It would be so much easier if they weren't so cagey about TMNT's continuity with the first 3. As of the last official say (Ultimate Visual History), it is. But Munroe, when movie promotion was going on, seemed to not have a consistent answer. In these situations, I'd just ask him directly but the only social media he seems to have is an Instagram. In this interview from a few years ago Munroe puts the film in the same continuity as the others. http://animatedviews.com/2014/director-kevin-munroe-revisits-imagis-tmnt-franchise/

Of course this isn't helped by the fact that Turtles Forever shows it as a separate universe.

They also had some of the same continuitiies in different "bubbles". Doubled up on general Mirage universe shots as well as Archie. And I'm of the mind that there's no reason that the anime can't be the same universe as 1987 series, but it's there too.
