I'm expecting very, very good things from this studio. Very good indeed. Unfortunately, the site looks like it's still in its early stages without a whole lot of info to go on yet. But the partnerships with Dreamworks (Father Of The Pride et al) and Warner Bros (TMNT) are certainly good signs that this Hong Kong studio is on the right track.

The anticipation of a new TMNT movie is really exciting. Course, it's my favorite comic series so I'm a bit biased there. But the fact that this is a Chinese company gives me hope that a lot of that kung-fu spirit will show through (much like Golden Harvest's involvement with the original TMNT film).

And Cat Tale is already boasting what seems a very worthy cast. I'm calling this company out as a future major player.

I think there's room for all of them. I used to think the people who did the reboot and Transformers Beastwars would get to be huge (what was their name?), but they seem to have fallen off the radar.

/me happy that there will be a new tmnt movie; as, imo, the third one blew; the second pwned all; and the woman playing april o' neil (whoever she was) was hot.

You know what was a suprisingly decent movie adaptation of a cartoon?: The Masters of the universe live-action movie of (87?-88?) I saw it awhile back, and it was fairly decent

Judith Hoag was April in the first TMNT movie. Paige Turco in 2 and 3. Sadly, I didn't have to look that up.

Then get the fuck out of the topic. There are a lot of people here who enjoy animation.

Mainframe. I think they went out of business, if I remember right.

Nope. No mention of bankrupcy.
