See Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) for the series
See Turtles Forever for the movie The Kamen Rider and TMNT multiverses are one and the same.
To reiterate: In Turtles Forever, 2003 Shredder learns about the existence of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles multiverse and then attempts to erase all of it from reality. This has nothing to do with Kamen Rider at first glance, no?
Well, there's one single link to it all: Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. As much as Peter Laird hates it, the reveal of the TMNT multiverse effectively allows it to still exist somewhere in that cosmos.
With that in mind, remember the Next Mutation crossover episode of Power Rangers in Space? Now that we've linked TMNT to PR, note that Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers had a three-part Poorly Disguised Pilot for... Masked Rider. That show, while being a hackjob, is nevertheless a Kamen Rider series, and so part of the multiverse etablished by Kamen Rider Decade.
(And if you bring up the argument that Masked Rider became a Show Within a Show in Power Rangers Time Force, there's still another backdoor: the Rangers' connection to Super Sentai, which leads to the canonical Samurai Sentai Shinkenger crossover in Decade...)
The 80's Animated Series of Alvin and the Chipmunks takes place in the same continuity as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The Chipmunks and the Chipettes are mutated chipmunks. The last animal the boys touched before the mutagen took effect was the kindly songwriter David Seville, who had helped them off of the road he nearly hit them on. They followed him home, and the rest is history.
The events of Tales of the TMNT v.2 #58 caused the events of Turtles Forever, or maybe vice-versa.
Issue #58 from the second volume of Tales of the TMNT involved the fate of the Ninja Turtles Multiverse, much like Turtles Forever. Perhaps the Mirage Universe Turtles' encounter with Galatouse somehow caused the rift in the time-space continuum that brought the 1987 Cartoon Universe's Turtles, Technodrome and villians to the 2003 Cartoon Universe in Turtles Forever.
Usagi will appear in the new cartoon
and became something like a tradition in the franchise.
Casey Jones is missing from the second film because certain events from the City at War arc in the comics actually happened here too
That is, Casey accidentally kills a teenage mugger and falls into a drunken spiral that damages his relationship with April before leaving New York and falling in love with a pregnant waitress named Gabrielle. Sadly neither Gabe nor her child survive the stressful birth and Casey returns to New York alone to try and rebuild his life. This also explains why he's mellowed out so much in the third film and while he an April don't appear to be dating, still have a rather flirty relationship.
The Turtles (and some supporting characters) represent the Seven Deadly Sins.
The giveaway are the colours they wear.
Splinter is one of the rats of NIMH
Or at least a descendant thereof. He was intelligent enough to learn martial arts and how to read even before being mutated, and had a much longer lifespan than a normal rat, during the years Yoshi kept him.
