Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

Overview

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) brings the heroes in a half shell back to television in a fresh, computer-animated take on the classic comic-book team. Raised in the sewers of New York City by their rat sensei, Splinter, four turtle brothers step out into the world for the first time as teenagers — and discover that life above ground is far stranger, and far more dangerous, than they ever imagined.

Blending fast-paced ninja action with comedy and a strong sense of brotherhood, the series follows Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo as they learn to work as a team, take on the villainous Shredder and the alien Kraang, and protect the city they are only just getting to know. It is a lively, family-friendly adventure that honours the Turtles’ history while giving them a modern look and feel.
