The turtles learning everything from movies feels like a reflection on a generation that learns how to do everything from KZbin.

[@lilveltheplayer2164]

I wasn't expecting that Attack On Titan reference though lol

[@raye-raphaelsashay8521]

It works better for me than when they learned from a book in the Bay movies 😂 I do wonder if they're going to expand on Splinter's backstory at all to give him a history with ninjas or if they're going to leave it as is.

That’s ironic, because I kinda thought the voice actor that plays Donny sounds like one of Gumball’s voice actors before they hit puberty and their voices started to change.

[@raye-raphaelsashay8521]

When the trailers came out, a TON of reactors commented that they don't like Donnie's voice, since he sounds so much younger than the others. And I agree that it stands out, but honestly, throughout the movie you get used to it, and the actor did a fantastic job. Plus, kids really do mature at totally different rates. It's completely realistic to have one of them sound like his voice hasn't dropped yet, and it helps emphasize how young 15 really is. I also think it works for Donnie's character.

[@brandonboswell3625]

I was thinking the same thing too!! It fits since he's the nerd of the group he clearly would be late with puberty so his voice wouldn't get lower loo ike the others

[@pillowvibes]

It’s also canonically accurate apparently since in the comics, donnie hit puberty last, despite mikey being the youngest

26:45 "This is what Rise should have been." This is what Rise was supposed to be. Corps pushed for lighter and softer action, more comedy, and individual standalone episodes that could be mixed and matched. Take a look at the Rise movie. THAT is what the writers wanted the show to be like.

No one’s pointed this out so I will… Splinter wasn’t just voiced by Jackie Chan. Even the way he fought and the pacing of his action sequence very much so pays homage to Jackie’s stuff. The humor, reactions, and just the overall way he improvs w/ his environment. Perfect.

Something I like about the movie that Seth does in other movies is the fact he has all the voice actors act in the exact same room so all their energy plays off each other, giving it a much more natural feel to everyone talking.

[@IronDino]

1:05:25 Rise was my first major exposure to TMNT and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I will agree that some of the interim episodes were, as you put it, 'a little rough'. I will solidly say that this is 100% due to executive meddling. They wanted shorter, smaller, less plot driven episodes that focused more on comedy and simple gags. The creative team had to fight to get the handful of half hour specials that we had and even those had to be toned down to a lighter and softer style. The fifteen minute filler episodes, were just that, filler.

[@evakazoo]

The finale episodes we’re some of the best in terms of writing and animation and the writers were forced to write an ending for their series in only three weeks and board it in about a month I believe (they had a promised 7 seasons when the series initially aired which was cut to 3 seasons, and then not even that because they cut the second season in half when there were finished episodes in the midst of animation. Fans didn’t realize the series was over until literally the last episode aired and the people that worked Rise had to scramble to find new jobs) You’ll see in the credits they do in the beginning of the episodes that the number of writers and storyboarders that worked on the episodes are like five to ten people which is not typical for any cartoon Props to JJ Conway especially he is my hero I just have so many fun facts about Rise that I never get to share sorry

[@monster-enthusiast]

I know you didn't like Rise but you'd probably love the movie. It's phenomenal. Like you said at the end, Rise had some high highs and the movie is a perfect example of that.

[@jaredtheastralartist2510]

Rise was I think, ruined by their expectations. I think they expected it to be like 2012 or 2003 turtles more than anything, and that’s when things happened, they didn’t like it when the the show focused on comody and Characters, rather than the plot, even though those moments did have a lot of really good character to them. Rise as a franchise isn’t for everyone, but I still think they should check out the movie. It has a mix of everything.

[@urbanhawk2886]

Yeah I agree the Rise movie is also a genuine great movie and definately at the top of the TMNT movie list along with Mutant Mayhem. It is a shame as I honestly think they will not give it a chance and react to it. But still am really glad a lot of people do still praise and it is ranked so high by many. Hopefully maybe they will and tbh I think they will be in for a massive suprise as it is definately a lot more different from the series.

[@monster-enthusiast]

@jaredtheastralartist2510 yeah, one of the main things they brought up all the time was how little they trained. I think that combined with the episodes being out of order had them really frustrated. But people who only saw the Rise versions of the turtles didn't have expectations for what the series was gonna be, so them doing more shenanigans than training wasn't really an issue.

