I recently saw the new TMNT movie and I have to say I really liked it a lot. I didnāt grow up with the TMNT, so itās hard for me to say how accurate it is to the originals, but I thought the animation was phenomenal and the story itself was very solid too.
Iāve seen a lot of people praising the animation, so Iām not going to include too much detail on why I liked it (to avoid retreading too much ground), but I really liked how grounded and relatable everyoneās motivations were. Wanting to fit in and be a part of a community is such a quintessential human experience; and lashing out from fear of rejection is extremely relatable as well.
The humor seems aimed pretty solidly at millennials (based on the references made throughout the movie), and I was surprised how adult this kidsā movie was.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this movie; and after Barbenheimer last week, itās been a good week for movies for me

Since this seemed more adult to you, would you say itās inappropriate for a 6yo?

I think it should be OK. The movie was rated PG, though it feels like it rides the line with PG-13 a little. I saw the movie almost a week ago so I donāt remember exactly what made me think that at the time, but I was a little surprised by some of the musical cues (though my understanding is some of them are in the trailers). When I said it was adult, I just meant that it didnāt talk down to the audience in a way that would annoy adults
I personally didnāt find any of it particularly objectionable, but I might not be the right person to ask. This website seems to think 11+, but this is the first time Iāve looked at the site so Iām not sure how accurate their rating system is.

Thanks. I usually go to that site but theyāve been trying to force subscriptions so itās faded my usage. I think Iāll hold off watching with the kids for now.
