lions gate home entertainment

and today the city
welcomes emperor allister,

ruler of malacuria,

and his daughter,
princess mallory.

The emperor is here
to sell the mining rights

to a newly discovered
deposit of lidium 90

in his native malacuria.

Harder than diamond,
more beautiful than gold,

lidium 90 just may be

the most valuable element
on earth.

This is April O'Neill,
channel 6 news.

April,
I thought channel 6

was supposed to
report happy news.

Ohh, I'm sorry.

But when I hear
about diamonds and gold,

I can only think
of one thing--

an engagement ring,

which, as you can see,

I've got a severe
shortage of.

We'll talk about it
later, Irma.

Right now I've got
to cover the party

at the malacurian
embassy tonight.

You're not going
like that, are you?

Well, of course.
What's wrong?

You can't go
to a fancy party

looking like that.

Come on, I'll have you
looking like a new woman

in no time.

Why would I want to
look like a new woman?

'Cause it's the best way
to find a new man.

Oh, krang,

this cooling system
you built is useless.

It's hotter than Japanese
horseradish in here.

And now another
capacitator is down.

The technodrome
needs more power!

KRANG: I think I know
where we can find some.

Where?

Lidium 90

is the most powerful
source of energy

yet found on this
miserable earth.

Even a fragment
this small

would power
the technodrome

out of this inferno.

If it's that valuable,
it will be heavily guarded.

How will we get it?

I'll think of something.
I always do.

Oh, what is that,
sensei?

It's called tekamaki--
raw tuna roll.

Have some, Michelangelo.

Whoa, major gross out.
No, thanks.

A wise person embraces

as many new experiences
as possible.

Master splinter,

perhaps you'd like
to try some pizza.

It's marshmallow
and pepperoni.

Ugh!

The wise person
also realizes

that
some experiences

are less embraceable
than others.

Wow! Talk about
embraceable.

Who is that?

Hi, guys. It's me.

Gosh, April. You look
just like a...Girl.

You look
lovely.

Truly tubuloso.

Yeah, you clean up
real good.

April, you make
this ancient rodent

feel young again.

Thanks, guys.

You're all just a bunch
of big green sweeties,

and you're the nicest
rodent I know.

And now I'm off
to the malacurian embassy

to cover a fancy party.

I think we should
keep an eye on her.

Better yet, two.

Mondo notion, dude.

Well, what are we
waiting for?

Let's go.

[ALL SHOUTING]

Watch my shell,
buddy.

Father, I will not be
chauffeured about

and looked after
like a child.

You are the princess
of malacuria,

and you will not leave
this embassy unescorted.

Now please prepare
for the masquerade.

I hate masquerades!

You always make me go
as a princess.

Oh, no.

It's a costume party.

Now I'll have to
go home and change.

Just a moment, you!

What's going on here?

Oh, I'm sorry,
your highness.

I didn't know
it was you.

Your highness?

But I'm not--

you should not be
out here alone.

You must come with us.

It is time to dress
for the masquerade.

Heh. Sure, fellas.
Whatever you say.

Heh heh. [SNORTS]

This is a real
great plan, boss.

Oh, yeah.
I love this plan.

Um, what was it
again?

The plan,
you pathetic peons,

is to kidnap
princess mallory

and ransom her
for the lidium 90.

If you followed
my instructions,

we should be
directly beneath

the embassy basement.

Yeow!
Ohh!

You cretins.
This isn't the basement!

What's going on
there?

Quickly,
hide the module.

Are you here
for the costume ball?

Costume ball?
What costume--

of course we are.

You will take us
there at once.

As you wish.

Nice costumes, sir--

especially the, um,
creatures.

Thank you.
I made them myself.

Well, Donatello,
what do you see?

Shredder and
his 2 freakazoids.

Guys, I think we better
take a closer look.

Right, dudes.
Let's scope out the action.

Oh, another
princess costume.

This is so boring.

Father will be furious,
but I'd rather see the city

than a bunch
of stuffy officials

in some silly costumes.

Good evening,
your highness.

Hmm, I could get
to like this.

Your highness?
Hello?

Hmm.

As long as everyone
thinks I'm the princess,

I might as well
go along with it.

Maybe I can get
an exclusive story out of this.

Oh, why couldn't we
stay at the party, boss?

We're real
party animals.

They also had
my favorite chow--

shrimp puffs
and cheese dip.

If you don't stop whining,

I'll dip you in something
a lot less pleasant than cheese.

THIS IS IT:
The princess' room.

[BEEP BEEP]

What a time
for the turtlecom.

[BEEP BEEP]

April here.
What's up?

April,
are you all right?

We just spotted shredder
and his 2 henchmutants.

Oh, you fellas are
so sweet to worry about me.

