I wonder if the Turtles look and design has been decided for - Page 2

**azure turtle** · 05-30-2002, 08:42 PM

I can't wait to see this new cartoon!
*starts doing backflips to get rid of the anxiety*
I hope the new cartoon still retains some of the TMNT trademark humor...

Samantha · 05-31-2002, 12:53 AM

Yup, everything needs humor. Do you think Shadow will make an appearence?

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 12:58 AM

I don't know...if they base this off of the original Mirage run, then Shadow's presence will probably be felt. Then again, I don't know how far they're going into the timeline. One thing's for sure, they're going to have to explain the Turtles' origins for the new generation of kiddies. I hope it sticks true to the original origin story, and not the old 'toon (where Yoshi is actually Splinter).

Samantha · 05-31-2002, 01:04 AM

That goes double for me. I never understood why they did that in the first place.

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 01:11 AM

I think it was just to simplify the plot...oh, and it leaves out the deaths of Yoshi and Tangshen, which I'm sure parents didn't want their kids to see.

Samantha · 05-31-2002, 01:14 AM

*nods* Yeah, makes sense. That whole, then Naji was killed, then Tang Shin and Yoshi were killed, then Shredder was killed thing was a bit violent.

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 01:19 AM

LOL! Ya, just a little bit more violent then most people would like. Oh well...the plot changes definitely make the cartoon a unique universe.

Samantha · 05-31-2002, 01:22 AM

Yes, that it does. *realizes something* Have you ever seen "Dextors Labertory?". Inbetween eppies they'd have a ten minute "Justice Friends" eppy. I swear, the guy who did the voice for Val Hallen sounded just like cartoon Mikey.

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 01:24 AM

I've seen only a few eps of Dexter's Lab. Unfortunately, I'm not too much of a big fan. Maybe he is the same voice actor as the one for Mikey? I wouldn't know, since I never heard Van Hallen speak.

Samantha · 05-31-2002, 01:26 AM

Hm. I wish I knew what the guys name was.

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 01:51 AM

Mikey's voice actor is Townsend Coleman. I looked it up at the Internet Movie Database.

**HorseTechie** · 05-31-2002, 10:32 AM

What's even more frightening, I know people who worship the TMNT voice actors as much as the TMNT too! Cam Clark, Rob Paulsen, and... *gasp* I forgot who Donatello is!

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 06:07 PM

Oh dear...

Kingkapong · 06-02-2002, 09:31 AM

yup.

**HorseTechie** · 06-03-2002, 09:32 PM

*runs back over to imdb.com*

Townsend Coleman .... Michaelangelo
Cam Clarke .... Leonardo/Rocksteady
Barry Gordon .... Donatello/Bebop
Rob Paulsen .... Raphael
James Avery (I) .... Shredder

**azure turtle** · 06-03-2002, 09:38 PM

Ladies, gentlemen, and fellow mutants...we have a winner!
*gives HT a golden mango*
I always thought it was so weird that James Avery did the voice of Shredder. I had no idea as a kid, and looking back at it now, I feel like yelling "Uncle Phil!" at the screen whenever Shredder talks.

**HorseTechie** · 06-03-2002, 09:46 PM

*weary eyes blink*

Who is James Avery?

**azure turtle** · 06-03-2002, 09:49 PM

*falls face first, anime style*
You don't know who James Avery is? HT, have you ever watched the show Fresh Prince of Bel Air, with Will Smith as the main character? James Avery is the big guy who plays his Uncle Phil.

Kingkapong · 06-05-2002, 04:18 PM

wow!!! i could never imagine him do that

Loolaa · 06-06-2002, 12:17 AM

Uncle Phil played the Shredder?!?!
I never noticed... wow.... next time I watch the cartoon I'll see it in a whole new light!
