TMNT Live Action vs TMNT Computer Animated

From the preview of the up coming TMNT movie. Which would you prefur. This being a live action movie like the first 3 or computer animated movie like it is right now

No offense, but how many times is this going to be brought up?

From IMDB:

Why did they go CGI instead of live-action?

Kevin Munroe (the director) and Tom Gray (the producer) explain (in the Super Hero Hype interview) that the reason was because no studio wanted to do another live action TMNT movie, feeling that the (live-action) franchise was dead or had been done, also noting that the movie would've been insanely expensive done live action (another reason the studios passed) but when they pitched it as a CGI it was easier to shop around as they would be able to accomplish everything they could in a big budget live action film but at a fraction of the cost thanks to CGI.

TMNT is a cartoon. CGI is newgen cartoons. It fits^TM.

Liveaction was fun but they didn't move like ninjas and the lips moved funny. Yes with today's technology they could've improved those things but why would real fans want liveaction? Isn't that like saying animation is inferior? I've always considered animation to be superior myself and 3D animation kicks ass. We've had liveaction movies, now let's do real cartoon movies!

Boxwarrior is better than any CGI-animated liveaction cartoon!
