[SCREAMING]

Come on, alien scum!

Make my night!

[ANNOUNCER]
This is Rondo!

Oh, man,
this is too much!

How can you guys
watch that big phony?

Dude, he's no phony.

Rondo's totally cool!

It's only a commercial
for his new movie, Raphael.

Yeah, and look
what April got us:

four tickets to
the premier of it.

Rondo VIII: Hit Hardest.

Yeah, I think I'll wait
for the home video.

And I need to do
my ninja workout.

Don't pass
this one up, dudes.

The theater is serving
free pizza.

On the other hand...

It is a unique
cultural event.

And we wouldn't want
to disappoint April.

Where are you going,
Donatello?

The movie doesn't start
for a couple of hours.

Oh, April arranged
for me to use

the City College
biology lab this week.

There's April now.

This is April O'Neil

here at the elegant
Bijou Theater

for the premier
of a new movie.

In a moment, I'll have
an exclusive interview

with the star,
Rondo himself.

Stay tuned to Channel 6.

Ugh, another
movie star interview?

Why can't I cover
some real news?

[KRANG]
Shredder, look at this!

What is it, Krang?

Have you won the lottery.

Bigger, better.

I have established
a computer link

to the biology laboratory
at City College on Earth.

A student there
is working on a substance

called a vitalizer.

Is this where I'm supposed
to ask what it does?

I'll tell you anyway.

A vitalizer can bring
inanimate objects to life.

Imagine, Shredder!

Limitless armies
of zombie-like objects

under my command.

The thought sends
shivers down my spine.

You don't have a spine.

Always the cheap shot,
huh, Shredder?

But never mind that.

We must have
that vitalizer.

It could give us--

Enough! Enough!

We'll leave immediately.

Splendid.
I'll activate the portal.

Boy, this City College lab
has some incredible equipment.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

[GASPS]

You're a Ninja Turtle!

Well, Donatello to be exact.

I never knew you had
an interest in science.

Man does not live
by turtle food alone.

I'm Oswald Duran.

I've been working on
an experimental substance

called a vitalizer.

A vitalizer?

Yeah-huh. It activates
the molecules

of inanimate objects.

Wow.

That would be a major
scientific breakthrough.

Except that someone
is tapping into my computer

and changing the numbers.

It's as if he's trying
to guide my work.

Hmm, I wonder if that's
Krang and Shredder's doing.

They'd love to get
their hands on a vitalizer.

Krang? Shredder?
Who are they?

Uh, you're better off
not knowing.

[WATCH BEEPS]
Uh-oh. I'm off to work.

I'm a part-time
projectionist
at The Bijou.

Oh, I'm headed there too!
We can go together.

Find that vitalizer!

Hoo-hoo, look!
It's Cheezy and Sleazy.

Ooh, ooh!
My favorite show!

Stop watching
those stupid cartoons

and find the vitalizer!

[CAT SCREECHING]

[BEBOP]
Hey!

Cheezy and Sleazy
jumped out of the TV!

See, I told you
they was real.

But how can cartoons
come to life, boss?

Only one way.

That student
must have succeeded

in creating the vitalizer!

But where is he?

Maybe he took it
to the movies?

To the movies?

Yeah. Look, boss.

Well, well.

We'll give them a show
they won't soon forget.

Rondo, I'm sure
your many fans
want to know:

what are you really like?

Oh, I'm no different,
really,

from any other filthy rich,
pampered superstar.

Whoa, totally epic.
Rondo in the flesh.

A moment that will be etched
in my memory forever.

Now where's the free pizza?

From humble beginnings,
I worked my way up

to where I am today:
big, tough, and mean.

[MICHELANGELO]
The dude is shrimp-sized.

Isn't movie magic
wonderful?

So long, fans.

Don't miss me
in my latest adventure,

Rondo VIII: Hit Hardest.

For you, babe.

This is April O'Neil
live for Channel 6 News,

signing off.

Hi, fellas.

I'm glad you could
make it.

Pizza is our pied piper.

See you later, Donatello.

Right, Oswald.

