Lots of Animation ...

and lots of CGI, wrapped into hybrid packages.

Paramount said that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, originally scheduled for wide release on May 16, 2014, will now open three weeks later, on June 6. For now, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has the date to itself. It opens a week before Jurassic Park 4 (3D). ...

The turtles have been around in hand-drawn versions, men-in-rubber-suits versions, and CGI key-frame animation. This time around, it will be a wee bit different:

... The film will be a hybrid using real actors for the human roles and CGI motion-capture for the turtles themselves. ... So perhaps the delay is just an added post-production cushion to give the computer animators more than enough time to make sure this thing looks spectacular. ...

My question is: Where will the visual effects be done? Montreal? Vancouver? Or will Mozambique be offering big subsidies, causing Viacom to do the viz effx there? ...

I predict Montreal with artists from Montreal, Vancouver, Paris, London and Los Angeles.
