[Papenbrook]

NO! This shouldn't be happening!

[neatoman]

Oh great, it's on my birthday. Not really what I wanted for my birthday nor is it the TMNT spin-off I was hoping for, but I guess it's the thought that counts... :roll:

[OrangeNinja1987]

Woah! :teek:
Well, looks pretty dumb and adorable at the same time. Why are the dinosaurs wearing ninja gear? Will the turtles still be played by Seth Green, Greg Cipes, Sean Astin, and Rob Paulsen?
Anyway, I like the turtles' designs. Are they still supposed to be teenagers in this or have they been made younger to appeal to even more little kids?

[Vicky82]

It looks like it's aimed for younger children but It looks pretty cool and i'm going to watch it.

They look so cute.

[neatoman]

So what's the concensus on this thing? Strangle it like Homer does to Bart or kill it with fire?

[biganimefan]

honestly I find it quite cute! I will definitely give it a look. To be fair though, I think this is a pretty good move on Nick's part. Give a chance to have the kids have age appropriate material. I've seen kids as young as 3 being obvious fans of Turtles and quite frankly, the Nick series is not exactly appropriate for that audience.

That being said, now what we need is a cartoon more along the lines of the 2003 series but more mature(PG-13 rated definitely) and air it on Adult Swim

[TheBlueTurtle1]

They are all paired with the cave turtle dinos from the 80s figure line!

:lol: That is awesome.

Okay, now I'm slightly more interested in this.

[matteso586]

This is probably not related to season 4. Or three, depending on the airings.

[Vicky82]

This is probably not related to season 4. Or three, depending on the airings.

No it's not related to the main series at all. It's just a tv special by possibly aimed for younger children.

[Chaotix12345]

This looks max adorbs. Excited to see more of this, as it looks like a fun ride. Donnie's T-Rex from that still is giving me some major Transformers Animated vibes...

[plastroncafe]

OMG! This is adorable!

[Ninturtle]

NO! This shouldn't be happening!

What's the big issue ? They're making a special that's aimed at kids I don't see how it's a problem at all.

[marcelangelo]

oh my god, this is disappointing...;(

[Autbot_Benz]

This doesn't surprise me one bit as Playmates puts more work into their half shell hero line then they do the main 5 inch nick toyline.

[marcelangelo]

What's the big issue ? They're making a special that's aimed at kids I don't see how it's a problem at all.

I guess he like myself was hoping for a completely different spin off than THIS...

[Amaranthus]

oh my god, this is disappointing...;(

How is it disappointing?
It's a show for little kids. What the hell is there to complain about?

[IndigoErth]

The obvious toy selling (and previous toys) connection is not even disguised one bit, so kind of feels far too obviously driven by the toy company. So can't give points for simply and sincerely making a special just because; since the "because" is "because toys."

However, it looks adorable and will have to check this out for sure. And something that brings new younger TMNT fans into the fold is a plus. Though I immediately feel this will become a thing, such as all those times they've come out with a new Barbie and there is a Barbie video to match... that sort of thing. I predict there will be more of these specials. Not a bad thing in and of itself, but wish it wasn't really all about selling stuff. Way to be super obvious Playmates. So when can we expect those dino toys?

(Though admittedly if they re-do the dino/Turtle sets in this, I might have to have one if it's cute enough. I don't know how I never saw in stores or owned the original Leo with my fave dino as a kid.)

Edit: Although, going by the article, I'll be curious how they work Triceritons and whatnot into this. The Helf-Shell line always seemed like Turtle tots and this looks like it. Are the Triceritons going to be kids? lol

Maybe this is their answer to people wanting to see Turtle tots. Would be nice to see the Turtles as little kids in the show, but given the medium... 2D does make more sense in time and financial terms.

[marcelangelo]

first of all, I am not complaining..I was just uttering an opinion.
I don't approve of taking my turtles in this kiddy boobo bubbly super cute sweety because it sells at this very moment direction...this is why my notions towards this release are rather unsupportive.
to everyone who enjoys this kind of thing: enjoy it.I am happy for you.

