The movie

The upcoming animated superhero film is based on the comedic book characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laired.

This is the reboot to popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film series.

The turtles set out to be accepted as normal teenagers while taking on crime syndicates and an army of mutants.

After a decade of being sheltered from the human world, the turtles set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and to be accepted as normal teenagers.

The timeless story sees the turtles find new friend April O’Neil who helps them to take down a notorious crime syndicate.

The film will be directed by Jeff Rowe, screen play by Brendan O’Brian, and is scheduled for release on August 4, this year.

Nickelodeon first announced the film in June 2020, and the TMNT team set to explore the teenage aspect of the Turtles more than in previous films.
