TMNT producer, Thomas K. Gray, has said in an interview that sequels to the movie would be PG-13 but he would prefer an R rating.
However the TMNT movie that opens in March will be rated PG. Director Kevin Munroe wasn’t too happy with that because when PG is mentioned most people think “kids movie.” Munroe has gotten past that and feels that he has made a movie that anyone of any age can enjoy.

TMNT, the new animated film featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is contractually obligated to get a PG rating, despite its high level of action. But filmmakers want to go for a higher rating in subsequent movies, if there are any. “The next one we will make PG-13, but we would prefer to make it R,” producer Thomas K. Gray said in an interview. “We feel like, though, we have a different standard than other movies.”

Gray added: “We will have far less violence than [The Chronicles of] Narnia, … but because our setting is more reality-based there is … a higher standard put on us.”

Another big problem is that some of the weapons used by the Turtles are banned in other countries, particularly in Europe. The actual use of a nunchaku or metal stars as weapons cannot be shown in the new TMNT movies, although the weapons will be shown hanging from the superheroes’ belts. “The film wouldn’t be able to be shown in parts of Europe if we had that kind of thing in the movie,” Gray said.