[Autbot_Benz]

I was hoping for a Mutanimals spin off but I am not surprised at all by this

This right here, is how I feel about the original toon, and most things that are derived from the original toon.

Is there any word if they're going to use the same VA cast from the Nick toon for this iteration? (I can't see why they wouldn't, though...man, I hope it's more nuanced than just those guys going all baby-talk.)

[Leofan26]

Yah, I think I'll be skipping this :ohwell:

[CyberCubed]

As long as this is just a one-off thing and doesn't become a series like Teen Titans Go, I have no problem with it.

[PangolinFeets]

YES! Cute baby turts with big dumb dino pets? Its like it was made for me.

Well, made for a 5-year old...but also me.

[Powder]

Awesome, more turtles media! & in 2D! & just 2 days before my birthday! Siiiick. It's a thinly veiled toy commercial, but I don't even care. We never get specials, so this is really cool.

[Raph]

I like it too, I like the Halfshell Hero look, and to see an traditional animated special seems cool to me!
Will def. watch this.

[plastroncafe]

As long as this is just a one-off thing and doesn't become a series like Teen Titans Go, I have no problem with it.

I would love nothing more than a TMNT-style Teen Titans Go!
That show is awesome!

[CyberCubed]

This right here, is how I feel about the original toon, and most things that are derived from the original toon.

But that show isn't like that. At all. Its more of a self-aware satire.

Why wouldn't they use the same voice cast? Its made by the same people and with the same Nick designs. There's no point for them to recast.

[Leofan26]

I would love nothing more than a TMNT-style Teen Titans Go!
That show is awesome!

Maybe I'm just a fan of the original Teen Titans Go series and don't understand what makes it good. They make a mockery of Robin and ruined the Starfire / Robin pairing that series took three seasons building up to. I'd hate for them to that to Leo and the turtles, Raph would be like Piggy of Muppet Babbies :cry:

[sdp]

So this is the spin-off that was rumored? Cool idea. I'm guessing this special is being paid by the company that makes those figures. It's something extra that doesn't affect the main show, I don't see why people are all upset about it. It's not like the Nick show is for adults, it's just as much for kids.

I never watched the original Teen Titans 'toon, and I'm not really inclined to do so anytime soon. However....Teen Titans Go! is crazy pants. It's a Post-Modern takedown of Super Heroes packaged as sweetness and light.

Getting to hear Khary Payton perform a a live, acoustic "All I Know Is Pain" at this year's SDCC was one of my Con Highlights.

[CyberCubed]

I never watched the original Teen Titans 'toon, and I'm not really inclined to do so anytime soon. s.

I think that's the problem. The original Teen Titans was a great and well written action cartoon, and that's why TT Go is poorly received because it feels like a parody of it.

[plastroncafe]

I think that's the problem. The original Teen Titans was a great and well written action cartoon, and that's why TT Go is poorly received because it feels like a parody of it.

You mean why you poorly receive it. The parody part is accurate though, it's a lampoon, after all.

Me not watching it isn't a problem. I've no interest.

[Meliwen]

This actually reminds me of what they're doing with Transformers. We had Transformers: Prime for the big kids (now Robots in Disguise), and Rescue Bots for the little kids. Two separate shows airing at the same time for different demographics. I think it's a great idea, and this looks adorable.

I've never seen Teen Titans Go, but Rescue Bots is a great show, so despite the younger appeal this can still be really fun to watch.

[Andrew NDB]

Maybe this is their answer to people wanting to see Turtle tots. Would be nice to see the Turtles as little kids in the show, but given the medium... 2D does make more sense in time and financial terms.

I get that showing the Turtles as kids can be a cute thing... but there's something seriously creepy about the 30, 40 year-olds around here and elsewhere actively demanding and campaigning to see the TMNT as small children on a regular basis.

Seek help, people. Before you hurt someone, or worse.

