Are You Ready for an All-New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon in 2018

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles LogoI personally think that the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series is the best there has ever been. From the voice actors to the animation and the stories, these have been excellent cartoons. I did not know that the show was ending and today I learned that an All-New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series is coming. Where the 2012 series was very much honoring the past and paying homage to so much of the Turtles’ lore I am being cautiously optimistic about this next series. The voice cast is all new. I enjoy much of what each person in the cast does. the only person I am not familiar with is Kat Graham. The new show is called Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Did you know that that was also the titles of the first two episodes of the first season of the 2012 series? Strange.

the series is being directed by Rob Paulsen s voice directing the series. That at least is great news. Rob has so much experience with the Turtles in that he voiced Raphael in the original and Donatello in the 2012 series. So, I’m cautiously optimistic of this news. Read more about it below.

On October 9 – 11 I attended a Disney Press Event for THOR: RAGNAROK. My hotel and airfare and meals were taken care of while I was in L.A. Opinions and observations as well as recaps and such are all my own. This post will also contain some affiliate links to Amazon.com.

Of all the people that we could have possibly interviewed at the #ThorRagnarokEvent, Karl Urban was my number one pick. I enjoy his movies and was also a fan of a short lived television show that he was in. I was truly excited to find out that he was a great interviewee and a really nice guy. when Karl entered the room he was met with a huge round of applause and was quite surprised. He then went around the whole room and up and down the aisles and shook every blogger’s hand. Thanks to Allison Waken and her camera skills I have a photo of that moment.

In THOR: RAGNAROK Karl plays the character of Skurge who is also called ‘Executioner’ in the comic books. Skurge is often one of Thor’s enemies but he isn’t always. At the start of the movie Skurge is just a guy who is shifty and a bit unsavory, but not a really ‘bad’ guy. He’s a guy who really wants to be accepted by the elite warriors like the warriors three, Fandral (Zachary Levi), Hogun (Tadanobu Asana), and Volstagg (Ray Stevension). He just seems like a guy who would tag along with them and try to impress them but would fall short. Don’t dismiss him out of hand though, he is formidable and he is a warrior. He is also a survivor and will do what he must to stay alive. He does this quickly when he aligns himself with Hela.