I'm in princess
mallory's room

on the trail
of a hot story--

grab her!

With pleasure.

Let go of me, you--oh!

April? April?

April, answer me!

April!

She doesn't answer.
Something's wrong.

Yeah, and that something
sounds like shredder.

Ooh, that does it.

We've got
to get in that place.

Like how?

We're not exactly first
on the guest list.

Hey, chill out, dudes.

This won't be the first
party we've crashed.

Michelangelo's right.
Let's do it!

I think that's where
we need to be.

Alley-oop, guys.

Up you go.

Which way now?

Hey, I smell...Pizza!
That way.

Pizza?
At an embassy party?

Hey, bud,

you can be a head honcho
and still have good taste.

Wow, dudes!
Fabuloso blast!

Too bad we won't have
time to enjoy it.

We're here
to find April.

Faster, you fools!

We must get the princess
back to the technodrome.

Ooh ooh, you mean before
it turns into a pumpkin?

That was a different
princess, you bimbo.

All them princesses
look alike to me.

Stop!

Where are you
taking the princess?

We ain't got time
to explain, chum.

Aaaah!

Going down?

Please face the front
of the car. [SNORTS]

Mallory?

Mallory, my dear,
are you ready?

Mallory!

There's a note
of some sort.

"We have the princess.

We will trade her
for your lidium 90."

Guards!

Princess mallory
has been kidnapped!

Seal all the exits.

No one leaves this embassy
until she's found.

Immediately,
your grace.

What's this?

It looks like
some kind of turtle shell.

I'll take this.
Perhaps it's a clue.

[CRASH]
Ohh!

They must be sealing off
the escape routes.

Blast through the floor!

Quickly!

Does this mean we don't
get no shrimp puffs?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hoo hoo hoo! What
a marvelous costume.

Would you
care to dance?

Well, actually, no.

How very scintillating.

What do you
call that step?

Turtle twirl.

[APPLAUSE]

All right!
Finally!

Do you see April?

No. Something better.

It's pizza!

Or at least it will be
when it grows up.

Ladies and gentlemen,

no one is to leave
this embassy.

Princess mallory
has been kidnapped.

Oh, I bet
old shredhead's

grabbed her, too.

April said she was
in the princess' room.

Maybe she saw
something.

Excuse us, lady.
Emergency.

Yeah, sorry.

Our dance card
is full.

Kindly cooperate
by showing your invitations

and removing
your face masks.

Uh-oh. Major problemo,
dudes.

We don't
have invitations.

Worse than that,

we don't have
face masks.

Maybe we can slip out
in the confusion.

Gentlemen,

you will please
remove your masks.

Heh. Whatever you say.

Your face masks,
please.

Ow!

That hurts, bud.

Soldiers, they must have
dropped this shell

in mallory's room.

Guards, seize them!

Come on!
Oof!

It's a lovely party,
but we really can't stay.

Please, don't get up.

Cowabunga!

Excitable group,
aren't they?

This will hold them.

Now to find April.

And the princess--
wherever she is.

REPORTER: And to repeat
tonight's top story,

princess mallory
has been kidnapped

from the malacurian
embassy.

No, I haven't.
I'm right here.

Oh, poor father.

I've got to get back
to the embassy.

Taxi, taxi!

Bebop, blast the doors.

We're in the basement.

Now to find a way
out of here.

Ooh! Oh, let me go,
you slobbering beast.

Just wait till the turtles
get their hands on you.

Wait. That voice--
it sounds familiar.

Just as I thought.

This isn't
princess mallory,

you moronic mutants.

It's April O'Neill.

The dame reporter?

What are we
gonna do, boss?

We're going to make
the best of a bad situation.

Shredder,
everywhere you go

is a bad situation.

P.A.: Attention, kidnappers.

I have the lidium 90
in a helicopter

waiting for you
on the embassy roof.

Please let my daughter go!

They think we
have the princess.

Oh, I have an idea.

Unh! Well,
so have I!

After her!

Aah! Unh!
Ooh!

Oof!
Oof!

She got away.

After her,
you klutzes!

If shredder heard
that announcement,

he's on his way
to the roof.

How do we get there?

This place has more twists
than a pretzel factory.

I have a feeling
it's that way.

Halt!

Hands in the air
or we'll open fire.

Well, so much
for feelings.

For the last time,
where is the princess?

Well, fellas, I guess
we have to tell them.

ALL: She went that way!

Seize them!

Stop! Leave them alone.

Oh, April, are we
glad to see you.

April?
What?

April? Who is April?

You are, remember?

Maybe that new hairdo

is pulling your brain
too tight.

Mind how you speak

to the princess
of malacuria.

The princess?

I have heard tales
of you turtles,

but I am curious
as to why you are here.

