Episodes
Production and release
At the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) in August 2016, Nickelodeon unvieled three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated short films, each set in a different continuity and helmed by a different creative.[1] This first batch included "Don vs. Raph" by Sung Jin Ahn and Jhonen Vasquez, and animated by Titmouse, Inc.; "Turtles Take Time (and Space)" by Rie Koga and Brandon Auman, and animated by Studio Mir; and "House of Cool" by Paul Jenkins and Kevin Eastman, and animated by House of Cool.[1][2]
in June 2017, a new batch of shorts was released, and them along with the SDCC 2016 shorts were placed under the retroactive title, TMNT Summer Shorts.[3][4] These included "We Strike Hard and Fade Away into the Night" by Kevin R. Adams and Joe Ksander; "Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles" by Matt Youngberg and animated by DNA productions; five "TMNT Team Up!" shorts by Gary “Doodles” DiRaffaele and Tommy Sica (including an SDCC 2017 bonus episode); and "Boulangerie".[3][5]
Titmouse co-founder Chris Prynoski described the shorts they worked on for the project as a "labor of love", and one they took on simply because it appealed to them. Each short took approximately 20 to 25 weeks for Titmouse to produce.[6][7] Responding to the question of whether any of the shorts would be adapted to a full series Pryonski stated: "I think the style will be too difficult to execute on a regular basis as a series".[6]
