Will Nick change the TMNT appearance?
 

Will Nick change the TMNT appearance to look more like their movie counterpart? I remember Fox chance April appearance to look more like her 2007 movie counterpart. Probably not. But who know!? I mean the movie going to be for kid and I can see Nick took the decision to change their appearance just to not confusing the younger kids.

No, why would you even think such a thing? The Nick cartoon has nothing to do with the movie.

No.... prob better chance of meeting alien Turtle people for real. That would be a huge, senseless, and pointless mistake on Nick's part to do that. The series is entirely it's own different style and it's own thing.

While we can accept these guys in as a new version, they should not take over and become the new norm outside their own movie...

They better not.

Nick would not turn Ninja Turtles into anything remotely related to Michael Bay's "Adult Alien Samurai Shreks"...because unlike Bay, they have people working on the product that actually care.

So no.

Yeah, I can't really see it going down to well if they did change the appearances.

Besides, I'd imagine that all the extra work animating bamboo sticks and loincloths and stuff would be a major PITA.

You mean Jonathan Liebesman turtles Bay is just Producing the movie. I know they keep showing his name in every trailer but still he is just producer.

Yeah, he's the producer, but he's clearly leaving more of a creative thumb-print than the director. You don't like Bay-hate, that's fine, but don't get your facts messed up... Bay came on & picked Liebesman to direct. Bay's funding. The money makes the decisions.

Not to mention the fact that there are 5 other producers working on the movie. Everyone seems to single out Bay. I don't see why he doesn't just direct it though, it's clearly his movie more than anyone else's.

Nick have no reason to change the look of their turtles. They're their turtles after all.

Since Viacom/Nick owns TMNT it's only a matter of time until they change the appearance again.

If the movie is a big success... I think it is totally plausible that in a few years they could relaunch with an all-new cartoon using designs similar to the movie.

Nothing unusual about this... as annoying as it is for fans, just look at how DC and Marvel treat their characters. Look at how many different variations we have seen of Batman, Transformers, Avengers, X-Men in cartoon form.

But as long as the existing Nick 2012 show is doing strong in toy sales etc. they won't be doing it anytime soon. I hope!

Hopefully not. I think Nick wouldn't do it by choice since they have to have seen the public outcry of "NO!" over the movie Turtles looks. At least if they're smart they won't. Also, they have a very distinct style in this series, I don't see them easily throwing that aside.

Yes.

Check out Season 3.

IF there are sequels and the new guys prove popular enough, I could see them considering adapting a regular 2d series to them, but questionable if it would translate well enough into that medium.

Could you maybe post a link to what you're alluding to?

No. Nick has no problem with letting IDW do their own unique universe with the Turtles, they are not going to adapt the Nick cartoon for the movie.

use common sense, people

I would think you'd learn to stop using that phrase when it comes to this show...:roll:

There is no way Nick will change the Turtles considering they flat out said they WANTED them to resemble teens more than ever before. They're not going to suddenly make them big and bulky Hulk's and Shrek Ogre's like they are in the movie.

Nick has no problem letting IDW do their own thing, same with the movie. They have no reason to change the cartoon.

No, of course not... the style is entirely different and the movie guys don't even live in an animated world.

Trying to adapt them to something like the current series would probably be a bit lackluster in comparison anyhow, assuming they might have to cut back on the visual qualities anyway (more detail > longer render time > time strain > time is money) and in doing so you kind of lose what the film made them so what's the point.

Adapt off another version, no.

But change in appearance, yes.

Unless you think the concept art that was in the Ultimate Visual History Book is not going to happen.

They won't, trust me.