That's Oswald.

He's the film
projectionist.

Yo, dudes, if we stand
around here any longer,

we'll miss the mozzar--
The, uh, movie!

Heh...heh ha!

[MONSTERS GROWLING]

[SIGHS]
How much longer
is this movie?

Too long.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

[RAPHAEL LAUGHING]
Now this I like!

Those shadows
look mondo familiar.

It's Shredder
and the mutants!

They're in
the projection booth.

And they're after Oswald.

Let's stop 'em!

[SHREDDER]
Give that to me!

[OSWALD]
No! Donatello told me
all about you!

You'll never get
my vitalizer!

The Turtles!

The Ninja Turtles!

Oh, am I ever glad
to see you!

Now I have what I need!

Rocksteady, deal with
those shellbacks.

Right, boss.

This rock
is going to roll!

[TURTLES YELLING]

[CHEERING]

The audience thinks
this is part of the show.

Well, I am insulted.

This is better
than that movie.

Give me that vitalizer.

Whoa, you've made me
spill it.

[GROWLING, SNARLING]

The vitalizer brought those
movie monsters to life!

Ah!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

This is your movie.
Do something!

I am. I'm getting
out of here.

[BEBOP]
I'm out of here!

Oh, no!

Look out for that pillar!

Oh, no!

Thanks for the rescue,
you big lug,

but put me down!

Those creatures
are getting away
with April.

[SCREAMING]
[ROARING]

We've got to save her.

h* h*, those movie monsters

will keep the Turtles
busy for a while.

We must take
this vitalizer
back to Krang.

[APRIL]
Help!

Someone help!

They're up there!

[APRIL]
Put me down!

[WHISTLES]

Hey, Big and Ugly,
drop that lady now!

[SCREAMS]

Ooh!

Oh, thanks a lump,
Raphael.

[GROWLING]

[TURTLES]
Whoa!

Oh, no!

[TURTLES]
Whoa!

[MICHELANGELO]
Take that, alien dudes!

Donatello, would you
mind explaining

how those movie monsters
came to life?

Me? How should I know?

Well, who would know?

[OSWALD]
Oh, I'm sorry, folks.

It's the formula
I invented

that brought those
creatures to life.

Brilliant move.

Well, you've got
to figure out a way

to put those monsters
back on the movie screen

where they belong.

Come on, Oswald,
let's get back to your lab

and see what we can do.

Right, Donatello.

Meanwhile, I'm off
to Channel 6

to cover the story.

[RUMBLING]

What was that?

Rondo. Why were you
hiding in that crate.

Uh, who? Me?

Wait a minute.
Who are you?

We're the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And you're just
the one to help us
find those creatures.

Uh, sorry.
Late for a meeting.

[MICHELANGELO]
Dude, you've got to help.

Us fans are counting
on you.

My fans?

Well, that's different.

[MELODRAMATICALLY]
You can count on Rondo!

All right, dude!

Oh, ow!
Oh, oh, ouch!

[WHIMPERING]
Did you have to
do that so hard?

Yeah, I think we've
got big problems.

Oh, what a relief.

We must have
scared them off.

[GROWLING]

Oh, please don't
let them hurt me.

Rondo, you're frightened?

No, not frightened.

Petrified!

Mama!

The dude is a total wimp.

[RAPHAEL]
Hey, those creatures

are going after Rondo
instead of us.

They must think they're
still in the flick.

Come on, Turtles.
We've got a hero to save!

[DONATELLO]
You mean you don't remember
how you mixed the vitalizer?

Uh, no.

But if that Krang fellow
was helping me

through this
computer link-up,

the data should still
be in the computer.

I hope you're right.

[MONSTERS ROARING]

Oh, no.
Stay away, please.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Look, you can see
those car's headlights

right through the creatures.

So what?

So, maybe we can
use it against them.

It's working!
Come on, guys.

Hit the lights!

Fantabuloso!
They don't dig light.

That means they'll
be easier to fight
in the daylight.

But there's still
a lot of darkness left.

This is all the vitalizer
you could find?

