I am actually crying! For those of you who never watched "Mutant Mayhem", please read my review. I do not go into spoilers in my reviews (or try not to if I can help it), but hopefully it will get you to watch the movie and, in turn, enjoy the movie just as much as I did. I am a grown man, and I grew up on the Turtles franchise. In the UK, they were called "Hero Turtles" rather than "Ninja Turtles", but that did not stop kids like me from wearing Turtles T-shirts, jeans and watching the Turtles cartoons. They even had games you could play, the "Teenage Mutant Hero (Ninja) Turtles" on. My first ever console was a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES for short) with a Turtles game included. The Turtles were a force in my childhood, so when Mutant Mayhem came out, I thought I'd give it a watch just to see how it was, and to my surprise, it was GREAT! It was a really good watch, fun and having actual kids voicing these characters was a nice touch, but this trailer is too funny!
This trailer short is set around the Christmas period, with the Turtles walking in the streets, unhidden from society, shopping for Christmas presents, until they come across a store with a TV in it showing the Turtles as action figures. But the depiction of the models used for the four Turtles is so funny, as none or maybe one of the Turtles has the correct name, and the rest do not. They all look dodgy and weird, with the incorrect number of fingers on some of their heads that are misshapen, and on top of that, they eat cheeseburgers, but if you know the turtles, they love Pizza. I could not stop laughing until I was crying because those action figures were too funny and their reactions were gold. I can not wait to watch this short film, whilst we await the movie. Let's just hope they bring in some other characters from Turtles lore, previously mentioned in my review, and let's expand the universe.
