TMNT Movie Just Released!

Any person who knows me will also know that I'm an avid Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan... even back to the days of those crazy 1980s cartoons. Since then it's spawned off all sorts of memorabilia - action figures, games, bags, towels, clothes... you name it! Even TMNT costumes, which I personally found quite amusing. It's always interesting to see little kids running around in horribly inaccurate green TMNT costumes inoblivious to the fact that to me they just look like a jumping, hyperactive Freddo Frog ad. Mmmmm.... chocolate!

ANYWAY! Back to the point. Few people may know this, but just a couple of years ago, a new TMNT cartoon series was shown live on air on Cheez TV. The cartoon series was quite well made, with a more serious side and darker presentation. However, the whole TMNT franchise has still been relatively dormant in the eyes of the general public for the past 15 years. Well, Warner Bros. is aiming to change that all with this new TMNT animated movie. It even has A list celebrities voicing the characters: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Patrick Stewart, Laurence Fishburne and Zhang Zi Yi to name a few.

So get your nunchucks twirling and your pizza ready, because the release date was the 22nd March 2007 for Victoria, and 27th March for other states. Cowabunga dudes!
