<P> In 2009, the Turtles, Shredder, Krang, and various other characters from the 1987 series returned for the 25th anniversary crossover movie Turtles Forever, in which they meet up with their counterparts from a series that began in 2003 . Due to financial restrictions, none of the original voice actors were able to reprise their roles, and replacement actors were used instead . </P> <P> In April 2013, Ciro Nieli, the executive producer of the 2012 Turtles series, confirmed in an interview that the 1987 Turtles would cameo in a one - hour special in season 2 . Cam Clarke, Townsend Coleman, Barry Gordon and Rob Paulsen (who voiced Donatello in the 2012 series) reprise their roles as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, respectively, in the closing of the episode "Wormquake!". The 1987 turtles also had a crossover with the 2012 turtles in the season 4 episode, "Trans - Dimensional Turtles". In addition with the lead cast - members reprising their roles from the episode, Pat Fraley also reprised his role as Krang who is depicted as a relative of Kraang Subprime that was banished to the' 80s reality for being incompetent . </P> <P> Through most of the series, the episodes featured a recurring background music which reflected the mood of the situation, as well as ID music for settings such as the Technodrome, the New York City sewers, Channel 6, etc...The soundtrack was composed by Dennis Challen Brown (credited as "D.C. Brown" and later as "Dennis C. Brown") and Chuck Lorre . Lorre recorded the theme song (and performed the spoken parts) and became a successful television producer . The performer of the song was James Mandell (aka Miles Doppler). To date the soundtrack has never been released for retail . </P> <P> The Channel 6 News theme music also appeared in the Turtles in Time video game . </P>
