Turtles Forever: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's Take On The Multiverse

gamerant.com:

Everyone can name the big franchises that dominate the box office and are gradually becoming the only films big studios are interested in making. The MCU, the DCEU, Star Wars, and so on, but what about the franchises that are still huge and enduringly popular, but don't quite have the cash and prestige of those empires?

For whatever reason, the concept of the multiverse has become almost inescapable to anyone hoping to take in a movie over the next year or two. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is building the entirety of its next two phases on the concept, the Spider-Verse films beat them there with a perfect encapsulation, and even smaller teams are moved by it. However, one beloved brand beat them all there.

In 2003, the deeply controversial 4Kids Entertainment studio sought to bring back an icon of the 90s back to the small screen with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The most recent development in the franchise at the time was the poorly-received 1997 live-action series The Next Mutation. Producer Lloyd Goldfine was brought in as showrunner and the show aired on the beloved FoxBox programming block. Goldfine was a fan of the 80s comic book series, so he made a point of seeking the approval of the original creators. Though his series differed from the original Mirage Comics story in many large and small ways, the comic's co-creator Peter Laird personally approved the early scripts. The series was well-received, swiftly becoming the most popular cartoon of the era, and still cited by many fans as the finest hour of the franchise. Six years and seven seasons later, the time came to bring the series to a close, and the creators wanted to go out with a bang.
