-- Mikey wanted me to pass this note from Dan Berger TMNT's official d0t com guru::




Many people have been writing in asking why Cartoon Network USA has been showing new episodes of the 4Kids TMNT cartoon before they've been aired on 4Kids TV. From what I've heard, it appears that Cartoon Network was unhappy having to run so many repeats, so as a goodwill gesture 4Kids Entertainment gave CN permission to premiere some episodes (in hopes that ratings would increase). As far as I know, CN will return to airing repeats after this week.

Also, in spite of being able to premiere new episodes, CN has indicated that the ratings that the TMNT show has been getting lately were not up to par with other Miguzi block shows, like "Totally Spies", "Static Shock" and "Teen Titans", if you can believe it. Haven't you folks been watching? In any case, next week Cartoon Network will be moving the show out of the Miguzi block and running it at 2:30 PM every weekday instead. So get your VCR's and TiVo's adjusted accordingly. We think that CN will continue to air the show at that time at least until March 31, 2005, but after that it all boils down to ratings. If you've been enjoying seeing the TMNT show on Cartoon Network, it might be a good time to let them know, and get everyone you know to watch it, especially those super-secret Neilsen viewers.

-- On the same page is TMNT Tales's Steve Murphy with ::


"As you may be aware, we've been trying to raise money for UMass' efforts to study and save the endangered wood turtle population of Western Mass through contests and informational updates in Tales of the TMNT. My understanding is that we've helped raise a little over two thousand dollars between contributions from our readers and from Playmates Toys (via the eBay'ed cold cast "gold" Leo). The cost of one radio telemetry device for one wood turtle is around $150, so that two grand will go a long way.

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York recently finished a Western Mass wood turtle film which can be viewed at the site below (the film is the one labeled "Why did the turtle cross the road?"):




--(click here) sciencebulletins.amnh.org




The film will be playing at the entrance to the AMNH for the next six months, as well as at 13 science museums across the country.

Thanks for letting Tales be a conduit for helping the wood turtle!"

Animated News ..--reports here ::





Dark Horizons notices that an update has been subtly made to the FAQ section of the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles website. In answer to the question of a fourth movie, the site responds, "We're currently working with a studio on a new film. If we can come to an agreement on the script and they can find a distributor for the movie (neither of which are guaranteed), we hope to have a new movie in theaters in 2007. Keep your fingers crossed."




The Official TMNT FAQ starts right here if you'd like to check for yourself.


..so there is little glimmer of hope for TMNT movie fans ..!!

Some cool new TMNT game info according to Game Spot's Article --Starting here..::




Konami ..used its Gamers' Day to unveil a new installment in its venerable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle franchise. Dubbed TMNT Mutant Melee, the new game is set to hit PCs, Xboxes, and GameCubes in March, and is being billed as "the ultimate TMNT party experience." Rated "T" for teen, it will sport over 20 characters from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle series, and will let up to four players can play in two modes, Adventure Story or Melee Match. TMNT Mutant Melee will also feature several mini-games--including King of the Hill, Last Man Standing, Knock Out and more--and will also contain unlockable content.



..kinda like the good ol' Tournament Fighter days..with big brawls and Turtle squals gettin' settled on the mean streets of Mutant maddness. Lookin' to be a March release.. t's still early but it may look like PS2 Players may have to sit this bout out ( i hope not)..

The news finally broke regarding future volumes of the new TMNT Animated Series. Looks like we're going to start getting closer releases again as well, or at least I hope so. Volume 15: Ways of the Warrior - Alien Invasion and Volume 16: Ways of the Warrior - When Worlds Collide have been given release dates according to DVD Empire. No confirmations what episodes will be included on these volumes, but Vol 15 will likely include Episodes #54, #55, and #56. And Vol. 16 will likely include Episodes #57, #58, and #59. You can preorder both of them right now from DVD Empire at the following links. No artwork available for the DVD's as of yet, but probably in the next couple of weeks some will turn up.
