lions gate home entertainment

this week alone,

shredder's probe modules
have surfaced here,

here and here.

Meaning what?

Meaning if we can
figure out a pattern,

we might get a fix

on the exact location
of the technodrome.

Like, all I care is

it's down there,
and we're up here.

For now.

But you never know
what kind of scheme

tin grin is
cooking up next.

You are right,
Leonardo.

Constant vigilance
is the best weapon

against tyrants.

Still worried about
shredder's next move, I see.

Well,
give your brains a rest

and help me decide where
I should spend my vacation.

Oh, a little r 'n' r, huh?

Yes, but these places
look so lovely

I just can't make up
my mind.

To journey without
a point is pointless.

I hear Florida is nice
this time of year.

Hey, what's
that shaking?

Whoa. Talk about
bad vibes.

Do you suppose

krang is causing
another earthquake?

We'd better get topside

and find out
what's going on.

Come on, turtles!

Wait for me!
I smell a news story.

That's not
all you smell.

These are the sewers,
you know.

Like, how are we
gonna find

what's causing
all this shaking?

I don't think that will be
too hard, Michelangelo.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Now there's something
you don't see every day.

Holy guacamole!
It's humongous!

A dinosaur!

It's a real,
live dinosaur!

A diplodocus,
to be exact.

They were, uh,
are plant eaters.

Huge, but harmless.

Dude, you've got
a really weird definition

of harmless.

Harmless or not, we've
got to stop that thing.

Turtle power!

He's what you might call
a c*ck optimist.

Let's scare it toward
the river.

I hate to be
a spoil sport,

but exactly how
do we do that?

Yeah, I left
my nuclear bazooka

in my other shell.

Get out!
Yeah, get out!

Get out of here!
Go on!

Aah! Huh?

Whoa!

Boy, he really hung me
out to dry.

Whoa. Dig it, dudes.

I think he wants
to get down and party.

Yeah, well,
a 20-ton dinosaur

can't party in
the middle of the city.

[WHINING]

Watch out!
Runaway tail!

Now what?

We've got to go
after it.

Like, how come?

'Cause if we didn't,

it wouldn't be much
of an episode.

Oh, right.

It's gone.

DONATELLO:
Vanished completely.

Well, at least he won't
be hard to follow.

Help! Unh!

Hey, way to go,
Michelangelo.

You solved the mystery
of the disappearing dinosaur.

Forget about that!

How about solving
the case

of the terrified
turtle?

Where do you think
it leads?

I don't know,
but we're going to find out.

I was afraid
he might say that.

You incompetent imbeciles!

Instead of that
silly deplodocus,

why didn't you send up
something fierce

to deal
with the turtles--

like, a...
Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Gee, boss,

it ain't easy getting
dinosaurs to obey.

Yeah, they're all
muscle and no brains.

I won't say it.

It's too easy.

[BEEP]

What is it, krang?

Stop that
petty bickering

and get on with
what you came for!

I'm still not certain
why you probed us up

to this subterranean
prehistoria?

I told you before--

we need that crystal.

Its radiation can
recharge our power cells,

if we can
cross the jungle

and take
possession of it.

Simple.
We'll use one of

the antigravitation
skimmers.

Really? You're
in for a few surprises.

Krang, you mustn't
worry so much.

You'll put lines

in that handsome face
of yours.

All right, shredder,

find out
the hard way.

It's your funeral.

We're approaching
the crystal now, krang.

[SNORTS]

This will be
a piece of cake.

Aiee!
Aaah!

Aah! Aah!

What's going
on here?

Krang, the skimmer
is losing power!

I tried to warn you.

The crystal's
radiation

canceled out the
antigravity rays.

I tried to tell you.

But would
you listen?

No!

Yeow!
Yeow!

A piece of cake,
someone said?

It looks more like
a mud pie to me!

Sometimes I really
crack myself up.

I'm so glad you're
amused, krang.

Have you
figured out a way

to get the crystal?

Rest assured,
I'm working on it.

I don't believe it.

A prehistoric world.

Still in
the dinosaur stage.

Sealed off
for millions of years.

But how did
we get here?

