Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles: Nickelodeon Premieres New TMNT Digital Series | First Look

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is back like you've never seen it before — here's a tease

They’re still mutants, they’re still ninjas, and they’re still turtles, but this time around, they’re not teenagers.

Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles is the latest animated outing of Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey and this time Nickelodeon Digital Studio will be focusing on their early years as ninjas-in-training, before they became heroes. The series debuts Friday, July 24 on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel with 30 four-minute episodes.

In advance of World Turtle Day (that's Saturday, May 23rd, of course), Nickelodeon has unveiled a first look at the upcoming series, including the first stills from the show, which you can check out below, courtesy of Polygon, and a video introducing the most adorable take ever on the Heroes in a Half-Shell.

The new logo, which makes a point to underline the “Teeny” part of the title and has a bright, chalky, kid-friendly look to it, has also been unveiled.

The rest of the stills all seem to be from the same adventure where the Teeny Turtles face off against a giant, sentient pizza. This might be the villain Pizza Face, who looked similar to this in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, which was Nickelodeon’s first outing with the characters after purchasing the rights in 2009. The 2012 series is also the version of the Turtles that seems to bear the most resemblance to these new designs, though there are nods to other iterations too, including the letters on their belt buckles, just like the original 1987 series.

Finally, there’s the video clip which features the Turtles introducing themselves before they fall through a manhole cover. It offers a bit of how their voices will sound and what the animation looks like.

TEENY MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Official Teaser | New Original TMNT Series | Premieres July 24th | Nick Jr.

The Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles are ready to gear up and go! Everyone’s favorite ninja turtles, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, are back! Set in their childhood years, this original series explores the early days of the iconic ninja turtles on their first adventures as ninjas-in-training. They’ll even be joined by their friend April O’Neil, and encounter foes like BeBop, Rocksteady, and Karai. Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles premieres on July 24th, right here on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel!

Besides the difference in the Turtles’ ages and the intended pre-school audience, there are a few notable changes to the Turtles. Their weapons have a safer, more colorful, jelly-like appearance and Leo carries one sword instead of two. But before OG fans gripe about them wearing sandals, it should be noted that several versions of the Turtles have worn similar footwear (even in the gritty Last Ronin series).

Yet despite the fact that this show is not intended for older fans, the video reveals even more nods to previous versions of the franchise. For example, Raph has a bit of a snaggletooth like he does in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Turtles chanting “Go Ninja Turtles, Go!” at the end seems like a nod to the “Ninja Rap” refrain “Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!” The clip even has the Turtles recreate a bit of animation from the original cartoon’s theme song, where the Turtles fall through the air, concluding with Leo slicing the frame in half.

Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles comes just over 10 years from Nickelodeon launching Half Shell Heroes, a preschool-friendly brand extension of TMNT, which included a hour-long TV special, Blast to the Past, along with a app and toy line.


INTERVIEW: Younger Heroes In A Half Shell On “Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles”

Eliza Hart, VP of Preschool Development at Nickelodeon Animation, joins me to talk about the new CG family series Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles, centered on the eight-year-old versions of the beloved brothers. It premieres this Friday July 24th on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel. (This Animation Scoop Q&A was edited for length and clarity.)

Jackson Murphy: I really wanna know your perspective of how invested Nickelodeon is in the TMNT brand through the movies, through the shows, now through this. It seems to be an incredible time to be a part of the TMNT family.

Eliza Hart: I think it really is. I think the fact that the company has decided to invest in a preschool show really shows how invested they are in the overall sort of world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Obviously, we have the movies. We have big kids stuff. We have games. It’s across our whole ecosystem. It’s a super important brand for us. And so I was really, really excited that the company also decided to get behind preschool in a really big way.

JM: And what were some of the thoughts behind this decision to go in this direction and feeling like preschoolers could really immerse themselves in this universe?

