Animation Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

First comes the script.
Then the right director.
Then the designs (which, with the right director, should be fine).
They should take their time.
Aim at the quality of Steve Barron's first movie from 1990 (at least). Otherwise let it rest.
 
‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Getting Pic Reboot From Nickelodeon & Seth Rogen’s Point Grey – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has learned that Nickelodeon is rebooting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the big screen with Point Grey PicturesSeth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver producing, and Jeff Rowe (Gravity Falls, Connected) directing. Brendan O’Brian (Neighbors: Sorority Rising, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates) will write the screenplay. Paramount will be handling global distribution on the film.

This time around, the feature adaptation of the Kevin Eastman-Peter Laird-created comic book, will be CG animated. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles feature franchise has accumulated $1.15 billion across six movies from three studios since 1990. The last two movies, released by Paramount and Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes in 2014 and 2016, were live-action and together accounted for $730.6M. The last time there was a feature CG version of Turtles was Warner Bros.’ 2007 TMNT ($96M WW).

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie reps Nickelodeon Animation Studio’s first-ever CG theatrical production, in partnership with Ramsey Naito, EVP, Animation Production and Development, who is overseeing production for Nickelodeon. Josh Fagen is overseeing for Point Grey Pictures.

Said Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family for ViacomCBS: “Adding Seth, Evan and James’ genius to the humor and action that’s already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property. I’m looking forward to see what they do, and I know that Ramsey Naito and her team are excited to take the Nick Animation Studio into another great direction with their first-ever CG-animated theatrical.”
 
I think it's just better than live action to do CG animated with TMNT. I wouldn't be mad at live action.

I would do something like Spider-Verse, but with more anime styles
 
At this point try whatever.
 
Not really excited for this... I may well be wrong but I feel animated movies outside the big studios rarely do well.. it's hard, without the big guns backing you like Disney, Pixar etc and I feel that, sometimes the magic is lost. Ofcourse, spider verse did great, but it had spiderman behind it and big backing.

I also cannot stand Seth Rogen's humour...
 
Well they did a CG animated movie in 2007 and it only did moderately well.
Ok and? So they should never try again?

That was a mediocre movie, that wasn't marketed that well, etc. They tried live action in 2016 and that didn't do well either so should they not do live action either?

It's either animated or Live action and I think TMNT lends itself better to animated. Make the animation actually interesting and creative and they have a better shot at making at least a better movie

I mean is there any indication that he's gonna do his standard humor in this movie? He's creatively involved with The Boys, Future Man, and Black Monday and the humor isn't the same in those. And I don't think he would and is he even writing it just producing it under his banner. Jeff Rowe is directing which is more worrying for me. He only has directed one thing and it's not out yet
 
I think it's fair to say live action peaks everyone's interests, more.... and when I say live action, I mean, no cgi turtles.

Kids liking the current show may not like this different version, where as live action you afford it some liberties. And to be honest the new show looks heavily inspired by the recent movies, aesthetically.

I think, in all honesty, this needs to go back to the winning formula of before. Where it's a low budget movie, in terms of production - doesn't need explosions, buildings toppling down, rockets etc... just 4 kids living with their adopted father, coming of age and handling street crime in their area.

Time will tell, but when I see Seth Rogen's name I sigh... as a lot of people may or may not do... due to the association of stoner jokes and childish humour...

Yes.
 
I remember last year, another live action reboot was announced. I’d assume, based on this, either it isn’t happening anymore or it’s unrelated to this.

Honestly, I don't think it matters if it is CG or live action. What they need to do is focus on getting a script that works. The Turtles movies have sadly been bad basically since TMNT 2, though I like that movie in a so bad it's good kind of way. I don't think the animation vs live action is better one way or the other, though I would prefer live action costumes but they won't do that now. They just come with their own pros and cons. What's really going to matter is making a movie that people like.
 
long as they keep micheal bay out of the ninja turtle movies!! i will go for another ninja turtlers movie!! i also didn't like Megan fox as April o neil!! i did liked Stephen Amell as casey johns! mostly cause im an Arrow fan!! i go for another reboot! what i love about the teeange mutant ninja turtlers is they don't seem to reboot them liked batman or spider-man! they kind of wait years before they come out with another ninja turtle movie!! i agree the very first 1990 teeange mutant ninja turtlers is my all time favorite super hero movie & plan movie ever!! now i did enjoy teenage mutnat ninja turtlers 2 secret of the ooze!! i also enjoy teeange mutant ninja turtlers 3!! i also liked tmnt but it wasn't that same! !i did enjoy Nickelodeon's teeange mutant ninja turlters i really enjoyed the second out of shadows better then first one!! i think it was closer to the 1990s Anmited TV series & the comic books!!
 
I don’t enjoy the 2007 film as much as I used to, but I still dig the designs for the turtles.

Doubt we’ll get anything as good or better than this, but we’ll see.
 
Yeah 2 things I'm excited for with animation vs live action
-I feel like you can make the fight scenes a whoooooole lot better when it's animated.
-I feel like there's a lot more leeway with the Turtles designs when they're animated

When that film came out, I remember liking it. But I guess not enough to have watched it since it first it DVD back in the day. I probably should watch it again, but the ones I go back to are the original TMNT and TMNT II. I really haven't watched any of the other ones since they originally came out.
