Even for the celebs they got, they did a good job. Chris Evans as Casey was good, Patrick Stewart is always great, Buffy as April? I can't complain about the actual celebrity cast especially when they went the extra mile and got professional VAs for the Turtles and Splinter
This movie never gets old to me. Even though I’m getting older. I love this film because of the relationship between Raph and Leo. The brotherly relationship. My only favourite scene is when they fought on top of the building. That mix emotions I get when that happened. This movie is really underrated but a masterpiece. I wanna say more but the movie says it from me.
Ironicaly enough this film is one of the few things I have in common with my brother. Though he just liked the monsters. Maby we should watch it together again.
The last line of the movie where Raph said "Man I love being a turtle" really and truly made me feel a type of way that I can't explain.Its so sad to know that we'll never get the well deserved sequel not even a series
So glad I'm not the only one who loves this movie. This is my favorite TMNT film. And the fact that we've got a confirmed CGI movie in the works gives me hope that we'll hopefully see the Turtles in their prime again. I absolutely love this movie though and this was one of the first things to introduce me to TMNT in general. So thanks for making this video
Same, dude. It’s criminally underrated and just in general not talked about enough. And it’s by far my favorite TMNT movie, too. Also, I’m glad you liked the video!
I absolutely loved this film, so many memorable moments for me. The part when Leo got taken and Raph was trying to save him made me tear up, I can’t lie. I loved the turtles as individuals as well, such a masterpiece in my opinion.
TMNT 07 had great voice acting, incredible fight scenes(each of the turtles had their own unique style of martial arts) amazing character desings, and a pretty decent storyline. The movie was a success in my book.
Over The Hedge really brought the fur/hair WITH animation to life in the movie business which took alot of computing a redoing until it was perfect. Great music and actors for that too. What streaming TV channel has Over The Hedge though? Can't find it.
I’m am only 14 but I’ve loved the ninja turtles my whole life. I was born only a couple years before this movie was released. I remember getting all the toys and watching that movie all the time! I even played the ps2 game for it as well. I loved this movie and still do. Definitely very underrated.
@@PredatorH2O What do you think executions, jails, hell even MULCTS are made for? Criminals can't get away with what they do, yet again, not all ways to stop them are right.
this is one of my fav versions of the tmnt, it was a different take, them already having beaten shredder and other foes and them being seperated at the start of the movie. It was refreshing. i enjoyed the plot so much, and it was kinda scary for me as a little kid watching it (those stone creatures omd). I even had the ps2 game. all round good installment, sad they didnt make a sequal after they teased it in this movie
This movie is so good. It was supposed to become a trilogy. So sad it was forgotten to time. Hopefully now that its on Netflix more kids should watch it
I love this film cuz it's really good my favorite fight scene is Leo vs Raph in the rain. Plus you can't beat the original classic live action TMNT trilogy I'm sorry but I still love this film.
Yeah, I feel you dude. Leo and Raph have arguably the best relationship in this film ever put to screen. And yes the live action version is a classic and will always be iconic.
“The music gets all Pirates of the Caribbean all of a sudden.” Well, Klaus Badlet is credited as the composer for the first movie, so that does make sense.
1. You made me revise that movie. I used to like it, but now I have a turtle marathon, and it's really one of the best movies. 2. 79 subscribers? Dude, you're the one who's underrated. 3. Your essay is really good. If you need advice, I'd like to see more of your thoughts than a story retelling, but then again, you're pretty good. I love you and I really hope you'll keep doing it because you're good at it, but it's only going to be better. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the kind words! You have no idea how much it means to be called underrated😅. And yeah for the movies that aren’t so well known (like TMNT and my Ben 10 video) I tend to do story retellings/analyses so people have some sense of what I’m talking about. But thanks again! And yes TMNT 2007 is amazing.
I rate this movie (10/10) the same as you did in my thoughts😂 but that made me feel a lot better, because of your great movie review. Thank you for making my childhood better👍
This movie is part of my childhood and I watch it occasionally still watch. After having the original series, and a couple of live action movies this animated movie felt like a breathe of fresh air and became a hidden gem. You have the dynamic of the characters growing, and with their leader gone they all have their own take and settle in. The music is over the top for the mood of this movie. The score for the intro, Leo's return, the mellow tone of the music when Raph and Leo argue at the apartment, and ooh... I can't describe how amazing the rooftop fight is between Raph and Leo. Their morals, the animation, the music. It's immerses me everytime. Also it might just be my opinion, but since they're humanoid Turtle's I think it fits TMNT to be animated sooo much better than being live action. I love the original movies, but given the cartoonish style of TMNT it's better as a animated film.
