It’s been over a year since the first meaningful details about Nickelodeon’s new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot were released, and still we were waiting for some kind of trailer or something to give us a hint about what the show would be like. We knew through interviews with Kevin Eastman and the series creators that it would be anime inspired and entirely CG, which immediately concerned some fans. It was also revealed that the show would feature an awesome cast of vocal talents such as Sean Astin, Jason Biggs and Phil LaMarr. Heck, they even created and revealed the first line of toys that were designed and based on the show, and some of those toys even made it to the aftermarket of eBay well before the show had even aired, let alone before Nickelodeon had revealed much of anything about how it would really look. Thankfully, the long wait for that first look that we’ve truly been craving is finally over.
This first official trailer for the new series runs almost a minute and a half long, giving us a proper look at both the style of the show and its focus. Sure, it’s just a trailer, but we can surmise a lot more about the show from it than we can from all the other details we’ve been given up to this point. Here we see our first look at the new turtles, and if this trailer is any indication, we are in for an awesome show! Nickelodeon definitely chose some awesome voice actors for this reboot, and it shows in the trailer as we can already feel the camaraderie between the turtles. In addition, we also get a look at the new Shredder, and he looks just as menacing as ever. Yes, the anime influences are obvious, but they don’t seem to overshadow the story arch in any way. I don’t know about you, but this trailer has gotten me pretty excited about the new show! What did you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Unlike the “ninja Turtels” movie being made by one of the worst filmmakers of all time and some amature he fond I see the Turtle Fandone being divided about this upcoming series. Unlike the movie there are some turtle fans excited about this series.
I unfortunetely can’t give my support to this new series. Don’t get me wrong it’s going to be a billion times better than the movie. but this series is riddled with flaws. The animation looks like it was done under massive buget cuts. Like they only did the bare minimum of CG to get by. I don’t know if you guys have seen the photes of splinter for this but they look like a grade school drawing of a cat. April is a teenager in this (which I think is just dumb). And lastly I was very dissapointed in the voice casting. with the exception of the voice casted for Mikey the all sound completely wrong for their respective charecters.
Jimmy, you make some strong valid points but its still a bit early if you would agree. Some may not agree but the new animations of the turtles seems to be pretty accurate. Nickelodeon did not get carried away with the actual Ninja Turtles by adding technology to their armor as you see in new generation cartoons. Totally appreciate the feedback dude! Cowabunga!!
the best part of the turtles is their soft core comedy. I grew up watching TMNT on Saturday mornings and I can’t wait for this one:)
Zacs,
Totally agree with you. It is truly special to watch cartoons on a Saturday morning!
