RISE of the TMNT: THE MOVIE - I Have To Explain | Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Movie

Forgot to mention in the video, but for some reason Netflix, which has the movie, only has the first season of the Rise series. Weird. The entire series is on Paramount+ or you can buy the episodes on iTunes or Amazon Prime.

"You're supposed to be making jokes and pop culture refrences and dabbing, now you're making me feel things!" This perfectly describes Rise of the TMNT

it’s honestly crazy seeing them get attention after being a fan for so many years… it’s really weird because we got so much hate for liking it

The best thing about Rise Leonardo and Rapheal is the reason why they became leaders. Neither became the leader because they WANTED to, but because they HAD to. Raph was the oldest he had to so he was always worried for his brothers, Leo had to become a leader because Splinter said so, but not until things got serious did he truly become a leader to his brothers. Raph even asked Leo in a cut scene "did you think I wanted to be leader. I had to watch over my little brothers"

Even as a kid growing up in the 90s, you had to accept three different versions of the TMNT storyline...and we did...because there was no internet.

3:22 Creators basically confirmed this in a recent interview. They also confirmed the original future opening was 10 minutes long but got cut because Nick refused to give Rise even one more minute for the movie.

I was impressed with how much heart was put into this. A fantastic finale that will make anyone watch the entire series again.

I decided to check out RotTMNT: The Movie. I can't believe I almost cried, it was so heartfelt.

This got me freaked out seeing Krang not needing his robot suit for half of the movie. To then suddenly go all out and then be stopped by being sent away to his dimension. Kinda shows how powerful he is.

I thoroughly enjoyed Rise Of The TMNT along with the movie. And that is why I highly encourage people to give shows like Rise a chance. I can understand that it's not like the original or at the very least a recognizable version like 2003 or 2012. But if I've learned anything by giving new shows a chance to tell their own story, you will be pleasantly surprised. Especially when the story takes a more serious turn later down the line

Krang felt more like a threat in this movie then any other adaptation… and I loved how they took them and made there robot suits look like those statues from the TMNT movie

Stellar Review!! This movie Made me REALLY Want a Turtles Forever 2 with the 1987, 2003, 2012, and Rise Cast all interacting and where The Rise Krang just punk all the other villains into working for them but the Shredders would be all sneaky about betrayal but also just seeing the Other Leornardos react to Rise Leo being soo goofy lol. I loved this film tremendously and gotta give nothin but love to the team who worked on it

It’s literally called “Rise” of the Turtles, so it’s funny that it’s just now dawning on me that the series & the movie together is the origin story of TMNT, ending with Leo rightfully becoming leader.

Bringing up your point on the whole 11-minute thing at the start, yeah, the Rise team said stuff like more comedy and shorter runtimes were mandated by Nick. I mean, Lou should see all the stuff the team behind this movie wanted to put in here stuff the team behind this movie wanted to put in here + the show on Twitter, It makes me hope that the success of this film will make Nick reconsider Rise for a second shot - weirder things have happened!

As someone who's been a Rise fan since the beginning and who's still seeing hate for the series years after it first aired and then ended far too soon, I'm so glad the movie just proved to me why this iteration is easily my favorite and why it deserves so much more love. Both the show and movie are some of the best looking western cartoons of the last decade, and more than anything, the fact that Rise wasn't afraid to add changes that felt like breaths of fresh air in a franchise that's been more or less the same for 35+ years. It's funny, heartfelt and the most like a family they've ever been imo, plus Rise had the genius idea to make the turtles different species for once. I really wish people were more open to the series prior to the movie, but if the movie is what it takes for some to finally stop treating Rise like the worst thing that's happened to TMNT (which is just objectively not true given it's history), I'll take it as a win. (Also as a black TMNT fan, Rise April is the first time I've ever felt represented in this franchise and is the best version of the character, it's not even a contest)

I was surprised when future Leo cursed, the turtles haven’t done that since the first 90’s film. I love that they Netflix gave them creative freedom. I’m in a group chat for RISE TMNT. The fandom actually found screenshots of several scenes with blood in them during the final fight. There was a twitch chat with the writers, cast and crew. And there was a lot cut for this movie. They shared a lot of art concept for the movie, And get this the original future opening was 10 minutes long! And like you said, Nickelodeon was very controlling on what the studio wanted and Not what the Producers, Crew etc wanted. We learned a lot of what was supposed to happen in season 2 going into season 3. They even shared an animated cut scene Of Raph and Leo having a conversation revealed near the end that Raph Never Wanted to be the leader, he’s the oldest, it was his responsibility to look out for his brothers and that he was proud of Leo. But the show and movie is trending like crazy. The Cast and Crew Are hinting that the show may come back better than ever. I’m excited.

I loved this movie. As a 37 yr old fan, this thing had all of the heart, just enough humor and a ton of action. The plot centering around Leonardo's arc adds a character study layer that is never present in TMNT movies, but shines here. I never watched the series, but I can't say enough about this movie. The super powers aspect really fit in this version given the world this is set in. It shows how versatile TMNT is as a property. -Tof

I watched this movie at least 10 times now and cried every time. THE ANIMATION IS SO FREAKING GOD-TIER!!!!!! The show so underrated and deserves more love than it got. It’s called “Rise” for a reason, these Turtles are growing up into.. well… you know, “Heroes In A Half Shell!” Leo really got on my nerves in the first half of the movie, it felt like all of his character development from the show, which he got a ton of, got thrown away and he had to get all of his development back.

Rise is finally getting the positive attention it deserves :D

The final fight with krang and the turtles have no right to be that good like my God it was beautiful
