Could the new TMNT designs be the Fred Wolf Turtles

TMNTChris1980 · 06-30-2013, 07:35 PM

I've noticed (as have we all) how the new shells for the upcoming TMNT film makes it look like the turtles are going to be normal human size.

Does anyone else think the new Turtles will look like the original toon Fred Wolf turtles?

I seriously doubt they’re going to look that cartoony. I’m pretty sure they’re going to go for a more “real” look.

*Slap-Happy* · 06-30-2013, 07:54 PM

I'm gonna say no.

*CyberCubed* · 06-30-2013, 08:08 PM

I can't see it happening.

Judging by how bastardized Shredder and April look in this movie, the Turtles are probably going to look hideous.

*Galactus* · 06-30-2013, 08:48 PM

Nope.

The Fred Wolf designed turtles were considerably shorter than adult humans.

Infact as animated by Toei particularly in the intro for the first three seasons I'd say they are very based on the Mirage turtles as they were drawn after the first few issues when they were phasing out the more stylised look. Albeit more smiley with pupils and belt buckles etc.

I can't see the initialised belt buckles returning or them going too cutsey like they were animated by the other studios that worked on the show. That being said Bay did say these turtles would be "adorable" but seriously I think they'll look like the '87 show turtles.

And now you KNOW what the Shredder will like like? Man, PM me the lottery results for this coming week. We could make a lot of money.

Seriously though, William Fichter could look like the OT Shredder. He didn't really look Asian.

I fear for what the Turtles look like.

sgtfbomb · 06-30-2013, 09:32 PM

I doubt it. I'm thinking they'll be edgier looking.

It wouldn't surprise me if they applied burn prosthetics to keep in line with the Nick toon, and to cover up his ethnicity.

madyankees · 07-01-2013, 12:30 AM

While I don't think it will be OT-like, I do hope they will not be as tall as the humans.

Just wondering, isn't there a way to make the turtles look shorter on screen? Kinda like what they did with Gollum in LOTR

Goon · 07-01-2013, 12:52 AM

I kind of highly doubt they will go with the Fred Wolf look.. I don't think it will be a dark and gritty film but I do think it will be a little darker than the usual fair. It's really hard to say at this point. I am expecting the worst but hoping for the best.. I'm not going to get all upset because I have NO idea what they are doing. Lets see a trailer or at least some real look at the Turtles in the film.

*Refractive Reflections* · 07-01-2013, 01:07 AM

I doubt it too since I'm probably guessing they are going for a "darker" version. As long at they don't look like the dinosaur-hybrid, Jar Jar Binks, looking Turtles from the "Out of Shadows" video game, then it should be fine with me.

Vi11AiN6 · 07-01-2013, 09:43 AM

I am betting they will look very similar to the Out of The Shadows Design.

April "looks" bastardized?

The answer to that is no. Even if the movie DID fit Cybercubeds (Unrealistic) standards, he'd still find something to complain about

</logic> She still has Megan Fox's face, therefore she can't be April.

I figure these turtles are gonna blow our minds when we see them. We've never had CG turtles designed to look real. Good or bad, it's gonna be like nothing we've seen before.

Megan Fox dyed her hair red, and is wearing a yellow jacket. What else does she have to do to "look ike April O'Neil"?