[@Samgreen90]

(At 7:32) normally the turtles are all the same age, but sometimes I judge their age by their personalities from oldest to youngest: Leonardo: responsible and Daddy's boy (The Strategist) Raphael: rude and cocky (The Brawns) Donatello: smart and nerdy (The Brains) Michelangelo: anxious and curious (The Wildcard)

[@studior2962]

My favorite part has got to be the guy who helped Splinter at the very end get the antiserum to the Turtles is voiced by one of the two original creators of TMNT

[@Otisboy121]

Like a Stan Lee cameo!

[@raye-raphaelsashay8521]

The reference humor in this movie works so well for me because 1. It feels legitimately relevant and timely, since they got a lot of it from the actual teens playing the characters, and 2. It's a part of the turtles legacy! If you watch the original 90s movies, they're chock full of pop culture references. And yeah, I get basically none of them, but it still helps the characters feel like real teens, and I don't think the movies suffer for them. I hope this ages just as well.

[@The_Phantasm]

My first ever exposure to TMNT was the 2003 animated series I have loved them ever since.

I definitely recommend you guys to check out the Rise of the TMNT movie however I feel like you guys should at least watch and react to the four part series finale to rise. Cause it'll explains some stuff you'll see in the movie for context like certains characters, the origins of where shredder got his armor and stuff etc. As well as seeing Shredder as serious threat and the turtles as well. Not to mention a pretty badass fight to end the series with.

[@raye-raphaelsashay8521]

Hard agree with this. They have the set up from season 1, the finale has some of the best parts of the show (even if the storytelling is a little rushed, it's taken more seriously than usual and I think they'd appreciate it), and after that the movie is an incredible experience that takes those characters to heights we never could've anticipated. I really think this is the way to go.

Wanted to add on since you mentioned it, they aren’t all the same age. They usually arent, but its the same for this iteration. Oldest to youngest, it goes: Leo, Raph, Donnie, then Mikey. In Mikey’s character description, they even classified him as “the baby”, so take of that what you will lol. Donnie is just a late bloomer, which is why he sounds so young

Mutant Mayhem is one of my top favorites of TMNT content! Saw it in Dolby Cinema and it was very cool.

Something I love about this movie is that I feel like it doesn't try to orient the focus solely on Leo and Raph like so many other turtles media does. Obviously I love those things too, but it was so refreshing to see each of the turtles have equal opportunity to shine! Idk the movie just made me so happy to be a TMNT fan like all of the characters are just so wonderful and delightful, and the animation is mind meltingly awesome. Genuinely one of my favorite movies ever--I love the direction both animation and the ninja turtles are going in. I love things with absolutely messed up looking humans I love it so much it reminds me of like Invader Zim or Paranorman or Psychonauts and it's wonderful

[@MilkyWayMarsBar]

