Hi Kevin, first of all I want to say that I'm not really a Turtles guy. I saw the show in the 80's, and I've even exchanged words with Cam Clarke a couple of times, even gave Rob Paulsen's son some advice, but outside of that I don't really have much interest.
I'm a voice actor, and I'm a picky one. The casting in CGI movies always bugs me. 25 million bucks for Cameron Diaz? Give me a break, you could get Billy West 25 times over for that, and he'd probably be a more convincing woman. One in a hundred of these people actually have any idea what they're doing in front of a microphone, but to be honest, none of them deserve the kind of money they're getting.
You got the casting
right. I have never said this about any general release CGI movie EVER. Of course it's inevitable there's going to be some "names", but if there's any big stars in the trailer, your casting director and your director have done a great job, because I couldn't pick any bad performances out. And I love to do that. It sounds great.
Thanks for using the L.A talent pool, it's very refreshing not to be picking out the big screen hotshots the second a character opens their mouth. I'm probably not going to go see it, but I'm definitely going to buy the DVD, even if it's just out of principle.
