TMNT dvds?

[Tokka-B]

Hey, I am new here, so I don't know if this has already been discussed, so here goes:

Does anyone know if there will ever the old TMNT cartoon on dvd? And if it will, will they release it by seasons cuz that seems to be how most studios are doing it now...?

I believe the company FredWolfFilms owns the rights to the old cartoons, if anyone can verify this I'd like to know... Thanks a bunch! :wink: :twink:

[Karpo_007]

There was a rumor that an animated DVD will come ut next spring. what will be on it, remains to be seen.

[Mondo_Gecko]

That will be awesome. I bet it will be the first season which is the pe fec t start to a TMNT DVD collection.

[Karpo_007]

It might be just a rumor. But who knows?

[Joos_Valgaeren]

a TMNT DVD collection would be quality !

they did it with the thundercats, and a few with the Biker Mice From Mars, here in the UK anyway, so i dont see why they should hold back with the TMNT.

maybe the fact that a lot of people aren't interested in them over here anymore is the real reason......... :(

[Mondo_Gecko]

Theres a Thundercat and Bijer Mice DVD?

[Joos_Valgaeren]

yeah man, i was in a mesgastore a while ago and happened to spot them, although my mate bought them a few weeks ago too.

the thundercats where rubbish but the Biker Mice From Mars where so cool :D , the bikes made me want to upgrade some rocket launchers into my rally wheeler !!!

anyway they where still no match for our Pizza eating turtles !!!!!!

[Shellfox]

Biker Mice, Sweet I loved that show, but the closest I've found is an old VHS I found at a second hand store and a few rare sites

[PWDESAI]

ugh biker mice from mars, one of the biggest and worst rip offs of the tmnt....
i hated that show so much
those thunder cats should eat the biker mice

[azure turtle]

Yeah... The old TMNT toon on DVD is just a rumor for now. I bet if the new show does well, we'll be seeing the old show on DVD. ;)

[Joos_Valgaeren]

the TMNT old series on DVD is a bit like clean water

A PRIORITY

[Tokka-B]

I agree with you....a priority at the LEAST! I agree Azure, they will probably release it on dvd if the new show does good, because most likely it will attract the veterans, and if the veterans are interested again, they will want dvds. But think about all the extras that can be on each season, its pretty amazing what they COULD do. Regardless, we should write to the people who own the rights and beg for dvds or start a petition, surprisingly enough a lot of companies check out petitions. :wink:

[Joos_Valgaeren]

thing is though, if they did convert TMNT to DVD, then i bet they'd "upgrade" the graphics and suchforth, into possibly a "3d version"

that would be absolutely dreadful,and god forbid that happened, but i can see it being a possibility

[Tokka-B]

Ok...Now why the heck do you think they would make it 3-d?? That would be the most pointless thing they could do to lose money, how did that come to your thinking??? Dvds always pertain to the original, so please don't freak people out like that... :o :o :evil:

[Jephael]

It wouldn't hurt though to have a 3-D gallery of the main characters from the show as they appeared back then.

[Tokka-B]

Yea, I guess that is true...they could have a really cool extra feature in 3-d, but not the actual shows.

Just signed it, go sign the petition everyone!!!!! :thyper: :thyper: :thyper: :thyper: :thyper: :thyper:

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

The old cartoon coming out on DVD will depend, I believe, whether or not the new cartoon does well when it debuts in February. If there is a positive response to it, we may see the rejuvenation of the franchise and people will be looking to cash in on this bandwagon.

However, if the new cartoon flops, producers will be turned off by the Ninja Turtles and a DVD project will not happen.

So tell everyone you know (and even those you don't know!) to watch the new cartoon when it comes out. I want the old cartoon to come out on DVD so badly that I can taste it. I don't care if there aren't any extras. I would be happy just to get all 193 episodes in DVD format.

[Ratking]

hehe id kill for them too. While i dont think the new series will go well, i will make sure that everyone i know watched it.

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

I, too, have my doubts about this new series. But I hate to judge something before it has a chance to prove itself. I have been wrong before, and I hope that I am wrong here.

I really want the series to do well . . . because I really want the old cartoon to come out on DVD!

Okay, I confess: my motives are selfish. But I don't care! :goof:

"Well, that sure was . . . stupid!" - Raphael, from "Planet of the Turtleoids"

[Karpo_007]

Why do you have doubts? On paer it sounds perfect right now. And I have heard that the animation studio that is making it can really do animation? There are said to be character develpment what was totally absent in the old toon. Actually you can't even compare, if the series over view is true. Old cartoon just used Same plot in every episodes. Today im startinf a new season of the old too, It starts with an episode "Night of The dark turtle". I have heard that this season and the red sky seasons are better but I shall see.

[Tokka-B]

Yea, that is true, I'd just want them all on dvd even with no extra features, but features are always good anyway... Besides if you play a video like 10 times it will start breaking down, that's why they need it on dvd which will last forever... The company probably thinks that if the new tmnt does good the fans will be seeking the older one, but I personally think that you can't really compare the 2 at all with over a decade in time difference. I bet fans will still want the old ones even if the new ones flop, but that's just me...Bah..Only time will tell... :wink: Regardless, watch the new one anyway, because that is what the company wants to do good!

