This is a great movie - well written with plenty of zingers, funny and heartfelt, superb voice acting (everyone but especially the turtles), gorgeous animation, and banger music.

There's a lot to praise and a lot of it already covered already but I just wanted to say again how much the animation rocks. Hand drawn and computer animated. But it evokes the wonderful claymation style of Aardman, the company that makes Shaun the Sheep, Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run. And that's a huge compliment!

There is not a single wasted scene. And even though the plot is predictable, it is executed very well. It is a very fun time at the movies. I truly don't get the negative reviews here.

... but I logged in to add in the the chorus of praise for this episode.

It's an hour long whereas the others are 30-40min. The whole episode felt like being in a pressure cooker. The show never The dialogue was so real and uncomfortable and it just built to an explosion at the end.

The main cast is fantastic but they also have some guest actors hitting it out of the park. It is really an Emmys highlight reel for all the actors involved.

I quite understand some of the lower reviews who say it's too much, too loud, over the top etc but I thought it was a pretty accurate representation of a chaotic holiday family dinner in a family that is extremely dysfunctional.
