Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are many things. Toon-ified tortoises. Masters of the martial arts. But in what is a surprisingly revolutionary move for the long-running franchise, this time, they are teenagers first.
First springing onto the pages of Mirage Studios comic books back in 1984, TMNT soon escaped its underground comic and became an animated staple of the 1980s and ’90s. With their brightly coloured costumes and radical names, the turtle bros often sounded more like Point Break California surfers with their totally tubular street slang. Cowabunga indeed.
This new animated version comes from the producing team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg
