Verdict onTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is an animated adventure following the four turtles on their first mission. It shows how they don’t feel like they fit in the world and look for acceptance in the world. They look to stop a fellow mutant who has plans for revenge on humanity.
This is a heartwarming story for the turtles. While dealing with a big threat is everything, we would have come to expect from them. It is the need to feel accepted in the world that drives them forward. There is a big discussion about accepting people or in this case mutants differently. This has nice laughs that play out throughout the film and poke fun at certain things about the past of the turtle’s challenges. If you are a fan of the characters, you will enjoy the adventures in this one.
Final Thoughts – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a lot of fun and has a massive heart.
