Storyline

Cowabunga, dude! The Turtles are back. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo are four mutant turtles, trained in the art of "ninjutsu" by their sensei, Master Splinter. The animated series explores their camaraderie as they learn to rely on one another as they unravel the mystery of their existence and train to become the heroes they are destined to be. And they're doing all that while trying to defeat Master Shredder, an old enemy of Splinter who is training a peculiar band of ninjas while hiding in New York City. When they are in the surface world, the Turtles become involved in a conspiracy involving alien creatures, robotic droids and missing scientists. And they come face to face with the glowing green substance that originally mutated them.

Quotes

[series theme song]
Chorus: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes in a half shell! Turtle power! / Here we go! It's the lean, green, ninja team / On the scene, cool teens doing ninja things / So extreme, out the sewers like laser beams / Get rocked with the shell-shocked pizza kings! / Can't stop these radical dudes / The secret of the ooze made the chosen few / Emerge from the shadows to make their move / The good guys win and the bad guys lose...

User Reviews

Short and Simple Review

I gave this a 10 out of 10 for good reason. TMNT being my favorite childhood series I didn't think I could ever see that "magic" again. Nickelodeon has surpassed that with this new series. The personalities with each turtle goes much deeper than the simple catch phrases and slap stick persona's we grew up with, yet maintains it with a fresh new approach.

The humor in this show is undoubtedly to be enjoyed by both children and adults. Never have I really given a chuckle to a kids show like I do with this series, and every episode! This is the turtles at their best in any kids series throughout their history, hands down. (IMO)

To the old fans who are still whining, please change your huggies and grow up along with this new generation.
