Reuters says it all: “Nickelodeon Acquires Global Rights to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. The price? A mere $60 million.
We’ll follow in a moment with the complete press release. You’ll notice that it mentions film, animation and toys, but says little to nothing about actual comics. Mirage CEO Gary Richardson is quoted as saying, “Nickelodeon is a powerhouse global brand, and we are confident that the company will be a wonderful steward for Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello and all the other TMNT characters
and take them in all kinds of exciting and new creative directions.”
At his blog, Turtles co-creator Peter Laird addressed a number of issues surrounding the sale. He summed it up with the following statement:
On a final note (at least for this statement), please understand that I sold the TMNT property, not Mirage Studios. Mirage still exists, and it’s still my company. It just doesn’t own the TMNT intellectual property anymore. I’m not sure what its future will be. For a little while, it will be helping with the transition of TMNT over to its new owners. But after that…? I don’t know. What I am hoping, however, is that this little core group of creators sticks together, both as friends and collaborators. And I think that is certainly possible.
Wow! someway to give competition to Disney.
Is TMNT becoming popular, again?

Re: Nickelodeon Gets The Turtles

Wow, Nickelodeon is actually going to start showing real cartoons again?

They probably ran out of original ideas.

Re: Nickelodeon Gets The Turtles

This is either a stroke of genius or the single most idiotic thing Nick has ever done.... what it is remains to be seen. They've proved me wrong before, so I guess I shall remain cautiously optimistic on this one.
