PSA: I watched TMNT 2012 when I was younger and i just wanted to put my opinions on if the turtles were humans/if they had human forms (however Splinter is still a mutant) and the rest of the characters. Please do not be offended by my interpretation of the casting, it is just my opinion that i am choosing to share. I hope you enjoy my casting of TMNT 2012!
