This is... harmless, I guess. As far as movies clearly made for children go, this one isn't nearly as obnoxious as it could have been, though it is almost ridiculously simplistic. I think it was a bonkers design choice from day one of these characters' inception to have one turtle with a red mask and one with an orange, because they look way too similar and I kept mixing them up.
