History WesternAnimation / RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheMovie

* RRatedOpening: The opening minutes to the film are a lot more darker than the rest of the [=PG-rated=] film, with Future Leonardo visibly bleeding from an injury, a PrecisionFStrike in him referring to Future Michelangelo as a "badass mystic warrior", and both turtles dying onscreen with Future Leo in particular being disintegrated.

* ShownTheirWork: Leo, Don, and Mikey react in disgust to Raph’s “fear stink.” Alligator snapping turtles possess Rathke’s glands which produce musky secretions for communication.

!!Spoilers from ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' will be left unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.

* DemotedToExtra: Despite being one of the Turtle's closer allies after her HeelFaceTurn, and her future son being a major character in the narrative, Cassandra Jones herself is completely absent from the story until the very end, wherein April receives a bunch of pics on her phone of her [[HeroOfAnotherStory fighting off the Krang mutants on the streets]] with improvised weaponry and taking selfies doing so, so Casey can clarify his real relationship with her.

* RRatedOpening: The opening minutes to the film are a lot more darker than the rest of the [=Y7-rated=] film, with Future Leonardo visibly bleeding from an injury, a PrecisionFStrike in him referring to Future Michelangelo as a "badass mystic warrior", and both turtles dying onscreen with Future Leo in particular being disintegrated.

*** [[spoiler:Krang One is hit by Donnie’s drill (albeit to [[NoSell no effect]]), recalling how 2003 Donnie infamously killed Ch’Rell in “Same As It Never Was” with the drill of the Tunneler.]]

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Anything that has happened in the original series finale gets spoiled here, such as Shredder's defeat, Leo being made leader, or the fact that the Foot Recruit is really the modern-day version of [[GenderFlip Casey Jones, Cassandra Jones]], with this movie's version of the character being her future son.

** When Raph tries to protect Leo from getting stabbed by the Krang, he gets his plastron shell cracked on the upper left side, much like the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 version of Raph.]]

** At the end of the movie, Cassandra Jones is seen in [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/1/17/Rottmnt_mov191.jpg a picture]] making [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ultimatepopculture/images/7/75/Caseyjones-tmnt10.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220702234019 the same pose as the original Casey Jones]] in the 10th issue of [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the original comics]].

** The Turtles have evidently taken up residence in an abandoned New York subway station (most likely due to the Shredder [[TrashTheSet having destroyed]] their lair in the series), similar to their home in the sequels to the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles 1990 movie]].

** [[spoiler:At the film's climax, Leo strands himself in the prison dimension in a HoldTheLine moment in order to keep their leader there while Casey removes the key to the portal. Though it's subverted as the other Turtles manage to save him after Michelangelo unlocks his mystical portal powers, with Raph and Donnie assisting him so he didn't have to perform his own HeroicSacrifice.]]

''Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie'' is a 2022 animated film based on [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles the fourth cartoon incarnation]] of the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', directed by series creators Ant Ward and Andy Suriano.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. Most portrayals of Casey Jones portray him as more of an AntiHero with varying degrees of sarcasm and wise-cracking behavior. Here, because of the BadFuture he grew up in, Casey is more of an AdaptationalNiceGuy with a more serious and somber personality.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In most TMNT incarnations, Casey tends to be the closest to Raphael out of all the Turtles. In this movie, it's Leonardo that Casey has the most interaction with and has a backstory of being Leonardo's student in the BadFuture he came from.

** The opening minutes never call attention to it, but future Leo's sword's wrappings on the hilt are not the traditional blue in the show, but red and purple, and hanging off the hilt, suggesting that this timeline's Raphael and Donatello's bandannas, and that they [[KilledOffscreen are long gone]].