I don't know why but Raph laughing when Leo said "I'm better than you." Really set Raph off because to me, his laugh is saying "Oh really? You think you're better than me? You think I'm doing all this because I'm jealous you?" Raph has always been jealous of Leo, but for what he doing for the city, being the nightwatcher he not doing it because he thinks he can do a better job than Leo. But more, "I'm doing this because it better for the city." Raph has the same goals and intentions as Leo, and he not wrong for having a different mindset than Leo. Both of them aren't wrong for having ways of doing justice. Ultimately Raph and Leo are two different people at the end of the day. They don't have to understand what they're doing most of the time and that's ok, they just need to respect each other different mindsets even if it conflict with their own.
This was always my favorite tmnt movie. Though if I were to change some things I would give Mikey and Donnie more scenes. As for the rooftop scene, I'd prefer if Leo was actually trying to recruit the nightwatcher to fight the stone warriors only to find out it's Raph. This would make this moment personal with Raph saying "You were gonna replace me" and Leo saying " well you quit anyway". But still, it's the most epic Raph and Leo fight ever.
I really enjoyed it as a kid. Despite the story not having much lore other than the foot clan, it was interesting the direction they took with it. I definitely enjoyed the more serious aspect of it, reflecting that of the animated series that ran for multiple seasons. The CG was definitely on point for the time. Would’ve loved to see a sequel or two in this format. (Definitely better than the two live actions we got from Michale Bay. 🤣)
I'm 27 years old. (And a girl. :D) I was 13 when I first saw it and I STILL love it. This means something. :D I would love it if a series would be made of it. We should write a petition for the continuation. :D
I never realized this movie is forgotten. I’ve watched this film so many times I’ve lost count. I first saw this film in 2013 and I couldn’t stop watching it over and over again.
Why am I just finding this video? But ngl I loved this movie as a kid still do as a 14 year old. You can learn a lot from Leo and Raph's sibling relationship,and I like how they portray their relationship. This is an underrated and underappreciated masterpiece. *I'm glad I have it on DVD*
I was honestly so young when I saw this movie that I somehow remembered the voices better than the images. This movie is probably why I fell in love with tmnt (And why Raph is never complete without a Brooklyn accent!)
@@RyanBeane I love when they are portrayed to have accents. It gives them another layer of character depth by showing where each of them got influenced the most. The 1990s were a mosh pit of American culture, and its such a good rendition of the tmnt when you can tell that Leo was influenced by the blue collar culture and dislikes having an accent at all. Donnie also seems very educated without an accent, but sometimes pronounces something oddly because he only ever read the word in a book, never heard someone say it out loud. Mikey is so much fun with a nearly surfer dude style accent from having watched so many "cool dude" movies. Then Raph, of course, has always been very aware of his surroundings, living in the moment. So he gained a bigger New York accent. I love this style of portrayal.
100% agree with everything you said. Totally an underrated masterpiece. Sad we never got the second one that was hinted at by Karai. Surprised you didn't know who she was. Her and Leo have a kinda relationship in the comics. Also, the best line is when Mikey knows what Halley's comet is and then says, "yeah, I'm smart." But then crashes his skate board on the half pipe. Great video and editing dude. 👍🏻
They didn't have a relationship though especially when one of the creator dislike the idea of humans and Turtles having a romantic relationship. Leo just respects her as someone who knows honor and is a honorable warrior. He acts the same with Usagi, an honorable samurai. Honestly, I am pretty tired of people shipping him with her. One of the reasons I dislike the 2012 series.
I consider the fight scene between Raph and Leo to be the most legendary scene in animation history. It may be an unpopular opinion but it's really a scene that explains itself. Towards the end of the fight, no dialogue whatsoever and Raph's expression gives me chills everytime. It kinda brings tears to my eyes
Jfc im a grown ass woman but my level of excitement when finding a video essay for TMNT took me right back to being 12 when this movie first blew my leetle brain.
Hahaha so glad I could recapture those childhood memories. This movie does not get near the appreciation it deserves, so it’s always nice finding people who actually do like it. Cheers!
