Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animated Movie Coming To Netflix

It was announced today during Viacom’s fiscal first quarter earnings call that Nickelodeon Studios and Netflix has entered into a deal for making animated movies for both “The Loud House” and “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

I guess that’s good news for fans of the new style of Turtles

Sounds good to those of us who don't have cable and have not yet seen the new version of the Turtles.  Maybe Netflix will put the tv seasons on as well?

I'd prefer a movie continuation of the previous TMNT series on Nick. There's nothing to latch onto in this new series. The ultra short episodes don't really get you invested in the characters and the humor is pretty standard for kids shows, nothing special.

Seems a little too fast for Rise to have a movie, plus there's talks of another live action TMNT. This does intrigue me as I'm expecting this means that the film will have a more plot heavy story line given the recent origin reveals. Or is the movie going to be a separate stand alone story not affiliated with the Rise continuity? I've been hoping for Rise to have a crossover with the 2003 ninja turtles since the 2012 series did so with the 1987 version. I did find it odd that the promotions for Rise & Nick's #TurtleTuesdays featured a lot of 2003 appearances so maybe this movie can help with that idea. At the very least the movie should look dynamically stylish.

It’s not a terrible series and should definitely entertain the kids, but it went in a direction I’m not interested in. It’s essentially the cartoon version of Michael Bay’s turtles. That said, their take on Splinter is insulting to the iconic father figure and mentor. I’ve enjoyed the 1980s, 2003, and 2012 series, but this one strayed too far for me.

I haven't tried to watch the show yet.  I've seen a couple trailers.  While I find the character designs a bit off putting I did think the animation looked pretty stylish and fluid in spots.  I've actually been watching the 2003 series again recently.  Is it worth giving this one a shot?
