Cowabunga, dudes! 'TMNT,' the fourth 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movie -- and the first one done entirely in CGI -- is less than four months away (it opens on March 23, 2007). Right now we've got not one but three, count 'em, three exclusive photos from the film. And that's right, by "exclusive" we do mean "can't see them anywhere else." Click on the photos for even larger images.

When this film opens, Shredder is dead (yeah, I know he's "died" twice now -- but rest assured, he doesn't show make a miraculous recovery in this one), and the Turtles, lacking a purpose, have gone their separate ways. Michelangelo's been entertaining at children's parties, for crying out loud. Talk about a fall from grace. In this scene, though, they receive an emergency phone call from their old pal April (voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar) that helps get them back on track. Note that Donatello looks pensive and Leonardo's ready for action, but Splinter and Michelangelo can't even be bothered to get up from the table. And what is that, one pizza for each? Looks like some of our heroes may need to start hitting the Stairmaster.

One of the great things about the blogosphere, at least for animation buffs like myself, is that a lot of artists from big studios like Dreamworks and Pixar have started personal blogs, giving anyone who is interested a chance to see what they can create beyond the output of their day jobs. Case in point: Jim Capobianco, a story artist for Pixar, has been working, when he has free time, on a hand-drawn animated short called "Leonardo." He's created a blog where you can follow along with his creative process. Capobianco has been working on the short since 1999 (cut him some slack, animation is a busy business) but he hopes to have it finished by the middle of next year.
