Official Nick TMNT storyboards!

[oldmanwinters]

I guess it's thread worthy, according to Powder.

From what I can tell, these are eight storyboard pages from the official "pilot" that was shown to the elect members of the TMNT fandom a few months back!

[Kendamu]

That was a pretty neat look into things! Thanks!

[Roseangelo]

Wow, good find!

[gobo]

Was that Richard Pryor? O_o

[oldmanwinters]

Wow, good find!

I take it that this confirms they are the real deal?

[Roseangelo]

I take it that this confirms they are the real deal?

Yup, I'd say so.

[discordiatookie]

"And one thing we know about bad guys?

They love chasing Mikey!"

*Mikey runs into panel*

That actually made me laugh out loud. Was unexpected, and if I had been drinking milk, it would've came outta my nose and all over my laptop. Luckily, I wasn't drinking milk.

Great find, oldmanwinters! Thanks for the share, I dig what I see so far.

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

Baxter looks awesome!

[Jephael]

These are awesome! I can actually hear the actors speaking the lines as I'm reading them!

Was that Richard Pryor? O_o

I can see them using Pryor's likeness as inspiration, the same way 4Kids Baxter looked kinda like Steve Urkel.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

The new Stockman looks awesome!

[Buffy]

These are cool, thanks for sharing!

[PizzaPower]

pretty sweet :)

[rufus]

Those were cool. Can't wait till next year.

[sdp]

The plot/dialog reminds me of those flash shorts 4kids did.

[Raph]

This is really nice, and great that we get regular updates on the progress :D
Is that Deviant Artists the actual storyboard artist for Nickelodeon?

I have to get in touch with him :D

[PizzaPower]

haha yea you would be the one to do that :)

[Jester]

Is it my Paulsen Bias or is the "Donatello and the Turtle" bits on the second to last page of boards making it out like Donnie's the Turtle in the lime light?

[Powder]

From what I gather the episode is about an ipod Donny made from scrap metal that turns into Baxters suit.
So there is probably some focus on him in there.

[TuЯco]

stockman looks really futuristic lol

[Jester]

I dunna looks like he's sportin' a fro. :P

[PizzaPower]

stockman looks really futuristic lol
lol to me its more a blast from the past.

[TuЯco]

lol to me its more a blast from the past.

i dont think he looks that clunky, like what robots were percieved to be in the past lol



i kinda like how the turtles are looking though, besides the extra toe, their posture and design looks like they came from the old comics a little.

[Machias Banshee]

Great find! I'm so glad everyone can see this finally! NOW If we'd just see Splinter and Shredder and April and... :P

[Jester]

Wait...Baxter is Dolemite?

HAHA!!! Um, I don't get it.

HAHA!!! Um, I don't get it.

[Donnie]

Is it my Paulsen Bias or is the "Donatello and the Turtle" bits on the second to last page of boards making it out like Donnie's the Turtle in the lime light?

Was thinking the same thing. He's also considerably taller than the others. THE DONNY SHOW.

[Jester]

I hope someone saved them, because it looks like they've been yanked!

[RiseAbove873]

Unfortunately, I missed out on them. Does anybody know where else I can see them? Thanks.

[Powder]

I saved them. I'll put up a DL link later on.

[Venom]

2 and a half hours later....

[sdp]

I saved them, here:

[Mod Edit: Links removed by request of the original uploader.]

Baxter looked interesting, I liked him, other than that the story looked kinda lame.

[Roseangelo]

I saved 'em, too.

[Powder]

edit:uploading taking long for some reason, i'll edit once i have the links.

Too late. I wasn't lying, I said I'd upload them.

[Mod Edit: Links removed by request of the original uploader.]

[CyberCubed]

So the Turtles are strong enough to pull a robot to the ground with chains? And then they cheer, "We did it?"

I bet if PL was reviewing these, he's suggest some changes. He'd also nitpick the part where it says, "Turtles pull with all there strength" and tell them to correct, "there," with "their."

lmao. Some good points. Stockman looks like a great, Volume 2 inspired design, The story for this episode hasn't won me over yet.

