TMNT - Chrome Alone 2 - Lost in New Jersey | Paramount Pictures
Update (1/26/26): COWABUNGA! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey is now available to stream on Paramount+, under the Extra Features tab of TMNT: Mutant Mayhem! Get started at ParamountPlus.com.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey, directed by Kent Seki, takes the beloved characters out of their comfort zone and drops them into an unlikely setting. Mixing slapstick humor, gritty animation and unexpected heart, the short film follows the turtles as they attempt to navigate the Garden State after a mishap sends them far from their New York roots.
The animated short film’s premise adds a twist of intrigue: When a mysterious toy company exploits the turtles’ newfound fame with the Tubular Tortoise Karate Warriors, the brothers follow the clues to New Jersey, where they stumble upon a shocking discovery.
“We wanted to honor the Ninja Turtles’ history while asking what would happen if we put them somewhere completely unfamiliar,” Seki told Variety. “New Jersey became the perfect backdrop because it’s so close to New York, yet has its own energy and quirks that challenge the turtles in new ways.”
At its core, Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey continues the franchise’s tradition of balancing martial arts action with outlandish comedy. Seki said the tone intentionally recalls the chaotic spirit of 1990s family movies while still appealing to a modern audience.
“I grew up loving both Home Alone and the Ninja Turtles, and this project became a way to smash those influences together,” he said. “The turtles are constantly in survival mode — but here, survival means figuring out the Jersey Turnpike.”
Seki, who has worked across both live action and animation, said directing a TMNT short allowed him to infuse personal touches while respecting the loyal fan base. “Whenever you work with characters as iconic as the turtles, you have to give fans the personalities they love — Leonardo’s discipline, Michelangelo’s humor, Donatello’s tech obsession, Raphael’s temper — but then ask, ‘How do we surprise people?’ For me, the surprise came from the setting and the way we used the animation style to heighten those contrasts.”
The animation combines stylized character design with photorealistic backgrounds, creating a world that feels both heightened and lived in. Seki credits his team of artists with pushing the medium forward: “It was about making the turtles pop against an environment that feels almost too real, so every pizza slice and sewer lid becomes a character in its own right.”
Chrome Alone 2 is already making a bit of history. The film has been selected for Variety’sPixels and Pencils, becoming the first animated short to be invited to the panel. The program highlights the year’s most innovative animated films, culminating in a directors roundtable discussion.
Though Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey is a short film, Seki hints it may serve as a springboard for more stories that push the turtles into unexpected corners of the world. “I think audiences are hungry for new ways to experience these characters,” he said. “We’ll always love seeing them in New York, but throwing them somewhere unexpected opens the door to new humor, new stakes and new visual possibilities. If people connect with this one, I’d love to keep exploring that.”
With its inventive visuals, offbeat humor and affectionate nods to the franchise’s lore, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey is poised to carve its own place in the turtles’ history — even if it has to take the long way back to New York to get there.
Fans can see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey in theaters from Friday, December 19, where it'll play with The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey’ Director Unmasks the Half-Shell Heroes’ New Animated Short

This article was written for the
January ’26 issue of Animation Magazine (No. 355).
The success of the pizza-loving dudes’ 2024 movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem provided a unique opportunity for its director, Kent Seki, to step into the director’s chair for a new short, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey. (If you’re wondering how you missed Chrome Alone 1, don’t worry — there isn’t one.)
The short finds Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael shopping for a Christmas gift for their mentor, Splinter, when they come across some really shoddy bootleg Turtles toys. They track down the maker of the toys to a New Jersey factory and come face-to-face with Chrome Dome, an AI machine that has incorporated into its identity just about every comic-book origin story under the sun.
Seki had always been a fan of the Turtles franchise. “I collected the comic in 1984,” he says. “I was a huge Frank Miller fan at the time, and I couldn’t believe that somebody was doing a parody of Frank Miller, and I loved that comic.”
Perhaps the most AI-like aspect of the story is the villain’s hilarious backstory, which Seki describes as “the amalgamation of a lot of backstories and the worst version of every backstory.”
But that solution came somewhat late in production, Seki says. “We actually had a different version of it for most of the movie,” he says. “There was a character named Archibald Mirthmaker … who was the toy company founder who created Chrome Dome, first as a computer, almost like he was Steve Jobs. He wore a black turtleneck and glasses, and then he changed and converted into a robot.”

Bad Robot!
But something about it wasn’t right, and it was executive producer Ramsay McBean who suggested trying a funnier approach. “What if we made the backstory like as if he was an AI, a robot made it up using AI? And I thought that was a great idea,” Seki says.
Writer Andrew Joustra ran with the idea, with the storyboard artists taking it to another level and art director Garrett Lee incorporating it into the character’s look.
