Watch The Opening Sequence For The New RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Animated Series
Nickelodeon recently released the opening sequence for their upcoming new cartoon series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The opening sequence also includes a wild new riff on the classic 90s TMNT cartoon opening theme song.
The first trailer for this film completely turned me off. It's hard for me to get past these character designs. But some people seem to dig what this series is going to deliver. Some people are saying that the animation work is innovative, but I'll let you decide what that means to you.
In the end, the series is for kids and this looks like the kind of stuff that they're already used to. It looks like it will certainly stimulate their brains! Also, in case you didn't know, Raphael is the new leader of the Ninja Turtles in this series.
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.