[Donnie]

I wouldn't blame him; one would think proper grammar would be considered, regardless of whether or not this (the story board art) was to see release.

What we see here is not very impressive.

[CyberCubed]

This really reminds me of the 4kids scripts PL posted on his blog, and they seemed childish at first but he gave them suggestions on what to do.

Its a real shame nobody is overlooking these Nick plots.

They made that same spelling mistake TWICE. OH, THE AGONY!! >_<

[TobTurn]

Okay, they need Peter Laird or Eastman on this. Seriously. Or just bring a decent writer of serious movies/shows (Action or adventure, NOT comedy).

To me, this looks pretty lame.
'WE DID IT!'?! - No, stop.

Like someone else said earlier, it really does sound like the 4Kids mini-series. Without the corrections Laird made.

Stockman looks pathetic, and I really get the feeling they're gonna make him white. But we can't tell at the moment, obviously.

The way they defeat Stockman is the exact same way the '03 Turtles defeated him in Return to New York part 3. (He came back immediately after that, btw. I'd say: make this new Stockman badder-ass than the '03 one, but according to these storyboards, they're not gonna do that at all).
Can't they think of something original?

The dialogues disappoint me, and the grammar isn't that good either. I suck at grammar, but I could easily point it out in these storyboards. Their and there. Really?

It's also really cliché, how Mike comes running to the other turtles wanting to tell them about Stockman's weapon but then gets interrupted by that exact thing. Again, can't they think of something original?
We've seen that joke soooo many times, I'm extremely tired of it. And I'm probably not the only one.

I'd prefer the Turtles calling Splinter actually 'Splinter' or maybe even 'Father'.
Not 'Sensei'. They're supposed to be family.

They should change this: 'Like sensei said: Don't fight the machine, fight the guy inside the machine.'

To this: 'Like Splinter said: Don't fight the machine, fight the guy inside it.' (IMO this flows a lot better).

And if it's meant to be symbolic or with a deeper meaning, maybe:

'Like Splinter said: Don't fight the mask, fight/reach the person behind the mask.'

This means if someone acts like something he's not to defend himself or out of fear or something, reach out to the person he really is. And then the turtles interpret this as 'fighting the guy in the machine.' (My English-skills are not fully developed, nor will they ever be, so these dialogues may sound a bit weird in English.)

'And one thing we know about bad guys...' > 'And if there's one thing we know about bad guys...'

When the missile attacks, they just go lay on the ground. Would be cooler if they actually dodge and jump away, like ninja.

Some dialogue by Baxter would be really neat when he's searching for the Turtles. He could be saying they should show themselves, and calling them 'mutant FREAKS!' or something.
Just offending them would be good.
Or something like 'Come out, come out, wherever you're hiding! I want to PLAY!'

When he makes the angry face, he could threaten the Turtles, and saying they won't be able to hide forever or that they will never defeat him. That would make the sneak-attack a lot better.

I wanna see dialogue by Stockman when he gets attacked, hopefully that'll be there. Also dialogue by the Turtles while defeating Stockman.

As I made clear before: 'We did it!' is really lame.
Also it doesn't make sense. Stockman isn't defeated, is he? He just fell. They could make the StockmanPod break it's legs, though. But just falling shouldn't defeat him.
Then again, these are just storyboards. Nothing detailed, I'm just talking about what I can see RIGHT NOW.


I'm disappointed. They're gonna have to make A LOT of changes to make me satisfied.

[Powder]

You people are SO hard to please. I really didn't expect to be practically the only one holding my judgment for the ACTUAL SHOW.

& as far as simplicity goes, need I remind you this program is being made with children in mind?

[TobTurn]

Children are really not that stupid people think they are. ATLA was made with kids in mind, and that became a huge succes. And that show is NOT simplistic. It really does have deeper meanings, and a LOT of children can point those out.