[BubblyShell22]

What's wrong with wanting to see the Turtles as kids? I love Turtle Tots, and I'm glad they're doing a special like this as it gives younger kids a way to get into TMNT and older fans the chance to see the Turtles as kids. I'm all for it, and I'll definitely be tuning in to this show.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

[ssjup81]

I think that's the problem. The original Teen Titans was a great and well written action cartoon, and that's why TT Go is poorly received because it feels like a parody of it.It IS a parody of it. I'm not into TTG's style of humor, but I also realize that it shouldn't be compared to the original series because they're vastly different. TT was an action series while TTG is pure comedy.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I hope we see something like that, too, but it depends on what they want to do with it. Still, it looks cute for sure.

*shrug* I figured people wanted it simply because it's already been done before in the other two series and it's cute to see at least once as a flashback. Never crossed my mind that people want it for any weird reasons, and there doesn't really seem to be any evidence for that.

[CyberCubed]

You watch other action cartoons, and since you enjoy the characters in TT Go, why not their original incarnations? The show was critically acclaimed too.

[Ninturtle]

Man I hope this is not like Teen Titans go. I saw like 20 episodes and that show has some really sh*tty humor that seejs like it's made for 5 year olds ( which it is meant for) . I'd like this to be kinda like the new show. Have some stuff there that's for the kids but also have some stuff there that the adults can appreciate too ( but I doubt that this will happen unless the same crew from the new show works on this.

[Hero]

Looking forward to this.

[sdp]

Anyone remember some of the proposals for S7 of the 2k3 show? They included the toddler turtles and we luckily dodged that bullet. If you're so against this show you can at least see it as a way that we dodged ever having that problem here since we already have this "spin-off" movie that dealt with it. I'm personally excited to see the nick character designs in 2d anima, I personally think those models look better in 2D.

As far as Teen Titans Go, it is actually very well received, most of the criticisms it got were early on because it didn't look like the original Teen Titans but people have warmed up to it and even call it one of the best superhero shows out there right now. It's a comedy show but its full of geeky references that you can enjoy. This show doesn't ruin anything in the original show, that was a great show but you need to see this animated show as you saw the chibi segments in the original show, just some fun that shouldn't be taken too seriously. In fact that was a large appeal of Teen Titans, that it knew how to have stupid irrelevant fun and serious action. Sure this show lacks the action but it is still very well written with the irrelevant fun and it gave us more time with those characters we grew to love, I mean we were never going to get a new season made in the old style, it was this or nothing.

[TurtleTitan97]

For real? That's the first I'm hearing of this. Usually it's Daredevil and The Flash that I see people are calling the best superhero shows currently out there.

I stopped watching after around 15-20 episodes and I don't see how it's well written at all. Even if I never watched the old show I wouldn't like it because of it's constant juvenile humor.

[plastroncafe]

You watch other action cartoons, and since you enjoy the characters in TT Go, why not their original incarnations? The show was critically acclaimed too.

Because the showrunner and I have creative differences.

This 5 year old finds it twisted, dark, and hysterical.

[Ninturtle]

This 5 year old finds it twisted, dark, and hysterical.

It's fine hat you like it and allI was just wondering how is the humor dark and twisted.

[plastroncafe]

It's find that you like it and allI was just wondering how is the humor dark and twisted.


I'd explain the humor to you, but as it went over your head the first time, I highly doubt my rehashing it will make funny.

It's fine that you didn't find it funny, and that you don't like it.

[CyberCubed]

Because the showrunner and I have creative differences.

Teen Titans aired back in 2003-2006, which is over a decade ago. What the showrunner is thinking now is likely not what he was thinking over a decade ago. I know what you're getting at, and Starfire and Raven were very well written female characters. Starfire was also much better than her comic counterpart obviously where there she's only used as a sex object and has a ridiculous outfit.

[Papenbrook]

Apparently, Bebop and Rocksteady will be in the special as well. I wonder how they will look...?

