Shows that feel likeTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012–2017)

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back in an all-new animated series on Nickelodeon! Surfacing topside for the first time on their fifteenth birthday, the titular turtles, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello, find that life out of the sewers isn't exactly what they thought it would be. Now the turtles must work together as a team to take on new enemies that arise to take over New York City.

If you loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the closest series we have are X-Men (1992), Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) and Dragon Ball Z Kai (2009). All three share Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010).
