The 2012 animated series that was actually good and was like one of the only good Nickelodeon shows at the time before it ended.

[@j.f.1516]

Last Ronin storyline will always be #1, but for me overall the whole 2012 series is amazing!

[@matthewcronin2325]

This is exactly what I needed today. This and the 2003 show are the kings

[@Ebonyleopard]

There’s o lot one really two TMNT movies left to watch. TMNT Turtles Forever and the Rise of the TMNT movie.

[@267BR]

This is my favorite TMNT movie and i understand why people think it sucks, the second half was changed and not traditional turtles otherwise it would've been perfect i agree. BUT, the animation, designs, voices, that one donatello sex hotline joke is still up there with my favorite quotes of all time 😂 and the leo and raph fight... legendary 👌🏾🔥❗️ "no sir i'm not playing hard to get, this is not that kind of phone line 🤨"

[@DanGamingFan2846]

This movie is so underrated. And there are so many callbacks to previous turtle media. The fight between Leo and Raph is one of the greatest TMNT scenes of all time.

[@jakeivy7231]

For real I always watched this movie after watching the live action trilogy

[@donnyouttheway4091]

@@jakeivy7231it’s basically part 4. Imo though. They should’ve just kept going with this animation style. I saw this one video of some cgi of one of the turtles from the first movie fighting foot ninjas. And it was damn near perfect for now

@@donnyouttheway4091 But this movie always felt more like 2003 turtles then the old trilogy

How do you become a fan of TMNT? :

[@Jonathan_Collins]

Honestly out of all the TMNT remakes this was my favourite, the deffinitly looked less terrifying than the Michael Bay version. When I was a kid and first saw this, it looked so realistic! I was so disappointed this didn't get a sequel.

[@muscular-lr6er]

Saw the movie in theaters!

[@Mohamadtheman]

The Michael Bay turtles aren’t terrifying y’all just hate change

[@MediaLoverChris02]

This is a sequel

[@Mohamadtheman]

@@hydepark1382 I just think it’s stupid to always expect the turtles to look cute they’re called mutants for a reason I dig the Michael Bay looks specially that they actually have noses in these movies when I noticed the lack of nose I appreciated the few versions where they have noses like real turtles

[@Wolfhunter5607]

i loved this movie as a kid

[@streetrat48]

Fun Fact: Kevin Eastman and the director consider this to be in the same timeline as the 90's live action TMNT trilogy

[@MikhailSamunin]

Broad strokes have rarely been this broad.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

The Leo vs Raph fight is SO iconic but I feel like a lot of people tend to miss WHY it's iconic. It isn't just because of events in THIS movie. It really does feel like YEEEEEEEEARS of pent up anger and rage boiling over for Raph. Because this movie feels closest to the 03 iteration, it can be seen as like a final curtain call for those turtles. And the fight felt intense because of that. They were really GUNNING for each other-it wasn't just a typical "oh they'll work it out during the fight" type of fight like we've seen before such as in 2003 where they fought several times. THIS was a "oh it's really real" fight. The camera getting really up close and personal during the fight was a great call on the director/cinematographer because it makes you the viewer feel pretty uncomfortable in watching this fight...it makes you feel like you SHOULDN'T be watching this pretty personal fight go down.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Well Leo was actually holding back. You could tell after he saw it was Raph he didn't wanna fight. The fact Leo basically destroyed Raph while he had the helmet on with only his bare hands while Raph had his chain flails shows Leo is more then Raph's match if he really was serious

[@akarbit3r111]

This movie was definitely based off of the '03 series, not 100% but there is too much stuff in relation to that series to not think so. Loved the '03 series, was definitely one of my fav series growing up.

[@rmhartman]

After all of the live action attempts, which weren't all bad, this was a breath of fresh air. Being able to see the turtles move so freely was incredible.

[@Rembreiker_lychec9257]

Recently discovered this movie, can’t believe how underrated this is. The rooftop Raph vs Leo fight is iconic, the main theme is... 🔥 Also that Mikey sewer skating scene might have given me claustrophobia, lol.

[@Elnont]

This film was my childhood. That fight between Raph and Leo was iconic to me.

[@Brook11223]

I really enjoyed this film and it' sad they didn't make a sequel. This was the final theatrical performance of Mako who voiced Splinter. Also you had pre Steve Rogers/Captain America voicing Casey Jones with Buffy The Vampire Slayer herself voicing April O' Neil. Patrick Stewart voicing the immortal being who seeks to end his immortality.

[@lisajenny9]

I watched this recently and I was so surprised at the cast. They got great actors.

[@U-A-V]

It really sucks the sequels didnt get made, loved this movie as a kid and still do I even bought the handheld games for it. We need more of the great aspects of this movie in more adaptations nowadays.

