In this re-imagining of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, brothers Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo, along with their friend April, try to keep New York City safe from a mystic alchemist with a mysterious connection to their past.
This version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has something for everyone; bright colours and fluid animation for younger viewers and compelling storylines and characters for the older ones. Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been praised for its accurate and positive portrayal of neurodiversity, for exploring themes of intergenerational trauma, and for blending elements of Japanese folklore into the fold. Whether you're a fan of animation or just like the turtles, Rise of the TMNT is a triumph for modern cartoons.
