Description

What better way to kick off summer than with a Ninja Turtle catching serious waves?

From the second season Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Fred Wolf Films) episode "The Mean Machines." In this scene, April O'Neil and the four turtles are infiltrating the "Blackjack Insurance" building, which temporarily serves as the lair of Shredder and Baxter Stockman as they try to take over all the machines in the city through the use of the super-computer mainframe O.M.N.S.S. (OMNIPOTENT MULTI-PROCESSING NEXUS SUBUNIVERSAL SENTIENCE). O.M.N.S.S. takes control of almost every conceivable device in the building, including the emergency fire hose! While most of the Turtles are immediately pushed away by the hose's powerful waves, Mikey takes the opportunity to practice his surfing skills!

This is a handpainted painted acetate cel layered over background print. In this case, the the supplied background is different than the episode context, although the water fills up so much of the frame, it barely matters. These cels were sold framed in mats and protective plastic sleeves at various toy and department stores throughout the early 1990s under the "Animation Art" label. This cel was scanned outside the sealed plastic sleeve, allowing for better image clarity. Also attached is a screencap from the digital VUDU copy, showing the approximate cel in its final form at around the 17 minute, 43 second mark.
