    WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III is the third (the first in the widescreen format) in a series of films aimed primarily at children, staring America’s most awesome amphibians and their human female friend April. This time a magic scepter that can swap individuals of equal mass from the past and the present switches April to 17th century Japan in place of a young Japanese prince. Our heroes on the half-shell must go back in time to rescue her and of course aid the good guys of the period in their battle against evil.

    LaserDisc Picture:
    The picture on this disc is incredibly crisp with sharpness and detail in some scenes that eclipses the very finest LaserDiscs. The colors are brilliant and natural with the dark sequences well defined. Such a high resolution picture of this quality appears to be at the limits of the NTSC LaserDisc medium.

    LaserDisc Soundtrack:
    The sound is absolutely awesome, with wall-shaking bass down to 30 Hz and a totally aggressive and enveloping surround field that engulfs the viewer in the fantasy. This is show-off-your-system material for the whole family