[CyberCubed]

Apparently, Bebop and Rocksteady will be in the special as well. I wonder how they will look...?

The same as their toys, I imagine? They made Half-Shell hero figures for most of the main cast and villains.

[Ninja Tiptup]

They are all paired with the cave turtle dinos from the 80s figure line!

http://www.tmnttoys.com/93figures/caveturtles/3855.jpg

Oh wow they are. I guess that makes sense because Playmates is still making the toys.

I think we all saw a Half-Shell Heroes animated tie-in coming. I'm delighted to see it's 2D but it begs the question why they would do that when allegedly CGI is so hip with the kids? When I'm not complaining.

I hope this turns out entertaining rather than obnoxious. I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt.

The timing makes this an obvious plug for the toys before Black Friday.

[IndigoErth]

I'm delighted to see it's 2D but it begs the question why they would do that when allegedly CGI is so hip with the kids?
Probably cheaper to produce if it's a one off thing. Or if they make more but they're entirely different themes and 3D then ends up being a waste of time and money making all new environments, etc. for each.


Edit: Hmm... although the commercials for the toy line open with 3D characters... they coulda just used those for the Turtles. :P

[Machias Banshee]

This is really cute. I always loved turtle tot stories back in the day! :tlove:

Apparently, Bebop and Rocksteady will be in the special as well. I wonder how they will look...?

I imagine Bebop could look something like this:

I LOVE IT! :D

Ironic too considering that pink is his "woisist color"

They'll look like this
http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Rocksteady/dp/B00WC0EAZC/

[Ninjinister]

I'm okay with this; heck it might even be enjoyable. With them using the Cave Turtle buddy designs, I wouldn't be surprised if there's not more references to previous incarnations.

[PangolinFeets]

Yes!

And Bebop can just ride Rocksteady because he's a 'Rhinosaurus'. :D

Thanks, folks. I'll be here all night.

[evan2000]

Why wouldn't they use the same voice cast? Its made by the same people and with the same Nick designs. There's no point for them to recast.

But these adorable turtles deserve cute voices to go with the look, I'm not sure the existing cast can pull that off naturally :trazz:

Or maybe they will digitally alter their voice to make the pitch higher?

[CyberCubed]

The same way the 4kids VA's sounded when they voiced the Turtle tots. They artificially altered them to make them higher pitched.

Its pretty obvious they're going to use the same Nick VA's for the Turtles.

[Wildcat]

This looks so cute. I really want to see this. I wish we'd get a turtle kids series. Separate from the normal series. Not a preschool show but something similar to Pup Named Scooby Doo or Tom and Jerry Kids. Actually I made a topic about this not that long ago.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, maybe this is the spin-off they were referring to, and if so, that's awesome.

[Mew]

I need this in my life.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I think this will be awesome, too. I've always wondered what the Nick Turtles were like as kids and now we'll get to see.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'm going to wait until I see a trailer for this special before I give my six cents on what I think about this.

[Cure]

The dinosaurs are wearing their bandanaaaaaaaas. Awesome.

And I'm with plastroncafe, Teen Titans Go! is great. It's incredibly self aware and all the funnier for it. It isn't confused about its identity like the original was (Is it a comedy? Is it super serious? Who knows!).

[LeotheLateBloomer]

It isn't confused about its identity like the original was (Is it a comedy? Is it super serious? Who knows!).

To be honest, these were my impressions of both Teen Titans and the Nick series during it's first season.:lol:

[Ninturtle]

And I'm with plastroncafe, Teen Titans Go! is great. It's incredibly self aware and all the funnier for it. It isn't confused about its identity like the original was (Is it a comedy? Is it super serious? Who knows!).

The original teen titans was usually a good blend of both comedy and action most times. There were times were it was serious and those moments were usually pretty great. I wouldn't mind Teen Titans Go if the humor wasn't so childish most of the times.Maybe it got better since I stopped watching but I felt the show was to much of a chore to watch.

