Rachel Summers and the Turtle boys get a real workout in this new Nickolodeon short. This is so much fun, but it’s more than that. The short was produced by two of the best animators living on this planet: Joe Ksander (Animation Director, 9) & Kevin R. Adams (Art Director, 9). Turtles, ninjas and Kraang equal up to one epic thrill ride through NYC.

The fluid animation style plays with character physics in exciting new ways, and blurs the line between CG and traditional animation. We know you’ll enjoy this beautifully crafted piece, and if you’re a TMNT fan, all the better.

Awesome! I have been a fan of the Turtles from the Eastman and Laird days of grim-dark black and white line art. Once I acclimated to the artwork, it played well with the characters and their subtle redesigns made them easy to distinguish and appreciate. This was a great video find.
