5.0 out of 5 stars Nickelodeon's 2012 TMNT series gets a proper, beautiful, insightful 'Art Of' book!
Reviewed in the United States on 12 June 2019
This is a thoughtful look into the 5 seasons of an outstanding Nickelodeon 2012 TMNT series. You’ll find artwork with a taste for nostalgia, classic TMNT, nerdy homages, and a heap of original ideas too. A lot of hard work was put into this book and it does a great job at highlighting how much hard work was put into the show itself. You get a little bit of everything but there is a great focus to mutant characters with snippets of what inspired the final look. Anything not written in explanation can be extrapolated from the backdrop images of doodles and notes from Ciro and the artists. I think the production crew's (shout out to interns, assistants, coordinators, managers, producers!) wide overview of the show can attest to the sheer amount of art catalogued and passed through the pipeline, even if this thick book couldn't fit all the other amazing pieces. Even so, the book is robust and doesn’t disappoint for fans of the Nickelodeon 2012 series looking to know more about the rich world of this iteration of TMNT. Now if only we could get the series on BluRay!!
