Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Scored from 27 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo are four mutated turtles raised in the storm drains beneath New York City by Splinter, a mutated rat who trains them in ninjutsu. Surfacing into the city above, they fight the Foot Clan and its master Oroku Saki — the Shredder — while keeping their existence hidden, aided by April O'Neil, introduced here as a scientist's lab assistant, and the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones. Later seasons take the brothers off Earth and, eventually, into a distant future version of the city. The 4Kids-produced animated series ran from 2003 to 2009 and follows the Mirage comics more closely than the 1987 cartoon did.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) is a television series IMDb files under the action, adventure and animation genres. It was made in the United States. A typical episode runs 22 minutes. It is rated TV-Y7.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 22 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s television series — 1,360 of them. Only 27 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 32 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2000s (1,360 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 27.