As a 15-year-old who grew up with the Ninja Turtles, this movie really resonated with me. They even used Gen Z words that I always hear in highschool (and use myself) such as "Rizz" and "Sus" (for people who don't know: "Rizz" is basically like your "attractiveness" level----like how "pretty" or "handsome" you are to someone else, and "Sus" is short for "Suspicious". "Sus" became SUPER popular in 2018-2020 because of Among Us, a video game, and "Rizz".......I dunno. I just heard everyone at school saying it one day, then everyone on the internet using it, so I used it out of habit). I thought that I was the only one in the theaters that knew what those words meant and understood the 2018-2023 teen humor that they used in this movie (and it seemed like I did). But I was shocked with the very fact that a film used that word....because it was the first time I've heard that word outside of my school (and media), let alone in a MOVIE. On top of that, (even though I was born in 2007), I heard all of the songs that they used in this movie's soundtrack _WAYYYY_ back when I was about 4 to 7-years-old on the radio. I sang along to *ALL* of the songs in the movie due to this. (I kind of grew up on 80's-90's shows, movies, and music, ok?) They even did *two* Attack On Titan references, and my brother and I literally *LOVE* anime, and as someone who watchs Attack On Titan with my brother, those 2 references just _hit home_ . I don't really like BTS, but the media was CRAZY about BTS and K-POP in 2020 all the way to 2023, (and one of my cousins is a K-POP and BTS fan, so I always got an earful of BTS and K-POP songs from them playing it on their phone) that I also understood those references. Don't even get me STARTED on the fact that Donatello was wearing a *JOJO HOODIE* , bro, I was going CRAZY on that. I also liked the fact that the Ninja Turtles wore their _original 1980's belts_ . It gave me a good taste of nostalgia. And the fact that they even have *Wingnut* , *Mondo Gecko* , and *Leatherhead* , all from the 1980's Ninja Turtles show, that was crazy (Even though, yes, I admit, I only found out about Mondo Gecko from the 2012 TMNT show I watched as a 5-year-old). I was also happy when I saw that the Mutant Mayhem Leatherhead kinda dressed similarly to the 'ole 80's one. I was kind of confused that Leatherhead and Wingnut are girls now, though, but that's ok. Pretty minor, actually. I don't think the fact that Bebop and Rocksteady are in this movie is supposed to be shocking, but I was still shocked. I was a bit confused on why Casey Jones wasn't in this movie, (and why Shredder came at the end), but seeing Shredder at the end of the movie made me happy because I know there's gonna be a sequel. Casey Jones better be in the sequel, bro. Anyways, I gave this movie a 10/10 for all these reasons plus how funny the actors were and the animation and fight scenes. I literally thought this movie was so amazing, that I watched it *4 times* . In the theaters. Not even at home. (Not back-to-back, but I watched the movie 4 times in total in the theaters. Twice at the Howard Hughes theaters (I watched it one day, then the next day watched it again), and twice at the AMC theater (watched it one day, then 5 days later watched it again). This franchise was my childhood, and I loved the Ninja Turtles as a young kid. I even wore a TMNT hoodie every single time I went to watch this movie. That's how much I love TMNT. I still have 2012 Michelangelo's plastic nunchaku that I had since I was 4-years-old (though the color is a bit faded and the chain broke), but lost Raphael's plastic Sais (I never got Donatello's Bo staff and Leonardo's Twin Katana. Dunno why I didn't ask but I didn't). In short, this movie really hit home, since I'm a Gen Z teenager that grew up with the pop culture they used in this movie, on top of TMNT being my childhood franchise.

Lol love Boom’s excitement and enthusiasm for TMNT! I’m not a cartoon fan, but I enjoyed this movie and seeing fans’ passion for it is so infectious!

[@gr1mreap3rz15]

it's already confirmed to get a sequel, and a cartoon iirc! hopefully they're just as good :D

[@ruule]

The original turtle never had the letters on the belt. That only came later with the tv show. They do throw a lot of easter eggs in this movie that I love.

[@donathan2933]

I love how authentic and relatable this movie feels to teenagers in real life and our current society as a whole

[@MechanicGopher]

“She looks like she has a big brain. 🙂” I see you

[@cesarvictorino4301]

Would anyone like to see the 2003 Ninja Turtles tv show on here?

[@adiadean9962]

YES PLEASE! That was the show I grew up on and would love to see them watch it

[@donathan2933]

[@Gakukai]

I love this movie. I watched it a couple times in theatre and can’t wait to own it. I still got super emotional during the climax. I hope there are going to be lots of behind the scenes to watch when it’s released properly. Your review was endlessly entertaining. I would be SO STOKED if you gave Rise another chance. Please please please watch season two. The finale alone will make up for everything that you disliked about season one, and there are some really good episodes before that too. The animation only gets cleaner and while you don’t *need* it to watch the movie, there are probably a couple of small things that will shift how you see things. In a good way. I watched the movie first, then the show, and knowing the turtles better made rewatching the movie just so much more. It’s my favourite iteration of turtles, full stop, which is a really high bar. On a practical note the animation in the movie is so goddamn clean. I have seen it SO MANY times and I will NEVER get over what a good job those animators did. Pause it anywhere and you’ll have a solid screencap frame, bet. Between the season two finale episodes and the movie? I cry every time. It makes me so emotional and so happy. Legit powerful. I’m getting emotional just thinking about it. I love you guys and it would mean a lot if you gave the rest of Rise the chance it truly deserves. Mutant Mayhem is supposed to be getting a show. I can’t wait for you guys to be able to react to that as well. I hope they keep the art style. MM wouldn’t be the same without it.