Here in The Netherlands we have a show called 'Huis Anubis', which other countries bought from us. In the UK it's called 'The House of Anubis', I believe. It's pretty dark (In The Netherlands that is, in the UK not so much) and not simplistic at all. And still, children get it and love it.

It's being made for children, not idiots that don't understand anything.

[Jester]

*head esplode*
Can I retire from the fan base? Please?

I mean seriously can we wait until a fully animated, recorded episode is released before we decide that this isn't worth our time? Do we have to take a colossal dump on unfinished work?

[marcelangelo]

same sentiment here, jester....)

don't forget that these are just storyboards and we don't have any information on how accurate they are on this stage of the PROCESS yet...
another thing is:the things you, tobturn, suggest baxter to say while he is looking for the turtles seem so old to me, too that I just have to laugh, man....I mean common, that ain't original either, amigo!!!;)...

actually I don'T want to take part in any of this conversation, I just felt very sympathetic to jester here...;)
so, go on, forget about my stuff...

Most people here just give their opinion about the storyboards and what we've seen already, what's wrong with that? I'm not saying the finished product will be awful. No one is saying that, as no one knows.

[Luzmagica]

^ Calm down guys.... :) Its just a stoyboard...... Jester, please dont leave the Forum !!! We need you! ;)

Im so happy and excited to see first work coming!!! :tgrin:

Storyboard:
Storyboard or graphical script is a set of illustrations shown in sequence with the aim of serving as GUIDE to understand a history, to PREVISUALIZE an animation or to follow the structure of a film BEFORE being realised or filming themselves. Storyboard is essentially a great series of emblems that order the narration of the facts of a film. It is used like PREVIOUS PLANNING to the shooting of scenes and sequences; in him one determines the type of frame and the angle of view that is going away to use. It as guide serves the director; however, he can detach and segment his shooting without strictly following the order logical of the plot.

[Mod Edit: Links removed by request of the original uploader.]

WE DID IT!!!!

I :tlove: it!!

[Bauer536]

I saw the storyboards. I just want to say that I'm excited! :tgrin: I did see the grammatical errors, but I knew what was supposed to be written. Also, these are storyboards. These can change anytime. The turtles look great, Baxter looks great, but I'm still waiting for Splinter and Shredder! :tgrin: Also I really don't have a problem with Leo saying, "We did it!" I have a feeling this is not the end of the story. Somehow, Baxter is going to come out of that robot with a weapon in hand, and Raph is going to say, "You were saying, Fearless Leader?" Then that's when the turtles take out their weapons to fight the evil scientist. :tgrin: If some things are taken from previous TMNT incarnations, I can't say that's unoriginal. I say it's cool because it's TMNT, and we are familiar with whatever is used. Still, I would have loved to see the storyboards for the show when the turltes are using their weapons. They didn't even use them here. I'm just hoping it's not like the original movies where they throw pizza or cold cuts at the bad guys.:tlol: Hopefully, this generation likes to see characters use some sort of weapons. Kids shows have changed today, especially since the 2k3 series will be on Nicktoons.

I'm having hope that this show will be a mix of the OT and the 2k3 series: Some silly comedy, with serious action and adventure.

Also, how can I meet this storyboard artist? I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask him.

After looking at this, I must say, it is not the Donnie Show. It's just one scene. Besides, Leo had a big role in this layout. I wanted more Mikey and Raph, though. Still, I can't wait!:tcool:

[ToTheNines]

Baxter's suit kinda looks like a mouser, in a way.

[PizzaPower]

damn people are really hard on this new cartoon. be happy we are even getting one and they are just story boards. they are also on my site just in case the links ever go bad for whatever reason.

[oldmanwinters]

I hope someone saved them, because it looks like they've been yanked!

Huh, I kinda figured it was too good to be true! Yeah, I go ahead and download those things at first opportunity.

