Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Chaos Writers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Jeff Rowe said it was important for their turtles to talk like real teenagers. That meant keeping up with the latest fads like TikTok.
“We’re trying to make these ninja turtles sound like you and talk like you and relatable to the same TikTok videos you watch that I’ve never seen and don’t understand at all,” Rogen said. “I don’t know who the Ocky man is, but apparently the Ocky man is hilarious. Tell him you like bacon, egg and cheese and that’s it.
Although the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics have been adapted as a weekday afternoon TV show, live-action films in the 90s and 2010s, and a 2007 animated film, Mutant chaos is the first incarnation to cast teenagers. The production simultaneously recorded Micah Abbey, Sharon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu and Brady Noon and allowed them to improvise.
“Some of the best jokes we don’t get,” Goldberg said. “One of our main theories was that it would be much better to record them all together because that’s how teenagers are. You don’t wait for people to finish their sentences. It had a domino effect. It affected the animation, how we designed it, how many people were in the frame.”
Rowe said that the animation style was designed to look like it was also drawn by teenagers.
“We looked at the way you draw as a teenager, before you have any formal art training,” says Rowe, who also co-directed with Kyler Spears. “It’s so passionate. You have no idea what you’re doing, but that doesn’t stop you. It was this beautiful metaphor for these characters. They have big goals and ambitions that have not yet been tested.”

Rogen reminded the audience that every animated frame was carefully crafted and thought out. That’s why a lot of thought went into the movie’s seemingly haphazard aesthetic.
“The idea of making it look like mistakes are being made is a little clumsy sometimes,” Rogen said. “The idea of this youthful enthusiasm that can’t contain itself and doesn’t stay within the boundaries was really exciting and thematically an interesting way to do the look, the sound and the music, the themes in the film, etc. . The storyline. “
Rogen allowed for a mature element Mutant chaos: The soundtrack features more ’90s and classic rock than any current artist.
“It’s all music from our childhood,” Rogen said. “It’s not music that young people listen to these days. We did a neat trick that now has a lot of kids listening to Tribe Called Quest.
