This might be
a bad time to go off
on your retreat, Master.

There is never a bad time
to want to go off
in the wilderness

and commune with
the oneness of the universe.

But what
if Shredder and Krang

pull another of their crazy
schemes while you're away?

I feel certain that
your ninja training
will see you through.

I sure hope you're right.

And so, the message
of this special report
on world hunger

is that we all
must do our part

to feed the hungry
citizens of our planet.

This is April O'Neal
signing off.

Man, I don't get it.

We can put
a rocket on the moon,

but we can't put food
on everyone's table.

Take a number, amigo.

Scientist dudes
have been working

on that problemo
for years.

Yeah, well maybe it's time
our resident genius
took a whack at it.

Yeah! Maybe I can
invent something

that would help solve
the world hunger problem.

I'll get to work
on it right now.

Well, try to finish it
before lunch, would you?

You can only keep a pizza
warm for just so long.

Blast it!

Now where are those
two lame brain mutants?

Whoa!

You clumsy louts.
Can't you do
anything right?

Well, I thought
we screamed pretty good.

Just take care
of those guards.

Sneaking up on people
and fighting dirty.

Now, that I like.

[yelling]

Hey, boss,

what's Krang gonna do
with all of these balloons?

Ooh, ooh, maybe
he's gonna blow 'em up
and have a party.

Those are weather balloons,
you wet brains.

Aah!

You razor-brained
klutzes!

You're throwing
our plans off schedule.

Now, load up
the rest of those tanks

and bring them
to the Technodrome.

Gentlemen, prepare
to be astounded.

Behold my contribution
to the problem of world hunger.

Ta-da!

The food revivifier!

Like, what's it do, dude?

Observe these soggy,
overripe bananas.

Ew!
Ew!
Ew!

And now, a single jolt
of the revivifier ray, and...

That's amazing!
They turned yellow again.

Sure, but how
do they taste?

Well, the proof
is in the eating.

Hey-hey, you made
a believer out of me.

Well, as you see,
my revivifier reverses
the aging process of food.

Oh, wow.

That invention could
help solve the world
hunger problem.

Don't go away, dudes.
It could also solve
another food problem.

I found this week-old slice
of pizza behind the couch.

Could you, like,
make it fresh again?

Oh, really, Michelangelo,

I've got more important
things to think about.

Wrong, compadre.

There's nothing more important
than thinking about pizza.

[Donatello]
No, no, wait! Stop!

Oh, you've bombarded us

with the revivifying ray.

Do you realize
what this means?

Uh, if it's about us
turning yellow and
waiting to be peeled,

I don't think I want to know.

Chill, Raphael.
You're not food,
you're a turtle.

Yeah, that's the trouble.

I'm not sure
what effect it might have
on our reptilian bodies.

[both gulp] Uh-oh.

April, this is Burne.
Where are you?

I'm at Fifth and Main, chief.

Get over to
the government
weather station.

There's been a break-in.

Dozens of tanks of helium
have been stolen,

along with a crate filled
with weather balloons.

I'm on my way.

Shredder, how could you?

Leaving Rocksteady
and Bebop alone
on the surface?

As they say on
the surface, Krang,

don't blow a gasket!

They'll return with
the equipment on schedule.

You'll see.

Well, they'd better
for your sake!

If those two
bumbling cretins
spoil my plan,

you're gonna
pay for it big time!

I never realized
how purple picks up
the lavender in your eyes.

Oh, thank you. Do you--

Ooh!

What's going on?

[voices getting higher]
Look at me. I'm shrinking!

Me, too,
and listen to my voice!

I sound just like
a little turtle.

This is all your fault,
Michelangelo .

I warned you not to touch
that revivifier,

and now we're getting
younger and younger!

I said I was sorry.

What do you want,
a letter of apology?

A lot of good that'll do.
We can't even read yet.

Yeah, you big bully.

I'm gonna tell
Master Splinter on you.

I don't wanna be little!

Waah!

Kids. There's
just no pleasing them.

[beeps]

The TurtleCom!

That can only be one person.

Yo, April,
what's doing, dudette?

There's been
a break-in at
the weather station.

You guys better
get down there
and check it out.

I'll bet it's Shredder.

What a time
for him to show up.

Oh, boy! We want
to go and beat up
mean old Mr. Shredder.

Oh, yeah!
I like beating up
that big bully.

Don't you worry,
Auntie April,

we're on our way.

Come on, turtles,
let's have some neato fun

at the weather station!

[all shouting]

No, dudes, wait!
Come back!

Auntie April?

Oh, boy,
this is gonna be fun.

Yeah, we'll find
that mean old Shredder
and punch him in the nose!

Yeah, neato!

Dudes, it's too dangerous!
You're too small
to take on Shredder.

Move it, mister.

Whee!

Wait, micro-dudes!

Hey, hey, look,
it's Auntie April!

Yoo-hoo, Auntie April!

We're gonna punch
Shredder in the nose.

It's the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles,

only they've turned
into the 5-year-old
Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Oh, no!

Okay, we got
all them helium tanks
in the module.

