Remember in '07 when Imagi released the last cgi animated TMNT film and while okay it wasn't exactly a huge commercial hit?

Remember in '16 when Out of the Shadows was marketed very heavily to children and that was a huge commercial flop that nearly killed the franchise?

Why on earth does anyone think adding these two unsuccessful things together will add up to a hit???

Unless you're Pixar or a company that can ape their formula childrens cgi movies are never that big and every time TMNT goes kiddie in it's movies the series starts to fail. History shows what works and what doesn't for this franchise and they keep going for fails. Kinda like how Rise of the TMNT combined almost all the ill conceived ideas to modernise the franchise (roided up turtles, magic weapons, kewl new central enemy etc) and put all into one show.

This isn't the first time we've had a new turtle product that is said to put the emphasis on them being teenagers. It usually means we see them characterised as more childlike. I have little faith this will be different.
