Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is definitely fun to watch and is certainly more sophisticated than the Turtles’ original animated adventures.
-
Tales functions better as family-friendly escapism than as a sneaky commentary on serious topics. What the series is sincere about are the joys and frustrations of a family. When the Turtles are finally reunited, the support they show each other feels all the richer because we understand so well what it means to each of them individually.

If you loved Mutant Mayhem, you’ll also enjoy Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which makes for a terrific follow-up that expands the world and sees the four boys grow as individuals. While it does suffer from some pacing issues and stiff animation from time to time, the series more than makes up for that overall with its humor and wonderful characters.
-
The first half of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles never reaches the heights of Mutant Mayhem. But it still plants a unique flag in the ground by beautifully reimagining the film’s animation style, retaining most of the key elements that made Mutant Mayhem amazing, and telling a story that delves into the psyches of the individual Turtles.
