I thought this trailer and style looked KICK-ASS! I really got a charge out of it- reminded me of why I liked the series in the first place.
Oh, and the Foot were actual human ninjas as well... not robots. I wonder if they'll go that route.
As a side note, do any Turtles fans know that the Turtles share their origin with Matt Murdoch... aka Daredevil?

Full CGI. And just titled 'TMNT'.

How do theys share their origin with Daredevil? And where does one procure trade paperbacks of Eastman and Lairds original works? I would very, very much like to read them.
I can't play the trailer! ARRG!

I'm not sure if the collections are still in print. Sorry.
Part of the fun of the whole TMNT series was that it was entirely based on being a parody of Daredevil, most specifically the great original Frank Miller run. Matt Murdoch (per the older origin- I don't know if its changed) was blinded as a child by an accident in which a tube of toxic thing-a-ma-bob stuff fell off a vehicle and struck him in the eyes. In TMNT the canister rolled into a storm drain and fell to the sewers and broke. The substance was then what mutated a rat and four discarded pet turtles into the characters we know. The first issue of TMNT shows the kid getting hit in the eyes.
Daredevil and Elektra were trained by Master Shaft. The rat in TMNT of course becomes Master Splinter... get it? The ninja bad-guys in Daredevil are 'The Hand'... in TMNT- 'The Foot'.

You'd think that they'd have reprinted them. I'd really love to read them.

LOL- I was a Miller 'Daredevil' junkie back in the day (who wasn't?) and TMNT came shortly thereafter. What's REALLY funny- and I'll have to do a video capture someday of it- is a videotape I have of an interview Eastman and Laird at a comic convention from around that time. TMNT had become a popular small press comic but nobody outside of the direct sales comic world had heard of them. They're quoted as saying somrthing along the lines of "Well, we were approached by an animation company about doing a cartoon... but we doubt that THAT will ever go anywhere." HAHAHA... so sayeth the soon to be millionaires! Kevin Eastman who would soon buy and become publisher of 'Heavy Metal' magazine and marry model/actress/amazon Julie Strain.
Oh and notice that the Turtles once were drawn with tails... but they were deemed too phallic to include in a kiddie show so they were removed!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

In fact, I was just explaining the Daredevil/Turtles connection to my co-worker at work tonight - the connection is the ooze - the same stuff that made Murdoch blind made the Turtles big mutant turtles.

I TOTALLY AGREE. RICARDO AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT THE OTHER DAY. THE TRAILER LOOKED PRETTY COOL UNTIL THE I SAW THE "GOOFY" ENDING. IT'S GOING TO BE AIMED AT KIDS WITHOUT A DOUBT.

About the pupils. The new cartoon uses pupil-less turtles like the comics and it's fine for the show. So it might have been fine for this too. i'm not sure but i think turtles have this second eye-lid that's transparent which they use underwater. Maybe these turtles have glow-in-the-dark versions of the same thing? The way the eyes look now is odd to me since they don't seem to blink.

I beg to differ. Part of the charm of the original comic was its goofiness. Mikey falling in a dumpster and yelping "I'm OK" seems completely in character. Personally, I'm hoping that a CG TMNT flick will allow the producers to amp up the violence a little more than the live action films.
Of course, what would have been truly fun is a TMNT film aping the style in which Rodriguez and Miller did Sin City.
