One may be forgiven for presuming that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) franchise has outlived its shelf life and is languishing in some corner, dreaming of its glory days. The original comic book Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird created debuted in 1984, and action figure toys followed in 1987, the same year a TV series was spun off.

The first TMNT movie came out in 1990; we all know how video games soon followed. So, that’s 39 years now of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, but there’s still no stopping the quartet!

The ensemble voice cast is another coup for the film. They smartly used real kids to voice the four; Nicholas Cantù, Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., and Brady Noon. And then they brought in a heavyweight stellar cast to fill in the other voices. Narrative-wise, the film tackles the experiences of the outsiders, the ones who are shunned or thought to be too different. The fact that Chan voices Splinter as a first Gen immigrant helps support this and how he sees his four wards as better equipped to interact with the society he doesn’t feel he belongs in. What’s nice is how this is peppered with jokes and humor to qualify as family entertainment.
