Among us coloring pages11/14/2023 It’s difficult to pick a favorite moment, whether it be a slapstick scuffle in a mechanic’s garage, a brutal interrogation montage or the final kaiju battle in Times Square. “Mutant Mayhem’s” storyline may be a bit thin and rushed at times, but it allows for some truly fantastic action sequences. Finally, Chan as the turtles’ rat mentor/father figure, Splinter, is possibly the funniest character in the film bringing a true “dad energy” to each scene he is in. Edebiri’s April is relatable and realistic as an anxious journalist determined to be something more. Ice Cube brings a perfect balance of menace and humor to his character, walking a fine line many can’t achieve. The other actors that stood out were Ice Cube as Superfly, Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil, and Jackie Chan as Splinter. There were definitely a few times I wish the director had yelled “CUT!” That being said, the movie is often laugh out loud funny, especially with some edgier jokes that seemed to slip through the censors. On the more negative side, sometimes the jokes or usage of “modern lingo” from the turtles becomes grating and at times even cringe-worthy. Each actor does a great job making their turtle distinct beyond the obvious characteristics each turtle has been assigned. On the positive side, the relationship between the four brothers shined and you really felt the chemistry between them. This unique animation style is incredibly refreshing and a pure delight to watch in movement on the screen.Ī big selling point of this new adaptation was how actual teenagers were voicing the titular turtles. The distinct style continues into the actions with explosions, fire or slime are often represented by squiggly lines that look straight out of a child’s coloring book. Each mutant and human has their own unique and funky look. The film is almost entirely free of a single clean line, with most objects and settings having skewed edges or lines that look like they’ve been drawn over a few times. Where it takes it a step forward is how the animators chose to style this “hand-drawn effect.” Choosing a far more rugged and “sketch-like” design. Following in the footsteps of the “Spiderverse” series and “ Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”, “Mutant Mayhem” creates a hand-drawn effect with is’s computer-generated animation and plays with its framerate to create a dynamic sense of action. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the film is its exceptional animation. In “Mutant Mayhem” the turtle brothers Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello devise a plan to defeat criminal mutant Superfly in order to win the love of humans and join the real world, leaving their secret dwelling of the sewers. The franchise has spanned almost 40 years, including eight film adaptations. In the newest adaptation, “ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Mayhem” writer Seth Rogen has brought the turtles back to animation with a few modern twists. The characters would explode in popularity a few years later when the comics were adapted as a Saturday morning cartoon, which is how we know them today. They also happened to be 15-year-old, humanoid turtles that lived in the sewer. To me, there are few things that are as apparent products of the 1980s such as the “ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Originating as a comic in 1984, the series followed four skilled martial artists fighting crime in New York City’s shadows.