[@taydengoodrich2634]

My favorite part of the whole movie is that the weapons look more handmade from scraps rather than authentic pristine weapons.

[@Weird-Writer]

Since the question was asked-: I believe the art style was based on highschool sketches, I even think a few of the animators were teenagers tbh-. I might not be correct- but to my knowledge I at least know that was what the style was based on- not 100 percent sure about the animators tho- Edit: Who else cried during the first time they saw the movie-? T-T

[@Samgreen90]

Yeah quick question regarding Bebop: Was giving Bebop sacky nipple piercings… necessary? Cuz, now I'm going to have trouble getting THAT "scarring" image out of my head.

[@user-kg3xs1bu6x]

YES! I agree with you about that, like W-Why just Why?! My original reaction to seeing that was "MY EYES!" And also is nobody gonna bring up the fact that his (wait,was it rocksteady's) shoulder guards were flipping TURTLE SHELLS???!!! 🐢☠️😱

[@julieta8683]

I love the fact that with this movie for the first time ever the turtles are actually voiced by real teenagers 😁💕, to me that casting move was genius 👏🏻

[@alexanderdelrisco1257]

Oddly enough, I can’t believe that Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails did the score for this movie. The score sounds amazing. That’s Nine Inch Nails for you. They’ve been making film scores since 2010 with The Social Network. And I remember reading that the soundtrack is mostly 90s Hip Hop.

[@Samgreen90]

(At 30:55) And do they also know that's the Ant-Man, Paul Rudd?

[@SpiderandMosquito]

I think what they're going for with the animation here is doodles in a school notebook

[@Reyna_Amaturi]

The director initially wanted to be put the Shredder in the movie but he wanted to introduce him like the joker was introduced in dark knight 😂🦇

[@donathan2933]

I’m fine with that

[@12333TMNT]

Just to let you guys know So the turtles are 15 and Leo is the oldest, Raph is the second oldest second youngest, Donnie is the 3rd oldest and 3rd youngest and Mikey is the baby brother of the group/family but not all the Ninja turtles are the same age in the TMNT 2007 movie the turtles are like 18 and 19 years old, In rise they are not the same age Leo is 16, Raph is 17 Mikey is 15? And Donnie is 16 as well

[@T-51_]

The ninja turtles also fight aliens from outer space, such as the Triceratons, and Lord Dregg

[@Otisboy121]

And aliens from another dimension called the Kraang

[@donathan2933]

⁠@@Otisboy121the Krang are basically evil Utroms 😂

[@RoninJoegenji0085]

First time watching channel. Yall popped up in recommendations and I was searching movie reactions for this film. Great video. Amazing film.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Yeah overall I liked this movie wasn't a fan of the art style but loved how they are actually the "TEENAGE" mutant ninja turtles in this version. I think this is a first as all other adaptations I've seen they feel more like young to full blown adults

[@donathan2933]

Nah the artstyle was tuff. Very comic book esque and the cel shading rlly brought the characters to life

[@Zamiiz]

Mutant Mayhem has been confirmed to be getting a second movie as well as a cartoon with 2 seasons already ordered which will be animated by titmouse :-)

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

Superfly's "One Winged Angel" moment is more hideous when you think about it. He didn't just force a fusion with those animals, they basically melted into his body and were in complete agony.

[@TheBestPirateDrake]

The artstyle is pretty much the same as teenagers drawing from hightschool, this movie is animated in a way that looks like it’s animated by teenagers.

[@beanzaru]

This is the first Ninja Turtles ANYTHING to have actual teenagers voice the boys.

[@Salik96]

I mean the 2012 did.

[@beanzaru]

@@Salik96 the 2012 show did NOT have actual teenagers voice the turtles, those were all grown men in their 40s-60s.

[@Salik96]

@@beanzaru I mean they still acted and sounded like teenagers. The 2012 did a mix of them being teenagers and them getting serous when it needs to be.