[BubblyShell22]

I like both Teen Titans and TTG, so if this show is like TTG, I'm all for it.

[neatoman]

I have a feeling this will be a lot less like Teen Titans Goand more like Rescue Bots.

[TigerClaw]

I have a feeling this will be a lot less like Teen Titans Goand more like Rescue Bots.
Or like Super Hero Squad as well.

[sdp]

Yeah, seeing the old turtle dinosaur toys in cartoon form won me over.

I disagree with the second part, the original show knew exactly what it was, a tongue in cheek show that could be serious for a while. The problem is a lot of the fanbase didn't understand what it was trying to do which was being awesome but also poking fun at how silly it is. And now a lot of the older fanbase isn't giving this new show a chance which has the same spirit of the old show just got rid of the action scenes, the heart of the original show is still there. If you wanted a serious action show then you should've been watching JLU back in the day and not Teen Titans.

[CyberCubed]

I actually hope this special doesn't prevent the Turtles from traveling in time to the prehistoric in the main series. Definitely want to see a dinosaur episode in the Nick cartoon just like the original cartoon, 2k3, and comics did.

[Aaronardo]

And I'm with plastroncafe, Teen Titans Go! is great. It's incredibly self aware and all the funnier for it. It isn't confused about its identity like the original was (Is it a comedy? Is it super serious? Who knows!).

...I'm getting the idea you never watched much of the original show. Because it really does sound like you never watched much of the original show based off your "opinion" on it.

I, like most, fail to see how Go succeeds either as a parody, or an overall comedy. It stripped the characters of the old show clean of any identity (literally EVERY character is the idiot stereotype barring certain episodes where Robin is the straight man up until the last three minutes when HIS character in that very same episode becomes the idiot stereotype), so it fails hugely being a parody, and it just isn't funny as a comedy. Someone please tell me how hearing Beast Boy and Cyborg say "Waffles" over and over for an entire episode, then get hypocritical when other people start doing it with them at the end is funny, much less entertaining.

And, like most bad shows, it doesn't know what is main problem is. And a lot of its fans seem to be led on by one of its most infamous episodes, Let's Get Serious, in that people hate it because it isn't "serious" or "not like the original Teen Titans". Hell no. I'd be all for a Teen Titans show that focused on comedy. If it's funny, sign me up. But it's UNBEARABLY unfunny, managing to fail in more ways than one (as the likes of later SpongeBob episodes do). And, of course you've heard the original Teen Titans wasn't even super-serious to begin with.

But my point is, Go has unfunny, juvenile, overall facepalm worthy humor, and it doesn't get the concept of a parody, which is what it wants to be. That's my two cents, anyway, hopefully this can shed some light on how people who really don't care for the show see it. (It's not that we don't like it's not the original show, we just don't think it's funny in the slightest).

OT: This does look interesting, and I'll definitely check it out! ...Not really sure what it is (although most will agree in saying it's a spin-off for the little tikes) but if it's TMNT and dinosaurs, I mean, I'm up for it! :P

There was literally an entire episode were Beast Boy and Cyborg argued about whether tacos are better than burittos and vice versa and as you can guess it was a chore to sit through. If this show was funny, witty, and clever I would be all for it but it just isn't and comes off as just another crappy childrens show that bears the name of a series that was great.

I doubt the characters will actually be any younger than in the regular show. I think that it'll probably be handled more like Super Hero Squad, where everything's just chibi and silly for the sake of it.

[sdp]

It's almost as if you guys missed the point of the original TT show. Doesn't matter though the general consensus on the internet is that it's a good show.

I doubt the characters will actually be any younger than in the regular show. I think that it'll probably be handled more like Super Hero Squad, where everything's just chibi and silly for the sake of it.

Yeah, there's two ways they'll handle it, one would be an episode where they were kids and went back in time which I think it's likely or just a one off episode that doesn't think about continuity. Most people don't know but there's actually a DC cartoon by this same company I believe or at least same type of figures that came out back in 2006 on DVDs for the toys, it's pretty obscure and the actual episode plays like a Superfriends episode, while it's for kids it's stupid fun and interesting. I think it might be like that as well. I don't think it'll be like Super Hero Squad or TTG.

