Wait and see. Characters can have similar sounding voices, where the acting lies is how the CHARACTERIZATION is pulled off. He may sound like Raph, but if the dialogue and actions are totally Donnie, I'm sure you'll get the heck over it.

I really cant stand the guy that does Mikey's voice....sorry but thats my opinion

Rob Paulsen is a great dude and a staple in 90s animation. I shared these doubts...but I know he'll do a fantastic job.

AcidBurn30 · 09-08-2012, 04:50 AM

because they want Donatello to be more of a smart ass, which i love.. Yeah when he hear Don talking to Raph, it is kinda strange. But i like it..

I have no problem with Rob voicing Donnie. I think he'll do a good job and surprise us with his talent.

k_lala · 09-08-2012, 09:33 AM

I'm glad ppl are excepting don's voice. It's a perfect fit! Seriously would you be happy if Rob was voicing Raph again? It doesn't fit, the characters don't fit! This is not OT!

I'd be happy if Rob Paulsen wasn't on at all.

Vivi · 09-08-2012, 11:48 AM

Rob Paulsen is a legend, he'll pull it off okay. I mean, he doesn't sound alot like a teenager, but seeing as they're mutants you can let things like that slide.

I disagree, I can't get Beast Boy out of my head when I hear Mike talk. The same way I can't get OT Raph out of my head when I hear Don talk.

I disagree, I thought the other Turtles had their moments.

*Slade* · 09-15-2012, 09:55 PM

I wasn't going to complain about this. The only real gripe I had was I was worried about Biggs doing Leo. This morning, I listened to one of those online comics and well I don't know if it was just that one, but I couldn't stand the other three voices. I was surprised that I actually like Biggs. I really heard to much Beast Boy in Mike. Raph in Don and Raphael just sounded like a punk.

But that's not the show and as far as I know, those comics don't really have much emphasis put into them.

Moments, maybe, but with Mikey they tried WAY to hard to make him funny.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 09-15-2012, 10:28 PM

I have to say those comics made me like Rob as Don even more. It just seems a lot better then his Raph.

Agreed. Rob is great as Donnie.

**Jester** · 09-15-2012, 10:46 PM

I like that the fact that Donnie is smart makes him a smart-Alec., and that fits Rob to a "T".

*zkarlette* · 09-15-2012, 10:53 PM

Actually the more I hear it the more I like Rob as Don he does seems to grasp his good nature and character,now if that was just the case with Mike...So far, I'm having a hard time listening to him,I really hope it's only temporary or something.

Mike sounds perfect. He's playing a younger more energetic version of the character and it fits.

*zkarlette* · 09-15-2012, 11:04 PM

Oh,I forgot that Mike needs to sound like an "idiot baby", now everything makes sense,thanks for explaining this to the outmost detail.

**Jester** · 09-15-2012, 11:08 PM

Yikes...Kitty's got claws! Then again, it's not like Z was saying that as a fact. It's, like, her opinion, man.

What on earth? I said he sounds like an energetic kid. Did you ever watch Teen Titans?

I honestly think this is a great Mikey voice, I am not as fond as it as OT's or Movie 1-3 Mikey, but I like it just the same as 4kids Mike.

*zkarlette* · 09-16-2012, 12:09 AM

Sorry for attacking you Cube...*kicks can* ..
I did watch teen titans and I liked the show,for some reason when I watch the clips I find Mike's voice sort of annoying, but I hope that it is temporary.on the 4 kids show Mike's voice sounded way older than this...I just need to adjust to the fact that they are portraying him as a kid or something,and I was used to and liked the older versions of him.
If s*** hits the fan I'll just have to go Raph all the way, and be done with this.

Gyt Kaliba · 09-16-2012, 01:50 PM

Maybe I'm just easy to please, but I think everyone sounded pretty good in the comics vids. Biggs was actually doing pretty nicely as Leo, had a much lighter sound than Sinterniklaas did in the 4Kids toon, but that's only fitting for this show. Sounded kind of nerdy too, which works with the sci-fi show thing.

Cipes is sounding a little...off...as Mikey in a few lines in the comic, but I'm thinking that's more about awkward spacing due to how weirdly the comics seem to load. I am hoping he's a lot less 'ugh' and more actually funny in the show than he was here though. And it actually sounds a little more, voice wise anyway, to Kevin from Ben 10 then it does Beast Boy, to me. Beast Boy's voice was a lot higher pitched.

Paulsen is already knocking it out of the park as Donnie. There was an off line in the comics ('Was it the water?') but again, I think that's just due to the odd playing method there. The acting in all the lines was all top notch.

Also surprising me is how much I'm liking Astin as Raph. He's sounding tough and antagonistic to Leo in all the right places, and in some of the other clips I've heard a certain warmness there too. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a non Brooklyn accented Raph, but it works.

Also really liking Hoon Lee's Splinter.