“We were going to do these vector-line graphics for his face, because it was based on old-school video games like Asteroids or Tempest from Atari,” Seki says. “It was Tiffany Lam, the production designer from the feature … We asked her, ‘What do you think of AI art?’ And she said there’s one word that comes to mind: tacky. And that became a driving factor.”
Inspirations included Terry Gilliam’s classic Monty Python cutout animation, modernized with 8-bit graphics like you remember from old Nintendo games. “It was a collective thing that happened, and that’s a great example of how the theme of AI brought us together to make something that was comedic and yet said something about the thing we were talking about,” Seki says.
The look of the short builds off Mutant Mayhem. Seki says they were looking at teenage art — the kind of stuff everyone drew in high school. “That was really driven by the production designer, Yashar Kassai, as well as Tiffany Lam, the art director, and Arthur Fong, the other art director,” he says. “We were building upon that, and in order to build upon that, we had to develop new shaders and tools to do Chrome Dome and to do metallic surfaces.”
“This is, again, that reaction to AI … How do we make the unconventional choice that relies more on the human eye than the computer tool to do what we want it to do?” — Director Kent Seki
Seki was going for a more organic look, relying upon Mikros Animation’s VFX supervisor, Matthieu Rouxel. “He’s like a magician … who came up with methods to make the CG look like a hand-drawn and hand-rendered reflection, with highlights that crawl across the surface of these metal things.”
He also compliments digital matte paint supervisor Arnaud Philippe-Giraux, who came up with the idea of using Grease Pencil in Blender to hand-draw crowds they couldn’t afford to render in CG.
“And this is, again, that reaction to AI,” Seki says. “How do we make the unconventional choice that relies more on the human eye than the computer tool to do what we want it to do?”
Seki says he’s pleased with the final film, which was well received at a recent screening at SCAD. “The main thing for me was [that] we turned it into a celebration of human creativity,” he says. “I think that’s one reason why the short is resonating with so many people.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 — Lost in New Jersey plays with Paramount’s The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants in theaters beginning December 19.

Universal Destinations & Experiences announced the attractions, shows, food & beverage and merchandise experiences that will be featured in the all new Universal Kids Resort – a regional theme park specifically designed for families with young children. The theme park will open in 2026 in Frisco, Texas.
Universal Kids Resort will feature seven themed lands including DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp, Jurassic World Adventure Camp, Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom, Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, DreamWorks’ TrollsFest, DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar and the Isle of Curiosity.
“When creating Universal Kids Resort, we leaned into that childlike curiosity and invited play to be our guide,” said Molly Murphy, President of Universal Creative. “Every detail was designed through a child’s eyes from signs at their height to colors that invite them in. The result is a park that celebrates the joy of being a kid — where imagination isn’t just encouraged, it’s embedded in every attraction, space, and experience.”
Jurassic World Adventure Camp
At Jurassic World Adventure Camp, the curious Ankylosaurus, Bumpy, has gone missing, so families will zoom through twists, turns, peaks and valleys on Jurassic World: Cretaceous Coaster to help find her. Mr. DNA’s Double Helix Spin will take families on a twisting and turning journey. Kids and their grown-ups can also enjoy the Pteranodrop, an exciting ride that gives brave adventurers a bird’s eye view of the park from high above.
The Jurassic World Canteen will help tame T. rex-sized appetites for carnivores and herbivores alike. Jurassic World Outfitters will offer families the chance to gear up for some dinosaur-sized adventures with toys, accessories and more. From meeting a newly hatched baby dinosaur to climbing up the Jurassic World Lookout Towers play area or having fun at Paddock Play, kids and their grown-ups will have many ways to explore.
Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom
Jellyfish Fields Jamboree will be a vibrant attraction where kids and their families hop aboard their very own Jelly Angler to bounce around with the one and only SpongeBob SquarePants. Barnacle Bus will showcase Bikini Bottom’s sights and residents while Bobbing Barrels will feature water cannons for families to blast water at each other as they spin around. Of course, no day would be complete in Bikini Bottom without a boating lesson, so Mrs. Puff’s Boating School will have the class taking a spin through her specially designed course.
Then for hungry Bikini Bottom visitors, Goofy Goober’s will offer guests chicken sandwiches, salads, hot dogs and sky-high sundaes. A sunken wooden treasure chest will be the home of Barg’N-Mart for all the nautical nonsense anyone could wish for, including sunny day apparel, toys, plush and more. With opportunities to meet SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks, explore Mussel Beach for some rest and more, it’ll be the best day ever.
DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp
The attraction Shrek & Fiona’s Happily Ogre After will take kids and their families on a special ride through the story of how Shrek met Fiona. Built by Shrek for their triplets, families will ride along to relive the quest to rescue Princess Fiona, with help from Donkey of course.
