Mihailo M @RT08634381 05/23/2024 TMNT 2003 is one big surprise. Probably the best action cartoon of all time. See more Michele I @RT57629328 06/01/2023 This season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is AMAZING! Some of the best episodes you could hope for from seeing the Turtles training Casey when they were kids without him learning they were Turtles, or them realizing that this is Casey. To Aliens and off world adventures! I totally love the episode "Same as it Never Was" where Donatello is thrown into a future that could happen, worse part about it is that he never shows any growth of this episode when he got home... I'd hope for nightmares or something where we'd see him open up to Splinter about what he saw... but damn what a great episode. Overall this season offered us one adventure after another, stayed true to the feel of the 4Kids series which held action, comedy and heart. They slipped in new stuff for us to take in, they threw in stuff from the Mirage Universe, they gave us more Usagi and they even got Peter Laird's Planet Racer book into the show. Talk about giving us more and more with each episode. A favorite episode in this season is taken straight from the Mirage comics, the Michaelangelo Mirco Series... yes by time it hit 4Kids his name is spelled Michelangelo, but when that comic came out it was still the old fashion way of spelling his name with the extra a. I loved seeing Klunk appear, I loved seeing Mikey take action in saving those toys. It was so cool and I liked all the added in features of the others coming to celebrate with the Turtles. What a great episode. This is one of those seasons that made me beg for the weeks to go by faster just so I could see the next episode. The writers, the cast, and animators were at the top of their game and knew it. Highly recommend, but watch Season 1 & 2 before watching this season. It all fits together so well. See more 03/01/2021 Why It Rocks Excellent animation with very great action and fight scenes. It is the darkest 4Kids program ever made. The darkest incarnation in the franchise. The made for TV animated movie released in 2009, titled Turtles Forever, was exciting because it featured a crossover between three different incarnations on the ninja turtles, the 2003 version, the 1987 version, and the version from the comics. Very appealing art style and character designs, especially that of Shredder. This series incarnation of the Shredder, besides being by far the most evil and threatening, has a unique backstory and is a sociopathic alien named Ch'rell instead of an successor to the original or an immortal. Out of all of the TV adaptations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this one is considered the most faithful to the original comics, and it's creator Peter Laird's favorite adaptation. The characters are more complex and interesting than in the original 1987 version. This time, instead of focusing more on comedy until towards the end, the series focuses much more on drama from early on. The biggest example is the turtles having to deal with their appearances, that being the reason that they have to reside in the sewers instead of conversing with common humans. Great soundtrack. While the characters are more complex in this version, that doesn't mean that the comedy is neglected. The comedy is just as great as in the previous version. If anything this version manages to balance the comedy with the drama much better. Good voice acting, with the main turtles all having great chemistry. Another thing that this series does more than the previous incarnation of the turtles is going in depth with the martial arts training, which is immensely important as it shows how the turtles become as strong as they do when it comes to combating evil. Outstanding pacing. Episodes like "Exodus", "Enter the Dragons" and "Same As It Never Was" were examples of excellent episodes. Impressive plot twists. Impressive character development. Nice Back-Story for Casey Jones. Memorable Villains like Hun, Bishop, Stockman, Karai, The Foot Clan and the Purple Dragons. Sometimes it tackles mature topics like PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and Poverty. The show is like a legacy to Batman: The Animated Series. Even though Season 6 and 7 were mixed, the theme songs were catchy, especially Back To The Sewer. The series finale Turtles Forever was a great way to end the series. Its follow up show, the 2012 animated series, was too, well received. The series shows that reboots can be done right. See more 01/03/2021 Best. TMNT. Series. Ever. From start to finish, this show was serious enough that I could enjoy it as an adult & light enough that it didn't traumatize me as a kid. I thought maybe childhood nostalgia had exaggerated how good it was in my mind but after rewatching the whole series again, it truly is as fantastic as I remember. Easily the best adaptation of the comics with an unmatched plot and beautiful animation See more Read all reviews