Sadly, though, I guess this means we probably won't be seeing anymore TMNT uploads by Andres Alvarez anytime soon. :tgrumble:

*head esplode*

H8terz gonna hate! Come to think of it... that would make a good name for a villainous gang in the new TMNT cartoon!

lmao. Some good points. Stockman looks like a great, Volume 2 inspired design, The story for this episode hasn't won me over yet.

Remember that this was just a "pilot" which means it may not ever become an actual episode. IIR, the fans who saw this said that this was just a test run to get a feel for the characters.

[CyberCubed]

They made that same spelling mistake TWICE. OH, THE AGONY!! >_<

I guess the Nick storyboard artists can't spell. :P

[cartoonistaaron]

I love that some people are tearing apart the grammar and dialogue on these storyboards. Having done storyboards in the past, that's exactly what they are - storyboards. Dialogue will be scripted and may or may not match what's on the boards.

I think the boards look fine. Also, the show seems to be evolving a lot more of the "wacky" aspect that I was afraid it wouldn't have. I was an early naysayer on this whole project and had no intention of following it, but I have to admit the more I see, the more I like it.

[plastroncafe]

I know that you guys saw this a couple of days ago, but I was offline and so...I'm just now catching up.

Having said that, I now decree that all Mondays should start with turtle storyboards. That...was damn entertaining. I too laughed at the Mikey bit.

Well done, people! I can't wait to see the finished product!

[Revan]

First storyboard I have seen and already they've got Mike running around like a goof

[Oniri]

I enjoyed the storyboard and Mikey's bit was funny. :tlol:

The one thing I will say to folks who aren't satisfied right now (which a lot of folks have said already), it's a storyboard and an unedited one as far as I can see. As someone who was an intern who had to scan, rescan and tweaked storyboards, I can second cartoonistaaron's comment.

These things get changed, added on and cut a ridiculous amount of times. Storyboard artists, the director and the production department (and whoever else I am forgetting) will probably fuddle with this in one day more than they'll change their underwear in one week (assuming they change their underwear every night. I don't know, I'm rather cleanly).

[Leonardo Mystic]

damn people are really hard on this new cartoon. be happy we are even getting one

I really hate this statement. So just because we're getting a crappy cartoon I should be happy there's even one at all? I would sooner be happy if we had none at all than to have this. I would be happy if the whole thing were scrapped; redesign the turtles, redone in traditional animation; not CGI, and no lame dialogue cheers of "We did it!" I'm reminded of Dora the Explorer with that line. Should we cue the dance?

[Bauer536]

I was just thinking the same thing about the "We did it!" line. However, I'll disagree with you about the animation. CGI makes certain things look realistic. The turtles look amazing. I don't want this show scrapped. I did not like the TMNT in traditional animation as much as I liked them in CGI form. So I have some hope in this project. :tsmile:

Ya know I wrote out this long drawn out reply in response to this post and I couldn't bring myself to hit submit... I have come to the conclusion that it is just about impossible to change someone's opinion via the internet so I think I would much rather just see someone post and swim in their own ignorance.

[Chaotix12345]

Wait...Baxter is Dolemite?
http://www.sohh.com/img/dolemite-300x300-2008-10-20.jpg
Does that mean the boom mic will keep appearing in every shot he's in? :P

Anyway, I'm actually liking the look of this so far. Could use a bit of work on some of the dialogue and a tad more seriousness, but this is an unfinished storyboard for a pitch pilot, so it's obviously unfinished. Besides, we haven't seen the whole episode yet, so it's a bit too early to judge. Either way, it's looking fun so far. Looking forward to seeing a finished episode! :)

[Whitewolf89]

Is it just me, or doies Baxter have a MUSTACHE in those pics of him?!

[gobo]

Is it just me, or does Baxter have a MUSTACHE in those pics of him?!
You must be only looking at thumbnails if you have to ask. :P Left-click on the pic to see it full-size.

[Jephael]

And then they cheer, "We did it?"

What scares me is that reminds me of a song they sing at the end of every episode of Dora the Explorer. I pray to God the Turtles don't start singing every time they have a victory.

