Rogen’s animated project with Goldberg and Rowe was announced back in June 2020 with Robbins saying at the time, “Adding Seth, Evan and James’ genius to the humor and action that’s already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property.”

“I’m looking forward to see what they do, and I know that Ramsey Naito and her team are excited to take the Nick Animation Studio into another great direction with their first-ever CG-animated theatrical,” he added.

Rogen would provide an update on the film in August 2020 telling Collider, “As a lifelong fan of Ninja Turtles, weirdly the ‘Teenage’ part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was always the part that stuck out to me the most.”

“And as someone who loves teenage movies, and who’s made a lot of teenage movies, and who literally got their start in their entire profession by writing a teenage movie, the idea of kind of honing in on that element was really exciting to us. I mean, not disregarding the rest, but really using that as kind of a jumping off point for the film,” he stated.

Rogen’s latest foray into animation, HBO Max’s Santa Inc., was panned by audiences. The trailer for the show implied the show was anti-white and anti-male, which reflect ed Rogen’s own opinions that he made clear in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in August 2020 when he said, “I mean personally, I think I am just actively trying to make less things starring white people.”

He went on to say, “And if I’m succeeding or I’m not, I’m very much looking to have a far more diverse group of writers and directors and actors that we generally work with, because that group is not incredibly diverse, you know?”

Rogen ultimately concluded, “So that’s how I’ve been trying to deal with it, is just to actively take as they would say, anti-racist measures to assure that some work is doing done to acknowledge that Black people are very marginalized in American society.”

It’ll be interesting to see what he does with the Turtles and if he will inject his heinous views onto the property as he did with Santa Claus in Santa Inc.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were originally created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird and appeared in a one-shot comic book simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and published by Mirage Studios in 1984.

Eventually, Eastman and Laird would meet with Playmates Toys and the idea of an animated cartoon series was hatched. The show would eventually get picked up by CBS and run 10 seasons until it wrapped up in 1996.
