13. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may not get the attention it deserves from the wider TMNT fanbase simply because its breaks from the traditional turtle formula too much for some fans to bear. But those who found a home in the teenage ninja fandom through its energetic interpretations of the turtles and its sumptuous action were duly rewarded in this year’s Netflix movie farewell to the latest take on the heroes in a half-shell. A fitting epilogue to this version of the TMNT, everything in Rise’s movie is what’s great about the show on a bigger and better level: the same great heart and humor, the same incredible action, ramped up into a celebration of what made Rise so special in the first place. Check it out on Netflix.
