The untitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film is an upcoming computer-animated superhero film based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. It is the seventh theatrical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, as well as both the second reboot of the series, and to be animated following 2007's TMNT. Directed by Jeff Rowe, from a screenplay by Brendan O'Brien, the project is a co-production between Nickelodeon Animation Studio through their Nickelodeon Movies banner, Paramount Animation and Point Grey Pictures.
Four years after the release of the 2016 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, two reboots from the studio were announced. One is another live-action reboot that is written by Colin Jost and his brother with Michael Bay returning as producer, and the other is a CG animated film produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The Rogen-produced reboot was announced in June of 2020 by future Paramount Pictures CEO, Brian Robbins, with Rogen's take on the titular team putting the focus on the Teenage aspect of the Ninja Turtles.
It is scheduled to be released in the United States on 2023, by Paramount Pictures.

"As a lifelong fan of Ninja Turtles, weirdly the 'Teenage' part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was always the part that stuck out to me the most. And as someone who loves teenage movies, and who’s made a lot of teenage movies, and who literally got their start in their entire profession by writing a teenage movie, the idea of the kind of honing in on that element was really exciting to us. I mean, not disregarding the rest, but really using that as kind of a jumping-off point for the film."
On June 30, 2020, it was reported that Nickelodeon Animation Studio was developing a computer-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film for Paramount, marking the studio's first CG-theatrical production.[2] Jeff Rowe, best known for co-directing Sony Pictures Animation's The Mitchells vs. the Machines, is set to direct the film, with Brendan O'Brien writing the screenplay.[2] Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver will produce the film through their company, Point Grey Pictures, whom previously worked with O'Brien on Neighbors and its sequel Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.[2] Brian Robbins, the president of Nickelodeon, said that "adding Seth, Evan and James’ genius to the humor and action that’s already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property".[2] Rowe said that it is an "absolute pleasure" to direct the film, having been a fan of the franchise since childhood.[3] On August 4, 2020, while promoting for his film An American Pickle, Rogen said that the film will both feature elements from the franchise, of which he's been a lifelong fan, and "kind of hone in on" to elements from his previous teenager-centered movies.[1]
In June 2021, Rogen revealed a teaser image through his Twitter page, which contains school notes written by Leonardo, the movie's original release date and details within the image.[4] Later in October of that year, the film's working title was later revealed to be called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Chapter.[5] In February 2022, concept art was released featuring a first-look at the designs of the titular team.[6]
Casting[]
For the first time in the franchise's history, Rogen revealed that all four turtles will be voiced by actual teenagers, as opposed to adult actors, in order to keep the authenticity of the teenage element to the film.[7]
Animation[]
Work on the film's animation had already begun by September 2021.[8] Animation services will be provided by Mikros Image.[9] The film features a 2D-style CG animation similar to Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and inspired by sketch drawings Rowe drew on his school notebook as a teenager.[10] In a 2021 interview with Variety, the film's production designer, Yashar Kassai, elaborated on the project by saying, "you anchor yourself enough in the familiar elements of it so that it is easily recognizable but then you either add or enhance some of the existing charm of the franchise''.[11]
Release[]
The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 4, 2023, by Paramount Pictures,[12] having been pushed up a week early from its original release date2023.[13][14]
Future[]
In February 2022, at the ViacomCBS Investors Event, a number of spin-off films were announced to be in development. Each film will center around a villain in the franchise, with the projects being developed by Nickelodeon Animation for streaming exclusively released on Paramount+.[15] In June 2022, Robbins revealed that the reboot is the first installment of a potential franchise, after being impressed by Rogen's and Goldberg's love of the series.[16]
