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!
