There is apparently a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon out now. Prior to just before the writing of this post, I had only heard two things about it. The first was a Facebook post from someone saying they were watching it, and the other was a tweet from Rob Paulsen, who voices Donatello in the new show (and who voiced Raphael in the old 1987 show).
And, so it would seem, that alone was enough to cause me to have a TMNT related dream last night. The dream was in the style of the old 1987 cartoon, even thought it was ostensibly about the new one, since until just before beginning this post I didn't know what the new cartoon even looked like (more on that later).
The first bit was between April O'Neil and Splinter and was a bit meta/4th-wall breaky. They were talking about how the Turtles had moved away from New York, for some reason not well explained in the dream. Apparently, it was just so that the new show would be in a different setting (which it isn't IRL). Strangely, they didn't seem to know where it was exactly that the Turtles had moved to, and they were speculating places like Dallas or San Fransisco and such. Go figure. Splinter mused that he was glad that they hadn't moved to some generically named sewer and April responded with something along the lines of "Yeah, something that could be easily retconned as having been in New York all along." So, it seems, Splinter and April were glad to see the Turtles gone, I guess? >_>;
So now, the dream scene-switched to the Turtles themselves. Right off, I should say that both Raphael and Donatello were speaking with the exact same voice (Raphael's old voice). It was very weird. They were all riding some new hovering devices that kind of looked like Segways but without the wheels attached. Or maybe like the hoverboards those kids were riding in Back to the Future II. Anyway, they were riding around in the sewers (naturally), but somehow ended up at the top of a dam (shades of the NES game I guess). Instead of going off to defuse bombs or whatever, though, they decided to just try to ride their new hover-Segways down the overflow stream from the dam, with Donatello reassuring them that the things worked perfectly well underwater. And... that's about it. That's where the dream ended.
As for the new cartoon... well... I can't really judge since I haven't actually seen it, but I can say that I'm not really a fan of the new rapping intro theme. ¬_¬ The 3D animation looks... interesting enough... but I think I'll reserve judgement on that as well until I've had a chance to actually watch an episode or two. (Though I can't help but think that they look like they're made out of felt, for some strange reason.) That said, it will probably be a long while before I ever get around to doing that. I haven't even watched more than a couple eps of the 2003 cartoon either, for that matter.
