Famous turtles

By XYuriTT | December 30, 2017 - 5:40 pm |June 28, 2023 List

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (incl. Slash, Venus and Jennika)
These turtles, the basic four, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Donatello are definitely among the most famous turtle characters – they have a comic book origin, but over the years they have broken away from it quite strongly, and they function as heroes of comics, animated series and (mainy live action) cinema films – it depends who you ask. In addition to the aforementioned four, the live action series also featured the turtle, Venus, and in various versions of the turtle world, Slash also appears, a mutant turtle, large and usually wilder. There is also Jennika in comic series by IDW. It’s hard to talk about the existence of one, canonical explanation of the origin of the turtles – these can be highly variable.

Pokemon
There is no shortage of turtles in the world of Pokemon – starting with the first series of the games, where one of the starters (pokemon that the player could choose at start) was a turtle, Squirtle! With the evolution, this resulted in three turtles at the very beginning. Later, as new regions were “discovered”, the number of turtles increased. Of course, you could see them everywhere, in games, manga, anime, and everything else that has been created around Pokemon over the years.

Gamera.
A huge turtle, in the style of the well-known Godzilla. It is also derived from Japanese films, with twelve officially movies grouped in three “series” (with the last series having only one film). There were also a few mangas and a comic with Gamera, and a guest appearance “here and there”.

Franklin and his family.
The “Canadian” turtle, createdby Paulette Bourgeois (a Canadian) who wrote a huge number of books with him, in which, apart from him, there are his parents and little sister. In addition to the books, there are also two animated tv-series about Franklin, one in a more classic animation style and the other in typical CGI

World Turtle
This “figure” is essentially semi-mythical, according to old beliefs the whole world was to rest on its shell, or its shell was to be the world itself. This vision was later the subject of many references. Probably the best known is A’Tuin, which has its own note.

A’tuin
A huge turtle (Chelys galactica) from Discworld series, with four elephants resting on its shell on which the disk itself rests. It mainly appears in T. Pratchett’s books about the Discworld, usually only at the level of “what a disk looks like” decription. Obviously, it also appears in works inspired by the series, comics, movies etc..

Oogway
The Turtle master from the Kung Fu Panda trilogy – he invented Kung Fu himself! In addition to the movies, he also appears in the tv-series and in the general merchandise from this franchise.

Speed
This turtle is the protagonist of the series about The Swan Princess. He has appeared in all of the series’ movies, playing a minor or major role, but he was always present.

Turtles from Mario/.
As part of the Mario universe, there is the Koopa turtle race, which appears in the mass of works from this universe (including, above all, games, of course). They are quite differentiated, and the best-known varieties are probably Bowser and Koopa Troopa.

Crush and Squirt.
Two turtles from “Finding Nemo” and the sequel, “Finding Dory“. The older of them, Crush, apart from the two films mentioned, is also an important element of the attractions of various Disneylands.

Mock Turtle
A character from the “Alice in Wonderland” book that probably everyone has heard of. Over the years since its premiere, this story has been adapted in many many ways in probably every possible medium. In many of this adaptatnions, “Mock turtle” have some role.

Roshi/Turtle
Roshi is a very important character from the Dragon Ball universe, an iconic fighting technique of this series, “Kame Hame Ha” was invented by him. He wears a turtle shell on his back, and is friend with a real turtle (anthropomorphic, he also appears in many episodes and has a lot of dialogues). Manga and anime heroes (and side products, of course).

The Tortoise (and The Hare)
A character from Aesop’s fairy tale, also quite widely known. Over the years there was maaaany interpretations and references, “The Tortoise” is quite a popular character whose traces can be found everywhere, from books to comics to movies, tv-series, commercials and whatever comes to mind.

Toby Tortoise
Toby Tortoise is one of the two most famous incarnations of the turtle from the mentioned above “the Tortoise and the Hare”, he appears in Disney cartoons.

Cecil Turtle
Cecil Turtle is the second of the most famous incarnations of the turtle from the “The Tortoise and the Hare”, he appears in Looney Tunes cartoons.

Verne
Verne is a turtle, one of the three main characters of the comic strip “Over the Hedge” and the things that derived from this series.

Bert the Turtle
The protagonist of the instructional film “Duck and Cover” showing how to behave in the face of a nuclear explosion – Bert gained some popularity.

Lonesome George
Considered the last of the Chelonoidis abingdonii tortoises (also known as the “Pinta giant tortoise”), which has gained him some popularity and media recognition. He died in 2012.