EH: I think there’s a couple things. I’m a mom of two kids, and so always looking for things that feel like it’s made for them. Things that are safe for them, entertaining for them, relatable to them, good for them to watch. As I oversee preschool development, I’m always thinking, “What in our brand ecosystem, our IP ecosystem as such a large corporation would be well translated into preschool?” And so a few years ago we started talking about, “Well, what would a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show look like for a preschool audience?” And just as an IP, as a brand tonally, it just made so much sense. And when we announced it, too, everyone’s like, “This makes so much sense. Why hasn’t this been done before?” The characters are so relatable. They have fun. They love what they do. So the idea of being… “Okay, what if we took them and made them eight-year-olds and really explored what it was like to be a kid mutant ninja turtle before they became teenagers?” And really tell stories that felt really bespoke for a preschool audience. And then we brought in Max Beaudrey and Francisco Paredes and Sarah Johnson. All three of them are sort of our three lead creatives on the project and all grew up as massive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans. And so what we really did was channel, “What did you love about the Turtles growing up, and how do we think we want to translate that for today’s preschoolers?”

JM: And it really shows that you have TMNT fans behind this show because of the energy and enthusiasm that Leo and Donny and Raph and Mikey have — you can see it come across in the episodes, and I’m sure that was so important to showcase in this show.

EH: Yeah, 100%. One of our big sort of missions was, “How do we differentiate from all the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles content that exists?” And what was special about being eight years old and being a Mutant Ninja Turtle versus when you become a teenager? How do we really play up the fact that they’re kids and Splinter is their dad? All that kind of fun stuff that we really got to really dig into in a different way than some of the other content can.

JM: Kids love pizza, and pizza is a huge part of this show.

EH: (laughs) I know. Okay, I know you screened the first two episodes. I will say not every episode has pizza in it.

JM: (laughs)

EH: But the first two and a lot of them do. A super iconic part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles like lore and the world, but also relatable to kids, so what a win.

JM: Absolutely. So these episodes are three to four minutes long. What was the decision behind that? Was it tricky to have stories only be that length, and do how you feel about that? ‘Cause it’s unique in terms of animation that’s out there these days, including for kids.

EH: So we developed Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles as a traditional, 11-minute series, and we really then took everything we had developed and made sure that we were telling the right stories for the YouTube platform. And for us, for our YouTube ecosystem, we know that shorter episodes work really well, and so that was where the decision came from to make them three and a half to four-minute episodes. I will say we also do know what that longer version looks like. We know what those longer stories look like, and I think we look at everything from a franchise point of view at the company. On YouTube, this is the experience kids are gonna get. If we do an 11-minute series, this is the experience they’re gonna get. If we get to do a 44-minute or a full-length movie, this is the experience they’re gonna get, and we really just build out the world and the characters in a way that will be specialized for the platform that they’re on.

JM: Interesting. So you’re leaving the door open for more because you came in thinking it would be maybe 11 minutes and now the opportunity for this, but you’re leaving the door open for the possibility of expanding this out in the future.

EH: Everything we develop we wanna make sure can be a book and a video game. Because kids experience their favorite characters and their favorite shows and their favorite IP every way possible. They play it, they watch it, they read it. And so we wanna make sure we’re building out the world and the characters in a way that they can experience it the way they’re going to naturally.

JM: And this is a big deal to launch something like this from Nickelodeon that is CG animated on YouTube, and you feel that that is a very comfortable avenue for this to debut on.

EH: It is. It’s actually our third original series that we’re debuting on YouTube. We had an original series called “Kid Cowboy” that premiered last January, and then we have a show called “Star Trek Scouts” that was he first ever preschool iteration for “Star Trek”. That’s been out for almost a year. Our YouTube ecosystem is really, really strong, and so it’s where our audience is. And I think at Nickelodeon, one of the great things is we always listen to our audience, and we really have to meet kids where they are. Our Nick Jr. channels… we have many Nick Jr. channels across YouTube. This is globally, but we have almost 100 million subscribers. We would be foolish to not pay attention to the importance of that platform and really take advantage of the fact that our audience is there. And this is a place where we can find them and they can find us, and introduce them to new things or possibly reboot or spin off favorite shows, but just really, really utilizing that platform really strategically.

JM: The look of this show is so friendly, and that had to be significant for all of you to make a friendly experience for the kids watching this.

EH: Yeah, it was one of the first decisions we made. And actually it was Max and Cisco when they came in with their pitch. They were like, “This version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… they are not hiding in the sewers. They’re not hidden.” We have this cool turtle tower with a dojo. Mutants and humans are living amongst each other out in the open.” And for a preschool audience, it is really important for it to be bright and appealing and accessible, and not feel overly dark or grungy. But we really made sure we kept a lot of the really important iconography. You will see a sewer on our show. We use it a lot. They just don’t live in the sewer. New York City. Pizza. All that stuff. You’ll still see it. It’s just represented in a new way.

