Do you think the TMNT Nicktoon will spawn an animated movie?

[Mew]

It would be nice and entertaining if executed right.
All the villains create a giant Shredder robot.
They MUST make a homage to Voltron or Power Rangers.
The Turtles must work together in harmony.
It would introduce us to Chrome Dome 2.0.
That's how I would handle it, but I don't know.

but the 2014 film is on par with what nick is churning out.

No, it isn't.

On topic, I doubt we will get an animated film based on the show. Unless it's a TV film.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'd be willing to bet one will happen at the end of the Nicktoon run, ala "Turtles Forever." Before that? Nah.

That sounds horrible

[IndigoErth]

Maybe a tv movie to bring it to a close someday. Doubt they'd do anything for theater.

[Shark_Blade]

Like Turtles Forever maybe?

[Powder]

I don't know how likely it is, but I definitely want for it. Most Nick animated properties end up getting films in the vein of their TV series, but since we've already got a live-action (likely to be) trilogy in place, that probably cancels out the chance of a CG flick. Fingers crossed, though!

[Donny's computer84]

Possibly. It would be good.

[Mew]

Yup.
It was supposed to.
'Twas a joke.

What if they make a movie about the Nick universe characters coming through a portal, into our world? The look and feel would probably be similar to the Smurf films, or Alvin and the Chipmunks. And then have the voice actors cameo in the real world as themselves! And have Ciro appear as a pizza delivery boy!

Would it be too kiddy to do that? Honestly if the story is good I wouldn't mind something like that.

[Bry]

A big movie finale would be pretty great. It worked well for the 2003 series, an I'd even be psyched if we got a "Turtles Forever 2" (though I'm not holding my breath).

[Leo656]

Eh. I'd see it but I wouldn't be very excited about it.

There's a lot wrong with the Nick show. I feel it's been on long enough now that it can be looked at objectively. We're long past the point of "Yay! More TMNT stuff!" There's a lot of things that are easy enough to swallow in half-hour chunks that could be excruciating over 90 or more minutes.

I'd watch it but I'm not exactly "hoping" for it. Kind of already looking past this show and on to the next inevitable one, which I know is probably pretty silly since Nick owns the property outright and this one's as good as we'll probably ever get.

It's honestly kind of a depressing time to be a TMNT fan if you're not 100% "down" with its current incarnations, truthfully. There's a lot of "Well, this is nice, but I'd prefer it if..." And then you stop, because you realize nobody's listening, and your chances of seeing anything different or "better" are practically Zero. :ohwell:

I really don't think the TMNT would be a good fit for that at all. MAYBE the original cartoon turtles, in a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sort of way, but not the Nick turtles.

[DarthRaphael]

I could see a movie being used as a series ender but probably not while it is in the middle of it's run.

[Leo656]

Same. I kind of think that's the only proper way to do it with any show, actually.

I mean, look at the Simpsons movie. It's fine, but people asked for it for 20 years, and in the end it was a giant "Who Cares?" because it was really just One Long Episode of a show that was still running with no signs of stopping. The entire reason it took so long to make was they kept insisting they DIDN'T want to just do One Long Episode, they wanted to do something "more special" than that. But I guess they gave in because the ratings were slipping and people never shut up about how "You gotta do a movie". It was alright, but the impact was definitely lessened by the fact the show was still on the air.

If you're going to do a movie of a show, you just have to wait until it's over and make it "The Big Send-Off" kind of a grand finale. Nothing else really makes any sense.

I can understand that viewpoint. If you're not into the Nick series or the Platinum Dunes version of the Turtles, there's nothing really out there in terms of mainstream appeal. It doesn't help either that the current TMNT video games haven't done much to boost the popularity either.

...While there is IDW, it doesn't seem to be near the popularity of Mirage if you compare each version after 4 years of their publishing run (Mirage in 1988 versus IDW in 2015). Then again, I'm not too familiar with the reception of the IDW comic, so... take that with a grain of salt. :ohwell:

[Jephael]

It'd be nice if Nickelodeon were to do some comic book inspired mini films similar to what Warner Bros. Animation does with DC Comics.

Nah.



I hope we get a movie for the finale.

[B-Man]

Live-action movie one year / Nick Toon movie the next - and repeat. Would be so sweet.

I think a TMNT movie every year may be overexposure unless if demand is really strong, like what Secret of the Ooze was after the first movie. But I'm fine with hourlong season finales as they have more room to set up an important event, with multi-parters another option. The OT's closest equivalent was Planet of the Turtleoids and perhaps the Shredder/Krang three-parter in the final season. Finally, the 2007 movie was independent from 4kids and was just a way to have a separate movie property that flied under many people's radars.

This topic belongs in the Nick section, guys.

Would it be too kiddy to do that? Honestly if the story is good I wouldn't mind something like that.Honestly, that would be far more interesting and fun to me then just another likely attempt at Turtles Forever, since it potentially ties our universe to theirs, and isn't the dull 'universe ending catastrophe' that gets overplayed a lot these days.

One of my ideas back when we first saw the promos for them going into that weird place with all of the shimmering dimensional doors, was for one of these dimensions to be door to our world. That is, they would peer through one of the doors and see a real child sitting in front of the TV, watching a Nick TMNT episode. I would love to have seen that, as a subtle wink to all the fans.

[neatoman]

They're not going to make an animated movie for theaters that's part of the Nicktoon. They might make a TV movie like Turtles forever, or they might make an animated movie based on TMNT that is unrelated to any cartoon like with the 2007 movie, but the Nicktoon will not have a theatrical release.

Granted, said theatrical movie might be more in line with the Nicktoon for marketing reasons, but I doubt it'll actually be part of the cartoon or even so close it might as well be a non-canon episode like with the DBZ movies.
Yeah yeah, I know the DBZ movies from Battle of Gods onwards will all be considered canonical to the manga, but the ones from the 90's aren't, hell even the regular TV-anime isn't really canon.

[ABrown]

If a movie was made that was a continuation of the Nick cartoon, the turtles would probably still be retreating in North Hampton (or where ever they are).

[Amaranthus]

But they're returning to New York pretty soon.

[Metalwolf]

But they're returning to New York pretty soon.Plus they'd have already killed off/resolved most of the villains, so there would be that issue of finding something for the Turtles to 'do' for the movie. :P
