A Scene from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Monday, September 11. 2017
The one constant in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, from the comics to the cartoon to the live action movies, has been that the Heroes in a Half Shell have always called the Big Apple their home. As an extension of that, the World Trade Center frequently appeared in establishing shots and was even used some plots. One of the most overt uses of the WTC was in the original cartoon's third season episode "The Big Blow Out." In it, Krang and Shredder have mobilized the Technodrome and attached it to one of the towers, using the tallest building in the city as an antenna to open a portal to Dimension X. While the art in TMNT isn't quite as accurate as in some other shows, the profile is unmistakable and Donatello even called it by name as the Turtles approached the scene.
