What do you mean this isn’t how it happened? || Rottmnt animatic (spoilers) 

Trade offer : you watch the entire 2seasons and movie of rise and i give you both rottmnt and mcyt art

As if Donnie wouldn't immediately join in on Brittney Spears' "Hit me baby one more time"

i’ve literally never seen something so in character in my life. this is just fantastic

This is basically if the boys all shared a favorite song and Leo decides to use that to bring Raph back. Boy! I love their taste in comedy!

I wouldn’t of even been mad if this is how it happened it’d be just as cool lmao

So glad that the fandom is thriving right after i binged the entirety of rise. Best trade offer ever

i JUST fell into rise brainrot and immediately after this comes out. i am benefiting immensely from this trade

Okayyy so I’ve watched this animatic seventy times now so I think it’s due time I do a lyrical breakdown in the comment section as to why “Hit Me Baby One More Time” is the perfect song for this scene. Here we go: *Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here?* - Raph spent the entire movie trying to convince Leo to take things seriously, something he’s never learned because he’s never had to be the leader before. But now that everyone is in trouble, he knows what Raph meant. *Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go and now you're out of sight* - Leo references Raph sacrificing himself to save him earlier, leaving himself behind. Leo blames himself for “letting him go.”The real Raph, buried underneath the Krang’s control, is now “out of sight” because of Leo. (This is the point where Raph joins in, so now the lyrics apply to both of them) *Show me how you want it to be* - Leo is asking Raph for his guidance. Unlike before, he is now ready to learn from Raph how to be a better leader. Raph starts singing back this line because he wants Leo to show him how to get his humanity back. (Crucially, Mickey joins in here, but he does the harmonies. Musically speaking, harmonies are considered the “support” of the song, which is fitting as Mickey is the most supportive member of the team) *Tell me, baby, 'cause I need to know now, oh because my loneliness is killing me* - Mickey and Leo miss Raph and Raph misses them, referenced as “loneliness.” Furthermore, their loneliness is actually killing them because without each other, the planet is doomed. *(and I)* - supporting Mickey harmony. *I must confess I still believe* - Leo, Raph and Mikey all believe that they can still win. Also, it could be interpreted that Leo believes that Raph is still in there. *(still believe)* - little harmony from Mikey, again being the support of the group. *When I'm not with you I lose my mind* - This is very interesting, as without each other, Raph and Leo did lose their minds. Raph, in the more literal sense, as his mind was taken over by an alien parasite. Leo, in a more subliminal sense, as he became way more reckless and desperate, lacking any sense or plan and endangering himself and his team in order to save Raph. *Give me a sign* - Leo wants a sign that the Raph he knows is still alive. *Hit me, baby, one more time*- They are quoting Britney Spears’ hit song “Hit Me Baby One More Time”

This is basically the “Running Up That Hill” scene from Stranger Things but with crackhead turtle energy.

I know that the Rise Movie was supposed to be a bit more serious, but COME ON! These are *still* the ROTTMNT turtles we’re talking about here! They’re a lot less serious and a lot more like actual teenagers in this version. And besides, their dad is literally a retired action movie star! They would *totally* pull crazy stunts like this!! I wouldn’t even be the slightest bit upset if this is how the movie actually ended (nothing against the Rise Movie. It’s amazing 🤩).

As someone who watched the movie can confirm this is exactly what happened

Lesson i learned from this: Raph's favorite song it "hit me baby one more time"

This is as cannon as leo is fruity 💅

YOOOO YOU FINISHED IT IN TIME!!! IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER LMAOOO THIS IS SO CANON

For how the show usually goes Im surprised they didn’t do something like this 👏 Love it ✨

Dude the last “hit me baby” was so beautiful 😩 Also I love the art lmao

this is absolutely canon and you cannot tell me otherwise

This is exactly how it went down 100% Also looks amazing!!!

No no. This is exactly how it happened. No but seriously, if the script writers for the movie didn’t at least THINK about this when making that scene I will be severely disappointed.

i like how theyre all concerned AF slay Leo! Slay

I haven't seen this episode of rottmnt yet but I'm positive this is how it went down

Yes, this is exactly what happened, 100%

No. This is definitely how it happened.

So we just gonna ignore Raph’s little hiss thing at the start? “HwwwwAAAASHSHHHHH”

The perfect addition of the liberation of Raph ninpo with the moment of the song when it hits the most. Absolutely amazing, I laughed so hard

My friends and I will just start singing bohemian rhapsody and this is kinda what it’s like.

