Nickelodeon now owns the full TMNT franchise, bought to the tune of $60 million. Belonging to Mirage Studios since its creation in 1984, TMNT has enjoyed 25 years of comics, video games, blockbuster movies, toys, DVDs, and TV shows that have generated billions in retail.

Co-creator Peter Laird is helping to ease the transition from his company to its new owners, as well as assisting with the creative reintroduction to its passionate, multi-generation fan base. Nickelodeon has already announced plans to launch a new CG-animated TMNT television series, along with a feature film, scheduled to premiere in 2012. Read about the new acquisition at Newsarama.
