Kevin Eastman voice acting in future episode.

[Redeemer]

Did anyone see this????http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2014/02/26/kevin-eastman-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-animated-series/5846861/
Apparently Kevin Eastman will be voicing a mutated cat :lol:

[Coola Yagami]

So... noone commented on the classic TMNT, April and Casey appearing in a clip within that same link? Dude, they even kept the original 80's background music!!!!

[909 Turtle Fan]

Cool info. I wonder if OT Casey is going to be portrayed the same or if he will be more of a member of the group.

[BabyTurtles]

so Eastman is ICKitty??????

wow Mikey that was fast :teek: You literally had that kitty for 9 seconds.

[Shark_Blade]

Oh God that clip was hilarious. :lol: It's kinda horrifying too, thought the cat was totally dead.

OMG OT turtles!!!! There's OT Casey too!!

LOVE IT!! :tlove::tlove:

[victory_angel]

The cat mutating was all kinds of wrong.

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

Man I wish they would do more with the 87 Turtles but I will take what I can get. Also Kevin Eastman is prolific in his role as a cat. LOL. I even have a special pun that I just made up that might make a good name for his character. He is one COOL CAT. Get it? Ok I will sell my cpu now for infecting the world with that.

[BabyTurtles]

The cat mutating was all kinds of wrong.

I know right :lol: it just melted away~

Don't give your kitty to Mikey.

[Shark_Blade]

Will she be living in their fridge from now on? :3

[BabyTurtles]

Will she be living in their fridge from now on? :3

I guess....maybe an igloo cooler for around the house?

[Redeemer]

My computer would not load the clip :(
Might be why no one else noticed as well.

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

Really April should keep anything that she likes away from the Turtles because it could wind up getting mutated. First her dad and now a cat!? Oh the humanity! LOL! This reminds me of the ep of The Office where Dwight mercy kills Angela's cat and she cries and he comforts her by saying her cat is in a better place and then says "and by a better place I mean in your freezer..." LOL.

yea....if I was April I'd let Irma take care of my stuff..............I wouldn't give my kitty to a turtle in a lab full of mutagen.

hopefully she learns this time :D

They raised a good point about Splinter too! What was she thinking?! For someone with mental powers she doesn't seem to be all that intuitive. LOL.

[BabyTurtles]

Her powers come and go. XD

I also think Casey secretly wanted the kitty to eat Splinter :lol:

[CyberCubed]

So Nick Mikey just called the Fred Wolf Turtles, "dorks," which is not unlike how the 4kids Turtles viewed them.

Are people now going to accuse Nick for hating on the OT like they did with 4kids in Turtles Forever?

don't look at me XD I didn't mind when 4kids did it XD so I don't mind Mikey doing it.

[NinjaMan]

So March 14 is an hour long special with TigerClaw and the Kraang?? Nice!

[Shark_Blade]

So Nick Mikey just called the Fred Wolf Turtles, "dorks," which is not unlike how the 4kids Turtles viewed them.

I mind and I am ENRAGEDD BY IT!!! :x:x









..not. :trazz: See, we gotta watch the whole episode in it's entirety. I trust Ciro and his team to handle it with care. :tcool:

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if OT April or Casey will talk since I don't think they got their voice actors to come to Nick to record. I remember it only being the 4 Turtles, (well technically 3 since Rob Paulsen is already at Nick)

[Shark_Blade]

I don't think OT Casey and OT April ever interacted back then, so it's kinda surreal for me to see them together in one scene.

I just started watching OT last year btw thanks to the turtle van dvd issuance. :D

http://i.imgur.com/mMMOqAq.jpg

[CyberCubed]

I don't think OT Casey and OT April ever interacted back then, so it's kinda surreal for me to see them together in one scene.

They interact in both Season 7 and 8.

[Shark_Blade]

They interact in both Season 7 and 8.

Ah gotcha, I was only up to Season 3 so far. :P

Casey was such a nutcase in "Casey Jones: Outlaw Hero" and “Corporate Raiders from Dimension X” I love it.

[CyberCubed]

From what Ciro said this is only going to be one short scene, which is a shame since I thought it was going to be a whole episode thing. Maybe next time.

[Storm Eagle]

I thought it was the second dumbest concept this show came up with after the squirreloids(spelling?) and hopefully reversible. Kevin Eastman actually voicing that ridiculous thing? Well...he does let a lot of things slide mostly for the better so I am okay with it... if that poor animal gets returned to normal.