Oh and before anyone remarks that I'm a grown man watching Dora the Explorer, please bear in mind I only watch it when spending time with my 5 year-old niece. I'm hoping to get her interested in more gender neutral cartoon shows like Charlie Brown and Looney Tunes.

i can see this new series being very fun and witty.

[Jester]

Actually, everybody Leo Mystic is right. This show sucks. The animation is horrible, the voice acting is sub-par and the stories are moronic. Who needs an actual episode to make those assumptions? It's patently obvious now that this show is going to make NT:TNM look like the best show ever to air on American TV, ABC's Cavemen.

[gobo]

Finally, a REASONABLE bad review... Take notes, everyone.

Since we're going to be that petty, no, they are not. But people around this forum are singling people out that don't agree with them and I don't think it's right. It's called an opinion for a reason. Not everyone is going to like what you do and that's just the truth of the matter.

My problem with these "opinions," is that they seem premature. We only have early character designs, early storyboards, early everything. The show is more than a year away. Lighten up. I can understand people saying the show sucks once it airs, but we really have no way of knowing if it sucks until then. Unless you have a Delorian on hand, we don't know about.

Okay, I'm totally confused, Jester.:tconfuse: Was this post here supposed to be sarcastic? You were the one that said to wait and see for the finished product. Plus, Leonardo Mystic was asking why you were singling him out. So this must have been sarcastic. Like I said before: the Sheldon Cooper analogy. I'm not very good with this.

Update: I'm guessing you were sarcastic before, right? Just let me know when you can, Jester.:tsmile:

Sounds a bit like you're jumping to conclusions. I don't approve of Nick's choices either, but I don't wanna be in your boat if you're gonna act like this. Just calm down.

I can understand people saying the show sucks once it airs, but we really have no way of knowing if it sucks until then. Unless you have a Delorian on hand, we don't know about.

Yes, but even the early stuff can still have a big impact on its presentation. From the toy fair pictures in the other thread, it seems that is the character design they are going to stick with and I don't like them. The new storyboards have not done anything at all to impress me or change my mind on this. The BTTS designs look great in comparison and they are the second of the worst three redesigns of the 4Kids' series, counting Turtles Forever, in my opinion.

Hell, if they had to have it in CGI, the TMNT CGI movie designs would be okay by me. I'd at least try to give it a shot then because they're aren't so bad looking actually. It's the same reason I have never watched the third live action movie because I can't get past looking at the fugly costumes on the cover to want to try to.

Look, it's just like if you went to a restaurant. You're going to order something that looks or sounds good, right? I would think you wouldn't want to order raw squid marinated in something found in a baby's diaper. :trazz:

[Jester]

Wait, there are pictures of the toys? Where?

Really...we're going to use a "Would you eat the contents of a baby diaper?" argument? That I know is crap...besides how often does the food on the plate actually look like the menu? Those pictures are the most meticulously staged pictures ever.

I see this like a stew, that you don't like the ingredients on their own, but once you taste it, you actually enjoy it....maybe.

[Leonardo Mystic]

Wait, there are pictures of the toys? Where?

The images from the licensing show, not toys.

Really...we're going to use a "Would you eat the contents of a baby diaper?" argument?

That's not what I meant.

[gobo]

If that's not what you meant, then why'd he completely misquote you, huh? O_o

[Leonardo Mystic]

If that's not what you meant, then why'd he completely misquote you, huh? O_o

*sighs* It was not the context in which he took it. I was trying to create an image of something totally unappetitizing. Not making an argument would you eat the actual contents of a diaper.

Heh... Truth to be told, I never know when it's a joke even off the internet.

[Bauer536]

Speaking of jokes, I mentioned about that I'm not good at determining sarcasm on the internet. Was this all a joke that you said, Jester? I did not get my answer. If I did, I might have not caught that.

[Jester]

Yes...it was sarcasm. I figured calling ABC's Cavemen series the greatest series ever created would make it obvious.

[FearlessLeader]

I agree with everything Jester has said here. It's the same as the people in the other thread complaining about the voice actors before they have even heard them as the characters.

