Everyone’s favorite turtles – Donnie (Josh Brener), Leo (Ben Schwartz), Mikey (Brandon Mychal Smith), and Raph (Omar Benson Miller) – are visited from the future and learn they must do everything they can to change the course of events with the Krang. This movie has the highest stakes we have seen yet in this series, which warrants the nearly 90-minute runtime.

Those who have seen the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series already know these brothers feel like a different version of the turtles, a younger version of the turtles. Just looking at their names makes that clear, but it is very obvious when watching the show that they still have a lot to learn. This takes place early on in their journey, hence the title “rise of”.

This is much harder than it appears, of course, but it’s a great way to bring Casey into the story. Fans who have watched the show know that this series features the first female incarnation of Casey Jones in Cassandra Jones, but now the male version, Casey, is here. We won’t spoil the connection, but it is a great twist towards the end of the film.
