Watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Storylines of various episodes are actually borrowed and taken from the original Mirage Studios comic books, making the new cartoon more like one of the original comic book storylines.
During many episodes of the first season, Leonardo's strap around his shoulder constantly disappears and reappears between shots(mostly when its his reflection)

The new TMNT is closer to the comics, but still complete with irrevent humor and fun. The series creators have definately made the series not only an ode to the comic book source, but seem to have made many other references to the comic books that doubtlessly influences Laird and Eastman.
The animation style is somewhere between Men in Black and Batman: The Animated Series, and while not as stylized as either of the two, is functional and adaquate. The action sequences are the main draw, when they are allowed to really gain momentum. There are a lot of twists and turns in this story, and it should appeal to fans of both the comic and 80's cartoon. The only problem I have with the series is when the cartoon takes a detour spanning 6+ episodes in the middle of a crucial storyline. Take my word for it: beware when the Turtles go into space. While chuck full of one or two Star Wars references, its frustrating to consider the forces at work for the rest of the storyline, on Earth, stopping while the Turtles are off fight outer-space triceratops. Overall, a good show, and the current highlight of my Saturday mornings. ***1/2

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an animated television series mainly set in New York City . The series is the first reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . The first episode aired on February 8, 2003 and ended on November 21, 2009 , and it marked FOX reviving the franchise as a Saturday morning series. They were assisted by 4Kids Entertainment . It was part of 4Kids TV (formerly known as the FOX Box) and also aired on series Network. The 2003 series was produced by 4Kids Entertainment and Mirage Studios , which owned a third of the rights to the show, and animated by Dong Woo Animation . The series migrated to The CW4Kids in its final season after 4Kids' contract with FOX ended. Viacom (parent company of Nickelodeon ) now owns the rights of this series and any future Turtles series, barring the future sale of the property.

In 2003, a new TMNT series produced by 4Kids Entertainment began airing on the "FoxBox" (later renamed "4Kids TV") programming block. It later moved to "The CW4Kids" block. The series was co-produced by Mirage Studios, and Mirage owned one-third of the rights to the series. Mirage's significant stake in creative control resulted in a cartoon that hews more closely to the original comics, creating a darker and mature tone than the 1987 cartoon. Like Batman: The Animated Series , the series is far more adult oriented than any TMNT series, while still being considered kid-friendly appropriate for younger audiences.

This series lasted until 2009, ending with a feature-length television movie titled Turtles Forever , which was produced in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the TMNTs franchise and featured the Turtles of the 2003 series teaming up with their counterparts from the 1987 series . 4Kidstv.com featured all the episodes of the series, until September of 2010 , when Nickelodeon brought the series and air the series occasionally on Nicktoons and Nickelodeon normally during TMNTs marathons.

Like its animated predecessor, the reboot proved to be popular with both audiences and critics, with millions of viewers on the 4Kids website. Unlike the 1987 series , this series is considered as the most faithful adaptation of the comic's Mirage roots . It is widely considered by fans as the most iconic modern representation of the TMNT characters and mythology, and also as among the most faithful animated series based on a comic book. This show is well known and held in high regard by the fans as arguably the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated show produced to date.

The series was announced in May 2002 , the series was produced by 4Kids Entertainment, and Mirage Studios, which co-owned rights to the show, and animated by Dong Woo Animation. The series migrated to The CW4Kids in its final season after 4Kids's contract with FOX ended. After buying the TMNT franchise in mid-October 2009, Nickelodeon now owns the rights to the 2003 series.

Before creating the current 2003 series, Mirage pitched an idea for a different series to Warner Bros. The series would be aired either on The WB or Cartoon Network . The style of the art from the proposal was more comical than the current show's style. Ultimately, Warner Bros. passed on the show, making way for the 2003 show on Fox. However Cartoon Network would also end up airing earlier episodes of the show. [1]

Early artwork shows the Turtles , Splinter , April O'Neil , and Casey Jones as the show's heroes. Among the villains are the Shredder , Baxter Stockman , and the Triceratons .

In the 2003 TV series the first five seasons, the four Turtles' personalities are in some ways different from the 1987 TV series in an attempt to follow the Mirage comics versions of the characters more closely. All the characters are more complex individuals and the Turtles also have a stronger family bond. The tone is also focusing on more serious, drama, darker and action.

Unlike the 1987 TV series, the 2003 series more closely matches the tone of the original comics, with a greater emphasis on action and themes of familial bonds. As a result, the 2003 series is more adult-oriented, while still being considered appropriate for younger audiences. The series adapts a large scope of story arcs from the comics, with the Turtles' adventures combining elements of both fantasy and science fiction. They also fight the Foot Clan led by Shredder as well as the Purple Dragons led by Hun and the mad scientist Baxter Stockman. Later seasons have the Turtles contending with Agent John Bishop of the Earth Protection Force. By the end of the third season, the Shredder is revealed to be an Utrom criminal named Ch'rell. Upon his defeat at the hands of the Turtles, Ch'rell is exiled to the ice asteroid Mor Gal Tal.

