Just as the Turtles are preparing for a totally eggs-cellent Easter, Shredder scrambles their plans with a way-bogus ray - that makes everyone timid as terrified bunnies! To find a solution, the intrepid Turtles travel to "The Fairy Tale" dimension, where they meet a cast of storybook superstars and join forces with a heroic hare named Hokum. Now, if they can just get back to their home planet before the Easter deadline egg-spires! Then, good buddy Hokum Hare once again teams up with the fightin' green Teens as Shredder tries to conquer the future! It's a tubuloso adventure that finds the Turtles journeying years ahead in time, when they come face-to-shell with themselves: the over-the-hill Mutant Ninja Turtles!