Let's not the forget the fact that TMNT 2007 is a continuation of the storyline of the original 90s films which I thought was amazing U could even see the TGRI capsule, The time septor and obviously shredders mask
I loved the fight scene between Raph and the small monster because when the camera switched to Ralph's PoV the music actually died down and it felt like the music actually played
Thank you for discussing how stupid it was that Leo didn't know that Raph was the Nightwatcher, and how the scene would have been 1000% better if he had known. Leo had just found out the world was ending in 24 hours...Splinter had just told him to bring back Raphael...so he goes after a random vigilante? Plus it makes the entire Hamato family look like fools. The first time I saw this in theatres, I was so excited, thinking this was Leo's master plan to bring Raph home, and then Leo is so shocked and appalled and it made the scene meaningless. But the Raph/Leo fight was epic, I'll give them that.
The 2007 TMNT is actually my movie of the franchise. There's also an interesting detail during Leo and Raph's fight scene that I really like. Leo is collected for the most part and mostly just defends and deflects while Raph is blinded by rage and charges violently and agressively during every attack. A good symbolism of how angry Raph was and how Leo felt forced to fight his brother but didn't actually want to hurt him. The movie in general has both action, emotions, humour, and very nice interactions between the characters. Overall, a wonderful masterpiece of a TMNT movie! ^^
Amazing video man! This movie is awesome and was my childhood. I also played the game on PC and bought almost all the figures. Such a good film. The CGI still holds ups and looks great, the story was very good and the soundtrack was fucking epic!! Thank you for this video it unlocked a lot of my childhood memories😄😄
It's interesting that I'm finding TMNT related things now that I'm into it. I really really love this movie, it's a huge part of my childhood. The turtles look absolutely fantastic and have subtle facial differences, colors, and mannerisms that even if I was watching this movie grayscale, I'm sure I'd still be able to tell the turtles apart. The voice actors did a fantastic job breathing life into their turtles and Splinter is voiced by Iroh himself, Mako Iwamatsu. Unfortunately Mako passed before he was able to see this finished product but knowing that he was in this movie makes it feel more special to me. The dialogue is filled to the brim with random banter and one liners like 'come to daddy' (which I love thank you, Taylor) and adds a lot to the scenes they're in. The animation and visuals are pretty and I can't get enough of it. This movie apparently follows after the animatronic movie trilogy and makes miniscule references to it, but I wouldn't know. Since they're older that basically means this is actually Adult Mutant Ninja Turtles, in a way. A big complaint about this movie that I've seen was the story. Specifically about the narrative being flimsy or not liking the Leo-Raph drama. I think the brother drama in this movie is really natural. Raph says himself they haven't heard from Leo since he left which I can only assume means that Splinter didn't tell any of the turtles that Leo was writing to him at all. Which in turn probably means Raph felt abandoned and learnt how to do things for himself in that year. Probably to Raph, Leo came back acting like nothing happened and trying to fit himself back into the team. The arguments have some really well written and well voiced dialogue and the brother conflict climax, being their fight in the rain, was very well choreographed. Then Winters' story intersects with the turtles in a pretty natural way which gets the turtles in the right place at the right time to fight the stone generals (which apparently the movie can't figure out who's fighting who). They all make up and learn to fight as a team; it's a really lovely finish to this movie. I love pretty much every aspect of it. The songs, the soundtracks, the animation, the dialogue, everything comes together to give us this underrated masterpiece of a turtles film.
Well said 🤙🏼. This Leo and Raph relationship will always be my favorite. And both the animation and music just give it that extra depth and aesthetic that I love so much
Since this movie is now 14 years old... I just wanna say I appreciate this video, since so many don't know of it. I went to see this movie for my birthday 14 years ago, and for so long the TMNT was my favorite movie ever, damn I feel old now
Dude this is straight up my favourite Turtles movie! I remember watching this when I was a kid and playing with the toys and the video game which is still really fun! This movie deserves more attention and it’s a shame it never got a sequel
dude this movie is what got me into tmnt-i was crazy about it when i saw it years ago, and yah, it’s still incredible. sooooo underrated. it’s amazing bc of its quality, storytelling, animation for its time (settings, coloring!, design), and most importantly, the way they do the characters. im honestly so glad i found your video, it makes me so happy 😂🙏
This movie is great. I am a huge turtles fan and have been since I can remember. But I COMPLETELY remember this movie coming out and I know how badly I wanted to see it. I got an A on a math test and going to see it was my reward. I'm 23 now and I look back on this movie just as fondly.
great video man i love this movie as well i always hated we didn't get more from this version of the turtles! i used to play the game until i unlocked everything damn brings back memories. Love seeing smaller youtubers grinding you have a new sub
I agree. And I saw the movie when it came out and never stopped. Of course the movie has some errors, but on the other hand is really different from the typical tmnt movie, is more personal. And finally, the soundtrack is just unique I can say is my favorite tmnt movie
This is not only what introduced me to the Turtles but also what introduced me to going to the movies. This was the first movie my dad took me to see at the cinemas.