Don't worry!

It's more than enough
to terrorize

the people of earth.

Oh? And what are you going
to terrorize them with?

More Cheezy and Sleazy
cartoons?

Oh, so you heard
about that, huh?

[ELECTRONIC WARBLING]

Someone is operating
the City College computer.

They must not get
the vitalizer formula!

You must stop them!

[SIZZLING]

[DONATELLO]
Well, that formula
didn't work either.

Oh, let's not use
this footage.

It's the scene where Rondo
is trapped in a pit

full of poisonous snakes.

That sounds like
just the scene
I'm looking for.

Shredder!

It's turtle-tramplin' time!

[RAPHAEL]
Why are we here,
Michelangelo?

Did those movie monsters
own a condominium?

No, but Rondo does.

I saw it on
Entertainment Tomorrow.

Oh, yeah?

So which condo
belongs to Rondo?

[LAUGHS]

I'm sorry.
I just couldn't resist.

Well, actually,
it's the penthouse.

We'll take
the turtle elevator!

I know it's
a silly question,

but why didn't we just
take the regular elevator?

I prefer the element
of surprise.

[SKIDDING OBJECT]

[ALL]
Whoa!

[RAPHAEL]
You're right, Leonardo.

It works every time.

Ugh!

Got you, Rondo.

[RONDO]
Oh, no.
My favorite sofa.

Suddenly, the phrase
"on the ropes"

takes on a whole new meaning.

Thanks to your vitalizer,

the famous monsters
of film land

will soon be appearing
all over the city.

Allow me to give you a preview
of coming attractioattractionss.

[SNAKES HISSING]

Oh, no.
Poisonous snakes!

[STRAINING]
Ugh. Come on, Oswald.

We've got to get
out of here.

[GROANS]
I'm trying!

[HISSING]

[OSWALD]
Another Rondo?

That's not the real Rondo.
That's the movie Rondo.

Ah-hah! Two people
who need my help!

Or is it one person
and a turtle?

Heeyah!
Hiyah!

So much for those reptiles.

Now, to set you two free.

Gee, thanks, Mr. Rondo.

Now, if you folks
will excuse me,

I've got a couple
of monsters to stop.

Now that Rondo is brave.

Of course. Movie heroes
are always brave.

Let's go, Oswald.

He'll lead us
to the Turtles.

[MONSTERS GROWLING]

[OSWALD]
There goes
the movie Rondo.

[TURTLES, RONDO]
Whoa!

It's the guys.

They're in trouble.

Never fear.
I, Rondo, will save you!

It's another Rondo.

Ha ha!

Taste the bitterness
of defeat, alien scum!

Hurry, Oswald, we've got
to save the guys.

[GROANS]

Prepare to face the wrath
of an enraged Rondo!

[CAR TIRES SCREECH,
HORN BLARES]

That guy is good.

Well, naturally.
He learned it all from me.

It'll take more
than a fall

to defeat those
evil creatures!

I'll go after them, then.

[MICHELANGELO]
Doesn't the dude
ever use an elevator?

Hi, guys.
Uh, sorry we missed
rescuing you.

No problemo!

That Rondo
took care of it.

How many Rondos are there?

Oh, uh, two--
the movie Rondo
and the real one.

Sure...it's easy
for him to be heroic.

In the movies
Rondo always wins.

Shredder plans
to unleash all sorts

of movie monsters
on the city.

We've got to find
an antidote to the vitalizer.

Wait! Don't leave me.

Those creatures
might come back.

[KRANG]
Now what is this ingenious
plan of yours, Shredder?

It's quite simple, Krang.

This is a reel of film clips
from a monster movie marathon.

With the help
of the vitalizer,

I shall bring these
film monsters to life.

Splendid, Shredder.

The people of Earth
will beg to surrender to me

if I promise to remove these
monsters from their city.

But of course we have
no way of doing that.

Well, I know, but just think
of all that wonderful begging.

[DONATELLO]
Oh, it's not use.

Krang must have erased
every bit of data

on the vitalizer.

We have no way
of making an antidote.