Seriously. It almost makes me want to stop watching, or just simply wish I never got into Ninja Turtles. Then again, Donatello was working on retro-mutagen, so maybe it'll at least bring the cat back to normal.

[Roseangelo]

OMG, I love ice cream kitty. That clip is hilarious.

[Shark_Blade]

Seriously. It almost makes me want to stop watching, or just simply wish I never got into Ninja Turtles. Then again, Donatello was working on retro-mutagen, so maybe it'll at least bring the cat back to normal.Why? Something upset you?

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

Well that was just horrifying...

[BabyTurtles]

noway! the Kitty looks so much better as a mutant *_*

if we are going to cure someone at least cure a mutant that looks lame T^T

[TheBlueTurtle1]

LOL that clip was awesome, can't believe the 80s Casey was there!

[METALHEAD]

The cat mutating was all kinds of wrong.
apprently you dont own cats. cats get into alls kinds of ****.
doesn't surprise me that the cat did what he did...its like my cat
when he licked that salsa i had in the counter. dumbass...

[Garfield]

The scene with the cat was very macabre... then it turned into a pokemon.


Kevin Eastman voicing it? that's fine by me. Get 'em in there.

[ZariusTwo]

I'm with Storm here, this show continues to degenerate into something more and more juvenile. :roll:

I don't take any crticisms of the forthcoming movie seriously when people are quick to appreciate this stuff.

[Zulithe]

You don't seem to mind the juvenile nature of the OT. Nick TMNT runs circles around it just about every way. I think this show has a really good grasp on tone: it knows it has to balance comedy, action, drama, even a bit of horror, and it does it in a very skillful way. Mikey's antics are a little exaggerated but it matches up really well for me.

Criticism of the upcoming movie is different, because people are basing their opinions on a few poor quality photos of toys, props and actors in motion capture suits with no CGI yet applied. Now once we get an actual trailer THEN people can start formulating some feelings based on something a little more representative of the film, until then it's conjecture, so of course it's not serious. The people posting it could change their opinion the second they see the trailer for all they know.

People bashing the new movie designs based on the little info we have should try to hold their horses a bit. Do people need reminding about the fairly recent uproar over Nick Karai and her hair when she was first revealed? People went BATSHIT, so many people were hating on it and making all sorts of unreasonable comments about the quality of her design and on and on. Turns out most people actually really like it once they aren't basing all of their thoughts on one out-of-context image.

I'm not that excited about the movie designs but I don't feel I have enough info to fully judge it just yet.
So Nick Mikey just called the Fred Wolf Turtles, "dorks," which is not unlike how the 4kids Turtles viewed them.

Are people now going to accuse Nick for hating on the OT like they did with 4kids in Turtles Forever?I think it's pretty accurate to how Nick Mikey would feel to be honest. And it's no secret Ciro feels the same way. I hope it's not handled exactly like it was in 4kids, simply because it's already been done. Will be interesting.

[RaphAndDonnie]

The cat mutating, wow :teek: Also, OT turtles! Sure it's probably not gonna be a full length special with them but more little mentions and nods are good enough for me.

[Shark_Blade]

I'm with Storm here, this show continues to degenerate into something more and more juvenile. :roll:

You're just too tame and can't handle stuff like this. Switch to spongebob, adventure time or anything fluffy if you can't deal with it. Time changes, kids can handle it just fine. ;) :tcool:

Hell I saw a video clip of a very young boy asking where Slash is after watching Slash and Destroy. He's fine. Nothing to complain there.

What's more, tmnt started out very dark and gritty in mirage comic. It stays close to the original source material imo as much as it can. Ciro and his team has done a great job, well done lads!

100% agree with you on everything you said:)

[VaughnMichael]

Well that was just horrifying...
Yeah I'm on the same page and hell I thought Tim's mutation was sick.

[blindturtle02]

Our cats tend to enjoy watching other felines on youtube and TV, so I hope they're asleep during the mutation sceen! haha Bet there will be an ICK pack-in with some Mikey figure down the line. Glad to have Eastman as a part of TMNT 2012, even if all he'll have to say is meow.

[CyberCubed]

People are actually getting butt-hurt over the cat mutating? What the hell?

If we saw April's cat before this episode and got attached to it I could understand, but who cares?

[Storm Eagle]

noway! the Kitty looks so much better as a mutant *_*

if we are going to cure someone at least cure a mutant that looks lame T^T
It looked plenty tame to me. Besides, I wouldn't mind if Chris, Vic, Snake, and Xever were cured.
apprently you dont own cats. cats get into alls kinds of ****.
doesn't surprise me that the cat did what he did...its like my cat
when he licked that salsa i had in the counter. dumbass...

