At San Diego Comedian-Con immediately, Paramount gave us one final main have a look at Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, its interquel animated sequence meant to bridge the hole between Mutant Mayhem and its upcoming theatrical sequel.
Set to launch in just a few weeks, Tales of the TMNT will observe Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael (with Mutant Mayhem‘s younger stars Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Midday all reprising their respective roles) as they attempt to navigate highschool stay alongside their new greatest good friend April (the likewise returning Ayo Edebiri).
However the arrival of a brand new risk within the metropolis, within the type of the anti-mutant Bishop and a military of large robots trying to clamp down on the mutant resurgence after the occasions of Mutant Mayhem, sees the brothers pressured to go their very own separate methods, and be taught to be heroes in their very own rights earlier than they re-unite as a workforce. However any good TMNT present wants a killer title sequence–and Tales‘ revealed at Comedian-Con (and debuted on-line by Collider) this afternoon, is a delight.
Taking inspiration from Mutant Mayhem‘s scribbly-aesthetic–one of many first ever teasers for the movie was executed within the fashion of teenager scribbling artwork into the liner on their college pocket book–the sequence is a extremely cool, fashionable riff on transitioning the movie’s aesthetic to a 2D type. The motion, the results, the overall alt-teen vibe: it’s protected to say if that is something to go by, the world of Mutant Mayhem is dropping little or no in its leap from the massive display screen to streaming TV.
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is about to start streaming on Paramount+ August 9.
