Language
Language may be the biggest issue for your younger kids in this movie.
The turtles are teens, so that comes with that teenage language!
Your kids will hear:
- h@ll
- sucks
- turd
- d@mn
- OMG
- stupid
- dumb
- butt
- p!ss
- oh sh!— (cuts off)
Plus a few other terms that aren’t truly terrible, just maybe not what you want to be repeated from the mouth of a kindergartener.

Age Rating of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem: Is It Safe For Kids When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?
There is a crush in the movie, but no sex or nudity in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (2023).
There is one kissing scene.
Violence and Gore: Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Too Scary For Kids Under 6?
This is an animated movie, so all the violence is cartoon-level violence.
But there is a lot of it.
The Turtles are crime fighters who encounter their share of bad guys, so you can expect to be a fair share of fighting scenes. There’s also a fair amount of puking going on, so be ready for some animated barf scenes!
Turtles are in peril and are seen “being milked” (ie, they are hooked up to a machine taking their green blood from them).
There are weapons used in the fight scenes like Ninja stars, swords, knives, guns, and a little electrocution to boot.

Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Ok For Kids: Mature Topics
Most of the humor in the movie is played for the target audience: kids who love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
As you can imagine, they are teens and act like them. So you have a fair share of sarcasm and slightly edgy jokes being thrown around as teenagers push boundaries.
Teenager hormones abound!
Things are said like “how does it feel to have your head so far up dad’s butt?” for example. There are also some terms like gangsta used, as well as some crude potty, puke and getting hit in the junk humor.
Kids may love it, parents not so much.

Parents Guide: Is Appropriate For Kids Under 6?
As always, you know your kids best.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is going to be a good family option for most kids. If they are already watching the TMNT gang, nothing in this movie will shock them.
Yes, even with Seth Rogan involved!
We think kids as young as 5 could safely watch the most recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Have fun!
