Mihailo M @RT08634381 05/23/2024 The best cartoon of all time after The Smurfs. It's true. 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. The best season of maybe any show ever. 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
