So This past Tuesday we went to see the new Ninja Turtles
we were originally suppose to go see Oppenheimer
but plans changed last minute so we ended up
going to see Ninja Turtles.
I was very interested in this movie and followed
it production. Much like Transformers I'm a
life long Turtles fan so I was curious about it
being I think Turtles stuff should look a certain
way and somethings that have been done in recent
years such as Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I didn't like. I never watched an episode but
I just think the character designs look like
shit and I wasn't going to watch it becasue of that
anyway on as for this movie I needed to see the
character designs for this movie before I would
do anything and happy to say I did like these
designs but more on that below.
Also yes there was some collectable goodies
for this movie too which you can see here!
Now as for this movie. I thought it was great!
I would have to say that I did enjoy it
it was fun and funny at times and I do feel
it has a nice message about family and
acceptance and finding a place where you feel
like you belong in the world.
Now this is a bit of a origin story and tries
to reintroduce the turtles to a new and modern
audiences. They are younger in this movie then
they usually are in other forms of media
the turtles are all 15 years old and not only
that but April is also in her teens in this as
well she is also around 15 and is still in
High School in this movie
The Turtles origin is of course slightly different
in this one. It is close to the familiar way the
Turtles become mutants but its slightly changed as
in how they became Ninjas. Also the origins of
the other Mutant characters in this is changed
as well. I think that did that just for the
sake of the story and it does work in the
context of this movies story.
As for the designs of the characters which
as I mentioned was a very important thing
I felt that the Turtle designs in this were
actually very good they were different
and did match the ages that the Turtles were
shown as they were young and child like almost
playing up the "Teenage" aspect of who they are.
Some of the other characters looked great too
like Bebop and Rocksteady
and I love how they brought in various characters
from Turtles lore like Leatherhead,Mondo Gecko,
Wingnut (what no screwloose??), Genghis Frog,
Ray Fillet, and more. Where its great that
alot of these classic character appear on screen
many of them don't look like their source material
counterparts which is kind of a shame.
Now also another thing is the whole new
April in this. She was alright for this
she was written well and well voice acted
and an interesting character in how she is
presented. Now I could have done with out
the whole puking stuff which was just a bit gross
but also I know alot of people complained about
her appearance and I can't say I would complain
about it myself but I am a bit more old school
and do prefer the more classic April with the
short red hair and yellow track suit lol
but this April was fine for this version of the
characters.
Now like I said the movie is pretty great
it was a lil bit funny and a lil bit weird
but like I said it also nice message about
family and acceptance and finding a place
where you feel like you belong in the world.
The animation was very nice and smooth
and the artistic style of the movie
where it all looks like it is sketched
and painted to have that more comic book
look and feel kinda reminded me of
how the Spider-Verse movies look.
but the voice acting and the music
as well as the many references are
really nicely done.
I feel the ending of the movie tho
is a bit strange where they took it
but over all I thought it was great
and if you are a Turtle fan then I
would probably recommend it.
also there is a mid credit sequence
that is interesting and kinda sets
up a possible sequel.

future donnie.
i wasn’t really keen on the overalls when i first saw them but i think it fits him now. i think what bothered me at first was how simple and flat it looked.

Aaaaaaaah I speedran this drawing because I had to celebrate 2 years of the rottmnt movie!
I can honestly say I've never been into a fandom as much as this one and if you told me 2 years ago I'd laugh at the idea of even being much into tmnt. The animation style, great voice cast, fun writing all made me love it, but the people I met made me stay and draw and grow!
