I still love me some cartoons. I’m sure people walking into my house as I’m sitting there in my gym shorts I use as pajamas, eating a bowl of cereal, and watching my cartoons are amused at why a 37 year old man would watch cartoons. Hey, I still love the characters and the story telling is top notch. Doesn’t matter to me that it’s animated. But it’s time for some Good News/Bad News.
Good News:
The first trailer for the new Duck Tales series for Disney XD is out. And it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Most important is we get to hear David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck for the first time. And I gotta say I love it. Perfect casting.
Bad News:
The newest TMNT cg animated show looks like it’s winding down with season 5 only to be replaced with an old school 2d animated version. I’ve been a big fan of the show when it launched and I thought did a great job of incorporation of TMNT lore while also doing some things to make it all fresh again. I’m bummed they are leaving this incarnation behind. My guess would be the voice cast will be getting too expensive after the 5th season so it’s off for another reboot rather than shelling out (hehe see what I did there) for voice actors like Seth Green and Sean Astin to reprise their roles in future seasons. Who knows. Guess we’ll wait and see what the new show holds.