You call it a dumbass and you still have it?

Cats and dogs are apt to go for food if it's left unattended, or even if it isn't. My cat used to try to get to food if I was trying to eat, but I'd just shove it back lightly in the face. After a while, he stopped completely. He doesn't even so much as beg. It was even the same almost when I'd eat at a friend's house when I was staying with her, when her dogs would always come up to me and just sit at my feet. They'd be expecting me to share, but I'd always just ignore them.

[CyberCubed]

Seriously. It almost makes me want to stop watching, or just simply wish I never got into Ninja Turtles. .

So one small scene makes you wish you never got into Ninja Turtles in general, the entire franchise?

I'm sorry but,

:lol:

Being able to voice an animated character is a pretty huge deal imo. Like movie stars, you kept a part of yourself immortalised so to speak, passing through generations, being a part of history. Even when you're gone, it still lives on. It's an honor and privilege, even for uttering a single meow.

I saw an Apprentice episode once and the winner gets to voice a background character in Over The Hedge. He just screamed and gasped in shock, but must be able to do it with feelings to get the green light and put into the movie by the creators (only one of the two winners was accepted).

So yeah, even a small part, I reckon it's really something heh. :D

[BubblyShell22]

That's hilarious that Kevin is voicing ICK. Nothing wrong with voicing a cat though. Hell, Jay Leno voiced Kitty on South Park, and he did a pretty good job with it.

[blindturtle02]

Exactly! I think it's a real trip. That has to be a seriously fun gig.

[Teddy]

Ok, that cat mutation was just horrifying. O.O

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Yeesh, the cat's mutation was horrifying. It gave me chills. Nice going, Mikey!:oops:

I loved how Mikey called the OT characters "dorks". It just shows the contrast between the OT and the 2012 toon.

[Shark_Blade]

I find it funny that Mikey didn't realize they are dorks themselves. :tlol:

[blindturtle02]

I find it funny that Mikey didn't realize they are dorks themselves. :tlol:

Yeah Shark_Blade, guess he's just spouting off as usual. 2012 Mikey says allot of things before thinking them through, I guess. His brain hasn't quite caught up to his mouth yet! haha

About the kitty... Haven't seen the clip yet because I'm trying so very hard not to spoil the episode for myself but if he wasn't yowling in pain, I'm sure it wasn't that bad. Is it a boy or girl btw? Now I'm tempted to, "take a wisten" as Eddie Murphy would say.

[Vicky82]

Wow I thought that cat mutating into Ice Cream Kitty was pretty gruesome, I thought the cat died at first. I'm surprised this got past the censors and the episode Insane in the Membraine didn't.

[JTH]

I didn't realize this was it's own thread, that fact they were able to keep Kevin Eastman voicing ICK a secret until right before the episode is all kinds of awesome.

Usually with the internet now a days, stuff like this would have been leaked months ago.

[SwiftNinjaFox]

So Nick Mikey just called the Fred Wolf Turtles, "dorks," which is not unlike how the 4kids Turtles viewed them.

Are people now going to accuse Nick for hating on the OT like they did with 4kids in Turtles Forever?

I thought that was funny, actually. Because the 2k3 turtles thought the OT turtles were dorks and the Mirage turtles seemed to think the 2k3 turtles were dorks. ;)

[BabyTurtles]

I thought that was funny, actually. Because the 2k3 turtles thought the OT turtles were dorks and the Mirage turtles seemed to think the 2k3 turtles were dorks. ;)

I bet the OT turtles will think 2012 turtles are dorks too.

I still hate her hair. It pulls an optical illusion and when she turns or I see her at a glance I sometimes have to double take because the blonde part blends to her ears and it looks like she has elf ears. :P

Actually I am a cat owner. I don't have any cats aside from the my landlady's cat at this time. But I also remember the moment when my cat Penelope passed away. So it wasn't so much the cat licking the mutagen ice cream it was how it reacted to the mutagen process that was all kinds of wrong.

[TurtleTitan97]

"It's us! Why do we look like dorks?":tlol: Oh, Mikey.

And that's awesome that Kevin's doing ICK. Can't wait for this episode.:tsmile:

I wonder if at least one of the writers is a cat lover. We've seen more than one so far, haven't we? At least I'd think someone on the staff is a cat owner because getting into mutagen is exactly what my two furry little gremlins would do. That mutation sceen does sound rather disturbing, however. Got some pursout of my tonkanese. What a monster!

