Tag: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Great idea for a special with fantastic animation. However, fans of the 80s Turtles will probably be disappointed by their portrayal in the series. While a love for the franchise runs through most of the special, it sadly doesn’t come across for the classic series which is especially sad as it’s the main draw for most older fans. Viewers unfamiliar with the franchise would probably do better to watch either the classic series or the 4kids before to get a foundation. Otherwise I can’t imagine any of this will make much sense to you. With any luck the current Nick show’s crossover will fix a lot of these problems. I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
