To celebrate the release of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which arrives on Paramount+ this week, we sat down with three of the famous quartet for a return trip to the world of Mutant Mayhem.
Set two months after the events of the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the series follows the Turtles as they navigate their dual lives as both teenagers and heroes in New York City. In the first story arc, the Turtles are separated while facing Bishop, a villain who plans to eliminate all mutants. They must deal with being alone for the first time and reunite to save mutant kind. In the second arc, the Turtles clash with a group of aquatic mutants known as the East River Three.
Chatting with Brady Noon (Raphael), Micah Abbey (Donatello), and Nicholas Cantu (Leonardo), we discuss the success of the animated film and how the last year of their lives have changed – for better or worse -, their love of the characters and their deep mythology, the art of voice acting and being allowed to grow up with the turtles, who they would love to see them face in the movie sequel, playing the characters when they get older and much more in-between.
