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.
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).
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!
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.

I can't believe you didn't use "cowabunga" anywhere in this post, slack style Ben.
Sorry Nic - I shall make sure I use it in future turtle related posts
LOL I wanna take my son to see that. I love the turtles.
Will Hong Kong Phooey be making a comeback too???
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.....
Cool. I wish companies asked me to promote their stuff!
my friend wants to make a ninja turtle party for her son, what do you recomend
Hm.. very interesting. Are you contacting with Warner Brothers? I wish they ask me for something too
.
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
"cool" ?
Understatement of the year!
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
I hope not! They can have my money now if they make that one!
