go to 1:46 to 2:15
Pictures were pulled before I got to see them. Teenage April doesn't exactly bug me. As long as her role is still consistent with pass portrayals, I don't see the issue in de-aging her.
Looks promising, I'll give 'em that much.

Gonna be honest, I'm not a big fan of CGI for a cartoon series. Not out of a Traditional Animation vs CGI preference so much as that television shows don't tend to have the best budgets leading the animation to be really stiff.

Looks like this show will have a bit of an anime influence.
I do like the trailer's background music, which I assume will be this incarnation's theme song. It seems to be a rearrangement of the original show's theme.

I put on my robe and tinfoil hat...Dude. Michallengo's voice actor is so familiar. I can't recall, and its so freaking obvious that I SHOULD KNOW.
Sean Astin is Leonardo.
Yes. THAT Sean Astin.
Also, Rob Paulsen is Donatello.

Aaaah, dude. I should have known.
The animation looks a little... rough. Not the character models. While those have their own set of flaws, that's not what I'm talking about. It just seems like the animation isn't very smooth, at least compared to the other CG show I watch (Green Lantern). I'm hoping that gets fixed at some point before the show airs.
Indeed, the animation clearly does not follow the Twelve Principles. As I mentioned before, it's taking more of an animesque style.
I put on my robe and tinfoil hat...It looks a bit Lighter and Softer than the 2K3 version, but it might be good so long as they don't overdo the cheesy humor.
"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all" Futurama, GodfellasNot really liking what I see so far. This version does appear at first to be taking more from the 80's Turtles as opposed to the 2003 which I think was borrowing more from the source material. I'm a bit too old and serious now to get a lot of enjoyment from that influence.
Considering they got Rob Paulsen back for this (albeit as Donatello, not Raphael like the 80's cartoon), they might be aiming somewhat for fans of that incarnation.

"Pancakes. Oh, I blew it." - Joel Hodgson Nobody better lay a Butterfinger on my 3DS!I honestly have zero expectations for this series, therefore I can only be pleasantly surprised.
All I can say at this point is that "it's better than what Bay would have done."
ADHD? Bitch please, those are battle instincts!I sure hope Direc TV puts Nick back on the air in time for this show to premiere!
New clips.

This is... actually looking good. I mean it is different from both TMNT series, but it looks to be decent so far and true to the spirit of the characters.
...Good work, Nickelodeon. Hopefully the series will be as good as it looks.
