Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

So it's not as gen alphay as mutant mayhem when in that movie they say slangs like: Sus, & rizz. But in show April says Drake. Which probably isn't referencing to what I think it is. If you know, you know. Also you can tell it's low budge because they were to lazy to find someone that sounds like Jackie chan, so they either got splinter to speak vermin, or Raphael doing a Batman voiceover. And the first half of the show is the plot shown in the trailers with the robots and everything, but the second half is something completely different. But overall it was okay. Mutant mayhem is way better.:)

I've been a longtime fan of the Ninja Turtles for as long as I can remember. Over the last 40 years there have been a lot of excellent shows, and there have been a few REALLY bad ones. I initially thought this would be somewhere in the middle after seeing the commercials. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It accomplishes what the predeceasing movie could not with flying colors (pun and reference intended). It took its time to explore the character of each turtle, which is ALWAYS appreciated. In addition to this, the show also does a wonderful job of expanding the world of New York City and the rouges within it. You will see characters from existing iterations return with Seth Rogan's spin to them, as well as be introduced to whole new characters that you have never seen before. SPOILER ALERT: While some of the new characters will seem a little boring in the beginning, you won't feel that way for very long.

While the art style will NOT be for everyone, I personally found it much better than the 3D style from the movie. It's colorful, scratchy, a little choppy (which actually compliments the many action scenes throughout the show). Love it or hate it, at least we can say it's better than TMNT 2012... (sorry not sorry).

It's a fun, action-packed, and even at times compelling cartoon that all generations can enjoy. It may not be the best, but it may be one of the best for me.

Saw some reviews complaining in here about the animation and how lazy it looks... Now, this baffles me has it seems it was done frame by frame, one of the hardest, most nightmare inducing forms of animation ever created...I'm not sure if it is, but I cannot begin to fathom how much trouble it went into creating this.

Some reviews also complained that the characters are stiff and nothing seems to move beyond the main characters and I want to let those know that crunch culture was invented to appease people like you. People that are never happy, that cannot do better but certain know how to complain most of the time.

Akin to modern slavery, animators are forced to work ungodly amounts of hours to make that character in the background move, just so mr so and so would approve of it. Ridiculous.

Perfect animation that reminds of the days of old and I love the idea that hand drawn animation is making a return.

Started watching with my son and nephews and I am very happily surprised. Watched the movie and then went into the series. I enjoy the continuity between the movie and the series as well as the animation style is so appealing! They put a lot of care into this animation and you can tell. Good for both adults and children.

Tales of the TMNT is a breath of fresh air in Nickelodeon's recent animation. It not only is 2D animated, it is visually pleasant, well animated cartoon. The combination of well animated motion with a neutral palette that is neither too garish (unlike the movie it follows) not too dark almost makes it feel like an 80's Disney movie.

Unlike the movie (and several recent TMNT works, for better or for worse) it has several quiet moments, and the less loud soundtrack gives it almost chill vibes at times, which is truly welcome for a cartoon aimed at kids. It feels a lot less overstimulating than some of its contemporaries.

Overall a solid recommendation.