LAMO! Why does this fit so well. Really made me laugh out loud for a moment.

im obsessed with this. im getting my bestie to watch season 2 and the movie tonight. it will be followed by this

Ah yes i deffinetly remember this happening now if you excuse me I need to re-watch the show and movie all over again hehe

I could totally see Raph being a BS fan ngl-

This is so good, I can stop laughing. And is it just me or this is kinda wholesome💙💜❤️🧡

OMG IM GONNA DIE LAUGHING LMAOOO THIS IS CANON THEY TOLD THEMSELVES (/j)

Ah yes, my two current hyperfixations (Dsmp and Rise) being treated by the same artist-

this is EXACTLY how it happened.

This is absolutely amazing,, time to watch the movie again

This is cannon. You can't convince me otherwise

This is beautiful, absolutely made my day its hilarious!!!

I love how in the beginning raph is just standing in confusion while leo is singing

I fucking love this so much, it gives me the same amount of emotion as the actual scene I’m the movie and its so amazing. Tbh i was 100% singing along with them lmao

this is literally how i saw it playing out, behind all the tears we're all just a lil silly

I thought this was the cat dancebreak meme lol but this is funny too 🤣

I just watched the movie- and they did so well on the expressions XD Also you can't tell me this isn't how it happened

This is exactly how I remember it.

ACTUALLY GONNA MAKE ME CRY WTF and both emotional tears and laughing tears

I adore this

I laughed until there were tears in my eyes - masterpiece, 10/10 would die to this again

THIS!!! I love this so much, amazing

The fact that even the Kraang know Britney Spears is unreasonably funny to me

omgosh i swear i always find this and keep watching it, it just hypes me up and fits so well!

What do mean this ain’t canon

THE ENDING SO EPIC, WHAT THE!! I LOVE IT!

Holy heck, this is canon- *leo chose the bro route*

MY EYES HAVE BEEN BLESSED WTH THIS!!

the krang just asking donnie what the fuck is happening was the cherry on top lmao

This video is iconic ;) I love this precious fandom

I was literally just about to start watching rottmnt and I get this recommended lmao

This might be the most sibling thing I've ever seen,

PLEASE LEO IS THE TYPE TO BRING SOMEONE BACK FROM CORRUPTION WITH A SONG 😭😭😭😭 DONNIE IS SO DONE I CANNOTTTTT

OH MY GOD THIS IS PERFECT 💀

THAT POP SOUNDED SO REAL FOR SOME REASON

In the middle of binge watching Rise... why is this so dang ACCURATE?! 😂

I wish this was canon 😂

Looks amazing. This was really funny!

POV : you forgot your line in a scene and remember that you enemy is you best friend UvU

Leo’s singing is bringing Ralph back 😂😂😂

Well, that's one way to get raph back Thanks leo good idea. And as you could see for donnie, no emotion, mikey, he's just rolling with it😅💙💜🧡❤️

YOOOOOOO ROTTMNT HELLL YEAHHH I LOVED THAT SHOW/MOVIE AND YES THIS IS CANON

Am i the only one that thinks it's funny that only donnie and krang are being sensible and breaking the fourth wall at the same time?! And krang knowing Brittany spears is funny as fuck!

This is beautiful

This is flipping awesome!! And fits oddly well lol

This is so in character! Brilliant!!

Truly an amazing clip from the movie 😌💙❤🧡💜🙏

I have no clue what show this is but this makes me want to watch it

ngl this is the most on-brand thing for leo i've ever seen

THE VOICE ON THE KRAANG LEADER IS SENDING ME-

PLEAAAAAAAASE HAJHAHAHAHHA definitely how i remember it going

AGHHHH ANOTHER AMAZING ANIMATION!!!!! DDHFHFHSFNSFJSHSNSJ!!!!!!!!!

Nah I've been singing with this on loop for atleast 2 hours already while I've been doing some art- I think I need some help.

this fits way too well

Ahhhhh….😌 The PERFECT last video to watch before bed! Thank you! 😴 (Proceeds to go to sleep thinking about what the movie would have been like if they gone that route, and how they all would sound like actually singing that…😅😂)

this was actually how it canonically went down

masterpiece

Everybody needs to see that this And i Mean EVERBODY

The krang just look at donnie like : the funk? And donnie just be like : ypu will get use to it *WHEEZE*

The last two seconds hit me in the face

All I thought of was the scene from guardians of the galaxy where Peter Quil is distracting Ronan by dancing and Singing I swear Leo and Quil are a lot alike especially after seeing this💀

Im CRYINGGGG this is canon now lmao

I love the deleted scenes of rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the movie were Leo is singing hit me baby one more Time song by Britney Spears to raph and he might love ❤️ it

Dude..... Stop making me laugh so hard. It's 12:20am and my family is asleep.✨❤💙🧡💜✨

HSBAHAHSHSH STOP YOUR MAKING ME WANT SEASON 3 SO MUCH MOREEE (/j keep going)

Absolute genius.