The show does not feature nearly as much slapstick comedy or heavy puns as its animated predecessor. The 2003 series also features stories with magical powers, usually absent from the earlier animated incarnation. Michelangelo is now the wise guy of the group. He is funny, cocky, lazy, and likes to pull pranks on his brothers. Raphael is a bit more grumpy (sometimes explosive). However, he's more tough talking, no nonsense at times, and has a soft spot when he interacts with kids. Leonardo is still the no nonsense leader. When he fails, he's very hard on himself. He could sometimes revert to drastic measures to accomplish something and his temper can rival or exceed even Raphael's. Donatello is still very intelligent but he is quieter than before. His inventions have better technology than ever before.

The series covers a large scope of the Turtles' adventures taking them from the sewers, to the streets of New York City and April O'Neil's apartment, to the woodlands of rural New England, to outer space, alternate realities, to Japan, to the past and to the future, through cyberspace and ultimately back home once more. The first several seasons focus on the Turtles' battles against the Shredder and the Foot as well as the Purple Dragons, while the later seasons branch out to include other antagonists. Thus, making the stories more character-based than the series that came before it.

Much of the fourth season focused on Leonardo, who became more bitter, reserved and isolated following the final episode of the previous season in which he, his brothers and their master were almost killed.

During the fourth season, Karai continues to lead the Foot Clan as a female Shredder, Hun turns the Purple Dragons into a crime syndicate, and Baxter Stockman works for Agent John Bishop's group. Towards the end of the fourth season, the series undergoes a format change as the Turtles would be recruited by the Ninja Tribunal to use new mystic abilities to combat another version of the Shredder where this one is labeled as the original Shredder before Ch'rell assumed his identity. Season five would be the last to use the original character designs and animation style with its plot concluding the series' main storyline.

In the fifth season The Turtles get mystic powers from the Ninja Tribunal from Japan, and face the Demon Shredder. It was originally intended to be the final season of the series, as its arc concluded the main series storyline; however, before it could even air, 4Kids tried to renew interest in the series with Fast Forward becoming the fifth season to air on commercial TV, while Mirage and its partners decided to finish production on the Season 5 episodes and release them directly to DVD.

The sixth season, subtitled "Fast Forward", would retool the series with a new art style and comedic tone. The season's plot focused on the Turtles being transported about 100 years into the future to the year 2105; where they meet and befriend Cody Jones, the great grandson of April and Casey. They must also contend with futurist enemies like Sh'Okanabo and his minion Viral as well as dealing with the activities of Cody's uncle Darius Dun.

Fast Forward's main story would conclude in the seventh and final season, subtitled "Back to the Sewer", while sporting another redesign for the entire cast inspired by the designs from the 2007 TMNT film. After returning to the present day, the Turtles must battle a cybernetic version of the Shredder which was the result of Viral merging with the data of the Utrom Shredder. There is also a running subplot centered on the wedding of April and Casey.

The Sixth and Seventh seasons of the series are lighter in tone and less violent than previous ones, with a new art style and a greater emphasis on comedy. The 2009 TV movie Turtles Forever serves as the finale to the 2003 series and centers around the Turtles encountering their 1987 animated counterparts , who have been transported to the 2003 Turtles' reality. To make matters worse, the 80's Shredder and Krang as well as their minions Bebop and Rocksteady free Ch'rell from his imprisonment as Hun and Karai realign themselves with Ch'rell.

During the show's run, the format was changed several times. The original run of the first four seasons kept the Turtles in their native New York facing the Utrom Shredder, the Federation /Triceratons, and Bishop. After the fourth season, the show received its first major format change in the " Ninja Tribunal " season.

This season focused on a new threat presented by another version of the Shredder said to be the original legendary villain Oroku Saki from feudal Japan. The Turtles were then asked by the Ninja Tribunal (a group of warriors who seek to combat the ancient, "Tengu" Shredder) to train alongside several human warriors to become strong enough to battle the Shredder. This involved the Turtles gaining new weapons, learning how to channel their chi into powerful projectiles, and finding their inner animal spirit. This season marked the end of the use of the original character designs and format.

This season featured a brand new direction as well as a completely redesigned look and feel. The season focused on the Turtles being transported 100 years into the future where they meet and befriend Cody Jones, a teenage descendant of April and Casey's. Cody runs a successful and influential technology company and is its sole heir. The newly formatted show saw a brighter tone than its predecessor, and focused on shorter story lines. Some of the previous show characters did return, however, including Bishop and Baxter Stockman.

This season was the last of the show's run. It featured yet another redesign for the entire cast and brought the Turtles back into present day New York. The season did feature some returning characters from the Fast Forward season. The main villain for the Turtles as they battle in a cybernetic reality is a cybernetic version of the Shredder, known as the Cyber Shredder .

Turtles Forever is a 2009 TV movie featuring the Turtles and effectively brings an end to the 2003 series. The movie features the revamped character designs from the Back to the Sewer season but without pupils. The story centers around the Turtles encountering their 1987 animated counterparts who were accidentally transported to the 2003 Turtles' universe. Both sets of Turtles face off against the villains from both series in an attempt to prevent the Utrom Shredd
