Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) movie - competition

March 14, 2007 | Movies

I was recently contacted by a very nice lady at Warner Bros. asking whether I would like to run a competition to promote a film. Normally I just ignore this sort of thing but (not that it happens very often!) but being that it’s for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, I just had to say yes.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) poster

Like 300 (also from Warner Brothers) I have been excited about this film for some time now. I have loved the Ninja Turtles cartoon and toys, and now the new film is announced and it looks like it will be great fun. There is also a game to accompany the film which, based upon the limited time I’ve played it, is equally cool.

Unlike the first movie (technically there were 3, but the sequels don’t really count) the latest Ninja Turtles film is entirely computer generated which has given the producers the chance to do a lot of things that simply aren’t possible with real life actors - including making the whole thing more cartoony/ comic book.

As well as being incredibly cool, and still living in the memory of many 20 somethings (myself included) the TMNT are slowly invading the internet too. There are stacks of videos of them on YouTube (probably not placed there by the marketing people), and the individual turtles even have their own myspace pages (definitely placed there by marketing).

The competition

I’ve kept the question simple - I should think most people will know the answer (or be able to Google it) and if you don’t you might as well guess, afterall it’s free :) The prize… you’ll get a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pack which includes tshirts, posters and various other bits of Turtles merchandise (apparently the packs aren’t finalized yet).

That’s it - competition has now closed. Results will be announced shortly. Thanks to all who entered - Good Luck!

All entries should be in by the 21st of March. The winner will be chosen by a random draw picked from the correct entries - so make sure your email address is valid. Good Luck!

    It’s for a good cause at least! Personally I am hoping Thundercats will see the light of day! If you hope and pray and wish hard enough…..

    Hobo - Thundercats are cool :)

    Divanna - I’m not a party planner and have no children so have never even considered this sort of thing. I’m simply someone who enjoys the films. Hope your friend works something out and sorry I can’t help.

    Artem - Warner Brothers contacted me. Yes. I was very surprised when I got the email - I can tell you :)

    lol - maybe :)

    I do seem to remember hearing something about a remake of the Thundercats (in 3d, like the Turtles) actually… although I may have just made that up
