Does this iteration ofTMNTmake us say COWABUNGA!
or should it be thrown to The Shredder?
These similarities to the original are a big reason the new show is so enjoyable across multiple generations.
The Kraang also make their appearance inRise of the Ninja Turtlesand remain true to their original look.
Another changed aspect thatRise of the Ninja Turtlesbrings about is Donatellos love for April ONeil.
April is also significantly younger than I expected.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rise of the Ninja Turtlesalso showcases weapon upgrades for Donatello and Michelangelo.
For example, while in battle, each sword hit and polearm smash are accented.
Each loud sound has its own exclamatory highlight.
There are also great animations that highlight certain feelings that one of the turtles is experiencing.
Overall, the animation is fluid and quick.
Michelangelo sounds a lot like Jeff fromAmerican Dad, while keeping his own voice intact.
Theres a lot of valuable messages inTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,although they may be unintentional.
The show promotes brotherly love and discipline, things we could use a lot more of these days.
And they cant hurt, can they?
I only have one major gripe with the newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesand that isMichelangelos new catchphrase.
that I remember has been replaced by a booyakasha, which is actually East London slang.
in the first series and the movies, so I can learn to live with it.
Still, it was an unnecessary change that took away a small slice of the turtle pizza I loved.
This is one 80s reboot that is just as good, if not better than, its original.
