That thing looks awesome, wish I could be at SDCC to see it!

Still hate this promotion though.

[IndigoErth]

Supportive response: :o Cool!

Cynical response: ...so that's where the Pizza Hut promo budget went.

[Galactus]

I gotta admit that is awesome and actually cooler than the turtles clown car from the upcoming movie.

Ridiculous response: Is that where baby pizzas come from?

[trikuza]

They should let people step in and fire off a few pizzas at someone. Like dunk tanks at a carnival.

[Donatello19]

Are they going to shoot off actual pizzas? Because that would be a huge waste of food, not to mention a mess.

[trikuza]

Probably pizza boxes. As a pizza hut delivery type thing.

Dammit that elevator joke was funny at the start but now it's just stupid.
WTH is Leonardo doing?

Naturally. And smacking people in the face is what breathes life into them.

Made in 'merica for sure.

haha i know. im trying to stand in front of the crosshairs and reach my fate lol

[ssjup81]

That's pretty cool. I want to see it launch real pizzas! Pizza Hut workers, dressed as turtles, go around town, shooting up Dominoes and Papa Johns customers outside their shops. :lol:

Wait, was there ever a pizza launcher playmates toy, or was that only that OT garbage launcher?Dammit that elevator joke was funny at the start but now it's just stupid.
WTH is Leonardo doing?I'm constantly distracted by it. Those turtles are getting down with their bad selves, especially Leo. :trazz: I'm curious as to what is actually going on in that scene. I laugh every time I see it, and looking at that .gif while listening to music is even funnier.

[Fourcylinder]

There was definitely a pizza launcher toy, they actually did a decent job of adapting it.

An evil Turtle twin, you are. :lol:

[ssjup81]

Welcome to modern American civil warfare... lol
Oh, forgot to add one, while they're shooting it, they will shout, "Pizza Power!!" like in the old turtles games like Turtles in Time and Hyperstone Heist. lol

Hm, or maybe, "Turtles shoot with honor!" lol

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

Very despicable of you! In a good way.
:P

I sure hope so...that would be awesome. Before Man of Steel opened the suit toured the US and it was just like 2 hours away from me and I didn't know about it until it was too late. Bummer

[Candy Kappa]

That is pretty sweet looking.

[Tora]

I got the Pizza Thrower for my 9th Birthday! Great memories.

Really awesome that they would build it to look like a vintage toy from the 87 line.

[Wildcat]

Oh my gosh its so awesome. I still have my original pizza thrower toy but the wheel section went missing. Oddly not the pizza discs.

Why are people complaining that this is what their promotion is? They build a real life classic toy and people complain? Come on.

[BabyTurtles]

that's awesome but....how is that launcher gonna work without causing a hot cheesy mess??? :-?

[IndigoErth]

Frozen pizzas, that'll make it funner.

Pizza's hut "promotion" consists of a hidden menu on their online pizza ordering website with "special" TMNT pies that a normal person would never even be able to find on their website. You can't even get the turtle pies in the actual restaurants, it's online only. The commercial consists of nothing but slightly edited animation from the movie. There are no special items that you can buy or anything, and because stupid Pizza Hut got the license, we're missing out on a good promotion from somewhere like Mcdonald's. Pizza Hut might as well have done nothing, because they really haven't anyway.

Bold is not true In fact i just walked in and order Donnie's and Raph's Pizza perfectly fine

Also The menu is not hidden it was on the front page Easy access.

Second They have new Pizza boxes with Movie turtles branded all over them

These are likely the boxes with the ARG codes/urls to exclusive content they talked about during their press release

they have a presents at comic con for the movie were they give out free pizza and allow you to take photos with the turtles.

They also have a life size functioning pizza thrower.

You want more??? seriously?

stickers? cups? toys? its pizza hutt they are doing so much more then anything i would have expected

As in you literally asked for Donatello and Raphael pies, or just ordered a pizza with the exact same toppings?

Excuse me for missing the tiny logo on the corner of one of the pictures.

Apparently those are only at SDCC (?) and even if not, you only get them if you order a turtle pie online.

And everything at SDCC doesn't really matter, a promotion should promote the movie to a wide, general audience. If they would've actually done something at the restaurants, then they would've accomplished just that. This is a terrible, poor excuse of a promotion.

[IndigoErth]

My only complaint with their promotion is that the benefit seems to weigh a lot heavier in Pizza Hut's favor rather than equally helping itself and the film.

I mean sure, they built a real life pizza thingy and that is no less than awesome. Though it appears to be a convention stunt for that limited audience. I mean the boxes sound cool, but you supposedly have to ask for one, and someone else in my small state has already stated they'd called around to many of the Pizza Huts and they didn't have a clue about it.

I don't even like the pizza combinations they came up with for 'the guys,' I'd at least have appreciated a collectable cup or something... eesh. lol

This is a terrible, poor excuse of a promotion.I dont really know the topping off the top of my head So yeah I just said i want Donnie and raphs pizzas for tmnt they said sure

Its not really a small logo and it say tmnt pizzas right there

IDK about that i talk with my local Pizza hut and they have a feeling they will get the boxes its not like they wont use them for orders other then Call outs.

Its starts at SDCC and then it moves around who doesn't want to see a video about the pizza flinger and then get a link to exclusive more info?

And why not promote the movie at comic con you dont see McDonalds at comic con.

And what do you expect them to do at the stores??? I just dont get it What do people Expect. Silverware? Glasses? toys? i would rather the ARG codes/urls and to see a pizza flinger we already have collectable Sodas and Chips i dont need cheap pizza hut toys, and such

I guess i just dont get what you really want from them

Seems to me more then enough people are getting pizza so pizza hut wins, and the movie is getting buzz tmnt wins what more is there

I guess i would rather exclusive content over a cup?? IDK pizza places dont really do that Domino's would do that McDonalds might but not often

In this day and age i just don't expect it, there is no money in it for them to do that.

Exclusive content Does better it benefits TMNT and Pizza hutt

[Wildcat]

I admit I would have liked to see a collectable item like a toy or something but Pizza Hut doesn't really do that anymore like they used to with puppets and whatnot.

I guess they could have offered a limited time pizza or dessert with green toppings or filling and call it a mutagen special. Still its not an item which its what people wanted I guess.

[IndigoErth]

I guess i would rather exclusive content over a cup??
If exclusive content is additional footage, at this point I think I'd be a bit weary of even looking at it though. We've gotten so many trailers/clips at this point, already feels like we've seen too much. Personally I would prefer a physical item over something distal (wallpapers or whatnot) that's just gonna end up online from fans anyhow or eventually forgotten in a folder.


Well, no matter... If there is a sequel and Pizza Hut has it again maybe they'll do something that time around.

Know what would be cool... Instead of collectable cups or whatnot, maybe instead give away a short comic done in the style of the these guys.
