A director’s commentary with Kevin Munroe focuses on the animation process and little touches the audience might miss. There’s plenty of talk on deleted scenes as well.
Numerous deleted scenes (including an alternate opening and fleshed out ending) fill the special features menu separately instead of being contained in their own section. They’re in various forms of completion and sound great. Oddly, there’s no option to view them without Munroe offering a commentary over them. He discusses the dialogue, and you can’t even hear it.
Monsters Come Alive is a storyboard comparison from one of the monster attacks, and again, has full commentary with no option to view the piece with it turned off. Donny’s Digital Data Files discusses the animation process in a brief two minute piece. TMNT: Voice Talent is, obviously, a look at the actors taking on the roles and their feelings on the characters. At five minutes, there’s not much to see. Finally, an Internet reel is a teaser trailer narrated by Laurence Fishburne.
If this does become its own franchise, there is a desperate need to fill in the blanks. The Turtles themselves are fine, and they’re now fully established in terms of their personalities. A prequel would be wonderful, picking up after the third film (though while ignoring it as much as possible) dealing with the Turtles fight to keep the city clean from the remaining Shredder loyalists, or better yet, remaining mutants.
