• 45:44
  people's
• 45:44
  favorites,
• 45:45
  but

  he

  was
• 45:45
  always
• 45:46
  mine.
• 45:48
  This

  some

  To

  have
• 45:59
  adult
• 45:59
  voices
• 45:59
  on
• 46:00
  these
• 46:00
  characters
• 46:00
  would
• 46:01
  feel
• 46:01
  so
• 46:01
  off
• 46:01
  putting.
• 46:02
  And
• 46:02
  these
• 46:03
  kids
• 46:03
  are
• 46:03
  so
• 46:04
  great
• 46:04
  and
• 46:04
  clearly
• 46:05
  having
• 46:05
  the
• 46:05
  best
• 46:06
  time.
• 46:06
  And
• 46:06
  the
• 46:07
  turtles
• 46:07
  themselves
• 46:07
  aren't
• 46:08
  fully
• 46:08
  formed
• 46:09
  fighting
• 46:09
  machines,
• 46:10
  but
• 46:10
  teenage
• 46:11
  kids
• 46:11
  who
• 46:11
  make
• 46:12
  mistakes
• 46:12
  and
• 46:13
  make
• 46:13
  do
• 46:13
  with
• 46:13
  big
• 46:14
  sticks.
• 46:15
  What
• 46:15
  does
• 46:15
  it
• 46:15
  mean
• 46:15
  to
• 46:16
  be
• 46:16
  a
• 46:16
  teenager?
• 46:17
  It's
• 46:17
  a
• 46:17
  period
• 46:17
  of
• 46:18
  time
• 46:18
  we
• 46:18
  all
• 46:18
  go
• 46:18
  through
• 46:19
  and
• 46:19
  we
• 46:19
  all
• 46:19
  think
• 46:19
  we're
• 46:20
  going
• 46:20
  to
• 46:20
  be
• 46:20
  a
• 46:20
  kid
• 46:20
  forever,
• 46:21
  but
• 46:21
  we
• 46:21
  all
• 46:22
  grow
• 46:22
  up
• 46:22
  eventually.
• 46:23
  It
• 46:23
  fully
• 46:24
  embraces
• 46:24
  all
• 46:25
  the
• 46:25
  aspects
• 46:25
  of
• 46:25
  the
• 46:26
  title.
• 46:26
  Teenage.
• 46:27
  Actual
• 46:28
  teenagers
• 46:29
  experiencing
• 46:29
  teenage
• 46:30
  things.
• 46:31
  Mutant.
• 46:32
  This
• 46:32
  could
• 46:32
  easily
• 46:33
  be
• 46:33
  seen
• 46:33
  as
• 46:33
  a
• 46:33
  body
• 46:34
  horror
• 46:34
  movie
• 46:34
  suitable
• 46:35
  for
• 46:35
  kids
• 46:35
  because
• 46:36
  the
• 46:36
  looks
• 46:36
  are
• 46:36
  pretty
• 46:37
  grotesque.
• 46:38
  Ninja.
• 46:38
  They're
• 46:39
  obviously
• 46:39
  trained
• 46:39
  by
• 46:39
  Jackie
• 46:40
  Chan.
• 46:40
  And
• 46:41
  turtles.
• 46:41
  They
• 46:42
  may
• 46:42
  be
• 46:42
  mutants,
• 46:42
  but
• 46:43
  they're
• 46:43
  still
• 46:43
  turtles.
• 46:44
  And
• 46:44
  mutant
• 46:45
  mayhem.
• 46:45
  There's
• 46:46
  so
• 46:46
  much
• 46:46
  mutant
• 46:46
  mayhem
• 46:47
  and
• 46:47
  the
• 46:47
  mutants
• 46:48
  themselves
• 46:48
  are
• 46:48
  so
• 46:49
  well
• 46:49
  designed
• 46:49
  and
• 46:50
  I'll
• 46:50
  say
• 46:50
  it,
• 46:50
  they're
• 46:51
  all
• 46:51
  so
• 46:51
  lovable
• 46:51
  because
• 46:52
  they
• 46:52
  actually
• 46:52
  see
• 46:53
  that
• 46:53
  Superfly's
• 46:54
  way
• 46:54
  of
• 46:54
  doing
• 46:54
  things
• 46:55
  isn't
• 46:55
  right.
• 46:56
  And
• 46:56
  fundamentally
• 46:57
  this
• 46:57
  is
• 46:57
  a
• 46:57
  movie
• 46:58
  about
• 46:58
  trying
• 46:58
  to
• 46:59
  do
• 46:59
  the
• 46:59
  right
• 46:59
  thing.
• 47:00
  I
• 47:00
  adore
