Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) series from the 1980s, the Turtles often broke the fourth wall, and talked directly to the audience. This wasn't the case however with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) series. This is made reference to in this movie, as the 1980s Turtles break the fourth wall several times. Until finally, Hun gets fed up and begins to violently shake the 1980s Raphael, while asking, "Why do you keep doing that?! Who are you talking to?! There's no one there!"
- GoofsIt's a bit odd that while the 80's Shredder finds the Utrom Shredder off-world simply by doing a scan, Krang is not found at all, even though an Utrom named Krang had a rather brief cameo during the run of the 2003 series.
- Quotes

1988 Michelangelo: All I know is we wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for your stupid Shredder.
Raphael: OUR Shredder? YOUR Shredder started this whole "stupid mess" with his stupid Technodrome in the stupid first place!
1988 Raphael: Yeah, but your Shredder's like totally psycho-evil.
1988 Donatello: Ours is just decaf.
1988 Leonardo: Yeah. He won't keep you up at night.
Casey Jones: ...Your doubles ain't exactly playing with a full deck, are they?
Michelangelo: And they're really annoying.
Casey Jones: Gotcha. Up to speed now.

Written by John Siegler and Lloyd Goldfine
Filled with fan service of all generations, from the Mirage Comics, the 80's TV-show, the then present TV-series on top of a solid plot of stopping the One True Shredder who despite his eternal exile to a lonely asteroid in outer space.
And even though the art style is style of the weaker side of the show, the animators' put in a lot of work to make each generation true to its respective tone and style with some surprised thrown in to finish it off.
This is a must see for every Turtle fan!
