Jim Henson’s Creature Shop (which did the first two films) did not return for this one. The animatronics were handled by All Effects, which resulted in a noticeably different, more "cartoony" look for the Turtles' faces.

The Vibe: After the dark grit of the first film and the neon-soaked "Secret of the Ooze," the third installment takes a sharp turn into historical fantasy. It’s a "fish-out-of-water" story that swaps the sewers of NYC for the feudal landscape of 16th-century Japan. The Plot: Turtles in Time

After being absent from the second movie, Elias Koteas returned to play Casey Jones (and his ancestor, Whit).

The Turtles—Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael—must travel back in time to rescue April and retrieve the scepter before the "space-time window" closes forever. Once they arrive in the past, they find themselves caught in the middle of a civil war between a ruthless Daimyo (Lord Norinaga) and a group of village rebels.