[ssjup81]

...I'm getting the idea you never watched much of the original show. Because it really does sound like you never watched much of the original show based off your "opinion" on it.

I, like most, fail to see how Go succeeds either as a parody, or an overall comedy. It stripped the characters of the old show clean of any identity (literally EVERY character is the idiot stereotype barring certain episodes where Robin is the straight man up until the last three minutes when HIS character in that very same episode becomes the idiot stereotype), so it fails hugely being a parody, and it just isn't funny as a comedy. Someone please tell me how hearing Beast Boy and Cyborg say "Waffles" over and over for an entire episode, then get hypocritical when other people start doing it with them at the end is funny, much less entertaining.

And, like most bad shows, it doesn't know what is main problem is. And a lot of its fans seem to be led on by one of its most infamous episodes, Let's Get Serious, in that people hate it because it isn't "serious" or "not like the original Teen Titans". Hell no. I'd be all for a Teen Titans show that focused on comedy. If it's funny, sign me up. But it's UNBEARABLY unfunny, managing to fail in more ways than one (as the likes of later SpongeBob episodes do). And, of course you've heard the original Teen Titans wasn't even super-serious to begin with.

But my point is, Go has unfunny, juvenile, overall facepalm worthy humor, and it doesn't get the concept of a parody, which is what it wants to be. That's my two cents, anyway, hopefully this can shed some light on how people who really don't care for the show see it. (It's not that we don't like it's not the original show, we just don't think it's funny in the slightest).

OT: This does look interesting, and I'll definitely check it out! ...Not really sure what it is (although most will agree in saying it's a spin-off for the little tikes) but if it's TMNT and dinosaurs, I mean, I'm up for it! :PYeah, this. I also had a problem with Robin's obsession with Starfire. It's very stalkerish. Even in his room, he has posted on his wall Starfire's complete schedule on his calendar, iirc. He knew her day to day routine and stuff. I can't get into that.

I know people had a problem with Donnie's flow chart of possibilities (I didn't because he was trying to think of ways to hang with and get to know April...and showed he thought ahead for everything in a general sense...like a really good chess player), but he never knew her schedule day to day like Robin knows Starfire's.

Anyway, I will admit the ep where Robin had to get his license was kind of funny.

Going on topic, I wonder if they'll incorporate this into the main show.

[Cure]

...I'm getting the idea you never watched much of the original show. Because it really does sound like you never watched much of the original show based off your "opinion" on it.


Uuuugh. Why would I say something like that without having seen the show? I have seen it. All of it. It's not bad, but it is tonally all over the place. Teen Titans Go! is more my speed, and that's it. No need to get all presumptuous and indignant over cartoons you do and don't like.

And lemme apologize to the room for taking this woefully off topic. I'm out, Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[Papenbrook]

Does anyone have a teaser of this special? Is it even created by the Nick crew, or Playmates?

It's signs like this that tell me this is actually going to become a regular series and seeing as how I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old, I'm all for it.

Hmm... I wonder if this is that spin-off Nick promised.

I thought if we were getting a spin-off, it would be about the Mighty Mutanimals. But this might actually be it.

[snake]

So, how deep will this get into turtle lore?

[biganimefan]

Half-Shell Heroes will get at least 7 seasons along with a movie special!





Sorry, couldn't resist! :D(and no I REALLY do not believe that. Will be nice if it gets 2 or 3 though)

[Autbot_Benz]

Ugh I bet playmates just loves this. So far they put more money and effort into the Half Shell Heros line and the Mutations line over the basic line. I am surprised they didn't make a Mutations spinoff show.

I also find it they complain about Donnie supposedly being a stalker over the first girl he has ever seen. And yet no one complains about Tarzan being Grabby Sam five seconds after meeting the first human girl he's ever seen.

