A Mistake You Can't Unsee in a Children's Movie: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a 1990 American superhero action comedy film based on the comic book characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. As a kid I used to watch this series, and now in this first live action film, they used mascot-like suits for each of the ninja turtle, worn by an actor/puppeteer inside. In this scene where there is a very noticeable mistake, when one of the turtles, Donatello, is watching his brothers Leo and Raph make up and hug, he lets out a big laugh, opening the suit's mouth wide, ultimately revealing the mouth of the actor inside the suit. This has made the final cut. If I were the director, I would reshoot this part. This may be seen as one of them goofy mistakes, but for professionalism, and meticulousness in producing a film especially, one with fantasy characters like life-sized turtles, it would ruin the fantasy or the immersion of the viewers (more so if they were children) and this is just careless in the part of the production.
