Pictures of the Fred Wolf building and buildings used for recording dialogue/voices

You read a religious item, such as a Bible, and are mystified as to where to celebrate/visit. Those followers seek to visit the Mosque/Cathedral at some point. Well, in the Fred Wolf universe, I find these three buildings the most important, and if you ever visit/live in the LA area, be sure to drive by these. It will make you say, "Cowabunga! That's where they made my Turtles!"

Below under the attachments you'll find three pictures. The one on the left is the Fred Wolf building located at 4222 West Burbank Boulevard, now I believe the Aries Art Gallery occupies this. This was where all of the executive decisions were made through the syndicators/CBS.

The picture in the middle is the former B&B Sound Studios at 540 Hollywood Way in Burbank, about a mile and a half west of Nickelodeon's headquarters. All the Voice Actors/directors/Fred Wolf recorded all those famous lines for Seasons 1-4 here. It would be cool if Rob Paulsen and the new cast "returned" to their old places to record the new series!

The one on the right is Screen Music Studios at 11700 Ventura Boluevard in Studio City. It was used for recording Seasons 5-8 and Season 10.

Going there would probably feel like a spiritual pilgrimage for an 80s animation fan! :tsmile:

Season 9's recording studio- still in use

Actually, I just saw Season 9's credits for the first time today, and noticed they used not only a different recording studio that year, but also a different animation studio (Shanghai Morning Sun animation instead of Dai Won used for Seasons 8 and 10). No wonder Season 9 was the worst! Well, the picture on the left here is Marc Graue Recording Studios located at 3421 W. Burbank Boulevard, very close to Nick's HQ. That, of course was where the voice acting was used for season 9. You may or may not have seen that middle photo on Rob Paulsen's Twitter feed, but in that photo is Townsend Coleman, Pat Fraley, "Raphatello", and Cam Clarke, I believe inside the Screen Music Studios, and yes, they're recording a session of TMNT here, around season 5 or so. Finally, I want to give a little insight behind the animation studios. The photo on the right is the interior of what used to be Murakami Wolf Dublin in Ireland, now belonging to Brownbag Films located at Smithfield Market. Those were of course where the infamous Season 3/syndicated Season 4 episodes were animated, but they're still fun nonetheless. Finally, I highly recommend looking at a video or two about Toei in Japan, home of where the great pilot was made!

Thanks for showing this, I'll have to get a view of this myself if I get a chance to visit LA some time.
