Editing Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) (section)

==Coming Out of Their Shells tour==
The 1990 live action concert tour entitled "Coming Out of Their Shells", saw Splinter described as the rat owned by Hamato Yoshi mutated to a humanoid form, rather than Yoshi himself mutated into a ratlike body, bringing him more in line with the original [[Mirage Comics]] incarnation as well as that of the then recently released feature film, which also followed the Mirage origin. In the concert events, he is still the Turtles' mentor in the martial arts, as well as encouraging their musical pursuits, and sings the track ''Skipping Stones'' as a solo ballad. He encourages the Turtles as they deal with the Shredder's plot to steal all music in the world, though he does not physically join the battles against Shredder or his foot soldiers. [[Peter Reneday]] reprises his role as the voice of Splinter with the exception of the song ''Skipping Stones'', though both the show's Pay per view and VHS cast lists both leave him uncredited.