If you want to do a food analogue, it's like you are complaining about a pasta dish before they put the sauce on it to finish it. You just have noodles and an idea of what the dish may taste like, but you don't have the full experience.

I can't stop anyone here from thinking anything, but it would really save everyone a lot of grief if they just wait to see what the show actually is. Then if you want to hate it, feel free.

[Machias Banshee]

:lol: Ah memories... I remember when everyone was like this for the 2K3 show. Everyone squabbling back and forth, thinking it'd either be the best show ever, Or the death of the franchise... Nice to see how that turned out. :rolling:

Remember, we're seeing four or five frames out of... 120 thousand, for a 30 minute cartoon. It's like taking making bread, and only tasting the baking powder before the rest of the ingredients are in and baked. We Don't know what the finished product is going to be..


Just be patient... :) I'm getting sorely tempted to start drawing what Splinter's gonna be, though... That I'm losing patience on!

MB, I've been wanting to see your artistic representation of everything you got to see!:)
Indeed! Do it Machi! DOO ET!!!

Wait... seriously? You got a source on that? If so... wow!

Indeed. Andrea is a legend.

I wonder if Baxter shoots Mousers out of his robot suit, didn't someone say that was said back at the preview event?

I honestly thought it was old news. Do it.

I seem to recall reading something of that nature.

[VaughnMichael]

I wonder if Baxter shoots Mousers out of his robot suit, didn't someone say that was said back at the preview event?
Yes, and it just seemed odd to me because we never see what he does exactly for a living. We see him trying to break into a building in a crapy robotic outfit but nothing is really explained.
He goes back to work for revenge at one point but it's never stated what his place of employment was. It looked like your every day cubicle office to me.

Anyway I enjoy these storyboards and really wish this show was animated and not cg clay fighters looking stuff, but what can ya do.

[CyberCubed]

Perhaps this isn't Baxter's first episode, but his second appearance, so his character is better introduced in a prior ep. Not that this is even an episode anyway.

:lol: Ah memories... I remember when everyone was like this for the 2K3 show. Everyone squabbling back and forth, thinking it'd either be the best show ever, Or the death of the franchise... Nice to see how that turned out. :rolling:

Remember, we're seeing four or five frames out of... 120 thousand, for a 30 minute cartoon. It's like taking making bread, and only tasting the baking powder before the rest of the ingredients are in and baked. We Don't know what the finished product is going to be..


Just be patient... :) I'm getting sorely tempted to start drawing what Splinter's gonna be, though... That I'm losing patience on!

Ya know I wrote out this long drawn out reply in response to this post and I couldn't bring myself to hit submit... I have come to the conclusion that it is just about impossible to change someone's opinion via the internet so I think I would much rather just see someone post and swim in their own ignorance.

-ms

I don't think you understand me. I wasn't saying that this show will be simplistic and not dark, you know. Someone said that this show is made with kids in mind, so it will probably be simplistic. I just wanted to say that kids are not as stupid as people think they are, and actually cán understand deeper meanings and you don't have to stupify shows made for children.

[Powder]

I never said it'd be simplistic...

[TobTurn]

I never said it'd be simplistic...

You're right. I re-read your post. You were complaining that we were really hard to please, and that as far as the simplicity goes, we should remember this is being made with children in mind.
I thought you meant that I (and maybe other people) wanted it less simplistic, but then children wouldn't really get it or it wouldn't be right for children to watch. After that I said: Kids aren't as stupid as many people think they are, they can understand less simplistic subjects or storylines.

[Powder]

All I know is you're reading way too far into it... I'm not suggesting kids are dumb (and clearly you agree seeing how you keep repeating yourself in every post), but rather that for their attention to be kept, it's easier to keep some of the dialogue simple. I myself think "We did it!" is far better than "By the gods & graces of this limitless universe, I think that this dark scenario in which we've recklessly endeavored upon the stage of life has finally reached its end...".

Ya feel me?

