Looks pretty slick.. they move a lot more amphibiously through the environment.

TMNT's new cartoon series is awesome. Especially the first season.
The new series is heavily based on the graphic novels of long ago. I'm sure the movie will appeal to kids, but still have a dark theme to it.
Sweet! 3dguy is sitting in his mom's basement pissing his pants in glee.

- Writer-director Kevin Munroe was present and revealed five minutes of footage from the anticipated film, which is set after the second live action movie.
- He said that the film will feature hidden jokes from the comics and animated series.
- Splinter will be voiced by Japanese actor Mako. The other voices will be announced in a month, but they are not well-known celebrities.
- Shredder is not the villain in the story, though he does make an appearance, which might set up the conflict for the sequel.
- Expect Casey Jones and April to develop a relationship.
- Marco Beltrami is doing the score, and they are looking to create a theme for the "Turtles" CG movies, something memorable like the "Batman" theme.
- One of the scenes shown features a turtle dressed up for a kids party, and the kids beat him up, with one of the little girls kicking him in the balls. A lot of action scenes were also shown, like the turtles on skateboards, hang gliders, etc.
- The movie features a bat character and female ninja characters.
- There is a human villain, who may or may not be named Winter.

Yea, they leap like frogs and shit. Certainly turned out alot better than i had imagined. I didn't think the first shots of the turtles looked any good, but seeing them animated it looks cool. NINJA WERE MENT TO BE TURTLES ITS TRUE!!!11one

I second that...
It lacks the flare of the original movies just as the new series lacks the flare of the old one.
ive mixed feelings on the frog like jumping.
for me the music in the trailer doesnt quite fit the look and feel of it.
looks like fun
I liked the bit o' humor with the garbage bin, was worried it was gonna be too serious.

I wonder if they remembered that turtles have armored balls?
But still, this looks like it should be entertaining.

and by the way Im stoked for this. It'll be a good one.
animatronics ftw anyday
i generally hope it stays more in line with the FEEL of the first movie and less of the second. (though in their day i enjoyed both)

But Im with ya. All looks like bollocks to me.
Ill let 3dguy claim biggest fan for the original cartoon, however he would be hard pressed to compare to my geekdom for being a fan overall for the franchise. So as such a geek..
It looks fun to me, however as whats been shown here, i wonder if they might loose some of the audience who arent familiar with such a drawing style. To be consistent it should make the entire film including the environments in the loose style of the initial. Otherwise its going to be too surreal with their cartoonish cg turtles with all other characters and environments much more "constrained".
Edit: The recent resurgence of the original series written by laird and draing by lawson is quite fun. The turtles are in their 30s in it.
