Possible TMNT and Kung Fu Panda cross-over?
 

A friend of mine brought this idea up to me, and my first reaction was. "Pff, that's ridicoulus!"

But erh..

TMNT and Kung-fu Panda are both being made by nick.. they have the same style of animation, they have similiar feels. And most importantly, the turtles has been known to hop-scotch into different dimensions just because they can.

Not going to lie, I would by far prefer another Usagi cross-over, but.. this I guess could be sort of fun to.

Mostly I just dread Master Splinter and Master Shifu actually meeting.. all their students would be so doomed.

no. As much I like Kung fu panda, I really don't want this happening, because if it did, it would be GOD-AWFUL.

I have more faith than that.

Simply because.. Kung-fu panda is a genuinly good show, with genuinly good writing.

TMNT is a genuinly good show with genuinly good writing. If they just use the writers from either of those shows it would be fine.

The episode would by no means be great or any-thing like that.. no it wouldn't. But I think it would be rather amusing with some memorable moments.
Kind of like "The pulveriser." which was not meant to be a great episode, but just some down-time to relax before we move on to bigger things again.

Unlikely to happen, because even though it's technically made by Nick Animation Studios KFP:LOA is a Dreamworks property. Nick has done cross-overs before but it's always been between shows that are wholly owned by them (Jimmy Timmy Power Hour specials and that godawful Wild Thornberrys/Rugrats movie).

I do find it curious though how many similarities I suddenly spot between the shows like.

Their use of hand-drawn still pictures in any flash-back.
The way they portray their fighting, seems very similar.
Then of cause the more obvious about the asien vibe and it being about students of a martial arts teacher.

But you know, if they used exsperience they had from creating the Kung fu Panda show, to create the TMNT show, i'm okay with that, that's cool, as long as both shows are good.

Hmm, good point though. I could still imagine them doing some-thing like that for the commercial stunt, to drag viewers from one show over to the other, that has been a very common thing to do.

I dont know how it works with dream-works and so on, but well, just saying.

I'd like to see the turtles show up on KFP, but I don't want TMNT wasting any of its precious 26 episodes per season on a poor man's Usagi crossover.

IDK.....if I'd want to see that....but if it happens I'd watch it :3

TMNT in Kungfu Panda episode = yes.
Kungfu Panda in TMNT episode = no. It'll be obnoxious with Po being clumsy and all.

That is all.

If an episode like that were made, it'd be a laughing stock for decades.

Man, this thread gave me a serious déjà vu feeling.

I'd love to see a DTV movie with KFP meeting the TMNT, hopefully the TMNT ending up in KFP world, maybe even Penguin cameo.

Ah, how I long for the days before we had to worry about such things... :tlol:

I hope to god Nick's TMNT never crosses over with any of Nick's other shows. The last thing we need is Spongebob showing up on an episode of TMNT.

Replacing "we wish you a turtle christmas"?

No. Like others have said, I don't want to waste one of our 26 episodes on something like this.

Only Usagi.

Yep, only Usagi.

I hope Nick will negotiate with Stan Sakai for Usagi reappearance. I think they haven't met him yet (?), but if they did, do a follow up. He might change his mind.

Ehhh....uhh.....I'd rather this not happen.

but if there ends up being no usagi, then, yeah...kung fu panda would be cool. why not? sh!t is fun! i think the good quality of both shows speak volumes.

it wouldn't be a hard core gritty samurai tale, but that wouldn't fit this version's vibe anyway (and the way they'd most likely use usagi would anger purists anyway...). a fun 2-parter, where each part is an episode of each franchises show. also, that way, in a roundabout fashion, we'd have an extra nick turtle adventure that season. but then i'm in the camp that believes any idea can be good as long as the execution is done well.

That would be amazing!

I mean, what's not to love about it? KFP: Awesome! TMNT: Awesome!

Like, Kung Fu Panda goes into an interdimensional vortex and ends up in an episode of TMNT? Weird, stupid, and waste of an episode as others have pointed out.

More the other way, or we'll just get a bunch of stupid "medieval guy meeting modern day" jokes. Cause they are always fun, like in Beastmaster 2.
