Critics, per Wikipedia

IGN named TMNT as the 55th best show in the Top 100 Best Animated TV Shows. While the story diverged heavily from the original conception of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the universe of the original Mirage comics, the 1987 television series is largely the most notable and popular incarnation and drove the franchise to the phenomenal status it would achieve in popular culture. Co-creator, Peter Laird, has publicly shared his distaste with the show on numerous occasions but has also acknowledged that it was extremely successful with and beloved by its audience and, while he would have preferred a different approach to the material, it might not have been as popular as what was…

    The animated saga of the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ is reportedly in an uncertain future, relying on the “Mutant Mayhem” sequel performing well. Paramount has already announced a new live-action film with the ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ film franchise producer Neal Mortiz.

    A study of select music videos directed by Steve Barron who also happens to be the director of my favorite film of all time, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). Let’s explore how he frames movement, mood, and lighting, tracing how those same directorial instincts show up in #TMNT. 🧵👇

    The biggest lie of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was that they needed all those video games and cigarettes to recruit to the foot clan. Just show a group of 13 year olds a picture of those fucked up turtles and they would have been down to beat them to death hammers for the hell of it.

    I'm 40 years old, and when Republicans start yelling about "communism" it just confuses me. I didn't grow up fearing the Soviet Union. It died when I was still watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. I figure they're communicating to really old people (which is bizarre since I feel extremely old). It's the equivalent of yelling at cavemen about saber tooth tigers.
