Screen Rant is pleased to present an exclusive clip from the special features on the upcoming digital release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. The movie is a fresh new take on the TMNT franchise with a stylish new animation style. Produced, Co-Written, and starring Seth Rogen, Mutant Mayhem is the first take on the turtles that actually includes a cast of teenage voices behind the foursome, with actors like Rogen, John Cena, Rose Byrne, Jackie Chan, Giancarlo Esposito, Paul Rudd, Ice Cube, and Natasia Demetriou rounding out the ensemble. TMNT: Mutant Mayhem will be available on PVOD starting September 1, 2023.

After years of hiding, four teenage turtle boys are ready to break away from their overprotective father and out of the sewers onto the streets of New York City. However, there’s a hidden menace plaguing the city, leaving destruction in their wake. If Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo want to be accepted by society they have to stop the mutant threat and prove that they’re not the monsters many see them as. With the help of their newfound human friend, April O’Neil, the Turtles have to take down this mutant army before it destroys the human world they love.

In this exclusive clip presented by Screen Rant, the audience gets a first look at a behind-the-scenes feature about the casting process behind Mutant Mayhem.

Hannibal Burress shares some backstory about the Texan-born Genghis Frog, who attended M.I.T. for a year before joining Superfly in his nefarious antics.

Mutant Mayhem was a critical success, earning a 97% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, and a 90% audience score. While the film only grossed $138 million dollars worldwide after four weeks due to its release putting it up against juggernauts Barbie and Oppenheimer, Paramount Pictures has shown great faith in the talent behind the story. There is already a sequel planned, along with two seasons of a television show.

This year has been an exciting year for Paramount Pictures, both in theaters and on the small screen. March saw the release of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, a tale set in the fantasy world of Faerûn, a comedic take on the popular role-playing game where Chris Pine leads a team of thieves and magicians in his quest to win back his daughter and stop an evil cult from enslaving the population. In July, the Mission Impossible franchise returned in a dramatic fashion as Tom Cruise reprised the role of Ethan Hunt in the 7th entry into the franchise, and the first of a two-part story that will be continued in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 2 in July 2024. One of the biggest Paramount franchises, Star Trek, saw the final season of Star Trek: Picard conclude with rave reviews from both critics and fans alike, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds danced to its finale in a well-received musical episode.

From Paramount Home Entertainment, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem will be available on PVOD on September 1, 2023. All bonus features will be available with a digital purchase.
