I checked up on Judith Hoag to see if I could find out why she wasn't in the two movies that followed. According to what I found out she was unhappy with the way they edited the first movie as apparently it effected her portrayal as April. So she didn't come back for two and three. And so they brought in the replacement.
Yeah, well, animated or not. Canon or not. I am having nothing to do with it. As far as I am concerned it's just the three live action movies I own on DVD that exists. Those three and the original cartoon series (I have series one and two in a 3 disc 25th anniversary boxset). I am just waiting on them bringing the other eight series out on DVD as well now. I want nothing to do with anything new on the TMNT. Nothing what so ever. For me it's old school TMNT or no school TMNT.