Um, good.
Let's take 'em back
to the Technodrome.

[Leonardo]
Look, you guys,
it's those big meanies!

[Raphael]
Hee hee hee!
Let's get 'em!

Come on and fight,
you big bird brains!

We're not afraid of you!

Heh,
I don't believe it.

The turtles went
and shrunk back
to little kids.

It's like a dream come true.

Yeah, I just love

beating up someone
smaller than me.

Say nighty-night,
little turtle.

I'm gonna punch out
your lights.

All right, spud, try picking
on someone your own size.

Well, let's take care
of the big one first.

Hey! watch it!

Hey, look, he's doing
the Turtle Trot!

Hey, you big bullies,
quit picking on
our big brother.

Whoa!
Whoa!

That'll teach you
to play dirty tricks.

That's it!

I've had it up to
here with those brats.

Quick, dudes, run!

Oh, great. Dead end.

Ha ha!

When is this game
gonna be over?

[gulp] Sooner than you think.

Quick, fellas, hop aboard!

Whoa, April, are we
happy to see you!

We sure are,
Auntie April.

We were gettin' tired
of that game.

Great news, boss.

Three of the turtles
have turned into
helpless little kids.

Excellent.

Return to the Technodrome
immediately.

It's time to put
those helium tanks to use.

[April]
Oh, what a day.

I've never been
so exhausted in
my entire life.

[Michelangelo]
Oh, for sure.

Who'd have thought
three little tykes

could take
so much out of you?

Thank heavens for nap time.

Well, listen, April,
I gotta split.

Sure, stick me
with taking care of
them all by myself.

I gotta go back to the lair

and look through
Donatello's notes.

Maybe there's an antidote
to his revivifier gizmo.

And then I gotta
figure out what Shred-head

and his mutant morons
are up to.

Irma.

I rushed over to warn you.

Burne said if you're late

filing the weather
station story,

you'll be the late
April O'Neil

Irma, I don't have
time to explain,

but I need you to baby-sit.

Three of the turtles have
turned into 5-year-olds.

Mmm, they always did
seem a little immature.

I know it's
asking a lot, but--

Oh, say no more.

I'll keep an eye on
the little shrinkers.

Irma, I love you for this.

Hmm. So how come
I have a feeling

I'll hate myself for this?

Okay, boss,
now can you tell us

why we're filling
these balloons with helium?

Keep on filling them,
and don't ask
stupid questions.

Krang, why are they
filling the balloons
with helium?

I guess it's safe now
to tell you.

I've sent
this same treasure map

to the city's most notorious
criminal ringleaders.

It shows the location
of a chest filled
with stolen treasure

buried on a secret
tropical island.

What secret tropical island?

The one my foot soldiers are
building at this very moment.

Come this way.

So this is your
treasure island?

Yes, as phony as
the proverbial $3.00 bill.

It will be kept afloat

by the stolen helium-filled
weather balloons,

while this heavy chain

hooked to the top
of the Technodrome

will keep it
from floating away.

Once all the greedy
treasure-hungry criminals

are aboard the island,

I plan to cut the chain,

and all my competition
will just go floating away.

And I, and I alone,

will be the boss of
the entire underworld!

That certainly is
a lot of exposition.

Well, someone had to do it.

[yawns]

Wow. I feel better.

Yeah, I guess our little
bodies needed a nappy.

Oh, hi, Auntie Irma.
What are you
doing here?

I'm turtle-sitting.

Hey, I'm hungry.
What you got to eat?

Ice cream! Get your
Jolly Times ice cream!

Ooh,
now that sounds yummy.

Hey, Mr. Ice Cream Man!
Stop!

We'll be right down!

No, guys, wait! Come back!

Wait up, mister!
We wanna get some ice cream!

Get a move on, you guys.

We gotta dig up
that hidden treasure.

Gangway, mister!
Sorry.

You little brats!

That man
sure looks familiar.

Don't you remember?
That was Big Louie.

We beat him lots of times.

Oh, no.

The ice cream truck
is driving away.

We gotta stop it!

[all]
Tiny turtle power!

This is the last time
I sit for any baby,

even if it doesn't
have a shell.

Oh, no!

[gulp]
Maybe this wasn't such
a neat idea after all.

[horn honks]

No!

Quick, Leonardo,
what do we do now?

What are you asking me for?

I'm just a little
tiny turtle.

Don't sweat it, micro-dudes.
I got you!

Turtles, are you all right?

Wow, Auntie Irma,
you got your head on
upside-down.

What a neat trick!
How do you do that?

It's better
that you don't know.

Ah, Mother Nature
is about to give birth

to Bogus Island.

[Krang laughs]

I feel just like a new daddy.

Well, Shredder, what do
you think of my scheme now?

So far, this crackpot idea
of yours seems to be working.

What do we do with
this leftover balloon?

Ooh! Whoa!

Help! Boss! Help!

Idiots! Must I do everything?

Please, get us down!

Whoa!

If these are
your typical earthlings,

why am I having
so much trouble

conquering
this dumpy planet?

Get those bad guys!

Hi, guys, I'm back.

Oh! My apartment!

