The half-shell protagonists returned this summer in a never-before-seen form with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mutant Turtles. As fans eagerly await the return of their favorite characters to the big screen, director Geoff Rowe (Mitchells vs. Machines) in an exclusive interview with Empire magazine revealed the inspiration for the film, which will focus on the teenage aspect of the characters.
“We wanted it to be like Stay with me And Lady Bird. But, you know, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Rowe said to Empire. “They have a lot of that fake confidence that teenagers have: when you’re a teenager, you don’t know anything, so you act with that advertised feeling: ‘We can do anything!'” Mutant Mayhem can be a refreshing take on the characters from a new perspective, especially when other interpretations usually focus on their full ninja experience. Rowe further elaborated that Seth Rogen And Evan Goldbergthe producers’ roles helped shape the film through their background in teen comedies. “This is what [they] good at it,” Rowe said. “What Very bad when they’re best friends but they’re kind of misfits who make fun of each other but you never doubt for a second that they really love each other.”
In addition to Rowe’s commentary on the film, Empire also unveiled an all-new image from the film, showing the main characters posing against the backdrop of moonlight, ready to defend the city from crime. As in the trailer, the image fully showcases the hybrid animation style the film will follow, paying homage to the original comics on which the franchise is based, with details such as brush strokes bringing the animation to life with a sense of care and artistry. craft.

Now it seems that even Disney will use the experimental animation format with Wish, an upcoming film that will use both 2D and 3D animation to recreate the watercolor look.
