Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)
Co-written by Seth Rogan, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a surprisingly fun and effective cartoon feature, drawn in the kinetic, impressionistic style of the SpiderVerse movies and scored with a thumping mix of modern and classic pop standards.