[JTH]

Mikey may have been the only one to say something, but they all had the same reaction.

Casey & April's reaction is like "What in the hell is that?"

[CyberCubed]

The amount of people complaining about a stupid CG cat melting and turning into ice cream is ridiculous.

I bet some animal rights casuals will start trolling Ciro on Facebook and tumblr again just like those femi-Nazi's did when Ciro spoke about female roles a few months back.

[BubblyShell22]

They weren't complaining about ICK melting, just mentioning that it was shocking. I haven't seen the clip either as I want to be surprised, too, but I'm sure I'll be shocked by it, too.

[BabyTurtles]

Mikey may have been the only one to say something, but they all had the same reaction.

I'm not sure Casey and April will know right away.

Mikey might try to hide ICK. XD which would be funny.

Oh, I was talking about 87' cameo, their faces are as priceless as the turtles.

It's not dead, and that's good. I'd like for it to go back to normal, but hopefully nothing else bad will happen.

[BabyTurtles]

Oh, I was talking about 87' cameo, their faces are as priceless as the turtles.

I bet they were thinking "why are we so old?" XD

[CyberCubed]

They missed an opportunity here to bring Old Hob into the cartoon.

[BabyTurtles]

They missed an opportunity here to bring Old Hob into the cartoon.

maybe XD but they gotta make their own characters sometimes.

[Vundi]

My God! That was terrifying!

[Shark_Blade]

My God! That was terrifying!

It is, isn't it? I love this show. :D

[Coola Yagami]

Yeah... the cat melting away was kinda gross, but at least it didn't scream in agony like Vic or Snake did. That's what my girlfriend was most worried about.

I kinda think the cat looked stoned and messed up when it was normal. I think to kinda 'soften the blow' they made a mangy beat up old cat mutate into an adorable Ice Cream Kitty. XD He honestly does look cuter mutated.

I think it woulda been worse if it was cute widdle fluffy kitten that was melted. Hell, when I saw the models for ICK before, I thought it was a lil kitten that mutated.

And Cubed, don't be such a jerk. Be more sensitive towards other peoples' feelings. Do you have any idea how the real world works... and I mean outside your house and not just the stereotypes shown on tv and movies?

[Shark_Blade]

Yeah... the cat melting away was kinda gross, but at least it didn't scream in agony like Vic or Snake did. That's what my girlfriend was most worried about.I like how Timothy scream in agony though (he's a lame fictional character so I don't much care for him). He finally recognize the consequences and pain when Donnie and the rest persistently told him not to be mutated.

Kinda like prohibiting kids not to touch a steaming kettle. Some won't get the message until they touched it.

The kitty mutating didn't bother me.

but when Tim mutated I had nightmares about a organ filled blob in the corner of my room 2 days in a row....:cry: I even refused to see the episode for the longest time.

[NinjaMan]

Can't wait for that Tiger Claw episode. More excited for him than Bebop and Rocksteady.

[FoxBoxKid]

Can't wait for that Tiger Claw episode. More excited for him than Bebop and Rocksteady.

I keep hearing about Bebop and Rocksteady being on the Nick show, but are they actually confirmed, and if so, link? On the subject of Ice Cream Kitty, she honestly freaks the crud out of me. I really hope she doesn't appear often. :tcouch:

[VaughnMichael]

I still wont watch it lol

[MikeandRaph87]

So... noone commented on the classic TMNT, April and Casey appearing in a clip within that same link? Dude, they even kept the original 80's background music!!!!

Not all of us looked at the link only the title which did not happen to mention it.

It is a surprise to see Casey Jones with the turtles. After Cyber Turtles I thought I would never see a sixth appearance by the character.Pretty cool. Hopefully we will get more than tease of the '87 set and they are done justice. I know its the Nick cartoon but those characters are the best!

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'm imagining a Batman special where a dark Batman views the 60s version and says "I look ridiculous".

[blindturtle02]

I had nightmares too. I kept gearing myself up to rewatch that episode and finally just watched Timothy's mutation sceen over and over until I was desensitized to it. Of course for me it was more left to the imagination, but regardless, I haven't seen anything that's creeped me out that much in ages. Seriously, I didn't have much of an appetite for a couple days, and I like things like Walking Dead and Resident Evil. As far as kitty goes, sounds like that'll be a walk in the park compared to Pulverizer Returns. PR is still one of my fav eps because it appealed to the horror genre fan in me. ICK sounds like she's going to be a blast and can't wait to see Mikey attempting to get himself out of this one.

yea...there's something about Tim's mutation that's just horrifying. (I couldn't eat much either XD) This show......

