TMNT: The Last Ronin Animation

I'm making this for the amazing teenage mutant ninja turtles community and because I love the Turtles!

The last ronin is set in a future New York City where a lone surviving Turtle sets out on a seemingly hopeless mission to obtain justice for his dead family and friends. It's a comic book series written by the original creators of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird who are joined by writer Tom Waltz. I have been working a few month now, making one scene of that comic book series into an animation.

We are thrilled to have a platform such as YouTube so we can honor all people who have worked with the TMNT. The teenage mutant ninja turtles rocks!

"I miss my brothers...so much." That really hit me hard. Superb voice acting and animation.

Okay but now I want more than anything to see this as a full length film

For some people who don't know, Michaelangelo was always the MOST naturally gifted Turtle. Splinter knew this and that's why he gave him the Nunchaku, the hardest weapon to master of all the other Turtles, to balance out his eagerness, comedic antics and overconfidence. Michaelangelo was never a leader or the strongest or most disciplined Turtle, but the most skillful. Of course, he would lose to Leonardo because Leo takes a fight serious and uses a lot of fight IQ to which Mikey is just more brash because of how he is. When you notice how when he fights he does so with absolute ease that he Adds his playful antics and clownish demeanor into his fighting because he just Can. He does things with his weapons that no other Turtle can do with theirs and does so very naturally even though you see how the other Turtles constantly train more than Mikey who just plays around. This is why when Mikey lost everything he became the most powerful Turtle. His happiness and everyone he loved was taken away. He had nothing left But to be serious and vengeful.

Seeing Mikey going from the joking, chill, and goofy in the group to be most brooding and depressing one is tragic. All of his innocence destroyed.

If you grew up on the turtles and didn’t get hit in the chest by this you aren’t human. I’ve watched this countless times. Extremely well done.

"I miss my much." Words that came from a lone warrior

[ryanw]

I never thought Mikey of all people would become this dark and gritty. I guess losing one's family would break even the most fun-loving and laid-back person.

The Last Ronin is a really sad story honestly. It takes the happiest and most care free turtle of the four and has him become the only remaining survivor after a brutal loss. He ends up the most serious and straightforward turtle. The Last Ronin deserves a good film especially for such a huge point in the TMNT Multiverse. Mikey becoming the most serious turtle is a true sign that dark times have come.

[LordCommanderSpaceAlligator]

Nobody would expect Michelangelo to be the lone survivor, especially as the comic relief. But his pain in this scene is nearly tangible. I actually shed tears.. Please, to the creator. I beg you to continue this

Wow! Truly amazing. Thank you -- Tom Waltz/IDW Publishing

[MilNorm]

God. I swear when I heard, “I miss my brothers”, I couldn’t hold the tears back. This is beautiful.

TMNT fans are desperately missing an adult themed show/movie.

SPOILERS: Don't read if you're going to whine about being









😂Michelangelo being the ronin was an amazing series. He was always the most gifted of the turtles and I don’t know if anyone else read the comics, but he was a master at all their weapons and that’s why splinter gave him nunchucks because it was supposed to be the hardest to master.

[LouieD]

Why can’t creators like yourselves be the ones making Hollywood movies?? This is fantastic work and would give my money to see this made into a feature length film!

[ekayn]

I'm not crying... It's just raining inside my house... Mikey being the last turtle hits so deep because he was so happy and carefree. Seeing his soul crushed makes the weight that much heavier.

[speedokaggen]

I hope you guys will enjoy this! Please let me know what you want to see in the behind the scenes :)

[dastanovich]

This just shows we really need the official TMNT animation brand to venture into adapting IDW comics. Fantastic work!

[tuauafiafiahoching]

You’ve managed to make a more interesting and heartfelt story with just 4 and a half minutes than what Michael Bay tried to do with 2 movies man people like you are the ones we need making movies.

[EagleEye]

I love how Raph and Donnie’s voices sounded like the ones from the original movie. Very nice touch!
