New Line released three live-action movies between 1990-1993. Nickelodeon brought the franchise to life again in 2012 with the CG-animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and then re-imagined the heroes with the 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles last year. As part of a separate deal, Nickelodeon and Netflix are partnering to produce an original animated 2D film based on the current Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.
