Trailer is up and I must admit just based on the style of animation and the feeling of it all I am already making this one of my must-see movies for 2007. Not because I am a geek or that I watched every cartoon episode as a kid or that I have seen every movie or that I owned the original soundtrack (which I got from Pizza Hut), it's just that I like turtles and ninjas.

Would like to see more darkness than humor so hopefully there is a good balance.

I posted about this yesterday, I think it looks great. Really looking forward to it.

BTW you can see posters of the turtles elsewhere

I need to start collecting posters.

I watched the trailer the other day. Very impressed with the look and feel. I'm on board with more darkness and pathos. I'm not talking Oedipus Rex but something slightly askew would be nice. It might have felt out of place in the old cartoon but this animation looks like it could easily hold it.

Awesome! Unless it's rated PG-13 I'm waiting for DVD... I HATE seeing movies in a theater filled with 3 - 13 year old kids.

Hate to be the resident party pooper, but TMNT?
What's wrong with you guys?
I'd rather golf, to be perfectly honest.

Hopefully April isn't an idiot as well.

I grew up watching this show, and I have not seen a single episode of the new cartoon. I watched about 5-10 minutes of one, and it just wasn't the TMNT that I grew up with. I am definitely going to give the movie a chance though, even though I would much rather see a TMNT 4 all animatronic like the originals =)

Oh, and an animated April? My heart just slumped down inside my chest =/

C'mon deus62, it's the Turtles... you know turtle power and all that jazz. ;^)

The trailer looks pretty good and it leans towards the darker side of things. Everything I've heard about the movie suggests it's going to be similar in tone to the newer cartoon though (which means more humour with action instead of darkness like the original comic).

The saving grace would be that as long as it's not like the over-the-top comedy comic book that was published around the time of the first cartoon I'll definitely go see it.

As an aside, my roommate keeps complaining that they're too skinny. She watches the new cartoon almost religiously. Anyone else have any thoughts on that?
