Does This First Trailer For RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Sell You on the Series?
Nickelodeon has released the first trailer for their new animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I personally think it looks awful. I already wasn't a fan of the character designs when they were first revealed, but it looks even worse watching them in action. I'm not a big fan of this rise in animation that looks cheap that we're seeing these days. I know the series was made for kids, I just think it's a shame that this is the kind of stuff that they have to grow up with. I've seen some people say it's innovative animation work, but that's obviously not what I'm seeing!
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows the band of brothers - Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo - as they discover new powers and encounter a mystical world they never knew existed beneath the streets of New York City. Co-executive produced by Andy Suriano and Ant Ward, the 26-episode series will debut on Nickelodeon later this year.
The series features the voice talents of Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) as Leonardo, Omar Miller (Ballers) as Raphael, Josh Brener (Silicon Valley) as Donatello, Brandon Mychal Smith (You’re The Worst) as Michelangelo, Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) as April O’Neil and Eric Bauza (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Splinter. The main villain, Baron Draxum, will be voiced by WWE-wrestler, John Cena.
There's still no release date but the teaser trailer says the new series is coming soon.