Testudo
Official mascot of the University of Maryland. This Diamondback terrapin is ubiquitous in the symbolism associated with this college, on campus, sports teams and so on.

Yertle the Turtle
The hero of the “Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories”, quite popular book, he also appears (is referenced) in many places.

Touche Turtle
The protagonist of the series “Touché Turtle and Dum Dum”, he also has a few other appearances.

Filburt
One of the heroes of the series “Rocko’s Modern World”, he also has a few other appearances, in media related to this series.

Kappa
Kappa is a creature found in Japanese folklore, a demonic creature that often has turtle features (mainly a characteristic shell) in his appearance.

Little Turtle
A Miami Indian chief, named after the turtle.

Testudo formation
It is not a literal turtle, it is “only by name”, a turtle called military formation. It appears in various places (movies, series, comics, books) so we decided that it is something that can be included in the list of “famous turtles”

Aeschylus
Aeschylus is not the name of a turtle, but a philosopher who, according to historical “sources” (not necessarily considered authentic), was killed by a turtle, or more precisely, by an eagle who wanted to smash the turtle’s shell against a stone, but hit Aeschylus. This theme reappeared “here and there”, hence its presence on this list.

Turtles all the way down
The relatively popular concept, that the earth rests on a turtle, and that turtle rests on another turtle, and so on, forever.

Achilles and the Tortoise
One of the paradoxes of Zeno of Elea uses the turtle as an example to show that Achilles will never be able to catch up with him.

Flintstones Universe
Turtles are ubiquitous in the world of Flintstones, both living animals and their shells.

The legend about how to see-read the icons that precede the book titles on the list. All four categories shares the descriptions “what does the number of icons mean”, so in order not to spread out the legend, they are described collectively, first we describing what a given color means, and then what the number of icons means.

– Books with “anthropomorphic” turtles, all who can talk count, of course, but also those that have silent roles, but don’t behave like ordinary turtles
– Real, normal turtles.
– Books in which “turtle” is a human, both if it is only his name/nickname, and if he is more involved in the topic (like a superhero/criminal who wears turtle outfits). An important detail, if, for example, someone says to someone “You turtle”, using it as an insult, because the person is just a slow, (it”s used as one-time term, not a permanent name), it does not count in this category.
– All kinds of turtle devices/vehicles/machines – by appearance or with a turtle name.

– The book only mentions the word (both the word “turtle” as well as a name like “Gamera” or “Franklin” when the context implies that it is about a turtle) or a turtle in the form of a toy, drawing, sculpture (and other artistic forms) or the shell itself is mentioned.
– A turtle appears in the book at least in one scene (in one of the the possible “forms” described above, real, anthro, human, machine). Also books with turtles that appears in more scenes, but without much importance for the plot.
– Turtles or a turtle appear in the book and play(s) an important role, but not crucial. It may be a longer fragment focused on them, or several smaller but distinctive appearances.

– There is a turtle or turtles in the book and they are the axis of the plot, an element whose removal would make the entire book meaningless.

Pupular science:
Due to the considerable difference in content between ordinary fiction and broadly understood (popular) scientific books, this type of book has its own mini-legend.
Turtles are only in the form of one or more verbal mentions. Possibly in the form of a small picture/photo or a small part of a larger picture/photo.
Larger turtle element, e.g. large photo, fragment of several sentences, etc.
An even bigger turtle element, for example, several pages of text.
A very large share of turtles, books entirely devoted to turtles, as well as those that discussed, for example, amphibians and reptiles and “only” 1/5 the book is devoted to turtles.

At the very beginning, an explanation of how to see and read the icons preceding the movie titles on the list. The first three categories sharing descriptions “what does the number of icons mean”, so in order to not increase the text unnecessarily, they are described collectively, first we describe what a given color means, and then what the number of icons means.

– Series with real turtles (Not documentaries!)
– Series with real turtles (documentary!)
– Series with “anthropomorphic” turtles. That means all that can talk, of course, but also those that have silent roles, but act not-like-ordinary-turtles (this applies especially to turtles from various animations).

– There is only a verbal mention in the series or a turtle in the form of a toy, drawing, sculpture (and other artistic forms) or the shell (without owner) is shown. Ninja turtle toys fall into a different category.
– For minimum a second a real, live turtle appears in the series. Also series with turtles visible in one longer or a few smaller scenes, but without much significance for the plot.

– A real live turtle or turtles appears in the series and plays important role, but not crucial. It may be a longer fragment focused on them, or several smaller but important appearances.
– There is a real live turtle or turtles in the series and they are the axis a story, an element that would make the entire series meaningless if removed.

