If an Original Cartoon movie was made at the time?

It would just be like the old GI Joe movie, relatively slick looking but narrative trash.

Not really, I'm open to reading criticism as well. a FW tmnt theatrical movie of a Disney budget may have not been realistic due to Mirage having the rights to movie etc. etc., but this is a hypothetical situation, so I'm not focusing on whether it could've been done but how it would've gone down if it was done.

I was thinking that it would a little been better recieved than the 1990 film (due to people more likely to tolerate the concept and references in an animated rather than live action) but might've struggled at the Box Office due to the serious competition out there like the Little Mermaid and Beauty and The Beast. So I think it would've been overall modestly recieved, not a complete failure due to the popularity of the turtles but not a gamebreaking blockbuster either which would go as far as to be nominated for Best Picture like Beauty and the Beast.
