Donatello (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003)

Donatello is voiced by Sam Riegel in this incarnation for the 2003 TV series . Known as "Don", he is the smartest and most technologically-adept Turtle. His personality is still the traditional techno turtle like most incarnations but unlike most of the Donatello incarnations, he is the most passive and is rarely aggressive. His trademark Bō staff was once again his primary weapon, but he has used other weapons such as laser guns and those of his brothers.
== Why He Rocks ==

# He has a great relationship with all the turtles and humans that he ever meets.

== The Only Bad Quality ==
# While not to notable and he was still likable, he was flanderized in Season 7 as he became a huge bossy and cared only for his job than his friends. Thankfully, his likability still lived inside of him and he nowhere near badly flanderized, unlike other Cartoon Characters.
