This season has 13 half-hour episodes that are all about the artist-named turtles. The concept was revived by 4Kids Entertainment (NYSE: KDE), in line with the iconic cartoons upcoming 25^th anniversary in 2009 (Maybe, theyre setting up something big for this one.)

Accompanying main characters Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo and Raphael are fan favorites: Master Splinter - the sushi-eating karate expert, April the news reporter who is one of the turtles closest friends and Casey the hockey-masked phantom who has a penchant for doing good things in the bad way. Producers are also promising to introduce a new villain: Cyber Shredder!
