Talk:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)

Source?
"Initially, Jim Henson was reluctant to allow his Creature Shop to design the characters for this movie, due to the violence level of the film. Eventually he relented as a favor to the film's director, Steve Barron, who had directed episodes of The StoryTeller." Can anyone verify this passage? Checking the history, Tom (who hasn't been on the Wiki in months, it seems) added it when the article was first created, but I've been unable to dig up anything about this. All of the quotes I've found from Jim, which I hope to integrate later, are about the technology, and in one interview, he praises the film's comedy. Well, that makes sense, even if he was reluctant, he wouldn't necessarily express it while making the publicity rounds. On the other hand, this sounds like an urban legend or rumor, based on assumptions of what Jim Henson would/would not do (which in light of Muppets shooting each other in the 60s, or The Land of Gorch, has I think been exaggerated). On the other hand, I don't have access to No Strings Attached or any other book (as opposed to periodical) sources on the film or the Creature Shop, so if anyone can verify, clarify, or disprove, it would be much appreciated -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 05:45, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
