At least 2014Movie Splinter learnt from a book by some talented guys I believe...
I feel the original cartoon's origins would've worked better, as I just can't see 15 years being enough time to master an art to a "Miyagi"-level, you know?... Plus that little Rat puppet in the cage in the original was just cool!

It was the weakest part of the film for me and I feel it's likely a result of that mid-production halt the film experienced.