I got a hunch one of
shredder's modules

broke through
the outer chamber.

Uh-oh,
here comes

one of their flying
welcome wagons.

[AAK]

Whoa!
Whoa!

[ROARS]

[GULP] Now I know

what an anchovy
on my pizza feels like.

[GRRR]

Is that
what I think it is?

It sure is.

A tyrannosaurus Rex--

the most
ferocious flesh-eater

that ever lived.

Maybe this one's
a vegetarian.

So much for that idea.

[GRRR]

[GRRR]

Looks like they're
fighting over lunch.

I wonder if they'll fight
this hard over the check?

Let's not wait
around to find out.

Everybody ok?

I'll let you know as soon as my
pulse catches up to me.

Now what?

Whatever it is,

be ready for it!

[WHIMPERS]

All right! It's
the colossal fossil.

It's ok.
He won't hurt us.

Unless he climbs
into our laps.

Hey,
chill, dude.

That tickles.

I think he likes you,
Michelangelo.

This is great.

Nobody's going
to mess with us

while we're on
dippy' back.

Dippy?

Yeah, dippy
the diplodocus.

Look!

It look like a bunch
of shredder's modules!

You were right,
Donatello,

they did break
through the crust.

Let's kick some shell.

Hang on, guys.

The diplodocus express
is on its way.

Since we can't
use the skimmers

to reach
the crystal,

we'll just have
to do it on foot.

All right, mutants,
into the jungle.

Sure thing, banana.

That's bwana.
Now, move it.

Every day,
the same boring image.

Maybe I should think
about subscribing to cable.

Wait. What's this?

The turtles!

How did they get there?

No matter.

I'll send
those interfering reptiles

a welcoming committee.

Faster, my sl*ves.

Faster!

At last, a fortress

that even the turtles
cannot overwhelm.

And should they try,

they'll be
in for a few surprises.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

[WHIMPERS]

Uh-oh.
Rock soldiers.

And they're headed
straight for us!

Hey, no problem.

Dippy will
take care of them.

That blasted dinosaur.

I'll show him

who's the dominant
life form around here.

[CRIES]
Aaah!

Whoa!
Whoa!

Oh, yuck. Tar!

Yeah,
and we're, like,

sinking deeper.

Don't give up.

Maybe someone
will come along

and pull us out.

Right.
Like some archaeologist,


years from now.

Dippy,
all is forgiven.

Just get us
out of this.

Thanks, big guy.

Oh, and I thought

melted mozzarella
was gooey.

Whoa!

Unh!
[Aaak!]

Hey, where's
Michelangelo?

Aah! Unh!

Heh heh! Now you know
what you'll get

if you cross a turtle
with a Turkey.

That is
oh so humoroso.

Following dinosaurs
into large holes

wasn't a very smart plan.

Donatello's right.

Even with
dippy's help,

we can't keep up
with those modules.

[ARR]
[ARR]

So much for dinosaurs.

Now down to business.

Rock steady, bebop,
get that crystal.

All right, boss.

[SNORTS] Waah!

Uhh! Ohh!

You clumsy cretins.

It's too slick,
boss. [SNORTS]

We can't climb it.

Ooh,
I got a idea.

Neat idea.

Stop, stop, stop!

Look at that!

Those look
like laser beams.

Yeah. Either
these dino dudes

are putting on
a light show or...

Or shredder
and his g*ng

are up to
their old tricks.

Let's go, dippy. Mush.

You idiots could have
blasted it to pieces!

Now, treat that
crystal gently.

Almost got it, boss.

Ow! Watch it!

Whoa!
Ow!

Got it!

And we've got you,
shredder!

The turtles!

Even in the lost world
I can't lose you.

This microwave ray
will assure them

of a warm reception.

APRIL: The lava!
It's melting!

Oh!
Whoa!

There's never an ice age around
when you need one.

Help!
Aah!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Rock steady, bebop,
follow me.

[SNORTS] And I wanted
to watch the turtles

get their lava lumps.

This way, dippy.
You can do it.

Atta boy.
Way to go.

You did it!
Hooray, dippy!

We made it!

But just barely.

I'm a mere shell
of my former self.

