BURBANK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Worlds collide as the voice cast of the 1980s Turtles, Cam Clarke, Rob
Paulsen, Barry Gordon and Townsend Coleman joins forces as Leonardo,
Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, respectively, in
“Trans-Dimensional Turtles,” a new episode of Nickelodeon’s Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles debuting Sunday, March 27, at 11:00 a.m.
(ET/PT). In this new half-hour episode, the Turtles are transported
to another dimension where they meet their ‘80s alternate-reality
counterparts. Actor Pat Fraley also reunites with the ‘80s cast for the
first time since the original series premiered to reprise his role as
Krang.
In “Trans-Dimensional Turtles,” all eight Turtles must battle to
eliminate both the ‘80s Krang and Kraang Sub-Prime. After meeting their
‘80s counterparts in a 2D-animation world, the entire clan moves back
into a CG-animation dimension, giving their new retro friends a taste of
their realm. Additionally, in another dimensional twist, the episode
will offer a glimpse of the Turtles in a comic book world resembling
Kevin Eastman’s Mirage Studios comic book series.
Season four of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows the Turtles
as they embark on their most epic adventure yet – outer space! Allied
with a cyborg known as the Fugitoid (voiced by David Tennant), the
Turtles hurdle through space, meet strange and bizarre alien creatures,
and combat galactic monsters all in a race against time to save planet
Earth.

Mutant Ninja Turtles: Kickin’ it Old School,” where players will travel