I'd rather have this 2d spinoff than a mighty mutanimals one...so hopefully it's true.

[Powder]

Of course they love it, who do you think funded it? It's a toy commercial.

But with that being said there's plenty of potential in a series like this.

[Metalhead 2.0]

I agree, I do think this show has a lot of potential. As I said before, I have children who are the perfect age for this and I enjoy the idea of them having their own introductory Turtles show.

My only concern is that I hope it doesn't fall into some of the really annoying tropes that seem to be a common theme across most of Nick Jr's programming. Since I have children of varying ages I have been exposed to most of Nick Jr's programing of the past 6-7 years: Umizoomi, Dora, Diego, Blue's Clues, Wallykazaam, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Ni How Kai Lan, etc..,
They're all riddled with repetitive phrases and these 4th-wall breaking "educational" interactive moments where all the action in the show suddenly stops and the characters turn to the camera and say things like "To use Blaze's super-fast rocket power we need to say Turbo Power! Now say it with me! TURBO POWER!" or "Can you guess which tree Swiper is hiding behind? That's right! That one!" Yeah, no sh!t, we can obviously see him and my kid's not an idiot... I understand the point of that stuff, but it's really annoying, over-done, and too dumbed down for today's children.

Anyway, the best show they have running right now is Paw Patrol which does away with all that garbage and is just straight action-adventure. Hopefully Half-Shell Heroes will follow suit. If so, it should be great fun for little ones.

Tarzan was raised as a wild animal and couldn't even speak any human language when he first met Jane. She is literally the first human he saw other than himself.

Meanwhile Donnie has had access to the internet and is a young genius. (and could speak English!) :D and Donnie has seen girls before (because he knew what they were called) he just never saw one in person.

Neat, I didn't even know Half-Shell Heroes had it's own storybook line. If Barnes & Noble hadn't closed I'd prolly own 'em all by now... :tlol:

DP looks... interesting, there. Almost like a Pixar or Playstation X game version of himself (in that I could see him fitting in with Crash Bandicoot or Spyro's universe).

[Jephael]

To be honest, I'm not too interested in this special. I might watch it with my nephew over Thanksgiving break or something.

[yellowmario27]

Are they supposed to be younger turtles, or the same age?

Looks like there are at least 5 books in the Half-Shell Heroes line currently on the market. The early ones appear to be children educational books while the newest two appear to be storybooks. All of them seem to have a fixation with putting an exclamation mark at the end of every title!
Show Your Colors!
Strength in Numbers!
Know Your Shapes!
Blast to the Past!

I guess it's fair to assume "Blast to the Past!" was the basis for this animated feature.

[CyberCubed]

I'll be a bit disappointed if we don't see the Turtles travel back in time to meet dinosaurs in the main series though. I want to see it in CG perhaps an adaption of #7 where Savanti comes back just like in Mirage/4kids.

Hopefully this special doesn't prevent them from doing the storyline in the main series.

[senpai]

This looks so cute. I approve.

I really don't want the turtles to see dinosaurs if they're innacurate. The 4kids dinosaurs looked so bad , Those velociraptors needed to be smaller and have feathers. And that T-Rex savanti rode wasn't even shaped like a T-Rex

I love paleontology, and it always irks me to see them presented so badly in paleontology. Even the promo picture for this special has Mikey on a Stegosaurus next to a Triceratops and a naked T.rex (I believe T.rex had at least a few feathers), but Stegosaurus lived millions and millions of years before Triceratops and T.rex!
I'm not extremely angered about this because dinosaurs are so commonly inaccurate that its pointless for me to fight it, but I wish something would try to break loose and present dinosaurs as accurately as they could. This problem isn't going to prevent me from watching this special, but the fact that it's aimed for small children is. I'm not going to sit through anything like "Mikey teaches numbers" or the T.Rex being nice to the Triceratops.

