I think the movie looks pretty great! I think Imagi does a great job balancing darkness and fun in their movies (TMNT) so they appeal to both kids and adults! Plus their animation is just gorgeous!

Wow - I didn't even recognize Freddie Highmore's voice when I first saw the trailer. He does well with the American accent, though.

This looks like a delightful and fun movie. Maybe I'll get out to see it while it's still in theaters!

Is was a really good movie except when the killed a child. That is a little too much for a kids movie. They need to do something slightly different to get the story across.

Medias can’t believe that the famous Nicolas Cage is encountering financial hardship. Even me, I can’t totally imagine that he is broke. Recent reports, including People Magazine – granted, these are gossip rags that are really only useful for kindling - are coming out about Nicholas Cage broke. Well, the reports of Nicholas Cage broke are true, as the highly successful actor is severely in the hole, with the IRS and mortgage companies. He's trying to do everything he can to pay it off, including auctioning off a lot of his assets, and he has so far blamed his former management for malfeasance. Sam Levin, his former manager, is fingered as the culprit as the person who mishandled Cage's affairs and led to $20 million in liabilities. Nicholas Cage or that far in debt – that's more than payday lenders can lend.
