[Movies] Nickelodeon Acquires Global Rights To Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Posted by Larry Csonka on 10.21.2009
A big pick up for Nickelodeon…
Nickelodeon announced in a press release today that they have acquired the global rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand from Mirage Studios, who have had the rights since 1984. They plan to develop a new CG-animated TV series, while Paramount Pictures is developing a new feature film for a 2012 release. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated television series, which is jointly produced by 4Kids Entertainment and Mirage Studios, will continue to air on "TheCW4Kids" Saturday morning programming block on The CW network through Aug. 31, 2010. Cyma Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group had the following comments on the deal…
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shares a comedic sensibility with the Nickelodeon DNA, with added layers of action and fantasy that have kept this property an evergreen favorite with multiple generations of audiences. We are extremely happy to have the opportunity to be able to focus on this property and creatively re-introduce it to a new generation of kids."
you know what TMNT had a really good cartoon on fox a few years ago now that I think about it.

Nickelodeon hasn't made a movie I enjoyed since Harriet The Spy so this is an epic fail.

Alright, ANOTHER new TMNT cartoon that's gonna suck and make us old fat fans hate it.
Fuck Nickelodeon, though. They should air the classic cartoon.

If they get behind this show like they did with Avatar, this could turn out to be pretty awesome.

I still can't believe that first movie is so badass and dark. It even curses. There's no chance the new one will be that way. The action will be better in it but it won't have better story telling.