What happened to it?

It was invaded
by turtle tykes.

What'd you bring us,
Auntie April?

Huh?
Some pizza?

What about
Donatello's workshop?

Did you find an antidote
for the revivifier ray?

Nada.

Donatello, think!

About your invention,
do you have an antidote?

Uh, an Auntie Dote?

No, you're the only
auntie I've got.

[Krang]
Look, there's
Pinkie McFingers

arriving in his
private yacht.

And now Big Louie
and his henchmen.

[Shredder]
And there's Mad Dog McMutt.

He's especially
good at digging.

Ha. Little do
they realize,

but soon I will be
the only villain

this city will
have to contend with.

Ha ha ha ha!

What's this?
Only the story of the century!

April O'Neil, get on the horn!

[phone rings]

What's up, Chief?

Forget the stolen
helium story.

Something bigger
is breaking,

and I want you
to cover it!

Can't you get
Vernon to cover it?

Things are breaking here,
too.

If you don't do it,
something else
will be broken.

Your contract!

Uh, in that case,
what's the scoop?

That's better.

Hoards of
underworld characters

are converging
on a mysterious
offshore island.

Now go check it out!
Go, go, go, go!

Oh, boy!

We wanna go with you
and help you
catch those crooks!

Please, can we?
Please, can we? Huh?
Please, Auntie April?

Absolutely not.
It's much too dangerous.

I hope those
little turtles

aren't planning
on following us.

No way. I triple locked
the pad personally.

Huh?
Surprise!

Oh, no.
Oh, no.

Are we there yet?

I have to go.

Chill, dudes. We'll scope out
the island any minute now.

There it is.
I see it.

Someone sees us!

You sure that ain't
one of the invited guests?

No, you simp.
It's that nosy reporter
April O'Neil.

Get her!

Oh, no!

The rotors have been hit!

Bummer!

[shouting]

You got a barf bag
on this thing?

[shouting]

All right.
We got it.

Ha. Let's go take
April O'Neil prisoner.

Is everyone all right?

Yeah. That was neato!

Can we go
on that ride again?

When do we
fight the bad guys?

I told you before, Leonardo,
there'll be no fighting.

Ah, phooey.

We were looking forward

to some real bone crushing
head banging.

[gasps]
Rocksteady and Bebop!

We'll handle this, April.

Turtles to the rescue!

Get 'em!

So we have uninvited guests.

Shredder!

So you're the one
who's been luring

all these criminals
to this island.

Here's the rest
of them, boss.

You were right.
They have shrunk
to child size.

Oh, how cute.

Kitchy-kitchy-coo.

Still big enough to
handle you, Mr. Shred-head.

Yeah, take that!

And that!

Here!

Get them!
They mustn't escape!

Right, boss.

Hand over that map,
Mad Dog.

The treasure is mine.

That's what
you think, Big Louie.

It belongs to me!

[laughs]

That's the end
of the turtles.

Yeah, three
of them, anyway.

Good news, boss.

The turtles are gone.

What?
Oh, no.

Those mutants are
big dummies, aren't they?

Yeah. They don't realize
we love to play in water.

Guys, I hate to tell ya,

but there's something
weird going on here.

We're growing big,
and our voices
are changing.

We found the antidote
to the revivifier ray.

It's plain old salt water.
Our natural environment.

Success, Krang.

The last of the turtles
is my prisoner.

And do you have
plans for him?

He and the unfortunate
Miss O'Neil

will float off
into the stratosphere

along with all
the underworld buffoons.

Thanks to myself,

the turtles are finito,
kaput, wiped out!

Not in this
lifetime, tin grin.

We're anything
but wiped out.

Wouldn't you
agree, compadre?

Most monumentally, amigo.

Cowabunga!

Don't just stand there,
you horn heads!

Get them!

It'll be our
pleasure, boss.

Stand back, guys.
This one's on me.

Or should I say
on Rocksteady and Bebop!

Foot soldiers,
attack the turtles!

My turn!

Quickly, back
to the Technodrome.

Oh, great!
Another failure!

Once again, I'll have to
handle things myself.

[April]
The island,
it's floating away!

So that's why
Shredder stole those
helium balloons.

Turtles, what are
we waiting for?

[all]
Turtle power!

The good news is
we stopped the island
from floating away.

And the bad news?

Uh, it's starting to sink.

I don't mean
to panic anyone,

but we gotta
get off of this thing.

Hold on. We can't
leave without April.

But where is she?

Yoo-hoo, fellas!
I'm over here!

You repaired the rotor blade?

Hey, Donatello's
not the only one
who can fix things.

Channel 6 news copter
calling the Coastguard.

Proceed to latitude 72,
longitude 13,

and rescue
sinking island survivors.

Oh, and be sure to bring
plenty of handcuffs.

Thanks for helping me
dismantle this revivifier.

Man, if I never
see it again,
it'll be too soon.

Greetings, my students.

Welcome back
from your retreat,
Master Splinter.

How refreshing to see you
all working so diligently.

what has brought about
this new attitude?

Well, let's just say

we've done
a lot of growing up
while you were away.