I remember being given the DVD for this film when my mum had bought it in on a whim at Blockbuster and just falling in love with it. It was my introduction to TMNT and shaped everything I loved about the franchise today; the older animated series I also loved. The dynamics were amazing and the overall storyline was brilliant. So much so that the more recent and well-known series and movies became honest letdowns. I'm just glad some people remember this film in the light it deserves.
it may be an underrated masterpiece but this movie was the ONLY movie that introduce me to the ninja turtles, For ever up to this day i will forever cherish this as my best childhood memory.
I watched this in the theater when I was 8 or 9 years old. Such a good movie and you will love it if you're were a fan as kid. Also played the video game which was pretty fun as well.
I always watch this along with the Original trilogy and before y'all say tHoSe ArEn'T rEaLlY cAnOn, well technically yes, but if you look at the trophy room or memory archives, or Easter Eggs, aside from that Shredder mask they had all the adventures from the previous movies like the canister with the ooze although I'm pretty sure that one says TCRI, their Honor Guard disguises from the third movie, hell they even had the Time Septor which they placed the helmets on top of, so even if y'all hated the third movie, which would be everyone, it's still pretty canon to all their previous adventures, the only new thing was that Mouser. But point is This was like the first TMNT movie I ever saw and owned and even though I was born from around the time the 2003 series aired this was still kind of my first introduction to the characters.
Huh, wow. I guess I never really noticed all of those Easter eggs, but that’s really awesome! And, same, this was my first introduction to the characters and franchise, so this will always hold a special place in my heart.

I’m actually really curious if anyone has ever seen this movie. Let me know!🔥🔥🔥
I have seen it. Only because I found it for free on Xfinity
Hey Creed👋🏼. I’m a huge fan of your work.
You know I’m not the real creed right?
I’m just a dude that thought this username and profile picture would be funny
I’m kidding 😂
FINALLY. A human being talking about this movie. It's so forgotten it hurts.
Hahaha yeah it’s always nice finding people that appreciate it just as much as I do
YES!! I used to watch it so much with my brother when I was little!! It was so good!
This was my favorite movie for so long.
And I still play ps2 tmnt lol
Amen to that...
Damn, dunno why this film was forgotten, but it's sad that it was...
You said it!
I respect this movie for getting actual, talented, professional voice actors as the turtles and not just “haha le EPIC topical CelEbRiTY”
Same dude. The turtles voice actors killed it in this movie, and it would really date the movie if they just got the most mainstream celebrities.
Ryan Beane *cough* SCOOB *cough*
Even for the celebs they got, they did a good job. Chris Evans as Casey was good, Patrick Stewart is always great, Buffy as April? I can't complain about the actual celebrity cast especially when they went the extra mile and got professional VAs for the Turtles and Splinter
This movie is actually what introduced me to the turtles as a kid.
Same, dude
Me too. Of course I never really got into them but they seemed very cool to me due to this movie.
For me it was the 1990 turtles, but I did love this movie sooooo much
Same
This movie along with the 2003 series did it for me.
This movie never gets old to me. Even though I’m getting older. I love this film because of the relationship between Raph and Leo. The brotherly relationship. My only favourite scene is when they fought on top of the building. That mix emotions I get when that happened. This movie is really underrated but a masterpiece. I wanna say more but the movie says it from me.
Well said 🤙🏼. And yeah that Leo and Raph fight will never not give me goosebumps.
Ironicaly enough this film is one of the few things I have in common with my brother. Though he just liked the monsters. Maby we should watch it together again.
the amount of euphoria i get when mikey is shredding the sewer is immaculate tho
The last line of the movie where Raph said
"Man I love being a turtle" really and truly made me feel a type of way that I can't explain.Its so sad to know that we'll never get the well deserved sequel not even a series
I know exactly what you mean
I always thought this was good but when I tell my friends they look at me like im crazy
Ikr? So underrated.
exactly none of my friends even remember this but its my favorite movie
Its old but its gold
I still prefer the first one but this one is a close second, not counting Batman vs TMNT
Finally, someone gets it!
Uncle Iroh is Splinter! Nolan North is Raphael! I really enjoyed this movie as a kid. Haven't seen it in ages.
Oh yeah the cast is fantastic. I highly recommend watching it again, then. It brought back so many memories for me.
Did you know Mako died shortly after finishing the voice sessions for splinter in this movie, it's really sad.
