"Those who fail to remember history are condemned to repeat it."--George Santayana.
Perhaps inspired by Disney's Spidey & His Amazing Friends, Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. division will launch Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles, airing on the network's YouTube channel this summer.
As long as there's money to be made from these franchises, stuff like this will happen. I put the Santayana quote in because this, I think, will play more like a superhero version of, say, Yo! Yogi! than Spidey or Cartoon Network's Batwheels, because de-aging the boys goes entirely against Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird's original version, which began more than 40 years ago.
Like, what's next? April O'Neil as the boys' babysitter?
Pass the Pepto.
