We Wish You a Turtle Christmas



We Wish You a Turtle Christmas is a 25-minute, live-action Christmas special released direct-to-video in 1994.

Plot
It's Christmas Eve and the Turtles have forgotten to get Splinter a gift. The Turtles argue about who was supposed to get the gift.

The Turtles go above the surface, undisguised, and decorate a tree in Times Square. Michelangelo sings some opera.

After Mikey stops sing, they go to a store to buy the gift. They suggest comic books, video games, and yo-yos, but end up buying a framed plastic pizza. While wrapping the gift, they sing the Wrap Rap.

Splinter accepts the gift and compliments his students for their thoughtfulness and giving spirit. Splinter invites his sons and a bunch of children, who he apparently invited over for Christmas, to sing his version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Music
Contains some of the same music as the "Coming Out of Their Shells" tour.
 * 1) "We're the Turtles"
 * 2) "Deck the Halls"
 * 3) "Up From the Sewer"
 * 4) "Gotta Get a Gift"
 * 5) "Wrap Rap"
 * 6) "Twelve Days of Christmas"
 * 7) "We Wish You a Turtle Christmas"

Criticism
The costumes in the show were terrible. They are times when the zippers are visible and the Turtles must always smile.

The voices are terrible. They all have Brooklyn accents. Besides this, the dubbing is way out of sync.

The story itself is nonsensical and seems more like an excuse to have the Turtles sing Christmas music.