• 47:01
  this
• 47:01
  movie
• 47:02
  so
• 47:02
  much
• 47:02
  and
• 47:02
  I
• 47:03
  think
• 47:03
  the
• 47:03
  reason
• 47:03
  why
• 47:03
  I
• 47:04
  love
• 47:04
  it
• 47:04
  so
• 47:04
  much
• 47:05
  is
• 47:05
  because
• 47:05
  this
• 47:06
  is
• 47:06
  a
• 47:06
  movie
• 47:06
  that
• 47:06
  was
• 47:06
  made
• 47:07
  with
• 47:07
  a
• 47:07
  genuine,
• 47:08
  deep
• 47:09
  and
• 47:09
  sincere
• 47:09
  love
• 47:10
  for
• 47:10
  these
• 47:10
  characters.
• 47:11
  You
• 47:11
  don't
• 47:11
  need
• 47:12
  to
• 47:12
  be
• 47:12
  a
• 47:12
  fan
• 47:12
  of
• 47:12
  the
• 47:12
  Turtles
• 47:13
  to
• 47:13
  enjoy
• 47:13
  it,
• 47:14
  but
• 47:14
  if
• 47:14
  you
• 47:14
  are,
• 47:15
  the
• 47:15
  chances
• 47:15
  are
• 47:15
  you'll
• 47:16
  love
• 47:16
  this
• 47:16
  version
• 47:16
  of
• 47:17
  the
• 47:17
  characters
• 47:17
  for
• 47:18
  giving
• 47:18
  you
• 47:18
  something
• 47:19
  new.
• 47:19
  And
• 47:19
  there's
• 47:20
  something
• 47:20
  to
• 47:20
  be
• 47:20
  said
• 47:21
  about
• 47:21
  studios
• 47:22
  like
• 47:22
  this
• 47:22
  taking
• 47:23
  an
• 47:23
  existing
• 47:24
  IP
• 47:24
  and
• 47:25
  doing
• 47:25
  something
• 47:25
  with
• 47:26
  it
• 47:26
  that
• 47:26
  actually
• 47:26
  has
• 47:27
  love
• 47:27
  for
• 47:27
  the
• 47:27
  characters
• 47:28
  rather
• 47:28
  than
• 47:29
  we
• 47:29
  just
• 47:29
  want
• 47:29
  to
• 47:29
  make
• 47:30
  some
• 47:30
  money.
• 47:30
  You
• 47:31
  can
• 47:31
  tell
• 47:31
  when
• 47:31
  something's
• 47:32
  a
• 47:32
  cash
• 47:32
  grab
• 47:33
  and
• 47:33
  you
• 47:33
  can
• 47:33
  tell
• 47:33
  when
• 47:33
  something
• 47:34
  is
• 47:34
  made
• 47:34
  with
• 47:34
  a
• 47:35
  genuine
• 47:35
  desire
• 47:35
  to
• 47:36
  make
• 47:36
  something
• 47:36
  great.
• 47:37
  And
• 47:37
  this
• 47:37
  movie
• 47:38
  is
• 47:38
  very
• 47:38
  much
• 47:39
  the
• 47:39
  latter.
• 47:40
  The
• 47:40
  Turtles
• 47:41
  aren't
• 47:41
  meant
• 47:41
  to
• 47:41
  be
• 47:41
  overly
• 47:42
  serious
• 47:42
  superheroes.
• 47:43
  They're
• 47:44
  just
• 47:44
  a
• 47:44
  bunch
• 47:44
  of
• 47:44
  kids
• 47:45
  who
• 47:45
  are
• 47:45
  trying
• 47:46
  their
• 47:46
  best
• 47:46
  and
• 47:47
  they're
• 47:47
  cool
• 47:47
  and
• 47:48
  fun
• 47:48
  and
• 47:49
  love
• 47:49
  listening
• 47:49
  to
• 47:49
  east
• 47:50
  coast
• 47:50
  hip
• 47:50
  hop
• 47:50
  and
• 47:51
  eat
• 47:51
  pizza.
• 47:52
  They
• 47:52
  might
• 47:52
  argue
• 47:53
  and
• 47:53
  disagree,
• 47:54
  but
• 47:54
  they're
• 47:54
  brothers
• 47:55
  and
• 47:55
  they're
• 47:55
  trying
• 47:56
  their
• 47:56
  best
• 47:56
  to
• 47:56
  make
• 47:57
  the
• 47:57
  world
• 47:57
  a
• 47:57
  better
• 47:57
  place.
• 47:58
  Whether
• 47:58
  you're
• 47:59
  a
• 47:59
  human,
• 47:59
  a

