‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Trailer–The Heroes in a Half Shell Return to Theaters
The heroes in a half shell are back in theaters this summer with an all-new adventure. Check out the first look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem!
I’ve been a fan since I was around five, so the news that the franchise is coming back to theaters is a big deal. The TMNT is going to be on the big screen in a new animated adventure that has them taking on a mysterious crime syndicate, an army of mutants, and being awkward teens.
TMNT has gone through a number of animation styles over the last thirty-plus years. I can’t say I’m a fan of this one. The Pixar style is old hat, and every studio is looking at Sony Pictures Animation thinking, “we have to do that, but differently.” I get it, and experimentation isn’t bad. This just doesn’t visually look like something that’s going to be released in theaters, like it’s missing some passes.
I’m hoping that more previews will sell me on it because the rest of this project is great. The coming-of-age but weird story is perfect for the franchise, and the voice cast is packed with great actors – including the kids behind the turtles.
