My dog told me to blog

On March 30th of next year, the film industry in this country hits a major crossroads. On that day, which will be either a particularly happy one, or a devastatingly sad one for me personally, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hits theaters. It is on that day, that America will decide once and for all if technology is a benefit to the film industry.

In this new installment of the Teenage Mutant Ninja saga, the movie is entirely digitally animated. I'm sure it's going to look OK, but the characters themselves are almost like superheroes in the way they move. Just judging from the trailer, they are jumping impossible distances, leaping from rooftop to rooftop and jumping from a building to the the street. I just think that the TMNT live action movies were unbeatable.

When this movie comes out, I will make my final judgment on digital animation. I'm not completely sold on it. That's why I'm, looking so forward to the Simpsons movie. Real animation in a full length movie is so rare these days that it will surely be a refreshing change. However, if the new TMNT movie destroys my favorite characters, I will be livid. It is for that reason that I am both looking forward to, and dreading March 30th of next year.
