Outside of the comics?

- Hand drawn 2D cartoons = Original show and 4kids

- CG cartoon = Nick

- Live-action show = Next Mutation

- Anime = TMNT Anime OVA

- Live action theatrical Movies = Original movie trilogy

- CG movie = 4th TMNT movie

- Hybrid Movie = Michael Bay movie

- Music = Coming out of their Shells Tour


I mean they did everything from cartoons, to CG cartoons, to anime, to live action, to movies, to music, etc. Its amazing.

Where's our Broadway special!?

Jokes aside, one thing that hasn't been done yet (well, not in full) that I've long been pining for, is claymation.

& before anyone thinks I don't know my ish, yes, I know there was a commercial like that. I want an entire movie/show. :trazz:

A claymation tmnt thing would be pretty cool.

JamieH,Its not as campy as Coming Out Of Our Shells Tour. I believe your a fan,but even as a kid I thought it was a bad idea and the plot does not help it either. The We Wish You A Turtles Christmas is an improvement on this bad concept of the turtles being muscians and randomly breaking out in song. Its TMNT and Christmas so it has that going for it and I believe is stronger than Turtles Tunes that came around the same time. Such poor quality in both.

Snake,if I am not mistaken claymation was used in advertisements for TMNT productios during Turtle Mania.

Cubed,your breaking it down a bit much. Its animation,movies,comics,ad toys. The rest is just branches off of that.

We have genetic research and science, why aren't they real yet. If we make them real there will be more options.

'Course, then they're slaves for human entertainment doing countless live action movies/shows and will never get away from the fangirls... Never mind. I like them too much to want to subject them to reality. :P

Eh, I'd say after the Tour turtles and music just got worse. The Tour was also an experience for kids. As campy and bad as it was, kids ate it up, 7 year old me did.

We can look back and see how horrible it was now. But it wasn't so bad in the moment... well, it probably was for the parents and guardians.

No, not at all. TMNT has been a popular franchise since the FW toon, so it was only a matter of time before it spread into several types of media just like Batman, Spider-Man and others did. TMNT were ahead of Marvel when it came to getting an anime based on them, though.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.

Is there a TMNT ride yet? I think one of them interactive rides like they got with the Simpsons, POTC or Finding Nemo would be fun in a TMNT fashion.

I hope there comes a day when TMNT have a TMNT day like Disney has Star Wars days, complete with parades and appearances by actors and stunt doubles.

This kind of reminds me of what happened to Captain America in his first movie.

Well Mall of America supposedly has a ride, though the style of ride, while not being something I'd ever seen prior to a video, is kinda crazy looking I'm not quite sure how it relates them realaly.

Now an interactive ride as you suggest would be really cool! While they're at it, just do an entire TMNT area like they've done with Harry Potter. And good luck then getting us to leave at closing time. lol :)

Granted we can always just visit NYC, but that would require a lot more imagination. lol

As in a live-action porn movie? Doubt it was here. Our local porn industry is very small and I'd probably have heard of it by now if something like that had been made here.

It's from Argentina(he says it at the 1:46 mark), not Brazil or Portugal. In fact, the title of the movie is in Spanish and not in Portuguese.

Hahaha, oh wow, that review is priceless. :lol:

I actually can't help but feel let down that the costumes are so mundane. I was expecting something so much more from a live-action Turtles skin-flick. Like guys, if you're going to do something so demented, at least commit to it and go all the way!

I've got to ask how you found out that this madness actually existed, Powder.

At least they haven't touched Power Rangers. I think.

It's kind of lame how they only now just take a real title of a movie or a show and tack on "An XXX Parody" after it. Sometimes they might even add "Not" at the beginning of the title. Like, for instance, "Not M*A*S*H". They used to just take the real title and twist it around somehow, like taking "The Sopranos" and calling it "The Sopornos".

The possibilities could be quite interesting. Maybe have the ride itself could made to look like the Turtle van. It could start in the sewers and then get but wild throughout NYC. Maybe then, after the ride is over, it ends up in what would be a makeshift area of the Turtle lair. That is where they could stick the characters for kids to get pictures with.

So true. I also once went to a Chinese restaurant when I was a kid, and they actually called their turtle soup the Michelangelo Special. That turned me off from Chinese food for a long time.

o.O WOW. Way to try to include pop culture references, guys... and fail at it.

Sounds like an older cousin of mine that would not eat pork for a long time as a child because of Porky Pig.

I hope Mr. Murakami has stopped carrying turtle soup...

There are still possibilities for new Turtles. Aside from the previously suggested interpretive dance there hasn't been a TMNT radio show as far as I'm aware.

As a fan, I'm not wild about a lot of stuff that has come out of this property. TMNT as well as a lot of the most popular superheroes have been exploited to death to the point of utter parody. As much nostalgia as I have for the 1987 cartoon, that's all it is... nostalgia. If I had my way, TMNT would consist of comic books, the 87 cartoon series (which would have had the tone of say, Batman The Animated Series or hell the 4Kids series, IF ONLY I WERE IN CHARGE), live action films (all with the tone of the first film), toys and merchandise (of course) and further cartoon series/comics series.

I wish that music tours and low budget live action tv shows were never attempted. The further they get away from the seriousness of Mirage/Image/IDW etc. well, the turtles are worse for it.

Action/darkness and violence with introspection and A LITTLE humor are perfect for the TMNT (This is just one fan's opinion).