JM: Cool. You have worked in your career at Sesame Workshop and Hasbro, and now here at Nickelodeon with beloved brands and beloved IP. How have you seen firsthand the impact of beloved characters and franchises and IP on families and on the work that you love putting out?

EH: I feel a really deep sense of responsibility because I think we all know that our favorite shows and movies and characters were super formative to us as kids. So I feel like I remember that, and I think about that a lot as we’re figuring out how to bring beloved characters and worlds to today’s kids. I always come at it from, “What’s the creative reason we’re making this? What are we offering that hasn’t been offered before? What are we giving to today’s audience that is different from when we were kids? How has that audience changed? How are their viewing habits different? And how are we appealing to them and giving them something of quality?”

JM: Yeah. This is a quality show. How do you feel that “Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles” represents where Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. are at in 2026, beyond, and how deep you wanna go with this?

EH: It’s a really lovely introduction to this universe for the audience. It’s something that’s made just for them, and as they grow, we have so many other things… so many other ways they can enjoy the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe. But this is sort of their first stop. I’ve always talked about it sort of as a primer into the world. So it’s gonna have all the greatest hits from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just really taken to that preschool level.

JM: And investing in content like this for preschoolers ahead for Nickelodeon because that’s always been important for you guys, and I think it’s more important now than ever — in talking to parents and other family members — of just looking for things to watch that are appropriate and that are just good quality content. I love that this show represents that, and that you stand for that with what you do at Nickelodeon.

EH: Both in my job and just as a parent, I think it’s really important. We want to put something positive out into the world for kids. It’s entertainment. I always say kids are just littler versions of us. They’ve had a long day at school, even if it’s preschool, or they’ve had a tough time with a friend. Let’s give them something to help them smile and laugh and enjoy, and also, we like to say we hide the veggies… with good lessons and good themes of friendship and teamwork. Some of those really evergreen ideas. And even on “Turtles”… siblings. Sibling dynamics. And yes, there’s our bad guys, and our bad guys are very silly on this show, but… perseverance. Really great evergreen preschool themes that we’re really able to highlight even in this three and a half to four-minute format.

Since 1996, Gray Sky Music has been a key Owensboro area hub for regional musicians looking for a top-flight recording studio or advertisers seeking commercial jingle production. Matt and Nicole Gray are the proprietors, and do they ever know how to celebrate a 30th anniversary.

Okay, in all fairness, the amazing gig that Matt Gray has landed was likely coming his way whether this was a milestone anniversary or not. Matt is one of the best, and now his Owensboro recording studio is playing a role in Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles, a brand new animated series from Nickelodeon's Nick Jr.

So how did Nick Jr. find Matt Gray? Well, that's part of another local story that's no less impressive.

HOW AN EVANSVILLE VOICE ACTOR LED NICKELODEON TO OWENSBORO

Twelve-year-old Evansville voice actor Charlie Palmer landed the role of Donatello—Donny in the series—and referred the production team to Matt. Charlie’s voice work needed to be recorded in or around Evansville. Gray Sky Music was vetted for the project, and suddenly a Nickelodeon production had found a recording home just down the road in Owensboro.

Matt explained that what are called "coaching" sessions with Charlie are conducted via Zoom. The producers need to be able to see Charlie during those sessions, and Matt actually built equipment to make that possible.

And here's the really cool part.

WHEN DONNY SPEAKS, YOU'RE HEARING OWENSBORO
When you're watching Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles and Donny speaks, you're hearing Charlie Palmer's performance recorded right here in Owensboro. In fact, the series' very first episode begins with Donny. Take a listen.

All 30 episodes of the first season are available on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel. The series is geared toward preschoolers, with each episode running about four minutes.

And Owensboro's connection to the series isn't finished.

A second season has already been greenlit, and Matt says work is underway. He estimates that three to six episodes of the new season have already been recorded at Gray Sky, with Charlie's recording sessions taking place in two-hour blocks.

What's more, Matt tells me that his work on Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles led to an interview with Paramount's music department, which has added his work to its catalog for future consideration. He says that it's the kind of thing he's dreamed about for 30 years.

I bet he never thought Teeny Turtles would be the pathway to living that dream.
