In the late 80s,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was pitched to United Kingdom TV networks. However because of censorship authorities there deemed the word 'ninja' to have too violent connotations for a children's program the name had to be change to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Consequently, everything related to the Turtles had to be renamed before being released including the theme song.

The censorship policies also had other effects. Because of these policies Michelangelo's nunchakus were edited out and the rest of the weapon usage had to be toned down.

When the TMNT relaunch came in 2003, the the U. K. censorship policies had changed. Now the use of the word ninja in the original 'Ninja Turtles' title is allowed and no content had to be edited from the new cartoon. The 1987 show is still referred to as 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles' while the current one is called 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'.