I'll have to agree that kids are not stupid. It's just we don't want things to be complicated for them or in that case, inappropriate. "We did it!" is a better line, but I'd sure like to hear them say, "Alright. Good work guys!" after that.

Fair points but, again, isn't the nature of this pilot such that it might never see the light of day as an actual episode?

[Whitewolf89]

You must be only looking at thumbnails if you have to ask. :P Left-click on the pic to see it full-size.
Um, I think that clicking on it to make it full-sized is what I did, but I was running short on time at the library (really, REALLY short on time (PLUS which, my eyes were kinda bothering me)), so I really didn't have the time to look at him closer. Which I WILL do shortly today.

EDIT: Well, I rechecked that one storyboard with the closeups of Baxter in it (this one: [...] ), and he does, indeed, have a mustache. (Not surprising, really, as he had one in Volume One of the Mirage comics series.)

ANOTHER thing that I noticed, upon looking at these again, and specifically the FIRST of these ([...]) is that if you look really closely at their feet (which honestly look like HOOVES to me, rather than the Turtles feet that we've long been used to)) in the first three panels, if you look really, REALLY closely, you can see the three toes that they'll each have. (STILL not liking that, but I guess that I'll slowly get USED to it, I guess. Still NOT gonna DRAW them with three toes when I draw them, though, but that's just me.)

They are, but you could always 'fit to page', which would make 'em pretty tiny, or divide 'em by frame and tape the printouts together.

Indeed.....

[sdp]

A lot of pilots are not meant to be aired, they're eventually released somehow and yeah those pilots aren't usually a first episode but instead its just meant to show the tone of the show to the suits. The tone of the pilot can be a little different, from the actual show, usually the show is better written and not as simple.

Really. It's funny, though. My parents have told me that along time ago. But still, I count a few pilots as the series premieres. A few would include Gilmore Girls (My mother used to watch that :tlol:), Smallville, Pushing Daisies, and of course The Big Bang Theory. The season premiere of 24 was only called "12:00 AM-1:00 AM."

So the pilot for Supah Ninjas (Ew) was not the series premiere. It makes me wonder; what will be the series premiere of the TMNT be if it's not the pilot?

[Powder]

Yes, but there was an unaired pilot to Smallville...to be fair the only difference is Martha Kent.

[Bauer536]

Sorry Powder. He does look cool by the way. I just liked it better when you had a picture that you drew from the original TMNT movie. No hard feelings.:tgrin:

This is for Jester: What do you mean there was an unaired pilot? What do you mean Martha Kent was the only difference?:teek: Are you saying there was one filmed where Annette O"toole was not Martha Kent? If so, where can I find this? They did air the Pilot, though. Right?

Here ya go:
I have it on my HD. Its pretty much shot for shot the same pilot except with a few differences in music and, of course, a different actress playing Martha.

A8dFQacmwV4&NR=1

[Bauer536]

Sorry, Jester. For some reason, I can't watch it on here. I may check it out on the actual YouTube website. Still, I've realized. Maybe I don't want to see this. I like the Pilot for the way it is. Hopefully, we'll soon find out what it will be for the TMNT.

[Whitewolf89]

They are, but you could always 'fit to page', which would make 'em pretty tiny, or divide 'em by frame and tape the printouts together.
Hmmmm, true dat, to all of it.

OR I could just use the "Custom" size thing in "Print Preview" and just keep going down in size til it fits the page, but is a size big enough to read them.

Still, your suggestion to divide them by frame makes sense, too. THAT way, I could print out each frame individuallly and either put them in seperate sheet protectors pages in a binder, OR put 'em all together and make one big poster for my wall. Either way works. (For ME, anyway.:tlol::twink::tgrin:)

I'd love to see you draw these. Can't wait. :thyper:
Well, I'll do my best NOT to disappoint you, bro. Having the pics that have been published so far helps a lot, too, actually.:twink:

:tmad:Oh my god! No! This is NOT funny. It's better to think that the quote sounds like it's from Dora, but to draw it kind of offends me.:tmad: I've seen Dora before, and I found it a nightmare. I've always found everyone on that show pretty dumb. Dora is definitely one of them since she doesn't even know how to use a map correctly or determine the difference between a square and circle. What the heck? So once I saw her head on Leo's body, I was horrified. Leo is nothing like Dora. He, along with his brothers, make mistakes, but at least he knows what a square and a circle is. :tlol: Get her head off, dear god! Same thing for Boots! Get him out of here, too!