[@beanzaru]

@@Salik96 that's not at all what I was saying tho. I was saying they were voiced by actual, real teenagers

[@Salik96]

@@beanzaru Cool.

[@uberzilla7.764]

You guys should Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Got a lot of easter eggs for both Batman and TMNT, ooze mutations, and the Bat family and turtles against the Foot Clan, League of Assassins and various Batman villains. Seriously, if you love this movie, you'll love Batman vs TMNT! Also, if you do, there's a short post credit scene.

[@HappyEggz]

I don't know why some people are put off by their voices sounding so different. I remember being a teen and my guy friends' voices did not change at the same rate lmao. A few of them 100% still sounded like Donny does at 15 and it suddenly changed over a summer. XD I also knew some guys who sounded way too old for their age. It's weird like that.

[@Samgreen90]

(At 41:55) Splinter: You done fucked up.

[@arthurwatson2555]

I'm glad they enjoyed the movie ...I just don't like that it's at the expense of Rise, kind of cheapens the praise for me when it's also a diss at Rise

[@Samgreen90]

(At 2:30) Oh yeah, there's always one thing that stood out about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animations characters… Aside from the supporting characters like April, Casey, Irma, Karai, and maybe Bishop all the background characters (humans or civilians) look… really *BAD* if not ugly. The ones from 2003, I can say looked more decent.

[@2REALDNYGHT]

Just to let everyone know the guy who tried to help splinter up at the end of the movie is voiced by Kevin Eastman

[@donathan2933]

Yo Kevin Eastman? One of co creators of the TMNT franchise?

[@2REALDNYGHT]

@@donathan2933 yes

[@creamcheeseboi]

This movie was so good! The AOT reference coming in clutch for the climax was too funny. Yall should react to the live action movie trilogy. Those movies hold a special place in my heart 😂😂

[@sustelsuk]

The art style is middle school doodling , something that I mastered

[@nachoquesoso947]

YES PLEASE!!! Watch that 2006/7 movie!!!

[@hawkeyes2814]

I love how the gecko mutant did not know the 4 non blondes song and keeps saying step outside and I step outside..Step outside XDXDXDXDXD

[@4523bgb]

If i recall....not all 15 year olds hit puberty at the same time. I didn't get bass in my voice until like 16. 🤣🤣🤣

[@monkeybashplush]

Apparently they tried to make the art style look like a sketchbook

[@Lilusisu11]

OMG I LOVED THIS MOVIE

[@transyuri4534]

I ate gummy nerds in the theater when I watched this movie. Watching this reaction I'm eating sour gummy bears.

[@nicksmyth4050]

You guys gotta finish Rise man. Especially the awesome Netflix movie!

[@mayamaya6182]

I'm so glad that this movie brought back your faith in the TMNT franchise! It's artstyle was so unique, it really scritched my head the right way and made me jump around and giggle! I know Rise is not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're willing to give it a second chance, PLEASE watch the movie! It has the same breathtaking animation it had during the Season 1 finale and trust me, it does it job well!! Alot of people loved it and some even got to Rise BECAUSE of the movie! It's just that great and really worth the shot! And although I can't force any of you to continue watching the series, but if the movie scratched your head the right way, I would also recommend continuing Season 2 but maybe skip ahead to the lore heavy episodes. There were still a few filler episodes but since S2 had less episodes, it doesn't take away from the charm AND most episodes actually have lore relevance! So if you liked the movie, I recommend starting off where you left off! Again, I won't force you guys to continue watching Rise, and would wholeheartedly respect your decision if you decide to completely cut it off, but just know that if you do watch the movie, I'll definitely be there to react to it! P.S. I would LOVE to see you guys binge the entire TMNT franchise! ROTTMNT is what got me into it and oh my god, you cannot underestimate even the 1990s movies. They're all the GOAT!!

[@darthsader7089]

They were trying to make the animation shoreline a teenager's scrap book

[@yawkeyboy1996]

The sequel has already been announced as well as a spin off show for Paramount+. Due to the current strikes, we probably won’t see anything for a couple years.

[@GalekC]

I really like BOOM's Zelda-styled shirt
