The last time Point Grey Pictures had produced a CGI movie was "Sausage Party" which had a lot of trouble of overworking their artist (something that is unfortunately common in the field) and lack of proper credits. Hopefully Point Grey and this new Nickelodeon animation studio try to avoid those situations with this film.

Hmm, I'm rather optimistic about this aside from the potential crunch issues with the animation studio. It's nice to see that it'll be a CG movie and I hope that the casting is on point in terms of who voices the turtles.

"Brendan O'Brian (Neighbors: Sorority Rising, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates) will write the screenplay."

This could theoretically imply a darker tone for the film. Looking forward to seeing what their designs are and the story angle they take!

Starved for any TMNT content--I'll stay hopeful for this one.

Why hasn't the 1987 cartoon been made available on streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, or even Pluto TV? I'm aware that it's available to purchase but subscription services? Are there complicated rights issues?

This is on top of their existing reboot and the rumored HBOMax live action turtles movie?

What happened that everyone wants to use the turtles ip suddenly?

Was Rogen's version of Preacher faithful to the tone of those comics? I think that's a bigger indication of what to expect than a Sausage Party or This is The a End

Open mind, but aside from Rogen who is hit or miss, (but a decent enough human being from all accounts), the other behind it don't inspire high hopes.
The 2007 film was a good movie, so hopefully they can achieve that level. Just be better than BayTurtles

Why don't they just base it on the IDW comics?
Great story and characters.
It has the violence without being too violent and it has the humour without being too childish.
Its Turtles done just right.

I wish they did a turtles with the art style (but not turtle design) of the new Nickelodeon series RISE, with the IDW comics story line.

IMO: the only turtle design I think they'd need to change (if they went this route) is Raphael's
(and Splinter definitely but we're only talking turtles right now)

I actually like Raphs, I think the one i liked the least is Leo's. He's my favorite turtle and just not a fan of his new design. I like the other 3 though.

There's one animated series running now and a comic series.

The comic series is good.

There hasn't been a video game since the Platinum debacle. The closest we've gotten was the Injustice 2 guest star stuff and that just made the lack of a big TMNT game more painful.

I also heavily recommend the 2012 series. Brilliant.

Did Seth ever acknowledge the terrible working conditions at his animation studio?

The 2012 series felt like a lifetime ago. And while I found the recent show hilarious, I wanted something aimed at older audiences.

There have been no new games, and the comic is about to go on hiatus.
