Nickelodeon will be launching a brand new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon and toy line in 2012! The new series will feature all of your favorite characters including some new ones. Nickelodeon has added some top-notch talent to lend their voices to the iconic Turtle brothers. First off we have Rob Paulsen. You may remember him as the original voice of Raphael from the 80's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time around he is taking the roll of Donatello. So who is playing Raphael now? The one and only Sean Astin! Yes, that Sean Astin. The one who played Mikey in The Goonies. Next up we have Michelangelo played by Greg Cipes. You may recognize Greg Cipes as the voice of Beast Boy from Teen Titans. And Last but not least, we have Jason Biggs of American Pie fame leading the brothers as Leonardo. With this all-star cast and an amazing team of writers and CG animators, this will be one of the best versions of the Turtles to date! The creators have really looked at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise as a whole and have taken the best aspects from each series and mashed it into one set to a contemporary vibe.
