The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles routinely go through a refresh every few years, whether it’s in comics, movies, or television. Recently, we’ve had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and its spinoff series, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which put emphasis on the “teenage” part of the equation. But one movie starring the Heroes in a Half-Shell has flown under the radar for years, and that’s 2007’s TMNT. TMNT was the first animated movie starring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and it boasted a star-studded cast, including Patrick Stewart, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chris Evans. Despite this pedigree and being an outright commercial success during its theatrical run, two factors stopped TMNT from getting a sequel.
