Appearence and voices.

What's your opinion on the TMNT's looks and voices in the old toon, the anime toon, The Next Mutation and 2003?

Here's mine,

OLD TOON: As Laird says, the turtles looked too cute here, they're too chubby and don't look like they can hurt anyone. Plus I think the lettering on their belts was a bit childish. The voices don't work for me either, Mikey speeks with a dreadful drone of an American accent, Leo sounds a little too old, Raph's voice doesn't suit the character of a hothead, Don's voice is hard to explain, not really the voice I'd cast for a gadget-master. I know old toon bashing isn't allowed here, but what can I say? At too many times I wanted to cover my ears because the I couldn't stand the sound of the character's voices.

ANIME: Well the animation is a little sleeker than that of the old toon, but the turtles still look kinda puffy. Also I really hate it when the turtles transform, they look way too humanoid. As I don't speek Japanese, no coment on the voice actors.

THE NEXT MUTATION: While Splinter's costume could do better, I must say the turtle costumes really outdo the old toon characters, the muscles and abs make em look like they can hurt someone. Also, am I the only one who thinks Venus is very sexy? I like the NM turtle costumes, not sure sure about the head-bands though. As for the voices, well the voice of Splinter and Venus are the only ones I truely like, but Leo still sounds way too old for the part. Though the voices of Don, Mike and Raph seem to have improved.

THE NEW TOON: As a friend said at www.bondmovies.com the turtles look as though their on steroids. The darker, gangsta look really works in this new show, and I like how in the show the turtles don't have any pupiles or lettering. I think the new show has the best animation and character designs, and all the voices work for me, they chose some perfect voice actors. Leo sounds like his age.
