"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" delivers a fantastic iteration that stays true to its roots. The plot follows a familiar winning formula without any major twists, but the standout moments definitely come from the stunning visuals. Among the four Ninja Turtles, Leonardo's character shines the brightest, undergoing a complex journey from an initially reluctant leader to a respected one. The film's animation style takes a sidestep from the Spiderverse films, offering unique Picasso-Esque asymmetrical visuals that sets it apart from mainstream animations. A quirky observation noted by a friend was the potential connection between the asymmetry and villainy in the characters. Humor was captured well and not over the top, with references that bridge generations and memorable lines like "I’ll never get to see BTS IRL." The film's standout song, "What's Up/Fabulous Secret Powers," added an enjoyable touch to the experience.