I can't wait for this new episode! it's gonna be fun I'm sure! :D
I need a break from all the kraang stuff too.......

[Ninjinister]

It is, isn't it? I love this show. :D

Seriously. The dark, messed up moments are my favorite parts.

[CyberCubed]

People have nightmares over mutations in a kids show? How? Why?

This show is extremely tame. I can see 6 year olds being creeped out by things but fully grown adults?

I don't know XD I just let my imagination get the best of me and made it more horrifying than it actually was.

There's something really tragic about an ignorant guy getting hurt because he didn't know better......He mutated himself cause he wanted to be cool and instantly regretted it.

it's just so dark and sad. :cry:

[pannoni1]

Thanks for providing these previews, just enough not to overspoil, and cool to see a photo of Kevin while voicing the kitty. Anybody who's a fan of Hello Kitty should watch this episode, and it does show that Mikey is the recurring troublemaker of this series, and while it may startle some kids, I just view it as somewhat hilarious rather than scary, though with a bit of sadness for those who like ice cream and cute cats. I'll have to say not many creators of popular brands have voiced a single character in any animated production. But I'm looking forward to see how ICK will turn out, since TMNT still doesn't have a definitive cat mutant: You have Scratch for the G1 toyline/third Game Boy game, Old Hob for IDW, and April as a Cat in the OT. ICK will likely belong in that same breathen.

[CyberCubed]

Ick is just a pet rather than a character. It's not a new mutant ally or enemy.

This. The plot twist was altogether unexpected for me because I hadn't read any spoilers about upcoming characters at the time. I wasn't sure where they were going to take Tim, but I had no idea his path would be so dark and agonizing until the very second he began screaming. I don't think I've ever seen a comic relief character turn a complete 180 like this. Of course, I presumed him to be comic relief and nothing more, but that just goes to show me how brilliant the writing staff is. Granted, there have probably been other stories like this one that take place in comics and other media, but I don't recall coming across any that have turned the blood in my vains to ice water as much as this one did. Felt very similar to something out of Tales From The Crypt. Shock value doing its work, I guess? I dunno, Cubed. That's an interesting question to ponder as to why stuff like this effects some more than others. I still eat it up like... Well, like ice cream. Glad we live in an age where the restrictions aren't as insane as the 90's when Mikey had to trade in his chucks for a grappling hook and Thanos had to refer to Death as Chaos in Silver Surfer TAS etc.

[BabyTurtles]

Ick is just a pet rather than a character. It's not a new mutant ally or enemy.

heeey! ICK was shown clawing at Rat King! I consider her a mutant ally! :D

[Lou 500]

I like the dark twists and surprises this show sometimes throws at us. I want to see more!

[BubblyShell22]

Knowing them, pretty dark. I like dark though, and I have faith that they'll do a good job with the stories. I'm still eagerly awaiting the Leo one shot where he gets attacked by the Foot.

I'm eagerly awaiting a Mikey....anything important. :cry:

You Leo and Donnie fans are lucky.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Ciro did say it was gonna get darker...but how dark can you get!? :teek:

As far they can go I guess but I'm all for it! ;)

[Andrew NDB]

I doubt it would ever get much "darker" than something like "The Gauntlet," but that's perfectly reasonable in a show like this, for who it's for.

I think it already has gotten darker......

Kirby and Tim's mutations were pretty darn dark XD

and a bunch of creepy things have happened since the Gantlet....

Hey, think of what us Leo fans had to deal with in the 80s series, we've been finally getting our justice!

I hope they do more with the 80s turtles, like the idea some one had of all the turtles from every series crossing over like that, would be pretty cool :D

[BubblyShell22]

No, Leo had a lot of episodes in the 80's series. I think he had less screen time in Fast Forward than in the 80's series if you're talking about episodes devoted to him.

[Gabriel GP]

Man, I really hope that you are talking specifically about the fast foward season, cuz if you are talking about the 2003 turtles in general, you couldn't be more wrong. The thing that I and almost everyone complain about 2003 series is the fact that the show could easily be called Leonardo and the turtles, in the fourth season got even worse. Seriously, reached a point where I found myself only waiting to see Leo showing himself as the Batman.

[saber16]

They missed an opportunity here to bring Old Hob into the cartoon.

The way I see it, Tigerclaw may be their own take on the character.