We're searching for
our friend April O'Neill.

She looks just like you,
your highness.

Yeah, so much so
that we think

she got kidnapped
instead of you.

Oh, no.

We must
get to the roof.

Come, we'll take
the back stairs.

Make sure the exits
stay sealed.

Yes, your highness.

One of these doors
should lead to the roof,

but which one?

Maybe it's this one.

You should have tried
door number two.

Boo! Got you!

You may not be the princess,
but you look enough like her

to ensure our safe getaway--

if you keep that
pretty little mouth shut.

Not a chance,
shredder.

As you wish.

I sure hope
that's clean.

[DONATELLO PANTING]

Are we...Are we
almost there?

PRINCESS: Yes.
Just a few more steps.

Mallory!

[MUFFLED SCREAMS]

You fiends!

Ha ha. Nevertheless,
a deal is a deal.

Rock steady,
get the lidium 90.

Right, boss.

You have
what you want.

Now release
my daughter.

Only after I get
where I'm going.

And don't try
to follow us.

[SNORTS] You pulled
it off, boss.

Stop that chopper!

SHREDDER:
The turtles!

Oh, no, you don't,
shredder!

Oh, yes, I do,
you bothersome turtles.

This time I won't lose.

Aah!
Whoa!

Remember, kids,
we're professionals.

Don't try this
at home.

[TURTLES SCREAMING]

Oh, my poor daughter.

What will become
of her?

Father!

Mallory, you're safe!
But who's--

it's a long story.

Whoa!
Whoa!

Whoa!
Whoa!

Whoa, I think
I'm losing my grip, guys!

We've known that
for a long time.

I can't hold on
much longer!

You won't have to.
Look.

The turtle blimp!

Yeah.
I stashed it there.

I thought it might
come in handy.

Great! Let's go!

Banzai!

Fire up the turtle blimp,
Donatello.

We've got to get
April back.

Come in, krang.
Are you there?

Where else would I be,
out nightclubbing?

I'm 10 Miles beneath
the surface of the earth!

SHREDDER: I have
the lidium 90.

Send a module alongside
the art museum.

Ha ha! For once
you've done something right.

h* h*! Nothing
can stop me now!

LEONARDO: Stop
right there, shredder!

You're too late,
turtles.

Which way
did they go?

This way.

After 'em, fellas!

Cowabunga!

Oh, can we stop
and blast them, boss?

Huh? Can we? Can we?

Yeah. They're
like sitting ducks.

There's no time.

The module is
on its way.

Donatello,
what's happening?

Beats me.

Krang, what--
what happened?

Where's the module?

It's inside
the museum.

Inside the museum?

You fool! You fouled up
the triangulation.

So sue me.

Into the museum!
Hurry!

They're
going inside.

So are we.

Now, where's
that blasted module?

[SQUEAK]

Something tells me
it's there.

Hey, dudes,
sculpt this out.

Yeah, I may not
know about art,

but I know what I like.

Turtles, help!

APRIL: Help!
Over here!

It's April!
This way!

Like, how are we
going to find her?

Yeah, there are so many
rooms in this place.

Well, looks like
we're in luck.

DONATELLO: And shredder's
has just run out.

Oh, no! It's those
wretched amphibians again.

Now can we
blast them, boss?

Blast away,
my moronic mutants!

Stop!

I am placing you
under house arrest.

Much as I hate to disobey
a royal command...

Uhh!

We've got
to stop them.

It's no use.

It won't budge.

Aah, watch out!

Ooh!
Ow! Hey!

Ow!
Ooh!

What was that?

Krang must've flooded
the tube with lava.

It looks like shredder
beat us this time.

No, he didn't.

The lidium 90 sample
is worthless.

Worthless?

Lidium 90
is highly unstable.

Subjecting it to pressures

like those found


will cause it
to disintegrate,

maybe even explode.

Explode?

Awesome concept.

How about that?

Old tin grin
got faked out.

By the way,
congratulations.

Your turtle costumes
won first prize.

Yeah, I guess they are
kind of original.

Oh, no, not
for originality,

for ridiculousness.

Here, krang,
the lidium 90.

Give it here.
Give it! Give it!

What's
going on here?

I don't know,

but I'm not waiting
to find out.

[COUGHING]

Shredder, you idiot!

I could have been
blown to bits!

So sue me.

And that's how
it all happened, sensei.

You have done
well, my turtles.

Thank you,
master splinter.

As for you, April,

I hope this has
taught you a lesson.

It certainly has.

I learned
that a disguise

is a great way
to get a story.

There's a convention
of bald-headed diplomats

in town next week.

Maybe I could pass
as one of them.

Well, what do you think?

Paint that thing
green,

and you can pass
as one of us.

[TURTLES LAUGHING]
