Is 2007 canon?
I was wondering this lately. It feels to me like 2007 movie is like a canon-crossroad.
Can't help but think that this movie can be a direct followup to the 4kids cartoon (which makes a lot of sense) but at the same time... it can work as continuation to the live action movies. ................................................<< <MOVIE TIMELINE>>> .............................................Teena ge Mutant Ninja Turtles .................................................. ..............V ............................................TMNT2: Secret of the Ooze .................................................. ..............V ...........................................Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III .................................................. ..............V TMNT > Fast Forward > Back to the Sewers >2007 > Turtles Forever <<<TV Timeline>>> Is it canon? To one or both?

I actually like thinking of it being in continuity with the Nick cartoon now. Aside from the minor discrepancy of Karai meeting the Turtles for the first time, it works well in the Nick universe given the designs and the older age of the main cast.
April in the 4th movie looks like an adult version of Nick's April and Leonardo's voice is almost identical in both. Raph, Mike and Don also seem like older versions of their Nick counterparts. |

I could've sworn that, in the movie, Leonardo shouted "Karai!" when she came into the scene with the Turtles for the first time.
And I was like "Ka...who?" But I really have to watch it again. And you're right, after the Nick show makes a lot of sense (so far)

When I said that I thought it was after the nick show, no one believed me.

The monsters in the 4th movie don't look all that different than the type of mutants the Turtles face either.
Since the Turtles are 18 or so in the movie and April is 20 something it works out well. |

with the movie tie-in comics the 2007 movie clearly isn't a part of the 4Kids series canon, nor the Nick show.
Since in the Leonardo comic we do see Leo meet the ancient one for the first time and it is completely different from the 4kids series and not to mention Leonardo didn't come home from his journey until the events of the movie. And in the Raph issue they fight Triceratons. it has its own canon spinning loosely from a very generic stand point of the TMNT lore that was back in 2007, it have some few live action movie easter eggs. The movie can easily be the latest installment of the live action canon instead of Next Mutation or just be it's own being. Last edited by Candy Kappa; 04-10-2013 at 03:59 PM. |

The film canon has two roads you can follow: 1) TMNT I => TMNT II => TMNT III => NT:TNM 2) TMNT I => TMNT II => TMNT III => TMNT (2007)

That'd mean Karai would have be an live action film
I think it'd be pretty cool if this was the case, Ralph/Leo's rivalry would be intense than it was in the previous live action films. Would add Karai in the picture and maybe once, just once Leo would actually be the main character in a live action film The past it was Ralph/Donnie some what Mikey. I'd like the next one to be about Leo since the others already got there time |

I always took it as its own TMNT continuity, in its own turtles universe cannon.
