Do you want to see a Turtle Tots episode?
 

sorry if this thread has been done before..anyways,

would you guys like to see the turtles when they're younger? do you think we'll see that in this series since it was done in the '87 and '03 versions?

Yes, please. Given the medium I don't know if it would be financially worth it to them if it's a one time thing, but it would be adorable to at least see a flashback with little ones now and then.

Having Flash Backs to the Turtle's growing up would certainly be good. It can be as simple as having the all the Turtles sitting around hand remembering stuff or telling April and Casey about the moments they had growing up would be good.

And this time, we may have actual child voice actors voicing the Turtles rather then kidifying the voice actors voices.

In a word?

Infinity Yes!:D

Really wish they'd had done something like that at the farm house on Christmas Eve... just reminiscing during a quiet, sad holiday while still waiting for Leo to wake up and not knowing what had become of their other family members.

Yeah we want to see toddler turtles literally peeing themselves from being scared of something trivial.

I'd love to see something like that. Learn some history, like how Donnie first began his experiments.

Are you for real? That's not what anyone is talking about. What we want to see is something like in Tales of Leo or The Lesson from 2K3.

I think the series needs to tie some loose ends before diving into a turtle tots ep. That's my opinion, anyway.

Not necessarily. They could use the flash-backs to remind the turtles of past lessons that might tie into those loose ends, like Donnie learning about responsibility and consequences when they were little, and having it spur him to finish the retro-mutagen for Timothy. And so on.

Yeah, maybe. I just wish the Karai thing will wrap itself up soon.

I'm surprised that we haven gotten an episode with the toddler turtles yet to go with the turtle toddler figures released a year and half ago or so.

Yeah, and on the back of those toys there's CG models for the toddler Turtles.

I thought for sure we would get an episode for that reason

no
 

it'll undoubtedly happen but it just seems so lazy. It always happens. It's like that and clips shows when shows don't really feel like making good episodes or pushing the creative boundaries. There are good meaningful clips shows, and toddler episodes of shows. But if it's really "by the fans for the fans" like some people use to describe it, shouldn't go that route

Maybe they could have one where they remember asking about the photo, and Splinter telling them about Miwa when they were little. Could get some back-story, tie it into getting Karai back, and give them some development by showing what they were like as kids.

That's just as I thought about it to seeing the CGI models of the toddler turtles. Maybe they will have an episode featuring them. But with this line usually when there is a figure coming out, the episode featuring that figure is soon to follow or has already aired, and those toddler figure have been out a while now.

Weapon origin. Maybe name origin. Donnie discovering his genius, Raph finding Spike.

There was a panel, I think it was SDCC 2014, where a fan asked about a turtle tots episode, & Ciro was like "Uh, you guys really want that? Huh...". Him & Brandon looked sorta like they thought the idea was lame, at least that's how it seemed to me watching the video.

I'm all for it, but I'm fine if they never do one, too.

I've never been a big fan of the Turtle Tots... maybe seeing them in their early early teens (or like, 10/11ish) when their skills were less developed could be interesting but I always found it a little twee otherwise.

Is it bad to want a flash back episode just for stressed-Dad Splinter more than baby turts?
It sounds hilarious.

Now I want to see stressed-out Dad Splinter when they just hit puberty, everyone's having Raph-level mood swings and their voices are breaking. :tlol:

I wanna see Splinter trying to make breakfast and clean up after them while Mikey is crying, Donnie is hanging off his arm, and Raph and Leo are wrestling all over the floor.

This could literally be a ten second flashback.

"And that's when he decided to teach them the art of ninjutsu..."

I badly need for there to be fan-art of this. :tlol:

Yes, I want to see an episode that features the turtles as tots, they will be adorable.

For me, yes. I still want to know how Raph got the crack in his plastron and how the four were given their signature weapons. Splinter told April that the weapon chooses you. I can't help but wonder about how the weapons chose them, especially Mikey. His weapon requires the most concentration to use properly, meaning he needs an attention span to use them, which is seriously ironic given this incarnation of Mikey.

Raph is hot-tempered...compared to the others, and yet his signature weapon is the sai. It's more of a defensive weapon than an offensive one (imo)...but can be used offensively.

Donnie is a really smart character, yet he uses the simple bo-staff. What drew him to it? What drew them in general to their weapons?

It sucks that they just didn't do something like this during the North Hampton arc.

They should just make one episode though. Not like 5 of them like the 2k3 series did.

I have a feeling that we'll get a Turtle Tot episode but only because the toy business executives demanded it. Might be the only time when I'm in favor of business peer pressure. :lol:

I can imagination that Donnie's weapon origin being similar to April's in that he tries several different weapons. But everyone he wants doesn't want him, then finally Splinter comments that perhaps he's looking at the wrong weapons and comes out with the Bo Staff. Donnie isn't drawn to it or insists that couldn't possibly be his weapon. Splinter insists he try it anyway and sure enough that is the weapon that chooses Donnie.

Depends on what the impact of it is outside simply a flashback. Though the origin got summed up nicely in a few minutes, seeing a Turtles Tots episode could be an intriguing choice. From the food creations before the pizza to Raphael's chip, it has a lot of potential. Assuming it isn't overdone, I could see a full episode of it and perhaps like Splinter, there's flashbacks to their past throughout the episodes depending on the circumstances.

Then again, they got sell dem kiddy toys. ;) Bring on the chance either in one of the final episodes of season 3 given the three upcoming episodes or as a primary focus during season 4, assuming it's the last season of the show. Lots of potential and can be an emotional episode if executed properly.

I agree.

Depending on how it's executed as flash back episode could work well.

I don't know how the other people interpreted the Question about the Turtle Tots at one of the comic cons. But the way I took it is they didn't want to directly say yes we will see the Turtles as kids, but they were being vague with the answer.

and that might be something they are going to hype at comic con this July.

A Tales of... episode would be a good way of segwaying into flash backs of the Turtles as children.

Other options are having the Turtles sitting around and then a certain situation reminds them of such and such moment when they were children.

Having a character be in a situation and remembering things that Splinter and or his brothers have taught him to help him through the situation.

Having a flash back shoehorned into a story for the sake of having a flash back such as "Fathers and Sons, or the incredible shrinking sirling" are not so much.

I'd love to see a Turtle Tots episode but have actual kids voice them to make it more authentic. I think they could play with it any number of ways and really tell a good story as I'd love to see these Turtles as kids.

The CG models are from the intro's mutation scene.

All of the above...only not call them Chibby or Chubby or Cubby, whatever they call them.

Oh, so cool. I can totally see the fanart in my mind.
