My son and I are actually big fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So much so that his 5th birthday party this weekend is going to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed (I’m not sure who is more excited about that), so you know we were happy about bring able to review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimate Showdown.



I myself was raised on the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons so it was like picking up right where we left off with the new series. The cartoon has the same awesome characters but with modern graphics and new story lines. I like the new Turtle gadgets that Donatello makes but my favorite character is Michelangelo, because he is just fun and makes me laugh. On the other hand, my son favors Leonardo, mostly because he loves blue, but I tend to think it’s because Leo is the leader. Pizza eating, bad-guy defeating, well-disciplined teenaged turtles…what’s not to like?

I know you will enjoy this series like my son and I did. It comes with 12 episodes and some cool special features
