A rash of thefts by the city's adolescent community, cause the turtles to spring into action and lead them to an old enemy of their master. Shredder, the Evil leader of the New York branch of the foot clan is using the teens as pawns in his crime syndicate. Since death and mutilation aren't involved, very young children should not have any difficulty with these sequences, as long as their parents explain the difference between real and staged fighting. The cropped presentation lobs off some information from the sides of the frame, but the kids will never know the difference. Adults will find the wide screen presentation far more satisfying.
Colors reproduce with good saturation, but they too are restricted by the film's cinematography.
Digital compression artifacts were never really bothersome on either presentation. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a pleasing mix which features, atmosphere, good bass and directional effects. Other soundtrack options include a matrixed Dolby surround compatible track and a French language track. Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
