Current cartoon meets old cartoon?
 

This is third hand information, from a friend of a friend who had spoken to Michele Ivey who apparently had inside information about it, so I don't know how reliable it is. It may even be old news.

What's this I've heard about a couple of episodes being commissioned that have the current/Back to the Sewers TMNT meeting/teaming up with (possibly even confronting) the original/Fred Wolf cartoon TMNT? Anyone know?

Last I had heard, that was still scuttlebutt.

Ditto, and the more I think about it the more I wonder if I'd enjoy it, you know?

I don't think it'll actually happen.

None of the old toon VA's said anything about reprising their roles as the TMNT, and if they bring back the old toon Turtles WITHOUT their original voices...it will be a disaster.

Exactly, the only reason I'd watch it is if they got Cam, Rob, Townsend, Barry, and the others back.

mmm, I'd be leary of a project like this. Only because it has the potencial to be to have to much camp. If they did pull something like this, I would be cautiously optimistic. :ohwell:

hopefully that won't happen

Fan fiction on the Internet
 

There are already much fan fiction on the Internet about two TMNT versions meeting each other.

Yep ;) All I'm gonna say it DTV.
Oh Yee of little faith.

It sounds like a fan fic. Somehow, this idea would have been funnier as an episode of FF, where Renet tries to bring them back to their right time, but brings them back to the wrong universe. Again, pure fan fiction.

Does have a ring of "Back to Alvin's Future" (the best Chipmunks go to the Movies episode) doesn't it?

So aparently you say or hint at the fact DTV might be the crossover, so what does it mean when 4KIDS says what comes after this season of TMNT, "The Shredder Wars?"

You say there's no new season of TMNT coming per your source, but 4KIDS says The Shredder Wars.

Two more episodes confirm there are no Shredder wars (let alone seeing a 30 minute episode flesh everything out.)

So now I wonder how the Shredder Wars will be told.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I've been told the following. Guess there's no harm now since someone else posted some information...

APPARENTLY, as of last year at least, there's supposed to be some dimensional slip that lets the old characters meet the new characters. At least Shredder was confirmed from the old show, as well as a possibility of one or two un-expected ones..

This is the thing that concerns me the most, though..Is that my source claimed that the 4Kids voice actors where auditioned first in order to try and re-create the original series voice actors sound.

I understand there are union rules and all that (4kids guys are non union, old guys union)...but come on. What's the point of it if you don't get EVERYONE back?

I'd love to see it happen that way.

X, seriously can you please stop bring up that this is the last season in every thread.
I'm going to say it one last time orig. my source told me this was it.
Now I've spoken with Dan over at the official site he also confirms this is it.
And if you look HERE in the comics section Tristan who works with Mirage also confirms it.
I don't know how much more insider comments you want, but if it's 4kids your after to say something you're sadly gunning for the wrong man.

You can also take this or leave this if you like but I was also told that 4kids is holding out on more than just 2 episodes, but I've said this before.
Perhaps 4kids can come on here and confirm or deny this.

It's a little thing called "saving money", that and maybe they can't track down some of the original V.A cast. If they can get Avery and Pat, that's fine.

but you know every one wants the complete set. ;)

so lets see...wedding for Casey and April...Shredder Wars...cross over between demensions...looks like we're looking at balls out mayham for the DTV movie. 8)

It looks like we don't know what to expect. The only garanteed that I can see, is that no matter what, people are going to find something to bitch about. :|

I don't see how they could get those 2 if they can't get anybody else. it would be great to get them to get all those other guys (even if they can only get Greg Berg, and not Barry last name escapes me at the moment), but I don't see that happening unless they get enough money, or a sense of nostalgia wipes through the original cast. But then again, what American TV show uses those Californian actors that much anymore? Last time I really heard Rob Paulsen he was doing a car commercial.

I still think this would be funny as a brief gag or a 20 minute episode, not a DTV film. Once again, as long as it's not 90 minutes of inside jokes and fan service, it should be something great.

It's Barry Gordon ;)

I wonder how they would set it up, if they don't use the Battle Nexus?

I picture it as something like this, if only because I got into the old toon first..


During the introduction credits, show all new animation of Shredder and Krang getting defeated time and time again by the turtles....

After the credits are over, Shredder is creating a new portal device with Krang, that can seek out powerful adversaries from multi-dimensional universes to try and help him defeat the turtles. After the device goes awry, thanks to a slip up by B and R, they get more than they bargained for with not only more turtles coming into their universe, but also more villains as well...such as Chrell and Demon Shredder..

I think it will be pretty disgusting if the old toon Turtles appear and its not their original voices reprising their roles.

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. This is the bullcrap we have to put up with the for the 25th anniversary?

Its not like the old toon voices are dead or anything, why the hell can't they do the extra mile to let them reprise their roles? Is Mirage and/or 4kids this cheap?

Absolutely pitiful.
