TMNT - Official Summary
After the defeat of their old arch nemesis, The Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart as a family. Struggling to keep them together, their rat sensei, Master Splinter (Mako), becomes worried when strange things begin to brew in New York City. Tech-industrialist Max Winters (Patrick Stewart) is raising up an army of ancient monsters, and only one super-ninja fighting team can stop them—those heroes in a half shell—Leonardo (James Arnold Taylor), Michelangelo (Mikey Kelley), Donatello (Mitchell Whitfield) and Raphael (Nolan North)! With the help of old allies April O’Neil (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Casey Jones (Chris Evans), the Turtles are in for the fight of their lives as they once again must face the mysterious Foot Clan, who have put their own ninja skills behind Winters’ endeavors.TMNT - Interesting Facts
TMNT is the fourth movie in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series (the previous movie came out in 1993). The concept started out as a comic book which was published by Mirage Studios in 1984. The original artists came up with the Ninja Turtles and published the comic book to parody two other comics, but the idea turned into a huge success with a line of toys, an animated series, and now four theatrical releases.
