Yeah, I also feel what Buslady is saying. I definitely feel like I connect more with the live action turtles than the CGI ones. Although I've never noticed the problem with the mouth flap, I think it's safe to say that this issue is but a simple timing mistake and can easily be fixed with some audio/visual editing with today's technology. Heck, I bet it wouldn't be too hard to fix back in 1990. They editors probably overlooked those little errors.

I'm also not trying to knock CGI, but there's also that feeling of awe when you see the stunt men perform their moves in those suits. There's a little extra something to the scene when you see a man in a 100 lb suit pull off these cool moves. With CGI/animation, I just don't feel it in the action. I'm not trying to knock the animators either. I know it takes just as much skill as the stunt men to animate the same move in animation.

As for a LOTR/JP style live action CGI, I would love to see something like that being made.