For ogre-sized appetites, Shrek’s triplets’ favorite eats will be served at Swamp Snacks including the Shrekzel. For swamp apparel, accessories and plush for the whole family, Triplets Treasures will allow parents to shop for themselves along with matching and complementary outfits for their growing ogres. Kids and their grown-ups will also have a chance to meet Shrek and Fiona. Two interactive play areas, Shrek’s Swamp Rompin’ Stomp and Shrek’s Swamp Splash & Smash, will allow kids to stomp and/or splash away.
Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club
Next, guests step into the mayhem of a spirited water battle, full of unexpected surprises that only Illumination’s iconic Minions can deliver. Grab a water blaster and join the action.
A game of golf and a boat cruise are far from relaxing at the Minions Bello Bay Club. Find yourself in the splash zone on the Bello Bay Cruise as you witness the antics between the Yellow Minions and their Purple counterparts.
Then, take the wheel and hold on tight as the competition spins out of control at the Bello Bay Golf Cart Derby.
Choose your side with pride by visiting Bello Bay Boutique and fashion yourself with Team Yellow, Team Purple, and other themed merchandise. And after all that mischief, you can recharge at Bello Bay Bites with some tasty Minion-themed snacks. Capture the fun with photos at the Minion meet and greet, discover playful Minion moments, and experience surprising water features at Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club.
DreamWorks’ TrollsFest
For even more fun, kids and their families can move, giggle and groove at King Trollex Techno Dance Party, an indoor interactive experience, or lead sound check and learn dance moves at a Trolls-themed amphitheater stage show. They can also hop on board Rhonda’s TrollsFest Express to twist and turn through the festival grounds on an armadillo bus ride, and they can soar above TrollsFest on the colorful ride Hair in the Clouds, featuring a mix of flower-faced balloons.
Then for TrollsFest food, Trolls Eatz! will serve up a symphony of flavors in family-approved bites. BroZone Cones will offer ice cream from TrollsFest’s coolest boy band. To get ready to take center stage, Sparkle Shine Glitter Glow will offer the unique Troll-ify Me! experience, the ultimate Trolls makeover for kids’ and grown-ups’ hair to be in the clouds and their sparkles to be loud via headbands, apparel, make-up and more. For those looking for a more subtle look, Mr. Dinkles’ Market will feature colorful, concert-ready t-shirts, souvenirs and more. Families can also meet Poppy, Branch and the rest of the DreamWorks’ Trolls gang, and two interactive play areas, Poppy’s Playland and Trolls Critter Crawl, will offer good Trolls-fashioned fun.
DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar
Small heroes unite at DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar where Swings Over Del Mar will have guests flying high. Kids and their families can also enjoy Mama Luna’s Adopt a Kitty Day! where they’ll be able to see Puss in Boots in his greatest adventure yet as he returns to the village of Del Mar for a spectacularly silly puppet performance.
For small heroes’ appetites, Comidas y Leche will serve up Puss in Boots’ approved eats. Then, purr-fect apparel awaits in Mercado de Perrito while candies and treats will make Tienda de Dulces the sweetest spot in Del Mar. Families can also meet the fearless hero himself along with Mama Luna, Perrito and friends. In addition to the park’s many play areas, Universal Kids Resort will feature multiple sensory gardens designed to give children and families opportunities to pause, reset, and connect.
Isle of Curiosity
The Isle of Curiosity will serve as the gateway to the other themed lands at Universal Kids Resort. Gabby’s Cat-Tastic Dance Party! will allow kids and their families to boogie with Gabby from DreamWorks’ Gabby’s Dollhouse. Cakey’s Cupcakes will serve up a variety of cupcakes in chocolate, vanilla and rainbow while the Universal Kids Resort Café will be a colorful spot to fuel up whether it’s sitting down and relaxing or grabbing bites for the road. The flagship Universal Kids Resort Store will be the one-stop-shop for gearing up for the day or finding best-of-the best from each themed land and a variety of merch inspired by Gabby’s Dollhouse to dress the part for their meow-zing adventures ahead.
“Universal Kids Resort is a place where kids are accepted just as they are, free to dance, dream, and play without limits or judgment,” said Brian Robinson, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Universal Creative. “For many, it will be the first time the worlds they’ve only seen on screen come vividly to life — moments that ignite creativity, confidence, and joy. It celebrates all the best parts of being a kid, the laughter, the curiosity, the courage to be unapologetically yourself, and in doing so, invites a new generation into the incredible thrills of Universal.”
Universal Kids Resort Hotel
As a place to stay and relax just steps away from the park, Universal Kids Resort Hotel was designed with families in mind. Rooms will sleep up to five or six guests. Standard Queen, Deluxe Queen and Signature Queen rooms will each offer a twin-over-full bunk bed and a queen bed. Family suites will offer a king bed in a separate bedroom, a queen pullout sofa and a twin-over-twin bunk bed along with an eating area.
Curiosity Café will be a quick service restaurant offering hotel guests meals throughout the day. A full-service bar, outdoor pool, fitness room and a game room will round out the hotel amenities.