[BubblyShell22]

Gabriel, I did say Fast Forward and not the rest of 2K3. Yeah, I agree that it could have been called the Leo show, but hey, I wasn't going to complain since I'm a Leo fan. Whereas Fast Forward was pretty much the Mikey, Don, and Cody show, with Leo and Raph and Splinter in it. So, yeah, that's how I see it.

[CyberCubed]

Tiger Claw seems nothing like Old hob though.

Are you talking about the Leo fight like the one in the comics and 2k3 toon? Has it been confirmed that they are going to follow that path for sure? Or could they go the route that the 1990 flick did, and have it Raph be the one to get jumped.

Also, back to the thread at hand, why is it that Kevin Eastman seems to get all of the glory with the TMNT compared to Peter Laird?

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, I am talking about the Leo fight, and Ciro did confirm that they were going to do that because it's always been his dream to adapt that story, so I think they'll keep it to being Leo who gets attacked by the Foot.

And the reason Kevin is getting all the glory is because he's still involved with TMNT whereas Peter pretty much gave up on it after selling the rights to Nick because he felt burned out. I don't think it's a big deal since at least one of the creators is getting involved with the show, and that's awesome.

They only change things like that for the films, for some reason they feel the films must be about Raph half percent of the time. They haven't done that in any series as far as I know.

I'm really looking forward to that one :D

[CyberCubed]

Did they really need Kevin to voice the ice cream cat? All it did was make strange noises.

[BubblyShell22]

No, they didn't, but he still did a good job.

[Vicky82]

If he didn't voice ICK then I expect Frank Welker would have done it.

[BabyTurtles]

someone had to do it XD and Kevin probably thought it'd be fun~ so why not? :D

[Donatello19]

I dont understand why they made a big deal out of him "voicing" it...all I heard was cat noises..?

[CyberCubed]

Agreed I'd prefer seeing Kevin voice an actual character. Maybe someone down the road?

Are you sure about that? I thought Kevin was the one that got burned out, or fed up or something, and sold his complete share of the property to Peter Laird first, before Peter Laird was the one who sold out to Nick.

And who in the feck is ciro???? Never heard of the person.

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

If he didn't voice ICK then I expect Frank Welker would have done it.

Which would be fine with me. Frank is a legend. Ray Stantz alone makes him that.

[Shark_Blade]

I doubt it would ever get much "darker" than something like "The Gauntlet," but that's perfectly reasonable in a show like this, for who it's for.I feel Slash and Destroy is much darker than The Gauntlet.

Define how much darker you meant? What you meant dark like Hannibal? With blood spatter on the wall or molten body parts with mushrooms growing out of them? Tell me, I'm all gore. 8) It serves little to no purpose in tmnt though.

Pah, it's darker than any other toon shows at the moment tbh. Hold that; NO other toon shows are as entertaining and as dark as this show at the moment imo. ;)

Bravo Ciro and Nick team, you're doing a great job on this show so far. Keep it up!

Kev was burned out and sold it to Pete. Pete did a bunch of cool stuff for about a decade until he too was burned out & sold it to Nick. Then Kev was un-burnt and came back after the buyout to be a part of the IDW comics.

& Ciro, for God's sake, is the creator of the Nick series (& arguably the best creative mind to hit the property since the original Mirage guys).

yea..I don't want it to get any more darker actually...it's starting to creep me out a bit.

I enjoy eating with my shows XD

In short, he's basically the guy in charge of this show. He also worked on the original Teen Titans cartoon, and is the creator of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!, an extremely underrated and awesome animated series that was canceled way to soon in its prime.

Eh, the only shows I watched on Nick were the live action type. I could never get into their toons, weren't my thing I guess. I've seen like some of the first season episodes, but sometimes its good, sometimes its stupid. I personally think the best incarnation of the boys goes to the first live action movie.

Neither of those show mentioned were on Nickelodeon.

With both him and Fred Tatasciore in previous episodes, they didn't have any lack of animal noise actors to choose from. Plus Dee Bradley Baker and Kimlinh Tran do stellar work as well - especially Tran and her cat sounds.

Wait? He did SRMTHYG? No wonder that anime reminded me of it XD.... and I loved the Teen Titans show Greg Cipes is awesome as both BB and Mickey...

[Warhorse]

Well, like I said, I never watched their toons when I was a kid, so I wouldn't know what was their stuff and what wasn't/ Only shows I can remember watching were Hey Dude, and I think Clarissa Explains it All was on there.

[The Fifth Turtle]

No but it was neat though. I just kept imagining Eastman behind the sound mic making cat noises :lol:

Fingers crossed for more voice work.
