While this year will be a different kind of San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), we are expecting some news from the annual geek gathering. First up, the rights to the original 1987 “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” cartoon have been secured by Paramount.
Kevin Eastman, franchise co-creator, shared the news during a panel highlighting the upcoming animated “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” film.
The classic cartoon will hit Nickelodeon sometime next year.
