Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back, but when I say back, that implies that they left, which they never did.

0:29.0

And what's different about this version is that it comes to you from Seth Rogan. So you can imagine like the tone of it being a lot funnier than usual.

The kids that play the turtles are like mid teens age and they also recorded the dialogue in the same room.

0:53.0

Oh, as opposed to just reading by themselves. Also, they could see each other's faces and react accordingly.
