Come Out On Blu-Ray??

[bloodstainedwings]

Do any of you think this show will come out on Blu-Ray?? I sure hope it does, its 2012 and Blu-Ray is the new norm.

[Zany Orange Dude]

There's a chance eventually. It probably won't come out on DVD or Blu-Ray until sometime next year though.

[The Stryker]

Depends on the popularity of the show and the cost effectiveness of doing that.

They didn't even release Adventure Time on Blu and that's one of the biggest shows currently.

My guess though? No.

[Moonlight1102]

The only show Nickelodeon has ever released on Blu-ray was Spongebob Squarepants, but that's only because Spongebob is Nickelodeon's poster boy.

[Heather Breckel]

Probably not, I couldn't even see Legend of Korra getting a blu-ray set and that show had crazy good ratings. Cartoons generally don't get the blu-ray treatment unless they're anime or the regular sets are making ridiculous amounts of money already.

Adventure Time really isn't a good example seeing as it airs on Cartoon Network, and they never release their shows.

I can see TMNT coming out on Blu, but only if the show does beyond Nickelodeon's expectations.

Maybe it should come out on Romano-Ray instead. :lol:

But it can fit a single season of one disc which would be convienent, and of course this wouldn't happen until after the last episode of the first season airs, and DVDs are still doable on a smaller budget than Blu-Ray is.

Reading jokes dorkier than mine around here is kinda refreshing... mostly mind-blowing, but kinda refreshing, nonetheless.

And Nickelodeon puts out blu-rays all the time? Which show besides Spongebob even has dedicated season sets much less blu releases.

The only way they'd consider it is if the show becomes a gigantic worldwide hit and that might be a long shot at best.

BluRay is so over-rated IMO! I've only bought one movie on BluRay and that was a copy of Mamma Mia, which I got for my parents as a Christmas present. The really ironic thing there is the fact that I'm the only person in the whole family who cares about special features.

[Brandon]

I hope.

I wish the DVD format would just die already so people would start bringing shows to blu-ray. Blows my mind how a bunch of live action shows that are being shot for HD aren't even being released on blu-ray. Surly the cost isn't THAT much.

Overrated? You clearly have a junk TV if you think blu-ray is overrated.

Not only does it give far superior audio quality the video quality.. the colors and blacks are just gorgeous. Someone needs to sit you down infront of a decent TV and show you Avatar and then come back and try to make that "overrated" statement without laughing. Not demeaning your opinion but as someone who has been in the AVT business for 15 years my passion is all about video and audio and blu-ray? completely wipes the floor with dvd.

[TMNT_Guy]

I'm on Blu-Ray being overated side. I do agree that if it's digitaly made it should be released on Blu-Ray, though. I hate how if you put a normal DVD in a Blu-Ray it attempts "enhance" them. My Popeye DVDs for example are nearly unwatchable on a Blu-Ray.

I've seen Avatar on Blu-Ray with a HD TV and the visuals were ok. Cliché plot aside, I still don't get the hype that movie gets. Jurassic Park was more visualy stunning to me.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Who knows for sure, but as others have already said, it's doubtful

Example: Back to the Future, Star Wars, Star Trek TNG.

But studios can throw anything on a Blu-ray disc and have it be technically high definition. There are reviews for this kind of thing, to find out if they really did the work.


But no, I wouldn't count on Nick Turtles being on Blu-Ray. Most cartoons aren't. But at least we've reached a point where about 100% of shows come out of DVD. Even if the show lasts 6 episodes, we should be able to own it.

[Vegeta]

Have to agree with Brandon. Why cant Dvds just die already? They look like crap and blu ray players are no longer expensive. If you find blu rays overrated than you must not enjoy a higher quality product.

[Bossa Nova]

I for one am not ready to forgo my small yet precious DvD collection in order to throw money at something else I don't have, want or need like Blu-Ray, so I'd be content if the show just came out on DvD. But I'm not really getting my hopes up too high on that. The My Little Pony series is a HUGE hit right now, and I've yet to see more than just a couple episodes per disk for sale (unless I've just been living under a rock and the full seasons are actually out somewhere), and there's no telling if TMNT will have the same kind of take off as that show has managed to accumulate for itself.

[The Stryker]

MLP is kind of a bad example because it's fanbase is mostly internet going 20 and 30 somethings over kids and those people have the means to just download or stream the show willy nilly.

gotta blame Hasbro on this one, it is a company that is more concerned with toy sells then dvd sells (hence why the two dvds has a motif [one the friendship train and the other being the ROYAL CANTERLOT wedding)
I guess when Hasbro believes that the could sell all the toys they can for the new gen that they can, they might do box sets before they move onto the next generation

Now not too say thats not entirely true, since their other shows like Transformers gets complete sets, even on blue ray (Prime), now this might be because in the past, Transformers videos might of sold better than MLP videos

whoa... feels wierd if you replace MLP with TMNT XP

[Bossa Nova]

That's true (for MLP) and I hadn't actually considered that. I personally dislike downloading and would prefer to have an actual, physical hard copy of something in my hand I know I can take with me and won't get lost or whatever, but I suppose many of my peers don't feel otherwise. Still, it's not to say the show doesn't have a decent child fanbase, but I can see your point as to why DVDs may not be the big ticket item. But perhaps that does give me a bit more hope about TMNT hitting the disks.

I wasn't typing about a Blu-Ray disk I had. I was talking about how Blu-Ray players also play normal DVDs and how the players try to "enhance" the DVD's picture quality. I've noticed however if a DVD of a cartoon/movie/TV show that was shot digitaly is played on a Blu=Ray player it look great.

However, if you play a DVD of a cartoon/movie/TV show that was not made digitaly on a Blu-Ray player it looks like crap. Best example I can give are my Popeye DVDs. When they are played on a Blu-Ray the white become so bright that it over shadows the black, making it look like theres a huge snow storm.

Another great example is the Batman: The Animated Series DVDs. Remember how dark and gritty that show was? Well, everything becomes so bright that it looks like everyone is on a full lighted soundstage with a painted night background behind them. Worst is that the picture become pixelated.

This sounds like an issue with the upscaling settings on your player/s. Upscaling can look quite lovely, never as good as Blu, but quite nice.

As for this show on Blu-Ray it would mean rescanning all the original elements in HD.

There would be no more detail, but certainly a sharper image and greater colour clarity.

Alternatively, they could take the SD episodes as they exist and put them all onto Blu-Ray discs, which would mean you could fit the whole series onto just a handful of BD's.

Thats not the upscaling. Those batman dvds look terrible because the creators are against touching up the animation. Thus, they look like vhs. I love that show but i hate those sets.

[TMNT_Guy]

What.

How do they look anything like VHS? They look great on DVD.

[Vegeta]

I have to disagree...very fuzzy and washed out. But if you enjoy them good, its one of the best cartoons of all time! They should release the earth worm jim cartoon. Have they?

[TMNT_Guy]

Maybe this topic should be moved to Everything Else? It kind of has nothing to do with TMNT anymore.
