First UK DVD

[Hero]

Due for release 25th March.
http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/39409815/0/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Rise-Of-The-Turtles-Season-1-Volume-1/ListingDetails.html

No episode details but there is a running time of 2hrs 12 Minutes approx, so it is a guess how many episodes are there.

[gobo]

Educated guess: 6 eps @ 24 minutes each.

[Hero]

Most likely. I think past TMNT UK volumes have been 6 episodes a piece.

[Hero]

The Amazon UK pre-order (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AJZSJUE/ref=s9_newr_co_d15_g74_ir02?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=left-2&pf_rd_r=1FTWDJSX542Z5GJ5VZNJ&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496393&pf_rd_i=typ01) is just £7.49 (inc postage) and has a free Leonardo bandana.

[Chris]

Must admit this is pretty tempting. Widescreen (unlike the US DVD), R2 so my Blu-Ray player can upscale (still holding out for Blu-Ray really but that's the next best thing). The decider will be if this is edited or not. I refuse to pay for a cut version of the show. Especially stupid cuts like "mom" in the first episode.

Recent episodes haven't (noticeably) been cut so I guess there's some hope they're just using the US masters now. But the cuts in the pilot were pretty bad so I'm really hoping it's not that version.

[Spitfire]

They still release stuff that isn't widescreen? We live in the year 2013 and fullscreen TVs have been out of circulation for a long while now. Mind blown.

[Chris]

Well apparently the US box says fullscreen but it's now been confirmed the actual DVD is widescreen. Strange, and one less reason to get the UK release.

So for me

Pros
- R2 so my Blu-Ray will upscale

Cons
- May be edited

Think I'll wait and hope for a US Blu-Ray release once the season is finished. But if anyone can confirm that the episodes are uncut then I may be tempted to grab it, especially if I can find it cheap enough.

Pros

There is no difference between an upscaled DVD and a non-upscaled DVD.

[gobo]

There obviously is a difference between an upscaled DVD and a non-upscaled DVD. One is upscaled, and the other is non-upscaled. Duh.

The Amazon UK pre-order (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AJZSJUE/ref=s9_newr_co_d15_g74_ir02?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=left-2&pf_rd_r=1FTWDJSX542Z5GJ5VZNJ&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496393&pf_rd_i=typ01) is just £7.49 (inc postage) and has a free Leonardo bandana.
Pre-ordered :tgrin:

[Chris]

The good news;

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-rise-turtles-0

Passed without cuts :tgrin: (now we just have to hope Nick UK submitted the uncut masters rather than the UK TV edits).

Little unsure as the UK running time is 132 but the US running time is 145. I know there's a speed difference between PAL and NTSC that gives the UK discs a slightly shorter running time, but that's a big difference.

The bad news;

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-rise-turtles

We get 1 bonus feature (Mutation of a Scene for Rise of the Turtles Part 1 according to Amazon). I'm not bothered about the karaoke theme song, but the US release got behind the scenes features for all 6 episodes :tsad:

[Longview01]

I've got this pre-ordered but if i'm not happy with it then I will get the US one imported and collect those instead

I have to get most of my TV dvd's from the US now a days so it doesn't make much difference

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I really hope they don't put the edited versions on, I still am going to wait for the complete season 1 Boxset, most likely be out shortly after Season 1 has had its run.

Although that Leo mask.......:o

[Ecto Jedi]

Hmm. The UK gets better cover art. Strangely enough, the North American DVDs had that image as the main menu background -- so why not have it as the cover as well? It's bad-ass.

[Rise1184]

Thanks for the info! I pre-ordered a copy yesterday. I guess I'm going to be purchasing 2 copies, for each volume, from now on. For the bonuses of course, such as the poster (U.S. Release), Leonardo mask (U.K), I can only imagine they will have more bonuses with future volumes. If no more bonuses for the U.S., I'll be keeping my eyes on the U.K. :teek:

[Half Shell]

Good to see the turtles on DVD.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

There obviously is a difference between an upscaled DVD and a non-upscaled DVD. One is upscaled, and the other is non-upscaled. Duh.

Duh.

When I say that there's "no difference" I mean that there is almost no increase in quality in an 'upscaled' DVD. The Blu-Ray player tries to make a DVD higher quality by playing it at a higher bitrate, which does almost nothing to improve the picture. You really can't make a 480p image 1080p unless you clean it up by hand.

[hudemx]

The UK Coverart is a big improvement over the US One :)

Glad the Rest of Europe ist getting it as well ^^

I think the bandana promotion would have been more fun if the color was random.

I'm guessing the bandana promotion could run into future releases. Leonardo is central on the cover for this one, so it may indicate what the next set and cover art could be like if the mask bundle continues.

Yup, I thought the same thing. That's why I'm keeping my eye on future volumes, hopefully they continue with the rest of the bandanas :tgrin:

Definitely looking forward to the next volumes, from both U.S. and worldwide.

On the bright side, that's actually the image they use for the exclusive poster they've been hyping.

[ironman29758]

I just wish for a TMNT DVD box cover that resembles mirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles#1 similar to how they do it in the 2012 theme song.

[Hero]

I am sure a still of that iconic shot will be used for something. Its too good to leave alone.

Hope you're right.@

Anyone picked this up yet? Just saw it in Tesco at lunch for £7 but passed after seeing how badly Nick UK butchered I, Monster the other week.

If you have picked it up are they the uncut US episodes or the UK TV edits?

Mine came from Amazon on Mon,
Only watched the first ep, it's uncut tho :)

No Exclusive bandana though, I wonder if they when they say 'mask' they mean the card sleeve, does the regular release have a card sleeve?

