Jeff Rowe, the director behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, says the animated movie wouldn’t have been able to take so many chances if not for the critical and commercial success of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rowe explained how Into the Spider-Verse made it possible for a film like Mutant Mayhem to exist. “The first Spider-Verse really opened a lot of doors,” Rowe said. “It really made it okay for studios to take chances on a film looking unique and maybe having a little bit more sophistication and emotional maturity in its storytelling. And it was such a seismic shift that it became expected. Suddenly, making movies that look like the style of CG animation over the past 30 years felt dated.”Rowe’s words echo what Chris Miller, the co-producer of Into the Spider-Verse and The Mitchells vs. the Machines (the animated Netflix movie Rowe co-wrote and co-directed) recently said on social media. Miller praised Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and argued its success could pave the way for more experimental animated movies like it. “Studios are driven by only 2 things: greed and fear,” Miller said. “For a long time, studios were afraid if you made an animated film with a unique, unusual stylistic language, American audiences would be confused and not show up at the box office. Truth is, audiences want a new experience.”Related: TMNT: Mutant Mayhem’s Ending, Explained
