With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem currently playing in theaters, you've got the perfect excuse to delve back into the tubular world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. Mutant Mayhem is the first feature starring the heroes in a half-shell since 2016's TMNT: Out of the Shadows, so it's finally time to bust out the pizza and catch a new turtle-tastic flick.
In Mutant Mayhem, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo venture out into the human world after spending years tucked away in the sewers of New York City. They want to get along with the humans topside, and the best way to do this, they deduce, is by performing heroic deeds. Their first move is to uncover a mysterious crime syndicate led by a criminal named Superfly. With aspiring journalist April O'Neil at their side, the turtles are well on their way to public acceptance, but not before Superfly mutates all the wildlife on the planet into a species meant to take over humanity. Er, no pressure.
You don't have to have seen every TMNT film since the original 1990 movie to understand what's going on in Mutant Mayhem. But if you want to experience the entire turtle saga, most Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies can easily be found on various streaming platforms.
