If you liked the recently released character posters for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but thought to yourself, "Hey, these things could sure use a bit more ... motion," then boy are you gonna love these new motion posters!  Clearly meant for smartphones or some other type of vertically inclined viewing device, Paramount has released one new motion poster featuring each of the heroes-in-a-half shell in action.  Not only do we get a brief listen to what Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello sound like, but we get an idea of how their personalities will play out on screen.  They're actually quite well done (aside from their orientation).

Starring Megan Fox, Will ArnettWilliam FichtnerAlan RitchsonPete PloszekJeremy HowardNoel Fisher, and Danny Woodburn, with Johnny Knoxville and Tony Shalhoub voicing Leonardo and Splinter respectively, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens August 8th.  Hit the jump to take a look at the new motion posters.