Quick, Donatello!

Shredder and his henchmutants
are getting away!

You heard him, dippy.
Huh?

Whoa!

It's the crystal
that was up there.

I think he misses it.

Wow!

Oh, more than that.

I've got a feeling that
crystal's a source of life

to the creatures here
in this prehistoric world.

Without it,
they just might perish.

So, like, what
are we waiting for?

Yeah.
Let's get it back.

[RAAHR]

Here it is, krang--
your precious crystal.

Well,
it's about time.

Hmm. Shredder,

this crystal
is exactly like you.

You mean
it's flawless?

No. I mean
it's cracked!

A crack? Where?

Right there.

Shredder, you
metal-faced moron,

this ruins
everything.

A crack like this
will distort

the crystal's
molecular harmonics.

Its entire energy flow
will be flawed.

This is all your fault.

I told you to
handle it carefully.

But, boss, [SNORTS]

You was the one
who dropped it.

Quiet, you idiot!

Stop your squabbling,
all of you!

I see once again

I'll have to save
your pathetic posteriors.

[WHIMPERS]

Poor thing. He's really
taking this hard.

Really.

It's like he's got a heavy
relationship going

with that glowing
disco ball.

But why does
shredder and krang

want the crystal?

They're probably planning

to use
its special properties

to power up
the technodrome.

That means we've got
to break into

that fortress of krang's
and get it back.

How do we get
in there?

That's a good question,
April.

A little more
to the right.

Don't you have
anything better to do

than comment?

Actually, no.

I've already set up
foot and rock soldier patrols

around the fortress.

Good idea.

I'm surprised
you thought of it.

[POUNDING]

Now what?

Someone or something's
pounding on the hull.

Whoever it is,

tell them
we don't want any.

We're not getting
anywhere this way.

I'm not surprised.

The walls
are 3 feet thick

and pure titanium.

Nice try, dippy,
but no cigar.

I hate to admit it,
but we turtles need help.

[RAAHR]

[RUMBLING]

What's that rumbling noise?

For once, it's not
Michelangelo's stomach.

Oh, what's going on?

I think I know.
Watch.

Woo-hoo! Looks like dippy
called in heavy hitters!

Uh-oh.
They're busting in.

Impossible. No one can
break into this place.

Krang!
Use the laser cannons!

I can't. I need
all the power here.

Turtle power!
Turtle power!

It's every mutant
for himself!

Try to beat
a strategic retreat,

but with dignity.

Yeow!

What a
glorious mess.

Exactamundo.

Just like
my bedroom.

Come on, we've got
to stop krang

before he uses
that crystal.

It's fixed.

Now to use it

to recharge the
technodrome's power cells.

Never mind
the crystal.

We've got
bigger problems.

What could be
bigger than this?

I rest my case.

Don't touch
that dial, dude!

You're too late,
turtles.

I'm recharging
the technodrome

at this very moment.

Haven't you heard,
brain bag?

It's never too late.

Aah!

Wee shah ooh baah!

It ain't going
to be that easy,

shell backs!

Whoa!
Unh!

Quick.
Grab the crystal.

Not so fast, turtles.

You must still
deal with me.

Turtles fight
with honor.

Yes,
but I fight dirty.

I got it!

Yeah, you mean
you had it.

Hey! Pass interference!

To me, rocky!
I'm open!

Intercepted in the end zone
by the green machine.

Cowabunga!

They're getting away!

Correction--
they've gotten away.

And it's back to the
technodrome for us.

Shredder,
you're benched!

Oh, I was afraid
you'd say that.

There, good as new.

This tar
makes a perfect patch.

Thanks for the help, dippy.

Now that the crystal
is back where it belongs,

it's time for us to head
back up to the surface.

So long, big fella.

Poor dippy.

He's really
gonna miss us.

Hey, April,
maybe you ought to

come back here
for your vacation.

Huh? To a prehistoric
continent?

Sure. What more
could you ask for?

You've got gorgeous
tropical sunsets.

Yeah. And warm,
loving friends.

[SCREECH]

Aah!

And flights leaving
every half hour.

Hey, come on!

Let's get her
back here!

APRIL: Help!
