Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a 2023 American computer-animated superhero film directed by Jeff Rowe (in his feature directorial debut), co-directed by Kyler Spears, and written by Rowe, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit. It is the seventh theatrical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film and stars the voices of Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon. The supporting ensemble voice cast includes Hannibal Buress, Rose Byrne, John Cena, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube, Natasia Demetriou, Ayo Edebiri, Giancarlo Esposito, Post Malone, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, and Maya Rudolph. In the film, after years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtles set out to be accepted as normal teenagers through acts of heroism. The brothers go on a hunt for a mysterious crime syndicate, but trouble arises when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.

Nickelodeon announced Mutant Mayhem in June 2020, with Rogen, Goldberg, and James Weaver producing under their Point Grey Pictures banner, and Rowe as director. Spears joined as co-director soon after. The animation was provided by Mikros Animation in Montreal and Paris and Cinesite in Vancouver and was primarily influenced by school notebook sketches. Seeking to explore the teenage aspect of the Turtles, the filmmakers drew inspiration from teenage coming-of-age films. The majority of the cast was announced in March 2023, with the Turtles voiced by teenage actors (Abbey, Brown, Cantu, and Noon) for the first time. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross composed the musical score.

Mutant Mayhem was screened as a work-in-progress at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 12, 2023, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 2, by Paramount Pictures.

Premise

After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out on a quest to be accepted as normal teenagers by the people of New York City through acts of heroism. With the aid of their new friend April O'Neil, the brothers go on a hunt for a mysterious crime syndicate, but trouble arises when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.[1]

Voice cast

The following order of the cast, sorted alphabetically by last name:

The character Scumbug, a mutant insect, appears in the film where he is credited under "himself".[3] David Hayter has an undisclosed role in the film.[4]

Production

Development

Following Ramsey Naito's appointment at Nickelodeon in 2018, she and Brian Robbins discussed who to bring onto the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Seth Rogen was decided upon, and Jeff Rowe joined the project soon after; both were big Turtles fans.[5] In June 2020, Deadline Hollywood reported that Nickelodeon Animation Studio was developing a computer-animated Turtles film for Paramount Pictures. The film marks Nickelodeon Animation's first CG-animated theatrical production. Rowe was announced as director, with Brendan O'Brien writing the screenplay, and Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver producing through their production company, Point Grey Pictures. Naito and Josh Fagen were overseeing production for Nickelodeon and Point Grey, respectively.[6]

In an August 2020 interview with Collider, Rogen said that the film would heavily lean into the teenage element of Turtles. He stated: "As a lifelong fan of Ninja Turtles, weirdly the 'Teenage' part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was always the part that stuck out to me the most. And as someone who loves teenage movies, and who’s made a lot of teenage movies, and who literally got their start in their entire profession by writing a teenage movie, the idea of kind of honing in on that element was really exciting to us. I mean, not disregarding the rest, but really using that as kind of a jumping-off point for the film."[7]

In June 2021, Rogen revealed a teaser image through his Twitter page, which contained school notes written by Leonardo, the film's original release date, and other details.[8] By October 2021, the film was under the working title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Chapter. Production designer, Yashar Kassai, elaborated on the project: "You anchor yourself enough in the familiar elements of it so that it is easily recognizable, but then you either add to or enhance some of the existing charm of the franchise."[9] The title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem had been finalized by August 2022.[10] Kyler Spears had joined the feature as co-director by that point.[11] J.J. Villard, creator of King Star King, was commissioned to design the film's logo.[12]

Writing

Ultimately, Rogen, Goldberg, and Rowe, along with writing team Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, received "screenplay by" credit.[13] Rogen and Rowe wanted the film to emphasize the teenage aspect of the Turtles.[5] Rowe compared Mutant Mayhem to the coming-of-age films Stand by Me (1986) and Lady Bird (2017) and remarked that his goal was to make "the ultimate teenage coming-of-age film." He described the Turtles as having "a lot of that inauthentic confidence that teenagers have", adding that "when you’re a teen, you don’t know any better, so you operate with this hyped-up sense of, ‘We can do anything!’"[14]

The writers wanted to create their own version of Turtles lore and didn't take all elements from previous iterations into account. Rowe explained that they aimed "to make it more logical", and skated past a lot of things "to make it really operate from a place of character and relatability".[15] Rowe cited his admiration for the classic Turtles toys as the reason why a lot of mutant characters were written into the film.[16]

Casting

On March 4, 2023, during the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Rogen revealed that actors Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon (all of whom were in attendance) had been cast in the voice roles of the Turtles: Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael respectively. Other cast members revealed in their respective roles in the ceremony were Rogen himself, Hannibal Buress, Rose Byrne, John Cena, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube, Natasia Demetriou, Ayo Edebiri, Giancarlo Esposito, Post Malone, Paul Rudd, and Maya Rudolph.[17][18]

