'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' Seems Like A True Seth Rogen Movie, But There Are 4 Ways It’s Giving 'Into The Spider-Verse' Vibes
  • 9 months ago
We’ve known about "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" for some time now, though not until recently have we started to get concrete details on the upcoming flick. After much anticipation, the first trailer for the Seth Rogen-produced feature was released, and it teases what appears to be a downright delightful movie. It exudes the unique tone that typically accompanies the "TMNT" franchise, but what’s really impressive is that Rogen’s creative touch feels present throughout. In addition though, one could also liken it to another animated flick – "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." And there are a few key ways that it’s giving off vibes that are similar to the Marvel movie’s.

It would be an understatement to say that Into the "Spider-Verse" was a success in 2018, as it received critical acclaim and went on to become the 2019 Oscar winner for Best Animated Feature. One could argue that in the years since its release, studios have been trying to step up their game when it comes to their animated fare. Based on the first bit of footage, it’s really hard not to get that sense from "Mutant Mayhem," which is directed by "The Mitchells vs. The Machines’" Jeff Rowe. So at the risk of rambling any further, let’s discuss how the teen ninja’s latest cinematic outing seems to mirror the beloved Spidey flick.