Swell. That means
no way of getting

those monsters
back into the film.

You mean
I have to put up

with that overbearing
movie Rondo?

[TURTLECOM WARBLING]

Donatello here.

Hi, guys. I thought
you might like to know

that Shredder, Bebop,
and Rocksteady

have been spotted
at the Bijou Theater.

Thanks, April.
We're on our way.

Shredder is going
to bring the monsters

from the horror movie
screening to life.

Let's boogey, amigos!

I'll stay and try to remember
how I made the vitalizer.

I'll, uh, stay
and help him.

[ANNOUNCER]
The monster movie
marathon,

with your favorite
feature creatures

starts at midnight
at the newly remodeled

Bijou Theater.

Be there and be scared.

Whoohahaha...

[SHREDDER]
Fools! They're going
to see movies, all right.

The premier of the conquest
of Earth, starring me!

[LAUGHING]

Gee, boss, can me and Bebop
get screen credit too?

Have your agent call me.

Now come to
the projection booth.

[LEONARDO]
If we can't stop Shredder

from releasing
those movie monsters,

we've got to get them
back on the screen.

Mondo notion, dude.

Uh, but any suggestions
as to how?

Well, we know they can't
stand bright lights.

Great. I'll file that away
in my collection

of movie monster
fun facts.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[MICHELANGELO]
Whoa, my favorite
horror flick superstar!

Big Slug invades Burbank!

We'll never be able
to fight off

all these monsters.

Never fear!
Rondo is here!

You guys help Rondo.

I'll be
in the projection booth.

Ha ha! The people
are in a panic!

[KRANG]
Wonderful, Shredder!

Make more monsters.
More!

Wait! Those blasted
Turtles are here!

They're battling
the Movie Monsters!

The fools!
They will be destroyed!

♪♪ [ROCK]

No! No! Turtle blood
is bad for you.

Whoa! Stay in there
monster dudes.

It's safer... for me!

[GROWLING]
Take that,
villainous creatures!

I want to enjoy
the end of those four
meddlesome reptiles.

Wait a minute.
There are only
three of them.

[GROANING]

It's that student boy.

Donatello, this is
the last vial of
the vitalizer formula.

I destroyed every
record of it.

Great! Bring the vial
up here!

The last vial!
We must get it!

Yeah. This reel
will be perfect.

Break down the door.
We must have that vitalizer!

They'll be in here
in a second,
[g*nshots]

and they'll get
the vitalizer!

That's what I want
them to do.

They'll be in
for a "reel" surprise.

Give me the vitalizer, now!

Help! Help me, someone!

Help!
I can't turn my back
on him for a second.

You can't turn your back on
these monsters, either!

Is there gonna be
an intermission soon?

Get that vitalizer!

Stay away, you, you--

Got it, Boss!

Oh, with this vitalizer
and film,

Earth will soon be overrun
with monsters!

Krang, open the portal!

[DONATELLO]
Come on. We've gotta
stop those monsters!

There's too many of them.
But they don't like light

Come on!

Help me aim these
searchlights at
the monsters.

[MONSTERS GROANING]

[DONATELLO]
It's working.
The light is weakening them!

[GROWLING, GROANING]

A battle awaits.
Farewell!

Lighten up, Rondude.
One day I'll bet you'll
be as brave

as that movie Rondo.

[TURTLES]
Nah.

But Shredder has
the vitalizer and the film.

He and Krang can make
all the monsters they want.

Uh, don't bet on it.

[KRANG]
For once, you
have done well.

I have, haven't I?

The vitalizer poured
onto this film

will create an army
of monsters that no one
can stop!

Ooh! Ooh!
Let me pour it, Boss.

No! I wanna!

Stop, you numskulls!

[BEBOP]
Whoa! Now see what
you've done!

Oh, look. It's Cheezy
and Sleazy.

Ow!

[KRANG]
Shredder, you idiot!

[ROCKSTEADY]
Those Turtles
switched the films!

[KRANG]
Stop them!

[VILLAINS GRUNTING, GROANING]
