The Full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy in 4K Is on Sale for $29.99

If you're a '90s kid like me, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie trilogy is like capturing your entire childhood in a nutshell - half-shell. All three movies, released between 1990 and 1993, are now available in this comprehensive 4K collection from Arrow Video. Despite an MSRP of $100, the set can be found at Walmart for just $29.99, a truly remarkable deal.

To put things into perspective, the Ninja Turtles were as popular in the early nineties as Taylor Swift is today, but even more ubiquitous. They graced TV screens with a hit cartoon show, appeared in comic books and toy aisles, were featured on T-shirts, thermoses, and lunchboxes at school, and even filled lunch boxes at school.

The trio consisted of mutant turtle teens Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, who battled Shredder and the Foot Clan under the wise guidance of Splinter the rat. The three movies, all rated PG and suitable for kids, blend action comedy, with the first one being the darkest in tone, possibly influenced by Tim Burton's Batman.

The second installment, TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze, leans more towards comedy, featuring slapstick action and daffy villains Tokka and Rahzar. The third installment, TMNT III, set the reptilian heroes in feudal Japan for a time-traveling adventure, making it the least serious of the three.

Despite being released decades ago, these movies are still enjoyable today. Considering this is the cheapest time the set has ever been offered, it's an easy decision for a '90s kid looking to relive their childhood.
