TMNT 2012 Opening Sequence

Lyrics

Here we Go! It's the lean green ninja team
On the scene, cool teens doing ninja things
So extreme, up the sewers like a laser beam
get rocked with the shell shock pizza kings
Can't stop these radical dudes
The secret of the ooze, make a chosen few
emerge from the shadows to make their move
The good guys win and the bad guys loose

Leonardo is the leader in blue, does anything it takes to get his ninjas through
Donatello is the fellow, has the way with machines
Raphael has the most attitude on the team
Michealangelo he is one of a kind, and you know where to find him when it's party time
Master Splinter taught them every single skill that they need
to be one mean, lean, green incredible team

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles SOLD!!

MTV Networks and it's Nickelodeon branch have bought the TMNT. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are no longer Mirage properties. Ex-owner and co-creator Peter Laird got himself 60 million bucks. The belief is currently that Mirage will disband entirely soon, but even if they don't they will move on to new things that have nothing to do with the Turtles, so it will be just the name "Mirage Studios" that stays - kinda like "Walt Disney" without Mickey Mouse.

This is not a rumor, Peter Laird confirmed the total sale of the TMNT - read all about it on his blog.

Well... what can I say guys... I feel totally weird right now.

I didn't imagine something like this will ever happen. I was always wondering why Kevin Eastman abandoned the Turtles. I didn't imagine that Pete will leave them behind as well...

Can you imagine George Lucas selling "Star Wars" for example?!

That was the greatest thing about Mirage and TMNT - independency and creative control over your own brainchild!!

Damn it, with all due respect, I really don't get it, why would you sell such a thing?! OK, if you're tired of it you can cast a team of creative people to go with it and you just supervise the whole process, meet once in a while with your team and discuss with them in what direction the Turtles should go...

But SELLING THEM?! Damn it, I would never ever do such a thing, especially with the work of my life, because honestly - 25 years you devoted to this thing!! How would you feel if now they just take it and ruin it and you can do nothing about it? I know that some crap things have come out in the past, like Venus de Milo & Next Mutation misunderstandings, so maybe you sorta know the feeling...

Now there's nothing left for us fans, except to hope that Nickleodeon will be up to the challenge not to disappoint us...

Poster of the Week #24 - Turtles Forever

It's the Turtles' 25th Anniversary, and what better way to c elebrate it than bring out a new movie!! "Turtles Forever" is the ultimate treat for all TMNT fans out there, where the new (4Kids TV series) Turtles meet the classic ones from the 80s series, and as far as I know the original Turtles from Eastman and Laird's firts comic books will also appear!!

Cowabanga!

Happy Anniversary!

Looks like somebody's not so TEEN anymore!
2009 our beloved antropomorphic comic book heroes turn 25 ;)

Peter Laird and Mirage Studios are cooking up some serious celebration and looks like the fans are going to have a shell of a time! And until then - nothing better to do but sit back and enjoy the seventh season of the new animated series. In season 6, "Fast Forward", the turtles were a real blast from the past as they found themselves in 2105, and now they're finally "Back to the Sewres".