And James Arnold Taylor aka ratchet from ratchet and clank plays Leo which is awesome
I’ve watched this movie a million times as a kid and it’s goated
So glad I'm not the only one who loves this movie. This is my favorite TMNT film. And the fact that we've got a confirmed CGI movie in the works gives me hope that we'll hopefully see the Turtles in their prime again. I absolutely love this movie though and this was one of the first things to introduce me to TMNT in general. So thanks for making this video

It’s amazing
I wish we could live in a society where everyone knows TMNT and over the hedge were the best animated movies
For real. So under-appreciated.
yeah at least a person like you understands art
litterally my childhood
Over The Hedge really brought the fur/hair WITH animation to life in the movie business which took alot of computing a redoing until it was perfect. Great music and actors for that too. What streaming TV channel has Over The Hedge though? Can't find it.
yes share the knowledge and it will happen
I’m am only 14 but I’ve loved the ninja turtles my whole life. I was born only a couple years before this movie was released. I remember getting all the toys and watching that movie all the time! I even played the ps2 game for it as well. I loved this movie and still do. Definitely very underrated.
Oh yeah the ps2 game was a classic 😂
Sameee
“Doing what’s right vs doing it the right way” I have never heard such an epic set of words to get to the same ending
Haha thanks so much dude
Though if you think about it doing the right thing means doing it the right way as well.
@@PredatorH2O Not really. You can punish criminals by killing their children, for example. Right thing but wrong way.
@@cybercriminal3110 NO. Not the right thing at all, wtf. Punishing someone is not right.

This film is so underrated it’s godly
I know right
The Leo vs Raphael fight is low key one of my favourite scenes in any movie ever. Its incredible
Facts
this is one of my fav versions of the tmnt, it was a different take, them already having beaten shredder and other foes and them being seperated at the start of the movie. It was refreshing. i enjoyed the plot so much, and it was kinda scary for me as a little kid watching it (those stone creatures omd).

This movie is so good. It was supposed to become a trilogy. So sad it was forgotten to time. Hopefully now that its on Netflix more kids should watch it
I completely agree
It is on HBO Max now along with the live action trilogy.
I love this film cuz it's really good my favorite fight scene is Leo vs Raph in the rain. Plus you can't beat the original classic live action TMNT trilogy I'm sorry but I still love this film.
Yeah, I feel you dude. Leo and Raph have arguably the best relationship in this film ever put to screen. And yes the live action version is a classic and will always be iconic.
It’s cool cause it’s connected to those movies
I loved this movie of the tmnt and the way of the animation is awesome, I wish there was more made with this style
Same dude
“The music gets all Pirates of the Caribbean all of a sudden.”
Well, Klaus Badlet is credited as the composer for the first movie, so that does make sense.
Huh, I never knew that, but that’s so cool!
This movie was my world when I was a kid. It got me into Ninja Turtles and voice actors.
Same
Me too. Still Love This Movie & Will Always Be My Favorite Even Till This Very Day.
I don't understand why people forgot about it as it's the Golden masterpiece of the TMNT series
the 2007 was the first time i even seen or heard of tmnt and it's what made me love tmnt. nostalgia
It’s so good
Never forget when Donatello and Mikey hug each other for dear life when the first monster showed up.
1. You made me revise that movie. I used to like it, but now I have a turtle marathon, and it's really one of the best movies.

You have the dynamic of the characters growing, and with their leader gone they all have their own take and settle in.

This movie is a masterpiece, love the relationship between the turtles in it. Glad to know more people like this animation as I do. Nice video man 👌
It really is, and yeah this is definitely one of the best relationships between the turtles. Also, thanks so much man!
You deserve more subs mate, excellent breakdown!
Thank you!
Bro, Splinter was voiced by Mako in this movie! Uncle, The GOAT, Iroh himself!
RIP to the legend.
RIP indeed

I would definitely sign the petition!
Plus Iroh's voice actor from Avatar playing as splinter is perfect.
One of my favourite movies of all time
Same honestly
I watched this when I was younger and for some reason I remember it being live action and I don’t know why
I never realized this movie is forgotten. I’ve watched this film so many times I’ve lost count. I first saw this film in 2013 and I couldn’t stop watching it over and over again.
I love it
I had seen this when i was like 4-5 years old, NOSTALGIC
NOSTALGIC INDEED
Growing up and even to this day I consider it the best TMNT movie
Same
4:28 bro this was my favorite part of the movie as a kid😭😭 “why skate a half pipe when u can skate a sewer pipe”
Hahaha yeah it’s great
Why am I just finding this video?
