TMNT CGI Pilot 2001

[sdp]

I find it interesting how you can see a few things from the KidsWB pitch in the CG pitch like Shredder having the same design.

And as far as more information on the CG pitch we never got Roseangelo of the forums won a book on ebay about it and she said there was nothing earthshattering in it. Though I do wish VaughnMichael had won the auction since we'd have gotten scans and I'd love to see more from that show.

I realized that a while after I posted it. You'd think I'd have remembered from the get-go, what with '2K3'. ^_^;

And thanks for that vid Goongasnootch, I never saw that before either. I quite liked that one too, though I mainly really like that song they've got playing in the background heh.

The planned WB series was going to be CG too though? I saw some of the designs for that and it looked more traditional animation styled.

From MikeysTMNT.com, once upon a time:

Yes, TMNT fan art is heading to every venue imaginable... Here's an awesome 3D animation directed by Floyd Bishop and his production team at Ice Pond Studio. He had this to say about it: "Here you can see a quicktime of a test we did for Mirage Publishing and 4Kids Entertainment. The test was completed from start to finish under the unbelievable constraints of just two weeks."

So, no. That wasn't the WB's thing. The WB series was going to be traditional, cel animation.

Also, in case you aren't aware, that song is one of White Zombie's *ahem* hits.

Ohh, ok. So this was just early groundwork for 2K3, literally. Someone said that and I didn't get it I guess...*bops head*

These both would have been kind of cool to see one still of in the multiverse shot, I never would have known what they were from heh.

This takes me back. I think I was in High School when I first saw this. Kinda disappointed that we didn't get a show based on this, but we did get the 4kids cartoon so I guess it was a fair trade.
