The Writers Guild are not calling for a boycott on coverage of their work. Skwigly stands with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annecy 2023 saw a work-in-progress screening of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> met with a standing ovation. The footage, a mix between completed animation and unrendered CG, promised a charming journey with the ninja turtles while showcasing the painterly, off-kilter art style that was met with an outpouring of praise upon the release of the film\u2019s trailer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mutant Mayhem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is yet another example of mainstream animation moving away from hyper-realistic, ultra-clean showcases of the power of CGI, towards an art form that celebrates the medium\u2019s origins. Hand drawn scribbles and brush strokes encompass clay-like CG models. Expectations of what a background, a building, a face can look like are thrown out the window with this wonderfully misshapen art style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was the biggest fan of Nickelodeon and the things like <i>Rugrats<\/i> and <i>CatDog<\/i> and <i>Angry Beavers<\/i>,\u201d director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/tag\/jeff-rowe\/\">Jeff Rowe<\/a> told Skwigly. \u201cSo many of those shows look crazy. They look so weird. Tommy Pickles, I think some people could argue, is an ugly character design. I think it&#8217;s beautiful. I think it&#8217;s an amazing character design. But there&#8217;s something about playing with that vocabulary and letting things be bold and letting things be weird that really served the story and these imperfect impoverished characters.\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mutant Mayhem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a continuation of Nickelodeon history while being a representation of the metamorphosis of teenage years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the film\u2019s producers, Ramsay McBean, worked on the side of animation vendor Mikros, who Nickelodeon hired to help on the film. McBean carried with him a passion for artistry which matched that of Rowe, their goal of having a unique-looking film aligning. \u201cI know that the team that Mikros, we all had the attitude of like, \u2018you give us a painting, we&#8217;re going to make your painting move,\u2019 like, we&#8217;re not going to try and like make it look like the CG version of your painting, we&#8217;re going to make your painting.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That ability to stay true to the intent of the original artist allowed for a harmonious production between Ramsay\u2019s team at Mikros and the team assembled by Rowe, which included alumni from his co-directing effort, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/tag\/the-mitchells-vs-the-machines\/\"><em>The Mitchells vs. The Machines<\/em><\/a>. Rowe spoke about becoming more confident after his experience on <i>Mitchells<\/i>, \u201cI think on <i>Mitchells<\/i>, we were a little bit timid because we [Rowe and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/the-mitchells-vs-the-machines-review-director-interview\/\">Mike Rianda<\/a>] were first time directors. We were like, \u2018Are we sure we wanna put a line around these characters?\u2019 going into this film, I was like, \u2018there will be lines on the characters, there&#8217;ll be lines around the characters, I&#8217;m not going to ask permission.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47312\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/TMNT-watermelon.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47312\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/TMNT-watermelon-600x313.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-47312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Paramount Pictures &amp; Nickelodeon<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The desire to separate themselves from the animation norm was a priority for all members of the team. Achieving this in the art style is one thing, but McBean and Rowe wanted to redefine the way in which a big, mainstream animated story could be told. \u201cThe opening of the movie kind of sets the audience into a place of like, \u2018oh, this is not the movie I thought I was going to see.\u2019 And it&#8217;s always fun to watch an audience transition from the opening, to meeting the turtles, to then realising the balance of the film, because we&#8217;re really trying to push the storytelling and the cinematic language used in animation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That opening of the film features five minutes of action, without the jokes and dynamics one would expect from seeing the trailer. Rowe bet on audiences being engaged with the conflict of the story first and foremost, rather than throwing the turtles front and centre from the start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When comedic elements are introduced, even they fall outside of the standards of mainstream animation. \u201cWhen you make animated studio films, they always tell you that you gotta have a lot of physical comedy because that&#8217;s what makes movies popular internationally,\u201d explains Rowe. \u201cWe tried to lean away from that, we tried to get comedy out of characters and their interactions and just the things that they say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47314\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/TMNT-car.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47314\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/TMNT-car-600x326.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"326\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-47314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Paramount Pictures &amp; Nickelodeon<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being unique is to be celebrated, but the filmmakers also owed it to the movie to do justice for the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This was achieved by actually making them teenagers. Comedy is derived from their turns of phrases, their constant talking over each other and general silliness. The move from physical comedy to finding comedy in dialogue was a genius choice for this cast of characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing the film had to deliver on was action, but Rowe was keen to keep the fight scenes grounded in the identities of the turtles. \u201cThe moment these teen characters that we&#8217;ve put so much work into being relatable to the audience start flipping up buildings and doing things that break the laws of physics, that\u2019s the moment I disengage as an audience member.\u201d The film lets loose on action with side characters like Superfly and, of course, Master Splinter. Being voiced by Jackie Chan, Splinter\u2019s fighting style reflects that of Chan\u2019s most famous work, taking advantage of the environment for more creative choreography.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90s hip-hop plays a big role in the feel and atmosphere of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mutant Mayhem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, bringing dusty boom-bap to this wonky, grimy world of mutants brings the piece together. The use of A Tribe Called Quest\u2019s \u201cCan I Kick It?\u201d in the marketing of the film is a great indicator for what the tone of the film is while paying homage to the era in which the Turtles came to prominence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47315\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/TMNT-april.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47315\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/TMNT-april-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-47315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Paramount Pictures &amp; Nickelodeon<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s definitely a contemporary film, we needed it to be a contemporary film, but so much of my nostalgia with the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ninja Turtles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is wrapped up in the 80s and 90s,\u201d says Rowe. \u201cThat generation of music, Spike Lee films, being a kid and going to the Burger King Kids Club, the way that things looked and felt and it was like a nice way to evoke that era without the film explicitly having to take place there.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mutant Mayhem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> represents a landmark for fans of the <i>Ninja Turtles<\/i> franchise.
