TMNT - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Original Title: TMNT ) is an American, completely computer-animated adaptation of the comic series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . The film draws on events from two series, as this film is both a continuation of the Turtles real film series from the 90s, and is based on the new cartoon series of the early 2000s . This can be seen, among other things, from the fact that April O'Neal is an antique dealer in the second series, but the time travel scepter from Turtles III can be seen on his shelf in Splinter's room , as well as other relics from the real-life films I - III.

The film launch in Germany was on April 12, 2007.

content

Shredder is dead and the Turtles are scattered to the wind. Michelangelo works as a clown for parties, Donatello works on the telephone hotline and helps out with computer problems and Raphael fights alone for law and order on the streets of New York City . Leonardo was sent to the jungle by Splinter to train and become an even better leader.

After Leonardo returned from his training more than a year later, he was supposed to make a team out of the group that had fallen apart. The task turns out to be far from easy. Raphael in particular has not really done well the time without his big brother. His nights as a secret avenger and his double life have made him "rebellious" and he no longer wants to submit to any leader.

Parallel to the training, the wealthy industrial tycoon Max Winters tries to capture 13 monsters with the help of Shredder's successor Karai in order to perform a ritual that can only take place every 3000 years. He did it 3000 years ago, which brought him immortality at the time, but also transformed his four faithful companions into stone figures. In addition, the 13 monsters were unleashed on the world. Max Winters had regretted his deed for the next 3,000 years and wants to reverse the ritual with the help of his followers. The stone figures that have been brought back to life have other plans. You want to transfer even more monsters from the other dimension to the world in order to usurp world domination.

After a fight between the rebellious Raphael and Leonardo, Leonardo is captured by the stone figures. The stone figures want to sacrifice Leonardo to the ritual as a false monster because they want to manipulate the ritual. Master Splinter is forced to let the Turtles come back to the surface. The subsequent fight ends with the generals and the 13 monsters - the last one has since been found - are thrown into a dimensional rift, which then closes again. After that, however, Winters dies, who also loses his immortality with the banishment of the 13 monsters.

background

• For Makoto Iwamatsu , who died on July 21, 2006 , this was the last role.
• The film was budgeted for $ 34 million and grossed $ 94,643,244 worldwide.
• The film takes up some elements from the original comic series. April is now an antique dealer as in the template and Karai is the successor to Shredder, and TMNT has a somewhat gloomy undertone, as can be found - even more intensely - in the template.

Reviews

“Commercial for PC games and plastic figurines. It's your own fault who pays admission for it. "

- Cinema

“Technically, 'TMNT' has been implemented almost perfectly. The animations are state-of-the-art, the music is rousing and the design of the characters and the surroundings are extremely successful. [...] The big budget rejuvenation of director and co-writer Kevin Munroe has worked. "

- filmstarts.de

"Although the cartoon is sobering with its very simple plot, the 3-D computer effects help the action and the characters to a somewhat entertaining revival."