But ngl I loved this movie as a kid still do as a 14 year old.
You can learn a lot from Leo and Raph's sibling relationship,and I like how they portray their relationship.
This is an underrated and underappreciated masterpiece.
*I'm glad I have it on DVD*
It really is a masterpiece. And yeah Leo and Raph’s relationship is probably the best it’s ever been.
*Also I have it on DVD too*
I was honestly so young when I saw this movie that I somehow remembered the voices better than the images. This movie is probably why I fell in love with tmnt (And why Raph is never complete without a Brooklyn accent!)
I agree, the Raph Brooklyn accent is a must
@@RyanBeane
I love when they are portrayed to have accents. It gives them another layer of character depth by showing where each of them got influenced the most. The 1990s were a mosh pit of American culture, and its such a good rendition of the tmnt when you can tell that Leo was influenced by the blue collar culture and dislikes having an accent at all. Donnie also seems very educated without an accent, but sometimes pronounces something oddly because he only ever read the word in a book, never heard someone say it out loud. Mikey is so much fun with a nearly surfer dude style accent from having watched so many "cool dude" movies. Then Raph, of course, has always been very aware of his surroundings, living in the moment. So he gained a bigger New York accent. I love this style of portrayal.
100% agree with everything you said. Totally an underrated masterpiece. Sad we never got the second one that was hinted at by Karai. Surprised you didn't know who she was. Her and Leo have a kinda relationship in the comics. Also, the best line is when Mikey knows what Halley's comet is and then says, "yeah, I'm smart." But then crashes his skate board on the half pipe.
Great video and editing dude. 👍🏻
Thanks so much, dude! Yeah I guess I gotta brush up on my TMNT knowledge 😅. And yeah that line is amazing.
They didn't have a relationship though especially when one of the creator dislike the idea of humans and Turtles having a romantic relationship. Leo just respects her as someone who knows honor and is a honorable warrior. He acts the same with Usagi, an honorable samurai. Honestly, I am pretty tired of people shipping him with her. One of the reasons I dislike the 2012 series.
@@miyako1909 THANK YOU
I consider the fight scene between Raph and Leo to be the most legendary scene in animation history. It may be an unpopular opinion but it's really a scene that explains itself. Towards the end of the fight, no dialogue whatsoever and Raph's expression gives me chills everytime. It kinda brings tears to my eyes
Jfc im a grown ass woman but my level of excitement when finding a video essay for TMNT took me right back to being 12 when this movie first blew my leetle brain.
Hahaha so glad I could recapture those childhood memories. This movie does not get near the appreciation it deserves, so it’s always nice finding people who actually do like it. Cheers!
Let's not the forget the fact that TMNT 2007 is a continuation of the storyline of the original 90s films which I thought was amazing
U could even see the TGRI capsule, The time septor and obviously shredders mask
That’s true
I loved the fight scene between Raph and the small monster because when the camera switched to Ralph's PoV the music actually died down and it felt like the music actually played
It’s so good
Thank you for discussing how stupid it was that Leo didn't know that Raph was the Nightwatcher, and how the scene would have been 1000% better if he had known. Leo had just found out the world was ending in 24 hours...Splinter had just told him to bring back Raphael...so he goes after a random vigilante? Plus it makes the entire Hamato family look like fools. The first time I saw this in theatres, I was so excited, thinking this was Leo's master plan to bring Raph home, and then Leo is so shocked and appalled and it made the scene meaningless. But the Raph/Leo fight was epic, I'll give them that.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this
This is my favorite TMNT movie I search this up to see what I will find and here you are thank you for making this man
It’s my favorite too
The 2007 TMNT is actually my movie of the franchise. There's also an interesting detail during Leo and Raph's fight scene that I really like. Leo is collected for the most part and mostly just defends and deflects while Raph is blinded by rage and charges violently and agressively during every attack. A good symbolism of how angry Raph was and how Leo felt forced to fight his brother but didn't actually want to hurt him. The movie in general has both action, emotions, humour, and very nice interactions between the characters. Overall, a wonderful masterpiece of a TMNT movie! ^^
Amazing video man! This movie is awesome and was my childhood. I also played the game on PC and bought almost all the figures. Such a good film. The CGI still holds ups and looks great, the story was very good and the soundtrack was fucking epic!! Thank you for this video it unlocked a lot of my childhood memories😄😄
Thank you so much! I love that so many people are connecting with this video
Bruh I loved this movie as a kid. Well, Loved is a bit of an understatement
There’s no word out there to describe my love for this film
It's interesting that I'm finding TMNT related things now that I'm into it. I really really love this movie, it's a huge part of my childhood. The turtles look absolutely fantastic and have subtle facial differences, colors, and mannerisms that even if I was watching this movie grayscale, I'm sure I'd still be able to tell the turtles apart. The voice actors did a fantastic job breathing life into their turtles and Splinter is voiced by Iroh himself, Mako Iwamatsu. Unfortunately Mako passed before he was able to see this finished product but knowing that he was in this movie makes it feel more special to me. The dialogue is filled to the brim with random banter and one liners like 'come to daddy' (which I love thank you, Taylor) and adds a lot to the scenes they're in. The animation and visuals are pretty and I can't get enough of it. This movie apparently follows after the animatronic movie trilogy and makes miniscule references to it, but I wouldn't know. Since they're older that basically means this is actually Adult Mutant Ninja Turtles, in a way.
