+===== Popularity in UK =====
+Aside from the United States, TMNT were especially popular in the United Kingdom, where the Army & Navy Store in London devoted their whole basement to anything turtle-themed, including games, films, toys, costumes, and other goods, in the run-up to Christmas.

+===== UK Censorship =====
+When the TNMT first came in the UK, the name was altered to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" (or TMHT) because local censorship rules regarded the word "ninja" to have sufficiently violent implications for a children's show.

+===== UK Censorship Part 2 =====
+The regulations had additional consequences, such as eliminating the usage of Michelangelo's weapon nunchaku (which were banned in 18-rated movies back then).

Pizza Hut was able to obtain a $20 million marketing campaign with the film, but Domino's was given the honor of feeding the turtles in the film.

+===== Heavy Costumes =====
+The outfits created for the film were exceedingly hefty (70 pounds). [([[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-untold-785653/|Hollywood Reporter]])]
+===== Animatronics =====
+The TMNT outfits have to be big enough to fit all of the animatronics. As a result, the costumes were too large to fit through a standard-sized manhole. As a result, the producers had to design custom manholes for the film. [([[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-untold-785653/|Hollywood Reporter]])]
+===== Josh Pais And Claustrophobia =====
+The clothing caused significant problems for actor Josh Pais (Raphael). He had to remove his turtle mask after each shot because he suffered from severe claustrophobia.