It's funny, I've done a routine on Dora for some Open Mic Night during high school. Students loved it. I even wrote a song about it where Boots dies from Swiper the Fox, and Dora is decapitated by a katana by (Not Leo) Lara Croft.:tlol: I called it Dora is Dead.

Well this is TMNT. Kids are not the only ones who want to watch this, but the kids at heart. Inside, I'm like a kid at heart, and I love watching the creativity and cleverness of good shows. Hopefully, this will be a good show.

Like I mentioned earlier: I want new storyboards!:thyper::thyper::thyper::thyper:

Finally got to check out the pics; gotta say, solely based on what the storyboards showed, it's pretty much what I was expecting. If it's shown on regular Nick, I'll watch it. :tgrin:

I'm not sure what you mean by counting a few pilots as the series premieres... The Big Bang Theory pilot has different actors than what originally aired... Also Sheldon isn't as "nerdy" in the pilot as he is in the series...

A pilot is pretty much a prototype of a television show, shown to networks to see if they will buy it or not. Its pretty much saying 'this is what we are going for, in terms of vibe, characters, storyline, style, etc'. A lot of the time there will be different actors playing characters, parts of the story changed, etc. I think you're getting 'pilot' and 'first episode' mixed up. Now, i'm not saying that there aren't shows out there that have used the pilot for the first episode, but they are still totally different things.

[ToTheNines]

People can go ahead and quit bitching about the "We did it" thing.

I was watching the OT the other day (either The Big Blow Out or the Big Break In) and Leo says "we did it!" at one point.... Playing "Mutant Nightmare" this morning, and guess what one of Leo's line's is? "We did it!".

What's Leo say after they beat Shredder in the first movie? "We were awesome!"

Leonardo always says stuff like that, get over it.

[gobo]

Only thing I didn't like about it was that there was no apparent reason for them to celebrate. So, they pulled BaxPod down. What's to keep him from getting back up and wreaking more havoc?

[Jelly Bean]

Mikey's always been the decoy though, even in the OT he would be the one to dress up as something (sometimes as a female) and get chased.
by my count, he did that ONCE in season two, and he didn't even want to dress up like a female. I think fans over embelish how much a "decoy" Mikey is 80's toon.

But actually I don't mind him being a decoy so much I just don't want him to be as retarded as CGI movie Mikey was.

And stop thinking that Mike acts like a moron, people. He's just different than the rest. I don't mind his dopey side, and I think he has his moments of being intelligent. Give Mikey a break. He may be a lot better in this show. If not, at least the kids will enjoy him.

The only problem with that logic is: "And one thing we know about bad guys? They like chasing Mikey".

Baxter probably = their first bad guy. In the beginning of the episode he probably chases Mikey. That's what they have to go by.

So were they official or not?

Depends on what you consider "official," I suppose. Legal property of Nick/Viacom? Yeah, Rose confirmed these were the ones seen at the fan preview event a few months back. Evidence of what we might actually see in an actual episode? Maybe, maybe not.

This is similar to the pizza box thread when people posted the information about the Nick screening, and then it had to be removed...it's not your fault, Winters.

...only to find out after much "IT WAS SO COOL BUT WE CAN'T SHARE IT OMAIGAWD" that they actually c ould share most of the information.

So, should I assume that Toon just meant that unauthorized = UNofficial? O_o I'm still trying to figure that one out.

I'm sad I missed the story boards while they were up, I just now read this thread. Hopefully the guy from Nick isn't in any trouble