Color number 4 – TMNT series, also series just referring to TMNT!
– Series in which ninja turtles are only mentioned verbally or appear in the form of a toy, drawing, costume, etc. or TMNT-related music is used.
– Series in which Ninja Turtles (“In person”, not in form of someone cosplaying them) appear on the screen in some form, also in the form of “someone on the screen is watching a movie/series with them and you can see them on your screen” and derivatives.
– Ninja turtles appear in the series and they play an important role, but not a key one. It may be a longer fragment focused on them, or several smaller but distinctive appearances.
– Series in which Ninja turtles constitute the main plot line and removal of them would make the whole series meaningless.

Color number 5 – Just a musical reference (hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity, referred to as “turtle music”) – at the moment these are mainly The Turtles songs used in the series. (Any use of music from TMNT counts as a reference to TMNT, not musical!)
– A track used in the soundtrack appears.
– A song appears, but it is woven into the plot of the film, eg the characters sing it.
– Turtle music is an important part of the movie.
– The movie is all about turtle music.

Comic book turtles are divided into three types below – the first category is “named turtles”, that is, characters that have a specific name that appears in the comic book. The second category are turtles, without any specific names. The third are comis stripes.
Quick jump to the sections: With names, Nameless , Stripes.

Firstly, explanation of how to see and read the icons that precede the turtle names/comic book titles on the list. All four categories are divided by descriptions “what does the number of icons mean”, so in order to not increase the text unnecessarily, they are described collectively, first we describe what a given color means, and then what the number of icons means.

– Comics with “anthropomorphic” turtles. That means all that can talk, of course, but also those that have silent roles, but act not-like-ordinary-turtles.
– Comics with normal turtles.
– Comics in which the “turtle” is a human – whatever it is only his name/nickname, or he is more involved in the topic (like a super-hero/criminal who has a turtle outfit etc.).
– All kinds of turtle devices/vehicles/machines – that ones with only turtle name and all that looks “like turtle”.

– In the comic, there is only a verbal mention or a turtle in the form of a toy, a drawing (of course, all comics are drawings, it about “drawing in a drawing”), a sculpture (and other artistic forms) or the shell itself is shown (without the owner).
– In the comic, at least in one frame there is a turtle (in one of the possible “forms” described above, real, anthropomorfic, human, machine). Also comics with turtles visible in more frames but withou importance for the plot.
– There is a turtle or turtles in the comic and plays an important role, but not a crucial one. It may be a longer fragment focused on them, or several smaller but important appearances.
– There is a turtle or turtles in the comic and they constitute the axis of a plot, the removal of them would make the whole comic meaningless.

– Movies with real turtles (Not documentaries!)
– Movies with real turtles (documentary!)
– Movies with “anthropomorphic” turtles. That means all that can talk, of course, but also those that have silent roles, but act not-like-ordinary-turtles (this applies especially to turtles from various animations).

– There is only a verbal mention in the movie or a turtle in the form of a toy, drawing, sculpture (and other artistic forms) or the shell (without owner) is shown. Ninja turtle toys fall into a different category.
– For minimum a second a real, live turtle appears in the movie. Also films with turtles visible in one longer or a few smaller scenes, but without much significance for the plot.
– A real live turtle or turtles appears in the film and plays important role, but not crucial. It may be a longer fragment focused on them, or several smaller but important appearances.
– There is a real live turtle or turtles in the movie and they are the axis a story, an element that would make the entire movie meaningless if removed.

Color number 4 – TMNT films and movies just referring to TMNT!
– Movies in which ninja turtles are only mentioned verbally or appear in the form of a toy, drawing, costume, etc. or TMNT-related music is used.
– Movies in which Ninja Turtles (“In person”, not in form of someone cosplaying them) appear on the screen in some form, also in the form of “someone in the movie is watching a movie/series with them and you can see them on your screen” and derivatives.
– Ninja turtles appear in the movie and they play an important role, but not a key one. It may be a longer fragment focused on them, or several smaller but distinctive appearances.
– Movies in which Ninja turtles constitute the main plot line and removal of them would make the whole movie meaningless.

Color number 5 – Just a musical reference (hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity, referred to as “turtle music”) – at the moment these are mainly The Turtles songs used in the films. (Any use of music from TMNT counts as a reference to TMNT, not musical!)
– A track used in the soundtrack appears.
– A song appears, but it is woven into the plot of the film, eg the characters sing it.
– Turtle music is an important part of the movie.
– The movie is all about turtle music.