A big complaint about this movie that I've seen was the story. Specifically about the narrative being flimsy or not liking the Leo-Raph drama. I think the brother drama in this movie is really natural. Raph says himself they haven't heard from Leo since he left which I can only assume means that Splinter didn't tell any of the turtles that Leo was writing to him at all. Which in turn probably means Raph felt abandoned and learnt how to do things for himself in that year. Probably to Raph, Leo came back acting like nothing happened and trying to fit himself back into the team. The arguments have some really well written and well voiced dialogue and the brother conflict climax, being their fight in the rain, was very well choreographed. Then Winters' story intersects with the turtles in a pretty natural way which gets the turtles in the right place at the right time to fight the stone generals (which apparently the movie can't figure out who's fighting who). They all make up and learn to fight as a team; it's a really lovely finish to this movie. I love pretty much every aspect of it. The songs, the soundtracks, the animation, the dialogue, everything comes together to give us this underrated masterpiece of a turtles film.
Well said 🤙🏼. This Leo and Raph relationship will always be my favorite. And both the animation and music just give it that extra depth and aesthetic that I love so much
Since this movie is now 14 years old... I just wanna say I appreciate this video, since so many don't know of it. I went to see this movie for my birthday 14 years ago, and for so long the TMNT was my favorite movie ever, damn I feel old now
That’s awesome. It’s such a good and movie and incredibly under-appreciated.
Probably one of most most favourite movies ever loved it so much
Same, dude. It just gives me this certain sense of nostalgia that no other movie has ever been able to recapture.
They should keep this world alive. Such underrated movie. Jesus i miss it soo much. They need this team back.
I agree
Dude this is straight up my favourite Turtles movie! I remember watching this when I was a kid and playing with the toys and the video game which is still really fun! This movie deserves more attention and it’s a shame it never got a sequel
Same, dude! I definitely played with all the toys too, and was so disappointed by how it never seemed to go anywhere and there wasn’t a sequel
dude this movie is what got me into tmnt-i was crazy about it when i saw it years ago, and yah, it’s still incredible. sooooo underrated. it’s amazing bc of its quality, storytelling, animation for its time (settings, coloring!, design), and most importantly, the way they do the characters. im honestly so glad i found your video, it makes me so happy 😂🙏
It’s so good! And I’m glad you found my video, too!!!
2:18 quadratic formula I see
Ayyyyy yes nice catch 😂
Godamn you for reawakening my love for this movie, I had nearly forgotten about it haha
That’s what I’m here for😎
This is in my Top 10 most underrated comic book films of all time.
You’re a man of culture, I see
I’d watch this movie all the time as a kid, I’m 18 years old and it’s been 10+ years since I’ve last seen it and I wanna rewatch it now.
It’s an annual rewatch for me at least lol
I was scared to rewatch this because i was afraid it would not be as good as i remember
Honestly, same. But I’m so glad I was wrong.
I remember that watching this a few times when I was younger remember loving it and then forgot about it till now
It’s such a good movie
This movie was great and i actually love the design of the turtles
Same. I love how aerodynamic they look and are able to have a lot of expression in the face. And it really is a great movie.
This movie is great. I am a huge turtles fan and have been since I can remember. But I COMPLETELY remember this movie coming out and I know how badly I wanted to see it. I got an A on a math test and going to see it was my reward. I'm 23 now and I look back on this movie just as fondly.
