Trivia[]

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the eighth Nicktoon to get an animated feature film. The first seven are Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, The Wild Thornberrys, SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocko's Modern Life, Invader Zim, and The Loud House.

This also technically makes Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the ninth Nicktoon to get an animated feature film, if one also counts Doug's 1st Movie, although it was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation.

This will also be the fourth Nickelodeon animated film to be released on Netflix.

This will also be the fourth animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. The first three were TMNT, Turtles Forever and Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is the first animated film not to be associated with WarnerMedia.

Turtles Forever, which was a TV movie, premiered on The CW, which is a joint venture of ViacomCBS and WarnerMedia. (It also premiered on Nickelodeon at the same time.)
