I Had A Few Days Off Last Week So I Made This Little Animatic For Fun! Many Thank Yous To My Animation

I had a few days off last week so I made this little animatic for fun! Many thank yous to my animation pals for lending their voices. I was going to just have text instead, but being able to add sounds effects and voices was really fun! I hope all of my fellow Rise fans are doing okay this week, I know times are tough but there is always hope! Love to you all.

Okay it’s not exactly the same but you know how Red Eared Sliders sometimes ride of the back of Soft Shell Turtles?

It kind of reminds me of when we briefly saw that baby Leo used to like to sleep on baby Donnie’s shell

My favorite part of rottmnt as compared to other versions is that in every other version the turtles were created more or less by accident, but in Rise they’re intentionally created by the first major villain of the show for world domination, so even though they are rescued and become good guys, they are all still just a little tiny bit evil and it’s so much fun

I’ve seen a few people talk about Donnie’s expression in this scene & how shocked he is to see Leo angry & then I remembered this one scene from the Rise comics

Where Leo says he “can’t remember the last time he was truly angry” which makes me think what if /Donnie/ can’t remember the last time Leo was truly angry either.

I've never read or watched a single media of Usagi, but if anything were to happen to him, I will kill everyone in this room and then myself-

There’s a really cool reference to the original TMNT in Rise

Splinter: You will be remade into the image of your ancestors 

Splinter gives the Turtles ‘traditional Hamato clothing’ & they all start wearing red masks which is a reference to how the original TMNT all wore red masks giving another meaning to the ‘image of your ancestors’ line

But there’s another reference to the original TMNT in the fact that they show Leo in the new red mask first before showing the rest of his brothers

And the reason for that is because the original TMNT Turtles were all supposed to be Red Eared Sliders 

The reason that the original TMNT Turtles all wore red masks was actually supposed to be a reference to the fact that they were supposed to be Red Eared Slider Turtles.

So when Splinter ‘remakes the turtles in the image of their ancestors’ & gives them red masks as a nod to the original TMNT turtles, Leo is shown first because he’s a Red Eared Slider just like the original TMNT Turtles