That’s awesome, man
This movie might be the most underrated movie of all time,too bad it didn't have a sequel
I completely agree
@@RyanBeane not to mention that the soundtrack for the movie was a 10/10
The stone soldiers song is definitely top 10 villain themes
@@RyanBeane gave me goosebumps bro😂
I watched the movie(when I was 6) and enjoyed it, and I played the game on pc and it was one of my favourite games back then
It’s so good
great video man i love this movie as well i always hated we didn't get more from this version of the turtles! i used to play the game until i unlocked everything damn brings back memories. Love seeing smaller youtubers grinding you have a new sub
Thanks so much, dude! And yeah the movie and game were both top-tier
True. My favourite part is when Raph fights the little red creature in the kitchen and pulling those jokes, absolutely killed me 🤣
Hahaha yeah that’s great
I agree. And I saw the movie when it came out and never stopped. Of course the movie has some errors, but on the other hand is really different from the typical tmnt movie, is more personal. And finally, the soundtrack is just unique
I can say is my favorite tmnt movie
It’s so good
This is not only what introduced me to the Turtles but also what introduced me to going to the movies. This was the first movie my dad took me to see at the cinemas.
That’s awesome
10:45 I heard that it took them a full year to animate that fight scene.
Wow, that’s insane. Well worth it, though!
This movie was the best ... I'm soo glad that someone goes into depth with it... because I love this movie.. favorite tmnt ever
It’s so good
In all honesty,this movie is my favorite out of all tmnt movies.
Same
This movie was the first TMNT movie I watch, it was so popular and every kids love it ❤️
It’s so good
I wish this movie got a sequel and might feature some classic villains such as Kraang, Bebop & Rocksteady and Leatherhead.
That would have been so cool
This was a marvelous movie.
Best TMNT show I ever saw.
The Yaotl, the CHAIN fighting, the Monsters.
The emotion, the terror.
It's fantastic.
For real
Its annoying how hated and underrated this movie is. Its genuinely good
For real
i watched this movie DAILY as a kid… i still have the dvd and it doesn’t play past the first 10 minutes 😭😭 so glad someone else remembers this movie
Rotten Tomatoes when putted 35% in the movie: 𝙒𝙝𝙔 𝙣𝙊𝙏?
Exactly lol
Man, what a nostalgia. It's one of my favorite animated movies when I was younger.
I love this movie so much!!!🤩
Same!
I remember being given the DVD for this film when my mum had bought it in on a whim at Blockbuster and just falling in love with it. It was my introduction to TMNT and shaped everything I loved about the franchise today; the older animated series I also loved. The dynamics were amazing and the overall storyline was brilliant. So much so that the more recent and well-known series and movies became honest letdowns.
I'm just glad some people remember this film in the light it deserves.
I’m loving how much this video is bringing all of us fans together
Whenever it's on Netflix I watch it
Sameee
it may be an underrated masterpiece but this movie was the ONLY movie that introduce me to the ninja turtles, For ever up to this day i will forever cherish this as my best childhood memory.
Same. I watched this movie all the time when I was younger and it was really the reason I love these characters so much.
Thank you so much for making this! To this day, I love this movie! This got me into TMNT in the first place
No problem! And I love this movie, too! Definitely my favorite of the franchise.
@@RyanBeane You officially just became my favorite person! 😁👍🏻
Ayyyy thanks so much 😂

*¿WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE VOICE CAST?*
The voice cast is amazing! You can really hear the emotion in their voices especially in the Leo and Raph fight.
I watched this in the theater when I was 8 or 9 years old. Such a good movie and you will love it if you're were a fan as kid. Also played the video game which was pretty fun as well.
The game is just as goated
Just reviewed it and it still holds up as a underrated masterpiece.
Facts, dude
TMNT was my childhood
Same, dude
I always watch this along with the Original trilogy and before y'all say tHoSe ArEn'T rEaLlY cAnOn, well technically yes, but if you look at the trophy room or memory archives, or Easter Eggs, aside from that Shredder mask they had all the adventures from the previous movies like the canister with the ooze although I'm pretty sure that one says TCRI, their Honor Guard disguises from the third movie, hell they even had the Time Septor which they placed the helmets on top of, so even if y'all hated the third movie, which would be everyone, it's still pretty canon to all their previous adventures, the only new thing was that Mouser. But point is This was like the first TMNT movie I ever saw and owned and even though I was born from around the time the 2003 series aired this was still kind of my first introduction to the characters.
Huh, wow. I guess I never really noticed all of those Easter eggs, but that’s really awesome! And, same, this was my first introduction to the characters and franchise, so this will always hold a special place in my heart.
I still remember this and it’s my all time favorite movie
You’re a person of culture, I see
