If the OT had a DTV what would you like to have seen?

I think the chances of a DTV of the OT are zero so thats not what I'm going for, at least it got Turtles Forever. But still had a DTV come out during its run or after the show ended what would you have liked to see? We saw Krang/Shredder in most episodes so I would have liked a new villain, and I would have liked not a new villain that forms an alliance with Shredder only for him to betray him in the end and Shredder has to help the turtles, thats used all the freaking time and now that I think about it, thats pretty much what happened in Turtles Forever...

Karai could build a giant robot spider in order to exterminate the Ninja Turtles for "defeating" her father....

Meanwhile the Rat King is studying the art of voodoo, in which he tries to ressurect Shredder as a test-subject to turn into a rat-human ninja-trained zombie slave.

Rat King's uneducated practices in voodoo leads to the summoning of a long-imprisoned Martian runaway from Hell, who'd been damned to the furthest corners of the galaxy until one chant on a particular time and place of day awakens her.

Or has she already been awoken?

Ralph has been dating Mona Lisa, unknowing of her true agenda... to sacrifice a mutated one from planet Earth to please the higher powers of the Martian alliance, to regain a clean slate....

The whole thing would be a musical.

For the OT? Pretty much I'd just like to see them adapt one of the old beat-em-up games lol.

Just a mindless romp through the OT history, popular and obscure characters alike pop up, plenty of the silly humor, constant adventure.

This is what I was going to say. I've always wanted to see a cartoon version of Turtles In Time.

I think one fInal hurrah taking place after season 10 for Shredder and Krang would have been nice. One last attempt to take over Earth.

Yeah, I was thinking either that or The Manhattan Project. Both would be sweet.

I like this concept! It would have fit with the tone of the old show, and would have incorporated new interpretations of Mirage characters into the OT-verse. The only thing that strikes me as odd is Casey Jones's inclusion. He never struck me as the type who would "stowaway" for anything. That part would need some real explanation.

I also would have loved to have seen a video game adaptation in the form of either "Turtles in Time" or "The Manhattan Project." Come to think of it, "Tournament Fighters" could have worked as a 2-part episode/aka, DTV feature. It could have been the OT equivalent of the Big Brawl!

Oh, ok, so what would be your idea on Shredder's mutation? That might actually look pretty cool! Didn't he have a dinosaur variant in the toy line?

But the OT did get an DTV: Planet of the Turtleloids
Even though it was only 45 Minutes and was later edited into a two-parter in the show, it was a DTV and aired in Primetime.

Though it would never happen, I would love to see a more serious take on the OT. More in the line of the first few episodes.

That's what I was gonna say. I think most people forget about that one because it only aired as a movie once I think.

Nay. I caught it one other time in primetime hours aside from the premiere.

Honestly had DTV movies existed back then, the whole Shell Ri La story was as close as they got to one. It had a Tatoo cameo, Groundchuck, Dirtbag, Chrome Dome and a new mini-technodrome. Even April said 'hoo boy, this is gonna be a looong episode.."

The Turtles receive distress calls from the Neutrinos and their new ally, Professor Honeycutt, trapped in the body of a robot fugitive (or "fugitoid" as they are so designated). It turns out the Neutrino home world of D'Hoobnib has been taken over by an evil dictator... a misshapen, blue-green, one-eyed monstrous turtle creature. The Turtles quickly surmise that Slash has somehow come to rule this planet!

Quickly, Donatello devises a way to travel to D'Hoobnib. Following them are their reporter friend April O'Neil and unbeknownst to them, stowaway vigilante Casey Jones.

On arriving, it is revealed to the Turtles that Slash is a puppet dictator, being controlled by the Triceraton army, who hopes to annex the planet thru peaceful yet deceitful means - by having their candidate assume power, he can willingly sign treaties declaring D'Hoobnib a territory of the Triceratons!

The Turtles are forced to keep this from happening - without realizing that Krang and the Shredder are on the verge of returning from their banishment in Dimension X! Krang, harboring resentment and hatred for the Triceratons, wishes to destroy their society - and, indeed, their home world - and conquer D'Hoobnib for his own! Meanwhile, his ally, the Shredder, has begun to lose his mind, a combination of his own unstable psyche and years of exposure to radiation in the Technodrome.

Things come to a head when the Shredder undergoes his own mutation, and Rocksteady and Bebop, desperate to return home, somehow generate a portal back to Earth.

Hilarty would ensue!

You can always wirte fanfiction about it.

I do know but what about the Real April O'Neal the newsreporter naked in shower with Casey Jones (with his head mask on of course) in x-rated story. I mean after all April says during on of the episodes in OT that she has his number.

I was jst going to suggest that Krang finally regains his forces in Demension X and Shredder has been assembling allies in the turtles deminsion and then they would take Manhattan as in "TMNT 3" Using it a official Hideout.
This would explain why they face other villians in TMNT manhattan Project

Bumping this topic since Nick seems to love the OT, have done crossovers with the OT, why not make their own OT DTV?

Not enough fan demand I suppose.

I mean yes, we ended up getting Turtles Forever and the 80s turtles in 7 episodes of the Nick toon, but I don't think a DTV special of its own is likely despite how much I would love it.

The Batman vs tmnt DTV made more sense from a business point of view since Batman so much more well known and popular than the turtles, so you're appealing to both fanbases.

That is actually the most ideal situation and I hope they still decide to do it one day. Really they could do DTV movies for any TMNT series that have ended. For me though a DTV movie based off the 80s series would be great, failing that a TV series continuation via a streaming channel. ;) :lol:

I think after all these crossovers, this one would be a very difficult one to make without losing too much heart of the original.

I would like the DTV movie to be like the old show in the sense that the plot is full of silly stuff but the Turtles themselves are taking it seriously, not that the Turtles themselves are goofy, silly and just laughing all the time or some nonsense. I mean a bit of the Leo's humor in the OT was how seriously and dramatic he took everything.

I'd like the fighting to be a mix of cool martial arts and some of the wacky slapstick, like throwing manhole covers around and whatnot for nostalgia. I don't mean seeing them hack people up, but doing some cool animated flips and whatnot. I mean, Raph is the perfect person to break the 4th wall and mention how their ninja moves are looking smoother than usual. "They must have raised the budget".

I guess my biggest fear is them 'modernizing' it too much, I guess, giving the show the wrong feel, or making the Turtles look like incompetent idiots.

I think the European vacation might have worked as a DTV at the time, with a slightly higher budget which makes the animation look more like season 1, and a more simplified/tighter plot that would be suitable for DTV running time.

If you look at some of the more serious episodes of the FW series like Leo's episodes with Lotus Blossom or The Old Switcheroo it wasn't beyond the serious to do serious storytelling or develop it's characters so if they focused a continuation on that there's a lot they could do creatively there.

sdp	09-13-2026 11:43 AM

I think chances of FW getting a DTV could actually be bigger than they've ever been. Sadly I also don't think they'd make any story we would actually want to see. It'd be fairly generic Shredder/Krang and not feel like the OT at all.

I think a lot of the Satam Adventures books would make for good DTV movies.

The Sword of Eddiku story arc for sure would make a great animated film.

You beat me to it!

That’s really the only one I can think of, other than a reworked version of “Christmas with Casey”. Everything else worthy of a movie would be too continuity dependent on other issues.
