Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first fully computer-animated TMNT film, produced by Imagi Animation Studios in Hong Kong with a budget of $34 million.
The film deliberately ignored the 2003 cartoon continuity to create a standalone 'ten years later' story, alienating fans who wanted closure on that timeline.
