Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 Teaser
The animation here is simplistic because it's a rough. They've only just completed an animatic of the pilot so we haven't even got a full episode animated yet.
It's been hinted at by someone working on the show that each turtle will have a secondary weapon in addition to their signiture one. If you look closely you can see Mike and Don's regular weapons.
I have no problem with the style of animation since like I said before...simple designs equals better and smoother animation...but I just don't understand the need to change the weapons especially since the only thing they'll be able to cut is robots due to censoring
And a Kusuri-gama works completely different than the nunchukai. it'll change Mikey's style completely.
Also adding blades to their weapons doesn't even make sense because they aren't going to be cutting or stabbing people. Not on a Nickelodeon cartoon show. I mean al the cartoon characters that are blade based never get to do much with their blades unless they are fighting robots. Look at what Wolverine gets to do with his claws in cartoons.
If the original Don and Mikey from the first, dark, gritty comics were tough enough with the old weapons, then there is no reason to change them for the sake of egieness.
I'll still give this show a chance (Love thet turtles so much) but if they don't change the weapons back they will be starting me off on a sour note.
I already knew Nick got the rights to TMNT. I'm more excited about the rebooted live action movies. When are those suppose to come out.
Not bad, looks a lot like the 2003 turtles. Kind of wish it was the same voice cast. PS, for those who don't know, Rob Paulsen, who played Raphael in the 1987 series is playing Donatello in this one.
They had a succesful cartoon in 2003 which was also a hit with critics and fans of the original comics. Lasted seven seasons and a DTV movie. I'd argue that isn't a failure." They keep trying to bring back the Turtles, and the keep failing. "

is it another 3d animated movie, or a jim henson movie?
The sneak peak here is for a computer animated saturday morning cartoon series. There is a movie in the works that will be live action. Sadly Henson would never touch the turtles for it's supposed violence but they will have men in suits with cgi to animate the lip and eye movement as well as anything else that needs it.

lol!!! I agree. The original show from the 80's and 90's is what I grew up on! Haven't heard the new theme song(s).
I've always like the turtles. I grew up on the 2003 version and Raphael was always my favorite, but the animation here doesn't look right for a movie and I hope that its just for this preview and that the actual movie doesn't look like this, because it'll be disappointing for me.
I'm digging the weapon change... In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a little more diversity throughout the TMNT. I'm going to date myself here, but I remember liking it in (I think) the later Archie comic series when the brothers weren't only distinguished by their color and weapon, but Donatello had an ankle-length duster and bag of gadgets, and Raphael had a trucker hat, ball jacket, and an eye missing. I'm not saying it has to be exactly like that, but I'd like to see their wardrobe and equipment extend beyond knee-pads and bandanas. It helped show their individuality and how different they became as they grew up.

Oh yeah! They've even got the logo inspired by the original mirage comics. This is going to be sweet.

changing the weapons is dumb. not everybody needs to be able to cut things :/
