I know what you’re thinking: the late Eighties comic-strip characters have been repackaged so many times. Why would anyone over the age of 10 – especially adults who shuddered through the dire 2014 live-action film and its sequel, willingly endure more turtle tat?
Quick answer: because famously irreverent producer/co-writer Seth Rogen knows what he’s doing. This New York-based cartoon (about a bunch of sewer reptiles transformed by a test-tube’s worth of bright-green slime) is peppy, anarchic, doesn’t talk down to teens, looks scrumdiddlyumptious, boasts an impeccably laconic soundtrack and gives us April O’Neil as we’ve never seen her before.
