** OUR FAVORITE ARTISTS **

New theme song and Sneak Peeks galore!

It is truly amazing the sheer amount of stuff that’s flying at us now in terms of the new series, the events at this years SDCC… I am getting more and more excited with what the creative team has come up with for the turtles.The difference between the preliminary animation we saw a few months back compared to now is mind-blowing, and all the little touches… the white ‘mirage eyes’ in battle, the textures of the bandaging on their hands. Even the little facial twitches and breathing movements. There’s such an incredible amount of work put into all of this. This could really rev up the fandom and bring in some new blood. 🙂

More announcements about the September premiere  <– Update: Apparently, per Jason Biggs on the 4G coverage on Friday, this is going to be a one HOUR premiere!

Opening theme!

Training Showdown <– Fantastic Choreography. It’s serious battle, and not just slapstick-y kinda 3-Stooge-Fu… and no one turtle is overpowering the others.

TMNT Meet the Kraang

Enjoy!
