Disney/ Don Bluth quality animation?

[Yabuturtle]

I always wondered what it'd be like to see the turtles with this kind of quality. Like if there was an animated movie featuring really good animation on par with animated pictures like the secret of nihm, beauty and the beast and so forth on the big screen. Turtles forever had good animation but not on par with Disney of course but imagine if the the tmnt or really any animated show had this kind of quality animation. Imagine the fight scenes.:-)

Would anyone like to see something like that?

I wish we had a Disney-tier animated film. Man, to see the boys in that level of quality, the fluidity of motion, the physics of it all, if only...
Much of the OT is very stiff. It doesn't hinder my ability to enjoy it, but it's noticeable, & unfortunate. The first season is wayyyyy ahead of the rest, but even that is lacking at times.

I said this one month ago to the day. :tlol:

I'm guessing they'd look a lot like Chris Allan's TMNTA work. I mean, Allan's April is pretty much the spitting image of Ariel the Little Mermaid.

:lol: You're right! I never connected that. :lol:

That would be nice, but honestly? I'd be more than happy with a direct to TV movie with the quality of the DC animated movies team. A well-animated movie based on the IDW universe done with animation of the quality of, say, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. And it could be aimed at a slightly older audience.

Don't get me wrong, I love Don Bluth, but he isn't known for his choreography. lol

I definitely like the animation they have for the DC movies and from Turtles Forever but having disney like animation seems more appealing to be because of how they move and how well animated they are. They don't necessarily have to have a Disney like style to the characters, just have similar animation.

I often wondered what it'd be like to see the turtles animated that way as I sometimes imagined the 1987 TMNT having a movie that had animation that rivaled that of Disney. It would be so cool to see the Turtles as well as Shredder and Krang move that fluently.

Just check out the Shredder Strikes Back Eps of the 2003 series, so good fight animation there as well.

But I do think they're maybe missing a trick with not doing animated movies for older fans. They've still go the Nick tv Series and the Movies for the kids, but for the older viewers, they could take the stories from the current IDW run and turn them into animated movies that are closer to the comic.

I have wondered if maybe if it had this kind of animation, would the 87 series or 03 series be better with this kind of animation. Disney/doh bluth usually didn't have hardcore fight scenes so I think it'd be interesting to see that. In beauty of the beast where the beast fights Gaston, it looks impressive so I can only imagine how well the animation would be if you took fight scenes from the 87 and 03 and make it as well animated as a Disney flick.

Disney/don bluth almost always had the best kind of animation because there were, well, more animated. Other movies had cool styles but rarely are they as well animated as Disney or don bluth.

Beauty and the Beast is amateurish crap compared to Snow White or Fantasia.
Disney animation from the 1930's to about the late 50's was on a completely different level, unmatched by anything since, not even computers.
All hand-drawn and -inked........

Gosh, I've wanted this since my first tango with 2003. Sometimes, when I get lost in my own head, I like to imagine how captivating my favorite TMNT story arcs would be if animators from Disney or Dreamworks got a hold of them and pulled their good 'ol traditional shtick. D'you think someone'll actually do it if we throw enough money at them? :D

[Sushi Shea]

Heck yeah, I agree! I think the classic Don Bluth look would be awesome; sets a perfect tone for a darker turtles story. Or maybe I just favor the style, I dunno. Either way!

Only one way to find out! *pushes wheelbarrow s of money towards them. *

I just like the style. :-) I always loved traditional animation. It was the best looking in my opinion and takes more effort to make them. Usually this kind of animation is reserved for kids stuff but I think it'd be interesting to see a darker turtles story with this kind of animation, whether they go for the 87, 03, 12 IDW, or mirage version . :-)

I agree sushi Shea! I like the don bluth version the best. :-) a darker turtles story with this kind of animation would be interesting to see. I can imagine great fight scenes. Like stuff from the secret of nihm, or the dragon's lair games. :-)

Heh. Those who say animation is only for kid-friendly stuff never heard of the film adaption for Watership Down. XD Heard it's pretty brutal. Not that kid-friendly = bad or anything, but you know!
