I've been rewatching all of the TMNT shows with my 4 year old daughter who is obsessed with all things turtles. I grew up with the 80's/90's show and it was my favorite until I watched the 2013 show all the way through. It's my daughter's favorite as well. She calls the current show Big Ralph show because the turtles are all different sizes. It's very different from the other shows in a lot of ways, and this has caused some division in the fan base. I find it alright at best, but she likes it. The show was only on for 2 seasons so I was surprised we were getting a movie. It turns out to be really good.
The plot is somewhat cliche as it has to do with time travel. I feel time travel episodes/stories in shows like this are lazy writing, but they've dealt with it on other Turtles shows. It's not a bad story and kept us engaged until the end. It's a dark movie, but I like that about it. What I really appreciated was that we got a new version of a classic villain. The show hardly had any.
Like any movie of an animated show, the production values have gone up. The animation and colors are great. The voice work is top notch.
Overall it's a pretty decent movie that has made me appreciate this version of the turtles a little more. It would be nice if the show could continue to wrap up whatever story they want to tell. Or if this movie is the end it's a good way to go out.