The art style looks like something out of "The Amazing World of Gumball "and/or "Star Vs The Forces of Evil". Anyway, I am definitely sure that this special is going to be animated in flash. I ... don't know how to feel about that.

I hope we get a sneak preview soon.

[Danetello]

I have one question/comment about this. Not sure if it's been addressed already, but I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and I feel like hell, so I'm not going to go through the whole thread to look, lol.
Anyway, are we expecting that this will this be part of the Nick continuity? And if it isn't, are we to consider this another official "universe" within TMNT? Meaning, it will become an entity unto itself, like the movies are, and each separate series is?

[NinjaPug]

Why wouldn't it be part of the Nick continuity? It's an episode of the Nick series.
Edit: my bad - got my threads mixed up - thought you were talking about the crossover episode

[Danetello]

But who says it's part of the main series? It has a completely different style, they look different, and it is being presented as a stand alone affair.

[NinjaPug]

Got my threads mixed up. Good question about the continuity. It seems like this would be its own thing since its under a different title.

[Danetello]

Got my threads mixed up. Good question about the continuity. It seems like this would be its own thing since its under a different title.

No worries. It shall be interesting to see how it all plays out. I wonder if the crossover ep will air before the HSH one, and if it does, will the TMNT cross over like they did before, using those dimensional doors? If that's the case, and we see them wandering past all the multiverses again, I wonder if we'll see a glimpse of the HSH universe through one of the doors?! I know, it's a long shot, and I'm really stretching it, but it would be cool to see it acknowledged as a new timeline before its actual debut.

[ToTheNines]

The OT crossover will not air before this, we already have the episode titles for everything up to November 22nd.

Plus the fact that they only showed animatics of it would indicate that it'll be a little further out.

[GildedLily]

I'm almost 30 years old, and I even want to check this out. Mainly because it looks cute and adorable. My whole question is if this special does well, meaning ratings and response from the younger TMNT audience, will they continue to run with this?

I don't mean like a full fledge show, but they could put out a special like, every year, or something. I don't know; could be possible IF they wanted. Just saying.

But I'm way too old to be watching this special aimed for smaller kids, but I'm definitely checking it out. I think it's a smart move on Nickelodeon's and TMNT crew's part.

Just kind of sucks that my nephew may think the special is dumbed down or "not his thing" since he's kind of mature for an almost 7 year old. And has been exposed to the main TMNT series since the beginning. He may still check it out with me, I just hope they didn't make this special, for it to be a major flop.

Well, I opened this thread at the right time !
I've just logged into nick.com, and I found that my flash was out of date, again...is it just me or does anybody else that flash needs updating like every month! ;-)
Anyways, I've enjoyed the range of toys since it came out. I still don't have the Dino range yet, but I did get two of the mutations vehicle sets last week, so I was already in a HSH zone. So...we all have two new TMNT shows to look forward to today.. And although it's been stated before, yeah, this will be a kids show designed to sell the range of toys, but hey; isn't that how the whole tv show stated back in the 80s. Bring it.

[TigerClaw]

I really hope Nick opens the episode up for everyone to view it, I hate it when they force you to pick a provider and your provider isn't on the list.

[Powder]

Yeah, I hate that too. I don't even think we have an online account with our provider to sign in with, as my Grandma's the only one here who watches cable. So I can't even use that feature despite being a paying customer of a listed company...

[IndigoErth]

I'd place bets it will be open to all, since it's a special. Surely they want as many people to see it as possible (esp if the Helf Shell toy line is a factor in it's existence).

Feel you guys' pain though. But keep the hope, finally a week ago I was shocked to find that Nick had actually added mine. (Xfinity, aka Comcast, who I figured wouldn't happen because them and Viacom aren't friendly.)

Even though the info says you have to login, I simply click mine and it automatically allows it, so maybe it can also tell by IP or something.

Yeah, I hate that too. I don't even think we have an online account with our provider to sign in with, as my Grandma's the only one here who watches cable. So I can't even use that feature despite being a paying customer of a listed company...
