MY FAVOURITE CARTOON
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012–2017) • Nickelodeon • by ______, Form ___
1. MY FAVOURITE GENRE
2. THE PLOT
Animated action-adventure (superhero cartoon).
A Japanese master, Hamato Yoshi, buys four baby turtles. An accident with a mysterious
chemical (mutagen) turns him into a rat, Splinter, and the turtles into mutant teenagers.
Features: fantastic heroes, the fight of good and evil, martial arts and battles, a lot
of humour, an exciting plot with adventures in every episode.
I like this genre because it is full of action, funny jokes and heroes who never give
up.
He raises them in the sewers of New York and teaches them ninjutsu. Now the four
brothers defend the city from the evil Shredder and his army, and from the aliens called
the Kraang.