[@jairusjackson7799]

Leo vs Raph in this movie, is my favourite moment in the entire TMNT franchise. I feel the build and the tension through years of the shows being released in this scene. The anger in Raph's face, the voice acting before the fight, the setting of the fight, I love everything about that scene. I've always wanted another moment to come out of this franchise as good as that again

[@popeye697]

It's crazy how Raph immediately realized that he actually lost that fight. It was a big character moment

[@deadn00b1]

[@Fatalbeast22]

An interesting fact about the Leo vs raph fight, is the Sai were very often used to break or lock swords, so raph literally uses the counter weapon to Leo which played a big part in him winning the fight, as we see before that point he was getting put on the back foot

[@barnes_and_noobs]

I remember being so hyped for this movie and wanting it to make more of an impact than it did. For what it was and as a Turtle fan I still enjoyed it and the turtle designs still look great. I remember loving every time the turtles were shown in shadow with their eyes glowing white.

[@2sallads]

To me this is still the last Turtle related piece of media to really make an impact and have a soul to it. 2012 show was good. But I never felt fully invested. Mutant Mayhem was cute. But just not very TMNT feeling. Just feels like a coming of age movie with a tmnt skin. Not a lot of turtles aspects that i apreciate.

[@SeyaDiakite7]

Having grew up with the 1987 tmnt series and the early 90s movies. I still love that movie as well as the family conflict in it. Thanks for existing guys

It also shows how equal they are as fighters

[@jjstarrprod]

From an animator's insider view, 2007 was such a golden year for animation at large. TMNT 2007 was a fantastic addition to the saga (it's supposed to be a continuation of the original live action saga, so not exactly a remake). In Japan, 2007 gave us the cult classic Seirei no Moribito series, and the absolutely insane movie Sword of Stranger (if you enjoy anime, this one is one for the ages). As for studio Imagi's TMNT, it was planned that they'd do a sequel, sadly their next movie, a reboot of Atom boy, completely tanked, and it bankrupted them, so that sequel was never made. It could have been one of the greatest TMNT movies ever. Still, I'm glad Mutant Mayhem is finally picking it up after nearly 15 years.

Patrick Stewart (Evil - Big Bad) : Check out the movie 'Green Room'. Its one of those incredible films that just passed under most people's radar. Also R.I.P Mako who voiced Splinter and is known for Uncle Iroh (Avatar: TLAB); This was one of his final performances.

[@FrankR_23]

The Shredder helmet is from the second movie, this is kind of a fourth movie in that universe.

[@Neo_Starlite]

This Splinter with sunglasses is literally the Cheetos Cheetah

[@HoodieHorizon]

I love both the rooftop fight and the fact that the main "big bad" of this movie's goal was just to kill himself.

[@Swenglish]

I believe the main reason the Shredder wasn't in this was because Peter Laird (TMNT co-creator who was the sole owner of the IP at the time) felt that it had been done to death. The Shredder was a short-lived villain in the original comic, and it was the 1987 cartoon (which Laird had mixed feelings about) that made him more of a long term nemesis (and introduced Krang, inspired by the far less evil Utroms from the comic). The 2003 cartoon had also ran the Shredder into the ground at that point. So Laird basically requested that Kevin Munroe come up with something else. Max Winters, the stone warriors and and the 13 monsters did not come from the comics. That was all Munroe, I believe (although a couple of the monsters are supposed to be Bigfoot and the Jersey Devil, which he technically didn't come up with). I'm not sure whose idea it was to make this a sort of loose sequel to the live-action trilogy rather than a hard reboot. I suppose the term "reboot" in this context had only been around for a couple of years at that point, being coined around the time of Batman Begins to distinguish it from a prequel or remake.

[@kaya3599]

God! I love this movie and I literally dreamed that someone would make a reaction to it! the fact that someone could not see him is just terrible and I'm glad that now someone else has looked at him

Weird that I was certain I didn’t recognize this movie until I started recognizing scenes in this reaction. Memory is a strange thing. 😆 Wait, Uncle Iroh is Splinter?!

[@infamous499]

You guys are killing it! One of my favourite TMNT projects to date.

[@BriSand1993]

So glad you guys reacted to this and that you had a fresh perspective. It's like you guys feel the same way about the movie I do. Literally some people only think the rooftop scene is worth watching and to be honest you guys didn't touch on it too much in your final discussion which debunks that narrative. I like that you guys understood this movie is about reconnecting with family and that the main plot juxtaposes what's happening on both sides most people don't care for these nuances and just write the film off as generic and boring.

[@jaydenpinela1005]

I was obsessed with this when I was a kid kept watching every day

[@MikhailSamunin]

38:43 But the 13 monsters' homeworld was conceived as a take on the dimension X.

Is there a single reason why these turtle designs couldn't have been used in live action? They wouldn't even have needed much additional texturing.
