Nick promising new TMNT in 2011?
 

Ninjaturtles.com updated again, with this teaser:

Is the series starting next year?

It doesn't say new TMNT in 2011. It could be the 2k3 series in reruns they are talking about. It'd be nice if it was the new series, but with as little talk as there has been I'd be surprised.

Nick already aired the, "Turtles Forever" movie a few times. The 2k3 series hasn't started there yet, but I doubt they'll wait much longer to start it.

Well... it's progress.

And it's the first "original" piece of TMNT related art to come out of the Nick stable, if I'm not mistaken!

Yeah I saw that about 30 minutes ago and was like :???:

I don't mind a new TMNT cartoon at all but I'd prefer that it wouldn't come before 2015 or 2016, the 2k3 series is still a bit fresh in memory so it's better to let the vast majority of the generation that watched that show to grow up and to allow the franchise to take a break and recharge its batteries so people won't get sick of it.

Considering the new live-action movie reboot is coming in 2012, it makes sense for the new cartoon to start around the same time.

I think it would be better for them to wait a couple more years to release the reboot movie but hey there's nothing I can do about it so better rest my case here, I'm getting more TMNT afterall, I shouldn't whine :P

Hmmm...interesting but still to vague to interpret. Still a "wait and see" kind of thing with them and TMNT. Reairing Turtles Forever is fine and all but we need to know some kind of idea for their original TMNT plan sometime soon.

It seems to me 2k3 won't premier until 2011 which sucks, I think they are going to be treating it like a new show, they did the same with Fantastic Four:WGHs, counting not a lot of people saw 2k3 like with F4 they may get away with it..

Its good that 2k3 will finally get the spotlight it deserved however its old content for all of us and I have a feeling that since they are treating the 2k3 show like a new one it means the real new show won't be out in 2012 but will be delayed a year or so..

That has to be the worst graphics display I have ever seen. The manhole cover is like covering most of the left leg of that sign. Also the weapons look like they got ran over by a steam roller.

Awesome!! I can't wait to find out! :tgrin: That definitely is progress.

The animated weapons there is definitely new art and not based on any 2k3 production art at all.

Also, Mike has nunchucks. No grappling hook. :)

I'd be happy with heavy re-runs of the 2k series....theres still episodes I've never managed to catch....including the Xmas episode based on the old Mikey comic.

I am pleased to see this, that is all.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have the show ready by late next year. Maybe a little sooner than that.

If they started production right after they got the rights in...summer 2009, they would have already 2 full years for the production of the first season of the new show.

A Fall 2011 debut for the new show is very possible.

I don't see why they wouldn't have started production the moment they got the rights, heck thats why they announced the new cartoon would be out in 2012. 2011 will definitely be interesting, its when stuff will begin leaking about the new movie and show.

TURTLE POWER!!!!

I like the weapons, especially Don's bo!

Well, there's this whole "pre-production" thing that has to happen first, that they're just now emerging from. But with all their ducks in a row I bet they can crank something out posthaste.

Agreed, they had to figure out what the hell they wanted to do with this massive property they had acquired, followed by putting a crew together to begins designs, writers to put in a room and brainstorm story ideas, etc.

I hope that Alex D. dude posts here more often with updates!

Don't hold your breath... dude is almost certainly under an iron-clad NDA.

Good news! Its a progress....! :D:D:D:D :twink:

I'm pretty sure they're promoting the new series and not 2k3 reruns.

But who knows...

let´s see, i hope they can offer good things!

I think it isn't the 2k3 series in reruns either. Why?

Well why didn't they use the 2k3 logo and show the generic stock images/art of the 2k3 Turtles we're so used to seeing?

Those weapons there are brand new art and not based on any existing material. If this is just the 2k3 series airing on Nick, it sure doesn't seem like it.

I have a feeling it's the new show and that they're airing it earlier than expected. I think 2012 was probably an estimation of when they'd air it, but they've decided to do it early. That's fine by me, but it depends on when they air it. Since I have a job prospect in the works, I may not be able to see it at all.

This is the age of the internet. Missing something on TV is not a big deal like it was 10 years ago where you were out of luck until it aired again.

would not be great if they pick up were the 2k3 series left??

I know that is hard, but it´ll be cool, i´d like to see more episodes absed on the mirage comics.

No, a fresh start for a new generation of kids makes the most sense.

This series is probably going to be a remake of the original series anyway, using the old toon characters.

Honestly, what's left to do with the 2k3 series?

The Shredder was destroyed, we know of what happens in the future, almost everything seemed resolved. What's left?

On topic of this, I'm not sure what to make of this. I'll just have to wait and see.

I think its the re-runs. They haven't shown these yet and a lot of the Nick audience hasn't seen these as well. To be honest, a LOT of people have missed out on the 2K3 series, i say run it and expose it to as many people as possible because to me nothing will beat this series.

I agree, I liked how it actually ended with Ninja Tribunal. You can only milk the series so much more. Look how horrible the series went after that.

The series ended with the DTV.

That is a pretty badly made teaser. imo

^^ This.....

Its cool to atleast see something coming from them but damn that is very poorly made. Lazy much?

tales vol. 2, tmnt vol. 4. u can make episodes based on those volumes and many other things, but that is my opinion.

Those weapons look amazing!

Well, he did have this to say on Twitter today:

"Can't believe my 3 week hiatus comes to an end today. Just got the call confirming that I start on the TMNT pilot monday morning."

I'm not sure how long it takes to produce a full season of a modern cartoon, but we could see something in 2011 besides the 2k3 series. I dunno. I'm just glad that things are starting to move. I was getting tired of all the silence.

Yeah, what's the turn around time for CGI? I remember hearing that the turn around time for The Simpsons was 2 years. That was a long time ago and obviously traditional animation, which is an entirely different organism.
