TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze
This sequel amplifies the action and comedy, as the turtles confront their past, learn from Splinter, and face an evolved Shredder—who harnesses the mysterious ooze to mutate his own henchmen, Tokka (a large snapping turtle) and Rahzar (a mutated wolf). Though lighter and more kid-friendly than the original, it celebrates teamwork, self-acceptance, and the enduring fight for New York’s safety.
TMNT (1990)
The gritty first movie set the stage for the turtle team’s dynamic, exploring their family bonds and rivalry with Shredder and the Foot Clan. Its runaway success ($135M at the US box office) proved the franchise’s mass appeal.
TMNT III
The third entry saw our heroes travel back in time, blending martial arts action with historical adventure. While less iconic, it remains a touchstone for loyal fans.

Fathom Entertainment, alongside Warner Bros. and Saga Arts, aims to bring a full-circle celebration for the generations that grew up with the turtle phenomenon.
