Some of these reviews are taking this show too seriously. As far as media made purely for children goes, this is actually pretty fun. The music is pure 90s cheese, the actors seem to enjoy hamming it up for those excited kids in the audience, and the story, while not Shakespearean, works well when judged by Saturday morning cartoon standards. At least there's some joy here, rather than the tired, cynical laziness of the third TMNT live-action movie.