Abbey, Brown, Cantu, and Noon are the first teenage actors to portray the Turtles.[19] Rogen initially stated that they would cast teenagers for the parts in June 2021.[20] He felt that the decision made Mutant Mayhem stand out from previous versions of Turtles: "something very intuitive became something that really opened up our version; it feels like it makes it feel very unique. Things like that, I think, are exciting ways to get into this stuff."[21]

On June 26th, 2023, actor David Hayter revealed he has a role in Mutant Mayhem.[22]

Voice recording

In contrast to the norm for animation, the cast recorded their voice roles together in groups rather than independently from one another. A single recording session could include up to seven actors. This environment allowed for the cast to play off each other as well as employ a lot of improvisation in their performances.[23] Rogen was partly influenced to apply this approach to Mutant Mayhem from his experience recording The Lion King (2019) with Donald Glover and Billy Eichner. He described the process as follows:

For every session, we lumped people together. So every time the four turtles were recorded, they were together. I and John Cena were Bebop and Rocksteady, and we recorded together. Ice Cube has a bunch of scenes with the kids, and they are recorded together. So we really went out of our way and bent over backward on Ninja Turtles to try to capture that improvisational energy that you get when a lot of people are in the same place at the same time.[24]

Rogen directed particular praise towards Abbey, Brown, Cantu, and Noon and said that they tried to "capture the way they actually interacted with each other" in the film. He recalled an account of one recording session with the quartet and how "they would all hang out together in the kitchen of the recording studio, and they would all just talk over each other and make fun of each other; screaming at each other." According to him, the event was what pushed them to start having the four record together, as he felt that the energy was right for the film.[23]

Animation and design

The film was animated by Mikros Animation in Montreal and Paris,[25][26] and Cinesite in Vancouver.[11][26] According to executive producer Ramsay McBean, there were about 120 artists working on the film across the three studios.[27] Like with his previous outing, The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021), Rowe wanted Mutant Mayhem to look different from what was expected from an animated film. The director's aim was to make it heavily resemble the concept art.[28] He was inspired by sketches he made in school notebooks as a teenager and how they tend to have a lot of exaggerated features, spikes, and random effects lines, and wanted the film's animation to reflect a similar feeling.[29]

Music

According to Rogen, Rowe likened the soundtrack to that of the Tony Hawk's video game series and said it would incorporate songs from the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999). He described it as a "random assortment of music" that fits together well and shares the "same energy and spirit".[30] In May, it was announced that the score will be composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, with Gabe Hilfer as music supervisor.[31]

Marketing

Rowe discussed the film at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2022, where a brief bit of animation was shown. Rafael Motamayor of /Film compared the film's visual aesthetic to Arcane, both having a "punk" style that he described as fun.[29] To accompany the title announcement in August 2022, a mural promoting the film went up in New York City.[32] In December 2022, PeaTos and Paramount Consumer Products announced that PeaTos' Crunchy Pizza Rings would feature Mutant Mayhem branding in a promotion timed to the film's release.[33]

Along with the cast announcement, a sneak peek was shown at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on March 4, 2023.[34] Sixteen promotional images featuring logo artwork for each of the film's main characters were shared on social media.[35] A teaser trailer was released online on March 6, set to A Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It?".[36] Charles Pulliam-Moore at The Verge gave the trailer a positive review and called the animation "gorgeous," highlighting its "sketch-like art direction and the gritty / grimy texturedness."[37] Writing for The Escapist, Matthew Razak similarly praised the trailer and noted the Turtles' more youthful nature compared to previous portrayals, commenting, "These Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actually sound and look like teenagers."[38] Extended footage from the film was shown at CinemaCon on April 27.[13] The A.V. Club spoke positively of it for its humor, animation, and voice performances.[39] An official full-length trailer was released on May 31. Gizmodo's James Whitbrook called it "absolutely stunning visually" and appreciated that the trailer gave "a little more downtime with the Turtles and their yearning for a life a little more normal than the one provided by being a mutant ninja teen."[40]

Pizza Hut announced a new advertising campaign for Mutant Mayhem on June 21, including underground deliveries in a New York City subway station, an augmented reality (AR) mobile game, pizza boxes themed to the film, and television advertisements.[41][42] A line of action figures, vehicles, and role-play toys by Playmates Toys was released on June 25.[43] Funko released a lineup of collectible figures based on characters from the film on June 28.[44] An official Roblox video game developed by Gamefam is set to release alongside the film.[45]

Release

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was screened as a work in progress at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 12, 2023.[46][47] According to TheWrap, the cut shown had "just a few scenes of rough animation but was otherwise complete", including the score. At the end of the screening, the film received a six-minute standing ovation, with audience and social media reactions reportedly being positive.[48] Mutant Mayhem is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on August 2.[49] It was originally scheduled for release on August 11, but was later pushed a week forward to August 4,[50] before being pushed forward again by two days to its current date.[49]

Future

In June 2022, Robbins said that there were plans for multiple animated Turtles films.[51]
