90's teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon movie?
 

Hi all!
After watching TMNT and the aftermath discussion in regards to the movie, my mind has been stuck in the 90’s. For some funny reason I recall a teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon movie (or maybe a cartoon special)? Could anyone give me some information regarding this?

Thanks

Well there was a 2 part episode called PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS that played on prime time back in 1991 on cbs.
It was & Stared Chrome Dome, Tatoo, Groundchuck, & Dirtbag.
You can read about part 1 HERE & part 2 HERE
They also had plans to do a cartoon movie at some point back in the 90's but it never happend I think it was to have a long lost 5th brother turtle the turtles where suposed to mutate again and the working title of the movie was the next mutation or new mutation.
They used a bit of the story in the last season of the turtles cartoon during it's red sky period and then a bit more in the next mutation live action tv show.
But from what I can remember the movie planed for the 90's was a cartoon I'm not exactly what world it was based on but it seems as if it would have fallen into the old toons world.
Playmates toys at the time was also talking about this movie during toyfaire that year stating that the movie was going to have a huge cast of chracters and we would see the turtles meeting a long lost brother (as I said allready) & them going off to another planet.
And yes every word of this is true I'm not kidding.

You might also be thinking of The Epic Begins which combined the first five episodes into a movie by eliminating a lot of little bits here and there and all but one scene from the mouser episode. I know it was on video and pay-perview back in the day because the official site shows the video and I have a tape that was taped from pay-perview.

Wow dude, that is some crazy s***. It most likely would have sucked and yet made lots of cash, It would be cool to see tho.

Sure would have if the toys would have been atleast cool characters and good sculpts I would have got them in a second cause I have always loved the crazy mutants the mirage crew used to come up with and I miss then quite a bit in the toy lines :(

lol
I have no idea which one of the your suggestions of possibilities is right, It might help if I could remember them in the first place lol.

I guess this question is a little open ended as time has definitely eroded my memory.

If this helps I do remember that it was played as a stand alone (I think) when I watched it. Krang the technodrome, and dimension x was in it. There was a battle between Krang and the turtles, In this battle scene crang exchanged his normal synthetic bodies arms for combat ones (arms with maces and stuff instead of hands), Krang also undergoes a transformation were he enlarges himself into a giant.

Thanks for the help

lol thats not a movie thats a vhs of episodes from the first season of the 80's toon.
you can check them out HERE
p.s. just so you know all of these episodes and more are now on dvd.

LOL time has indeed screwed me over in regards to my memory, for some funny reason I remember it being unusually well animated.

Thanks again!

It was and you're very welcome you can find the dvd's pretty cheap at your local walmarts or targets.
This is the page for the info on them HERE

Awww. Ben was finally gonna get on screen time but in the end he was cut again :cry: :P

I remember the TV Special with Groundchuck and Dirtbag. I had taped it but I think it's long lost now. Anyone know where to get a copy? Maybe they should release it with the old cartoon DVDs

Actually, would likely be part of the next Classic TMNT Set (that is, if they continue the Season Set stuff they began with Season 4).
** Still haven't seen anything on a next release for the Classic TMNT, so just making note of it this way for now.

I hope they do because the next ones are some of my faves.

Season 5 was good?

I would be disappointed that they never made this movie if it didnt sound so terrible. Where did that Hulk mutating idea come from? I remember catching some of season ten accidentally well after I had stopped watching TMNT and thought that was a desperate cry for attention.

That temporary bulking-up in the last couple Seasons was said to be a "secondary mutation" effect of the mutagen.

To each their own I enjoy seeing differnt things come along I don't think I would have liked it as a movie though more of a what if? tmnt comic would have been good.
And to answere you both at once the idea directly came from the mind of Peter Laird.

Kevin Eastman is hotter anyway.

what does that have to do with anything?

I mean that even though it was Lairds idea and not just some idiots, it doesnt mean that it still wasnt lame.

Not that you were suggesting that it was good because Laird came up with it, I mean you might like it anyway, I dont know, ITS YOUR LIFE.
