Why in Database: The turtles in this movie appear in the form of a references to Ninja Turtles. A wish-fulfilling genie work for a while as a Santa Claus in a shopping mall, one of the children comes to him holding a Ninja turtle figurine, and then we see in a short scene how a “real” ninja turtle appeared and made a few demonstration moves for the delighted boy.
