Attention Old Cartoon fans: Your ideas for the DVD
 

If indeed Gobo's e-mail is correct we can change the possibility of it being the epic begins. They are also interested in our ideas for special features on the dvd. Here's your chance, post here about what kind of special features you want on the TMNT dvd and it will all be sent in an e-mail one week from today to Gobo's contact in Artisan.

Here are my ideas:
Interviews with the creators on where they got the idea for the technodrome, Krang etc.
Any kind of Promos, commercials, or articles advertising the tmnt's premiere.

Well I think some features on the DVD should have early character sketches perhaps. I think interviews witht he writers would be a good idea deifnately. :D

I think they should have a Documentary on the Turtles. From Begining to Now...that would be cool. Interveiws would also be cool. Also to have like a Documentary on the lives of Kevin and Peter.

Exactly how many DVD's will there be?

Will it go by seasons?

read the earlier topic on the toon dvd and you'll get details on how bad this situation is manix god.

They should be released by the season or something like that. Extra material....there should be interviews with writers, VAs, creators, etc., sketches, TV ads, Turtle Tip segments, etc.

Once again, I get to show my ideas!

I think ALL of us old cartoon fans want to see boxed season sets of the entire series (myself included), so that's a given. But I can't express enough times what I would like to see on the boxes themselves. Each season should have box art reflective to the main premise of that season. Here goes:

- Season 1 = Technodrome outer hull look (for the miniseries)
- Season 2 = Shredder's face (the season involves him alone on Earth)
- Season 3 = Bubbling lava (TD at the Earth's core)
- Season 4 = Dimension X sky (TD in Dimension X)
- Seaosn 5 = Ice (TD in North Pole)
- Season 6 = Underwater (TD at the bottom of the ocean)
- Season 7 = Close-up of outer part of the Colosseum or Tower of Pisa (for the Euro vaction eps)
- Season 8 = City with red night sky (hence the beginning of the red sky eps)
- Season 9 = Space with stars and maybe a few planets (Dregg's from space)
- Season 10 = Dregg's face (conflict between him and the turtles is more personal in this season)

These of course would be for the background images. It goes without saying that on the foreground there will be the cartoon logo and "The Complete Nth Season" on it too. BTW, these box art looks should cover the ENTIRE box: front, back, and spine.

As far as the material on the DVDs, it's already been mentioned that toy ads from the respective year should be included too, but something I just now thought of: why not concurrent storyboard presentations of selected episodes, or at least a section of consisting of storyboards to browse on the disc?

Cool?

:o
let me just say, I second that

Toy commercials.
Character designs and line ups.

Sayonara.

i just wanted to say that all your box covers specificaly say tecnodrome. while i like the td, i would rather see different things than just the td on every seasnos box.
i think they should put a game on it. imagine if they could put the first level of the old game on it. that would be awsome.
deleted sceans?? maybee they had deleted sceans.
Secret?? New episodes hidden in the disk. maybee one of this year, or a new one made like they did the old cartoon. they could hide an episode and only we know how to acsess it. just an idea.
i like the idea of commercals. theres my ideas. i hope our ideas are considered

I don't think that interview of writers would be a good idea... It would be like "This is an aniversery episode to us writers, we used "Shredder tries to take over the world for the 100th time!". Maybe interview with David Wise would be good, He is without any doubt the best writer of old cartoon. Also I think Voice actor interviews would be good. About wich epiaoses, Only the first season fits to one DVD, atleast in best quality, so I see no reason for anything else to be released.

Edit: Just read the other thread, that can't be true... I want to see the whole first season on DVD, not the edited version.. If it's going to be that we can probably say good bye to extras to.

I only hope it's cheap. I'm tired of throwing away $25 for every DVD I buy.

There are only two things I want, and they are really quite simple.

1. EACH AND EVERY EPISODE ON DVD. I don't care how they do it. I just want it done. Whether they come out with season boxsets (which will take forever), or they do it all at once, as long as we, the fans, get every episode in the DVD format, I will be happy.

2. Turtle Tips. These are lost gems in the Ninja Turtle's history, and I would like for these to be bonus materials, as well.

As long as I get those two things, anything added to that is a bonus. You can take your writer commentaries, artist sketches, and blah blah blah. But I'm not picky.

I only want those two things.

"I could use a little rest." - Donatello, from "Night of the Dark Turtle"

I would like all the things mentioned above as well as dual language features.

I'd love to watch the Japanese version of the miniseries. If they can't do the entire series with the dual language feature (episodes edited differently or whatever) then they can do foreign language clips like what was done with the Simpsons DVDs.

Why must I keep on repeating myself, European vacation episodes are SEASON 6 not season 7! And for those of you who want to view the actual e-mail that Gobo got it's on the main page of http://www.ninjaturtlesnetwork.com

i like the idea of promos, commercials and stuff like that
toy commercials, the first series of the toys, and what went into making them...

concept sketches for the show, background and bios on each character that was on the show

interview with Peter

INDIVIDUAL EPISODES complete with INTO and OUTRO with the little segments saying "going to a commercial" or something like the TRANSFORMERS DVD's

Euro season is weird, it takes place in the middle of 4th season. IIs there any good reason things were handeled that way?

I knew you'd react to that...should've put a "Don't start, DK" on there.

The official site says Season 7. Your word alone is not proof enough to say otherwise. Just because you claim to have seen the year 1992 on your recording doesn't mean a damn thing. Maybe the printing of 1992 was the boo-boo, not the year listing on the site. Maybe the eps were written in 1992 but just not aired until 1993, and the official site goes by airdates. Come on, that number of episodes CANNOT be written AND animated AND produced in a matter of weeks.

Now do yourself and the rest of the community a favor and STOP BRINGING THAT UP!!!!!!!!!

I don't agree with the boxsets covers ideas, no offense. I like the technodrome, but I would much rather see the tmnt and the different characters on the box, and then maybe the technodrome in a really small corner. If they made it like TOTAL background, then I wouldn't mind, in fact that would be kinda cool, but I'd rather them focus on the characters.

REZ: TAKE A CHILL PILL!!! DK could be right here, I would not go by the list on the main site, because it was crappiily compiled. The episodes do not go in order! I'd much rather have it go by story than by airdates thank you very much.

Yes Rez plz calm it down. Just because someone doesn't believe your right you flip?

BTW

DVD - I would like to see box set of the episodes and for bonus stuff: Interviews with voice actors and some extra drawings.....and sketchs and maybe the making of the cartoon....toy line...and some other great stuff

Oh, caspian and PWDESAI, you've misread my post: I'm not saying the TD itself will be on any of them, just "omni-present" artwork that's reflective of where the TD is at (hey, it is the main thing the Turtles were after) or what the seaon revolves around. Also, not all of them have to do with the TD; seasons 7, 8, 9, and 10 ideas don't have to do with it.

If they came in boxes looking exactly the same with just the turtles and other characters on them, that would be pretty dull. Come on, be IMAGINATIVE for once!
