The Turtles latest feature film, titled simply TMNT and written and directed by Kevin Munroe, was released March 23, 2007. It is the fourth and final installment of the original series. Unlike the previous films, it used 100% computer-generated imagery, produced by Imagi Animation Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and The Weinstein Company. It was the final Ninja Turtle movie to be distributed by Time Warner due to the franchise being purchased by Viacom.
Chronologically, this movie takes place after the third movie, with the team essentially broken as Leonardo is training in Central America, Donatello and Michelangelo have jobs, and Raphael spends his time as the vigilante crimefighter 'Nightwatcher'. Leonardo returns to the New York City due to the events surroundering a series of monsters being hunted by the mysterious businessman Max Winters, but tensions begin to rise between him and Raphael over the leadership of the team. The Foot Clan also make an appearance, with Karai leading them.
