I found some information regarding the original cartoon arriving on DVD. Just check out the link:

Does this mean we can expect something in March, 2004? Keep your fingers crossed! :wink:

While I know there aren't any images available to preview the box, I don't like the idea of using the FHE Heroes in a Half-Shell box cover to display it. It would be better to do what amazon.com does and put "No Image Available" or something like that. I think it what Animated Bliss is doing would fool a lot of people out there, because, as you know, people as a whole are dummies :P

The lack of information doesn't look very reliable to me either. At least a place like amazon.com doesn't post information on ANYTHING until the shipping date, arrival time, and final MSRP are certain. It looks to me like someone working for AnimatedBliss heard the rumor of The Epic Begins being re-released, thought it to be fact, and posted the information on the page. Like I said, people are dummies :P

No offense to you or anybody else who browses AnimatedBliss, that is...

Think about it:

Have you seen any product on amazon.com not released yet without a price and release date? Sure, the release dates may change (heck, DOOM 3's date is being pushed back a year), but the rest is never to the level that AnimatedBliss omits.

So true so true. I heard that the DVD is gonna suck, a couple of threads down, because it is just a DVD release of the first VHS.

Well if Rhino would pick it up there might be hope for a decent DVD.

I can't say I have thought I've caught them on occasion using bogus release info.

Yes i am hoping that they do and they do the episodes in order and on a series of inexpensive DVDs or an expensive set of the entire show.

None taken. Actually, I had never heard of the website until today. It was just one of those things where I stumbled across it by accident.

I am still holding out on the idea that this release will be something special. There is no information on this being the so-called crappy "The Epic Begins", so until it states otherwise, I'm hoping it will be something else.

I'm in an optimistic mood today, what can I say? :P

I wouldn't be too suprised. Other 80's toons have made their way to DVD in Italia this year, I dont see why TMNT would be different. (Masters of the Universe comes to mind)

That's just plain odd. Although I would rather have Heroes in a Half Shell on DVD than the Epic Begins.

But my university associates are searching for 80' toons DVD, but they don't find anything... :cry: I hope for TMNT! :)
However, thanks.

It would certainly make life a lot easier for people looking for TMNT espisodes LEGALLY. To us, it really doesn't matter the price.

Wow an original TMNT series on DVD. If March is when it will come out then I should be prepared on that day. I wounder what episodes would contain in it. I'm one of those people who haven't seen the original in years.

As would I! I'd prefer if they made 2 uncondensed 3 episode DVD's with the first 6 episodes respectively than to put out "The Epic Begins"

Of course all 5 episodes on a single disc would be the best way of course. Then if they don't want to do season box sets they could at least put out 5 episode discs for a while as long as the picture and sound quality are acceptable (meaning as good as the original run) and none of the episodes are edited.

That cover is awful, totally vile and cheap looking.

If they ever do release the old show on DVD, IMHO it should be done season-by-season in nice boxsets with at least a few special features (interviews, commentary, behind-the-scenes). Most likely way too much to hope for but if they ever do release the show on DVD it should be done properly and with
respect.

Heck they could probably do seven and special features. (they did that with family guy why not TMNT) I am really want seven but i hope that they will go no lower than 5 per disc.

That's the original VHS cover from the 80's.

So should the DVD Box have any improvements in it?

It should be an original box cover, not used by the official vhs.

okay, perhaps I should talk slower...

T H A T I S N ' T T H E C O V E R, I T I S A P L A C E H O L D E R U S I N G T H E O R I G I N A L V H S B O X. Even if they use that same cover art, the Box it's self will manage to look atleast a little different.

Yea...i want special features.
J Legault

First one should have the 1st Season episodes.
2nd Season would be seperated in 3 disc the most.

And I would like at least some special features in them.
