TMNT (2007)

I was thoroughly surprised by how good this movie was. The turtles’ personalities actually shined through to where they don’t all feel like color-coded clones. They each joked and had sarcasm that fit their personalities. It also felt like a unique story that wasn’t just another attempt at the Shredder villain. There was lore and thought put into it. The animation was hit or miss. This is a good gold standard for the minimum quality of a TMNT story. Also, Uncle Iroh is Splinter so that’s awesome. The voice acting is actually top-notch with a lot of well-known actors. Definitely check this movie out if you get a chance.
