Why in Database: Documentary film about the creation of the 1990 adaptation of the book It by Stephen King. In the adaptation itself there was no turtle element, however in the documentary about the creation we have two! One appearance is a picture of Pennywise with something like a turtle shell. The second fragment is double, one of the characters in the documentary talks about a turtle, at this moment we see also a picture of a turtle.

-So I tell people, “Hey, it could have been fighting a turtle in outer space. Would you have liked that better?”

Title: Turtles All the Way Down
Year: 2024
Director: Hannah Marks

Genre: Drama, Romance
Country: USA

Why in Database: A film adaptation of the book with the same title which is also described in out database. The Title itself is also the name of a certain turtle concept, a reference to it can be found in one of the dialogues in the film. Apart from this and the scene with the title, it lacks turtle elements.

There’s this very famous scientist, and he’s giving a lecture on astronomy to a large audience. And he’s describing how the Earth orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits the galaxy, etcetera, etcetera. And when he’s finally done, a little old lady in the back raises her hand and says, “Professor, with all due respect, what you’ve just told us is bullshit. The truth is, the Earth is resting on the back of a giant turtle.” So, the very famous scientist gives a smug smile and says, “So, what is the turtle resting on?” And the woman replies, “It’s resting on the shell of another giant turtle, of course.” And the scientist says, “And that turtle?” And the woman exclaims, “Don’t you understand? It’s turtles, all the way down.” You’re imagining the true self, the self that exists independent of circumstance, as that turtle on the very bottom of the pile. But maybe it’s turtles, all the way down.

Why in Database: Things related to Ninja Turtles are shown many times in this movie, first we have a fragment of the first animated series, with the turtle communicator. Later we see many different things related to TMNT, a wallet, figurines, toys, a DVD with a movie, etc. They are also mentioned once in the dialogue.

It’s going to be a little bit like Sam Rockwell in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”
