I agree with Dyne to a certain extent. The main companies making similar themed films at the same time...Finding Nemo and Shark Tale, Antz and A Bug's Life. And now Ant Bully. Jerry Seinfeld has a CGI movie coming out called Bee Movie but it's Seinfeld and involves bees suing humans for the use of honey so I'm fine with it. Madagascar and The Wild...can you get more similar? Still not sure about Flushing Away and Ratatouille. And the use of famous actors to plug the movie is the worse. The cast of Shark Tale was sickeningly Hollywood.
Here's some more info on TMNT. Glad about the no name actors. Plus I heard they all record in the same room which is almost never the case so there's some improv too.

With the teaser trailer now online, Superhero Hype! has learned a few more bits about TMNT--the first all CG animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie--at Comic-Con in San Diego. We've also posted four new character posters that were on display, which you can find here!
- Writer-director Kevin Munroe was present and revealed five minutes of footage from the anticipated film, which is set after the second live action movie.
- He said that the film will feature hidden jokes from the comics and animated series.
- Splinter will be voiced by Japanese actor Mako. The other voices will be announced in a month, but they are not well-known celebrities.
- Shredder is not the villain in the story, though he does make an appearance, which might set up the conflict for the sequel.
- Expect Casey Jones and April to develop a relationship.
- Marco Beltrami is doing the score, and they are looking to create a theme for the "Turtles" CG movies, something memorable like the "Batman" theme.
- One of the scenes shown features a turtle dressed up for a kids party, and the kids beat him up, with one of the little girls kicking him in the balls. A lot of action scenes were also shown, like the turtles on skateboards, hang gliders, etc.
- The movie features a bat character and female ninja characters.
- There is a human villain, who may or may not be named Winter.
