Reaching his tenth film with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhemthe franchise of Kevin Eastman It is Peter Laird has a surprisingly small number of television productions. More specifically, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello have only starred in five series throughout their history, with the original series debuting in 1987.
Today we’re ranking each of these series from worst to best check them out (and tell us how your series turned out):
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (1997)
The characters’ first and only liveaction series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation premiered in 1997 and unfortunately frightened more than it pleased. The program even showed a certain pioneering spirit by introducing the first female turtle in the franchise, Venus de Milo. But the production had terrible acting and poor scripts that couldn’t reflect the urban language of the time without seeming forced.
The Turtles’ muscular design was also frightening. Immersed in the culture of muscular antiheroes of the 1990s, the series gave the main quintet bizarre rubber arms. The laborious maintenance work on the dolls didn’t help much, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation only lasted one season. For now, this remains the only truly bad series in the franchise.
Awakening of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2018)
Awakening of the Ninja Turtles It features by far the most creative character designs and animations the characters have ever had on television, and that alone makes it worth checking out. The action scenes are breathtaking and take the Turtles concept to a bold new level. Unfortunately, this boldness, which, among other things, gave the quartet mystical powers, was just as disliked as the mischaracterization of its protagonists, especially Leonardo.
The scripts for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” also sometimes seemed too childish, which led to the series gradually losing viewers until it was canceled after two seasons and ended with a film of the same name Netflix. The first season is available on Paramount+.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)
Don’t let the CGI animation put you off: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 is incredible and could easily top this ranking. The reboot of Nickelodeon It features some of the best story and character development the franchise has had to offer to date, and is also bold in the construction of its supporting characters. This was also the first series to truly focus on the teenage side of the main quartet, a concept that would eventually be further explored in Cao’s Mutant.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lasted five seasons and had names like Sean Astin, Jason Biggs, David Tennant It is Mae Whitman in his voice. All episodes are available on Paramount+.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)
Responsible for the birth of Turtlemania, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 1987 continues to be the basis for virtually every new release in the series. The animated film appeared just three years after the characters’ debut in comics and made the Turtles a profitable and recognizable entity around the world.
The series is no longer popular because, like Awakening of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it sometimes underestimated the intelligence of its target audience and because it is a product of its time, with some jokes and characterizations that no longer hold water today.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
Broadcast between 2003 and 2010, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stands at the top because it was the first to lay out truly unique characteristics for each of its protagonists. More than its predecessor, the series managed to build the main quartet in a way that expanded on what fans already knew, while also working on the rest of the Turtles’ mythology in a more mature way.
Produced by FoxThe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles even won a crossover with the 1987 series Turtles Forever, which aired in 2009.
It is worth remembering that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Chaos already has an animated series with two announced seasons find out more.
In the English version, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mayhem is full of wellknown names in the dub: Paul Rudd, Rose Byrne, John Cena, Jackie Chan, Ice cubes, Maya Rudolph, Hannibal Buress, Giancarlo Esposito, Post Malone and other. The main quartet is voiced by Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr, Nicolas Cantu and Brady Noon.
Created by Kevin Eastman It is Peter Laird In 1984, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starred in several TV series, films and games, both animated and liveaction. The characters’ last film was released in 2016 titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.
