Outraged at Michael Bay’s statement of changing the turtles origins to Aliens from another planet, Voice actor Robbie Rist, the man behind Michelangelo’s voice in the Ninja turtles movie, addressed a letter to Bay himself. Below is the full letter:
” Dear Michael Bay.
You probably don’t know me but I did some voice work on the first set of movies that you are starting to talk about sodomizing.
Look man, I think you have some pretty nifty action ideas (of course on the other side, the minute ANYONE in your movies starts using actual dialog I seem to catch myself nodding off), but seriously, Teenage ALIEN Ninja Turtles?
I know believing in mutated talking turtles is kinda silly to begin with but am I supposed to be led to believe there are ninjas from another planet?
You know that ninjas are a certain kind of cultural charact….
Oh what the hell am I talking to you for?
The rape of our childhood memories continues…..”
Let us hope that Michael Bay, and Paramount studios, do hear our cries and not mess with our beloved turtles origin.
