Pentatonix, the coolest a capella group on the planet, have just released a very special video, inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The movie is a remake of the hugely popular 80s TV show, which in turn was based on the original comic book.
In the run up to the release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie Pentatonix teamed up with Paramount pictures to produce this very cool video which celebrates Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo. And Pizza.
The song is not very long, just over 1 minute 30 seconds, but in that time the group get through some complicated choreography, some great rapping and a very cool pizza appreciation moment. (You should probably order pizza before you watch the video.)
“The idea is we’re kind of riffing off the turtles,” said director Melissa Bolton-Klinger in a behind-the-scenes clip. “Dark alleyway scenes, kind of West Side Story meets ninjas.”
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie opened in the US on August 8, the UK has to wait till October 17.
