Rise of the TMNT Shorts (2019)
Amazing!
I love this show!! The animation, the feel of the movement, the colors, the design and the individuality of the characters, the small jokes that are genuinely funny, it's absolutely amazing! This April is the best, and I love the dynamic between the characters, I love seeing how much Raph cares for his little brothers, and Leo finely getting to kick back a relax for once, all while silently showing how much of an amazing leader he could be, and don't even get me started on Donatello and his tech and him being autistic coded, or Mikey and his mystic powers! Rise of the TMNT shows just how important family and chosen family really is! 10/10! I honestly recommend this series to anyone that wants something new to watch!!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)
This is just sad.
I wasn't super excited for this movie at first, but the reviews made it sound really good (go figure), so I gave it a chance.
It was really disappointing.
The humor was horrible, it was so cringy and trying painfully hard to appeal to kids, but like, only 10 year old boys.
The action in the animation was just sad, and carried little to no weight in any of the movements. For a movie with "ninja" in the title, there was shockingly little action that even felt remotely ninja-like...
The turtles also lacked individuality. There was so much focus on them as a collective that you rarely got much time with them as individual characters.
Most of all, the film was just boring. Clocking in at just over an hour and a half, it felt twice as long. Scenes dragged on, jokes really dragged on, like there was nothing at stake and the jokes just constantly undercut any real tension.
Needless to say, I'm not going to be watching the series, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