[Joos_Valgaeren]

Tokka sorry to upset you but on the Thundercats DVD they upgraded the graphics and animation and to be fair it took the appeal right out it

thats the only reason i suggested they might do it with the turtles.

no need to be all paranoid...

[Tokka-B]

Sorry if I overreacted, but I can't stand the conversion to CGI, it just seems rediculous. And did they convert that to better graphics or to 3-d?

[Joos_Valgaeren]

half and half really

some of the "fight scenes" went to 3-D, but the overall look was just upgraded graphics, not much of a difference though,and it took away the "retro childhood feel":(

[Tokka-B]

I don't mind much if it is just enhanced digital crap, but keep the animation the same...Besides, I don't really like the Thundercats anymore anyway...

[Reznorite420]

ugh biker mice from mars, one of the biggest and worst rip offs of the tmnt....You think everything that has humanoid animals in it is a ripoff of TMNT, when in fact the storyline has little if anything in common to do with it. In case you didn't know, the origin of the TMNT was a parody of Daredevil's creation. Then you call Bucky O'Hare a ripoff when all it has to do with is aliens and not mutants.

Point: shut your prepubescent (sp?) mouth if you don't know what you're talking about.

[Jephael]

Samuri Pizza Cats was probably more of a rip on the TMNT, if you ask me. The Biker Mice were kinda different.

[Reznorite420]

I would be happy just to get all 193 episodes in DVD format.Perhaps, but at the same time, I hope it doesn't come to DVD any time soon. For people like me who took so much time out of their lives to download all 193 eps for free off IRC, then all that work and effort will have been in vain.

[Reznorite420]

While i dont think the new series will go wellUhhhh, why do you think that?

[Joos_Valgaeren]

Samurai Pizza Cats :lol: , oh dear, what a farce

ok i have an off the topic question i'd like to get clear up, who was the biker mice' enemy again ?

[Tokka-B]

I hope they release all 193 episodes on dvd soon, so it will prevents morons who download the episodes and cheat the company.... :evil: :x :evil:

[Tokka-B]

Sorry if I am a bit of a goody goody, but people need to realize they won't release them on dvd if people are downloading them, cause they won't make any money, I'm sorry, but I just want them really bad on dvd!!!!

[Karpo_007]

I agree with tokka somewhat. I think that TMNT DVD's shouldt be downloaded. If the TMNT DVD will sell good enough, We might have a special edition in the Future.

As for the cartoon, There is nothing wrong in Downloading them. They probably will never release it to DVD, and if they will probably only the first season. And if that happens, of course everyone wants The first season in DVD quality, not pretty much low quality VHS rips.

[Jephael]

I could see them releasing the second and third seasons as a boxset though, and simply disregard the episodes that were done in the '90s.

[Karpo_007]

Maybe. The Third season was still quite allright with Casey, Usagi and the Big trilogy. But season 4-6 + euro eps... No point in releasing them. Today I watched episode Night of the dark turtle, and I must say this season looks promising.

[Jephael]

Yeah, 1993 had to be one of the better years of the series back then. I especially liked the episode where Baxter went around turning people into humanoid bugs.

[Tokka-B]

I think if they release season 1 on dvd, they will most likely have to release all the seasons on dvd, and I don't see why not, they can't just leave you at a cliff hanger there.

Also, to clear this up, the biggest TMNT rip-off had to be Extreme Dinosaurs, I mean come on, they even had their own special food preference, hot and spicy :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Mondo_Gecko]

I know probabaly everyone will disagree with me but i liked the season that had Mondo Gecko, Muckman, Mutagen Man and Wingnu in them. I especially liked the Mondo Gecko episode that has to be my fav out of all them, but they were still cool,

[Jephael]

Mondo has always been my favorite secondary character, but I prefer the origin they gave him in the Archie comics alot more.

[Karpo_007]

I like the archie origin better too. I used to have that issue.

Now that I think of it, Venus had kind of same origin that the Mondo in the cartoon.

[Jephael]

Yeah, that they were both mutated along with the TMNT and Splinter in the sewers.

[Mondo_Gecko]

Yeah Mondo is my fav mutant other then the turtles. I also perfer the Archie Origin too.

[Mondo_Gecko]

Other then Mondo Gecko did anyone like the other mutants like Muckman or the Frogs?

[Ratking]

the frogs! they kicked, as soon as i first saw them i new that they would be back again in the series.

[Mondo_Gecko]

Yeah i loved the frogs my two fav episodes are the ones when they get mutated and when Leatherhead gets mutated.

Its a shame they n ever made Atilla or Rasputin toys i would have got them. I was always sad that i had two frogs.

[Raphael]

Tokka sorry to upset you but on the Thundercats DVD they upgraded the graphics and animation and to be fair it took the appeal right out it

thats the only reason i suggested they might do it with the turtles.

no need to be all paranoid...What are you talking about? There isn't a Thundercats DVD...

[Joos_Valgaeren]

there is actually

over here anyway, why would i lie about it ? i didnt think much of them to be honest but my mate loves them, he bought them and purchased the full on DVD

[Raphael]

there is actually

over here anyway, why would i lie about it ? i didnt think much of them to be honest but my mate loves them, he bought them and purchased the full on DVDI live in England too :P