Cheers,
Doug

[Jay $tarkiller]

Great to hear! Just ordered it from Amazon.uk..

I've got a bandanna :P

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Can anyone tell me the audio mix for this DVD? Is it stereo or 5.1?

[HugeBadWolf]

I've got a bandanna :P

Right, I'd better e amazon then...

Cheers,

Oh, and :P to you too

Uncut? So we finally get Mikey's first "mom" line and his brief kusurigama kata? Excellent!! Thanks :D

[Hero]

Dolby Digital 5.1

[MrTMNT2012]

Finally got my copy today, after searching for SOOO Long (Tesco, HMV etc. Were ALL Sold out!)

Gotta say though, totally worth it. Just finished watching all the Episodes and I'm impressed by the sound, quality and extras this DVD Features :)
Plus I got the poster and Leo mask so I really loved what I got!

Definitely better than any TMNT DVD Volumes in the past, I highly recommend it 8.5/10 :)

[Rise1184]

Just got mine in the mail today:

Pretty cool!

[Hero]

I've not watched my copy yet. But I am sure anyone else who made the purchase can clarify if I Monster is un-cut or the Nick UK edit.

[Chris]

Isn't this just the first 6? I, Monster is 13 so it'll either be the last episode of the next DVD or the first episode of the third DVD.

With all the reports of the first DVD being uncut I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm holding off buying any DVDs until they reach that episode just to be safe! The butchering Nick UK did to that episode was the worst I've seen in a long time.

What did they cut?

[Chris]

Off the top of my head;

April's rescue - she just appea with them on the rooftops

Leo blowing up the wall of rats - cuts from him going to draw his katana to te explosion

Leo showing Splinter the picture of his family

The may have been more smaller cuts but those were the real noticeable ones.

The second volume will be coming out on July 15th (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Shredder/dp/B00CCE6VRS/ref=sr_1_27?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1367595256&sr=1-27)!

A poster will be included with the German edition (http://www.amazon.de/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Aufstieg/dp/B00BRC6Q0I/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1367595545&sr=1-1), but if Amazon is correct the English audio won't be! :roll:
Hope the Dutch edition (coming June 19th) will have it.

Amazon is NOT correct ;)
I asked Paramount and they said that not "Estnisch" would be included but the "Englisch" original language - it was a typo which amazon hasn't corrected yet ^^

[joefsas]

Mum got me the dvd for my b-day :D. Got the leo mask in it too!

[Hero]

Thanks for the heads up. No confirmation of a bandana/poster or extra premium at least yet, but early days.

Will pre-order but no rush yet.

That's good news, not including the English audio would have been strange.
Thanks for the info. ;)

[Da Senzai]

Hi!

Can anyone who, have watched the whole UK-dvd, please confirm if it is the censored version or the uncut version of the show.

Thanks for your help :)

[jenna]

It's un-censored. :)

[Da Senzai]

That is awesome!

Thank You!

Can´t wait to see it then :D

[astig]

got mine today! will be watching it in the weekend :)

[CowabungaMikey]

Hope the Dutch edition (coming June 19th) will have it.


Can't wait for the Dutch DVD! Want it! :trazz:

[kelligrafie]

It's just nice to have a Turtles DVD available in my region!!!

I'm having to order series 3 onwards of the original series through from America but it means I'll have to play them on the laptop and keep it purely for US DVDs and watch everything else on the family TV. Annoying.

[hudemx]

So got the german DVD early and yeah it's uncut :D

Furthermore unlike other Paramount DVDs it doesn't feature the bland Silver Disk just with the DVD Title on it (like the US Version) but has the Coverart branded on it :)
Also it's not just packed in a black Amary Case but a green one ^^

Poster however is a lackluster, it's just a small A4 Poster with Leonardo (unlike the US Poster with the Coverart) however, if you turn it around it's features a quarter of a larger Picture, which means that if you collect 4 posters (possibly 3 more on the next DVD Volumes) you get a big Poster with the Turtles eating Pizza and playing videogames (a promotional Picture which was posted a long time ago on the board)

Post some Photos as soon as I started writing the Review for my german TMNT Blog.

That's great news, I hope the Dutch edition will also be treated like this.
Should be coming out in a few weeks.

[xChri5x]

6 episodes is ridiculous. They won't stop with this practice if people keep buying their skimpy sets. There will be 4 or 5 different DVD sets you'll need to buy to for only one season.

hi hudmx!
nice to hear you got the dvd a little sooner..you are talking about vol 2...enter shredder dvd right??

[hudemx]

No it won't they just would stop releasing the show on DVD. Trust me - I worked in the "industry".
Be glad that we got at least 6 to 7 episodes per Volume, that means "only" 4 Sets per Season (as of now). Much better than the times they released one to two episodes on VHS and 3 to 4 episodes on DVD!

@ marcelangelo:
Well, no read the threat title and you will see I talk about the german Release of Volume 1 "Rise of the Turtles"

[SS Kakarot]

Looks like The Netherlands will be getting the same cover.

Tell me about, I have not gone down the road of getting Region 1 DVDs, too expensive, but I am sure we will get a complete season 1 of the new TMNT series around the same time as the US.

[SS Kakarot]

I received the Dutch DVD today, it's the same as the German edition, even includes the poster!
The only difference is that the case is clear, not green.
Still better than a black case I guess. :ohwell:

I got mine a 4 days ago too. (pre-order) It's awesome, but too bad it's a 4-part poster.

Positive Review for "Enter Shredder".

Can't wait to buy this, especially for that Epic Shredder Battle at the end of The Gauntlet! I don't think my TV can handle the awesomeness. ;)
