Barbie may be taking over the box office this July, but next month will see the film for another toy property, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The marketing for TMNT: Mutant Mayhem has been going slow and steady the past few weeks, but one new promo joins in on the Barbie hype.
Watch this:
The promo has the Turtles checking out Barbie Land from the sewer, and both are rendered in that signature Robot Chicken stop motion. The TMNT promo ends with some new clips from the film, and we have the spotlight on Mondo Gecko, another new mutant played by Paul Rudd.
With the movie having a ton of references to real-life, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mutant Mayhem made some kind of jab at Barbie. After all, there’s always a teen who just gets into all the artsy movies, and they’re bound to have something to say about all the ones that come out.
The new TMNT film is set to release in a few weeks, and hopefully by then it doesn’t have to compete too much with the box office hype around Barbie.
In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, after years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.
Watch out for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem when it comes to cinemas on Aug. 2.
