Watch THIS Instantly... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze

Who Is It For... 
Primarily my 7-year-old boy (though my 5-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy are digging it as well)

What's It About...
This is the sequel to the first live action TMNT movie. It follows the continuing adventures of four pizza-loving, wise-cracking turtles who battle evil under the watchful eye of a wise old rat.  In this movie, the turtles' enemy Shredder discovers the secret to the turtles' power and creates his own mutants.  Chaos ensues.

Why Kids Will Love It...
Pizza.  Martial arts.  Turtles. 

Parental Cheat Sheet...
The turtles wear different colors.  Leonardo wears blue and is the leader.  Raphael wears red and has a temper.  Michaelangelo is the comic relief and wears orange.  Donatello is the smart one and wears purple.

The rat is their teacher and is named Splinter.

Wrestling Fans!  Kevin Nash plays Super Shredder.
