Strangely enough… turtles seem to have been a continuing theme this week! I was going to take Angel to the cinema today to see Happy N’Ever After…. but then I finally found a couple of minutes to watch a trailer for it and decided that it looked like crap… so asked Angel what he was into… and next thing I know, I find myself taking him to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Happy to admit that my expectations were exceeded – namely because they were extremely low in the first place… possibly because I’m not a fan as I’d never even seen a single Teenage Ninja Turtle cartoon in my life! I found that I actually enjoyed it quite a bit – and Angel loved it . He was asking if he could watch it again before the credits had finished rolling 🙂 The animation was really well done….there was one scene in particular when some of the turtles are fighting on a rooftop in the rain, and you can tell the animators had a ball with it… the raindrops look fantastic and they’ve carefully done all the reflections and lighting and ‘camera angles’ to make it look as schmick as possible.
In a continuing turtle vein…. we had lunch at a cafe in Victoria Point on Bunker Street near the new cinema there and we sat on a deck overlooking a lagoon which had literally dozens of turtles sunning themselves in the shallows! Hmmm…. wondering where the turtles are going to turn up next!
