[NEWS] Nickelodeon’s TMNT Leaves Good Impressions

tmntpartyvan:

The Internet has been buzzing about the events that took place at the recent MCM Expo London, including the exclusive debut of Nickelodeon’s new TMNT cartoon reboot, and it seems to be pretty positive!

The following excerpts are from Toonzone.net writer Grant White’s, one of many in attendance, thorough write-up:

“In all, it was a noteworthy presentation which shows Nickelodeon are concerned with treating this property with respect. Fan feedback was the clear goal of the screening and clearly not just for the larger bases like America but smaller ones like the UK. I have to admit that when news first broke that Nick were planning to reboot the series so soon after the 4Kids version I questioned if it would work. Having now seen this, I think it’s clear they plan to do something unique and respectful that will both please existing fans and more importantly capture the imaginations of a whole new generation.” - Grant White, Toonzone.net

Regarding the portrayal of the characters:

“A brief introduction to the core cast established their starting points. Leonardo (Jason Biggs) will be a leader whose enthusiasm outclasses his current ability, taking guidance from Splinter and a Captain Kirk-wannabe TV character. Raphael (Sean Astin) was described as a ‘pitbull with knives’ who will retain his famous rivalry with Leo along with his hotheadedness. Donatello (Rob Paulsen) continues as the team’s science whiz but now also carries a crush on April which is continuously made fun of by his brothers. His character design also boasts a gap between his teeth which we were told ties into a drive to make each of the Turtles unique both in terms of character and design, with small details such as this and a scar for Raph hinting at unseen escapades. Michelangelo (Greg Cipes) is still a joker but brings with it a unique viewpoint which offers solutions that escape his brothers.”

“… we were introduced to the three other main regulars. Splinter will be ‘less Yoda’, being aged down slightly to make him more of a physical equal to the Shredder and more directly involved in his pupil’s training. However he will still be a fountain of knowledge that Leo in particular looks up to. April has been made younger, with the somewhat joking concern that a 30 year old hanging out with four teenagers felt off. This will serve to make her more directly relatable to the Turtles, being an independent rebel who isn’t afraid to take action when needed. The Footclan soldiers will now wear more traditional ninja garb and also frequently use shadows and stealth techniques. The intent is to make them a true force to be reckoned with, which also holds true for their master, Shredder. Described as ‘the baddest of the bad’, he’ll be causing trouble for the mutant family from the very first episode. The role will be brought to life by Kevin Michael Richardson, though Eastman joked he’d hoped to get Bobcat Goldthwait. The final character reveal was the alien race ‘The Kraang’, the series fusion of the iconic 80’s bad guy and the more traditional Utrom aliens. Only able to speak through their robotic bodies, they will have an agenda to colonise Earth that is linked to the mutagen which transformed the Turtles and Splinter. Eastman highlighted that visually, the robot design draws directly from the original TMNT #3 comic book.”
