What happens

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze is a 1991 American superhero comedy film based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Directed by Michael Pressman and written by Todd W. Langen, it is the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) and stars Paige Turco (replacing Judith Hoag as April O'Neil) and David Warner. Picking up after the events of the first film, the Turtles once again face off against the Shredder and the Foot Clan, as both sides uncover the truth behind the Turtles' mutagenic origins. The film was released theatrically in the United States on March 22, 1991, by New Line Cinema. It received mixed reviews from critics, who said it departed from the much darker tone of the original 1990 film. It was financially successful, grossing $78.7 million against a budget of $25 million, becoming the thirteenth highest-grossing film domestically in the year of its release. A sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, was released in 1993. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