  or

  whatever

  scumbag
• 48:04
  is.
• 48:06
  Thank
• 48:06
  you

  for

  listening.

  you

• 49:14
  So
• 49:14
  the

  next
• 49:14
  episode
• 49:15
  animation
• 49:15
  season
• 49:16
  continues
• 49:17
  into
• 49:17
  February
• 49:18
  with
• 49:18
  a
• 49:19
  movie
• 49:19
  intended
• 49:19
  to
• 49:19
  revitalize
• 49:20
  Disney's
• 49:21
  hand
• 49:21
  drawn
• 49:21
  animated
• 49:22
  features
• 49:23
  as
• 49:23
  well
• 49:23
  as
• 49:23
  its
• 49:24
  Broadway
• 49:24
  style
• 49:25
  musicals.
• 49:26
  This
• 49:26
  is
• 49:26
  a
• 49:27
  movie
• 49:27
  that
• 49:27
  had
• 49:27
  everything.
• 49:28
  A
• 49:28
  strong
• 49:28
  willed
• 49:29
  female
• 49:29
  lead,
• 49:30
  a
• 49:30
  handsome
• 49:31
  prince,
• 49:31
  talking
• 49:32
  animal,
• 49:32
  sidekicks,
• 49:33
  and
• 49:33
  a
• 49:34
  memorable
• 49:34
  villain.
• 49:35
  And
• 49:35
  then
• 49:35
  the
• 49:36
  controversy
• 49:36
  started,
• 49:37
  firstly
• 49:38
  around
• 49:38
  the
• 49:38
  lead
• 49:38
  character's
• 49:39
  name,
• 49:40
  her
• 49:40
  job,
• 49:41
  then
• 49:41
  against
• 49:41
  the
• 49:41
  setting
• 49:42
  and
• 49:42
  the
• 49:43
  title
• 49:43
  of
• 49:43
  the
• 49:44
  movie.
• 49:45
  But
• 49:45
  it
• 49:45
  also
• 49:45
  holds
• 49:46
  the
• 49:46
  distinction
• 49:46
  of
• 49:46
  being
• 49:47
  Disney's
• 49:47
  first
• 49:48
  African
• 49:48
  American
• 49:49
  princess
• 49:49
  movie,
• 49:50
  being
• 49:50
  directed
• 49:51
  by
• 49:51
  Disney
• 49:51
  royalty
• 49:52
  John
• 49:52
  Musker
• 49:53
  and
• 49:53
  Ron
• 49:53
  Clements,
• 49:54
  and
• 49:54
  being
• 49:55
  stunningly
• 49:55
  beautiful.
• 49:57
  It's
• 49:57
  not
• 49:57
  the
• 49:57
  Frog
• 49:58
  Princess,
• 49:59
  but
• 49:59
  it
• 49:59
  is
• 49:59
  the
• 49:59
  Princess
• 50:00
  and
• 50:00
  the
• 50:00
  Frog.
• 50:01
  It's
• 50:01
  not
• 50:01
  Disney's
• 50:02
  last
• 50:02
  attempt
• 50:03
  at
• 50:03
  hand
• 50:03
  drawn
• 50:03
  animation,
• 50:04
  but
• 50:04
  one
• 50:05
  of
• 50:05
  them.
• 50:06
  And
• 50:06
  it's
• 50:06
  such
• 50:06
  a
• 50:07
  vibrant
• 50:07
  and
• 50:07
  wonderful
• 50:08
  movie
• 50:08
  and
• 50:09
  so
• 50:09
  deserving
• 50:09
  of
• 50:10
  more
• 50:10
  respect
• 50:10
  than
• 50:10
  it
• 50:11
  ever
• 50:11
  got.
• 50:12
