FROM THE SEWERS TO THE STREETS …TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES™ EMERGE FOR FIRST APPEARANCE AT MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE

New York, N.Y. (November 3, 2005) – This Thanksgiving, 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:KDE), a global provider of children’s entertainment and merchandise licensing, will kick off the holiday season with a special appearance from everyone’s favorite ninja heroes, the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES™. On November 24, the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES will appear for the first time before more than 2.5 million spectators and 50 million television viewers at the 79th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade_. “The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of the biggest showcases in the world and there is a lot to show for the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES this year,” said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and CEO of 4Kids Entertainment. “With a new season for the popular television series and an upcoming major feature film, the Turtles are bigger than ever and we look forward to giving fans the opportunity to catch sight of and cheer on their favorite Ninja Turtle character.” With more than $1 billion in total retail sales since re-launching in 2003, the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES are a major force in children’s entertainment. The all-new TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES animated TV series is in its fourth season, airing on 4Kids TV™ on Saturday mornings on FOX, as well as Saturdays and Sundays on Cartoon Network. The Turtles have enjoyed tremendous success in both television and at retail, which is expected to be bolstered by an upcoming full-length CG-animated feature film from The Weinstein Co. and Warner Bros. Pictures. The much-anticipated movie is currently in production at Imagi Animation Studios’ state-of-the-art facility in Hong Kong, and slated for a 2007 theatrical release. To catch the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES walking the Parade route and greeting their fans, tune into NBC’s Emmy® Award-winning three-hour telecast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade live from Herald Square on November 24. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is internationally recognized as the official start of the holiday season. Each year, Macy’s presents a lineup featuring spectacular floats, giant helium balloons, top high school and college marching bands, specialty youth performance groups and prominent stars from the television, film and recording industries.

OK, SO I AUTOMATICALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO THAT DAY. I'LL BE THERE TO CAPTURE THE EVENT ON VIDEO AND MANY PHOTOS. WHEN I DO, I'LL POST THEM UP. CANT WAIT.

That is too awesome. I hope I get a chance to see it on TV. If not, I'll have your photos to look forward to though, so I'm covered either way.

OA · 11-11-2005, 10:29 AM

That should be pretty sweet!!! Doubt I'll actually watch it, but the pics should be cool...

MasterMole · 11-14-2005, 09:34 PM

If I lived in NYC or close by, I'd probably go too. I hope to see our green boys on tv

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 11-14-2005, 10:00 PM

hmm I wonder what they will look like costume wise? I have always wanted to go see that parade just once, wish this was the year

LUCKFF · 11-14-2005, 11:36 PM

NO DOUBT THIS IS WHAT THEY'LL LOOK LIKE. THESE COSTUMES HAVE BEEN ON TOUR ALL AROUND THE U.S. FOR SOMETIME NOW AND I AM PRETTY SURE THESE ARE THE GUYS THAT WILL SHOW UP FOR THE PARADE.

*Masked Ninja* · 11-14-2005, 11:58 PM

*nods* Those are actually pretty nice costumes! They don't look too weird like they have the capability to do sometimes... even with shaded arms and legs! Can't wait!

*Weapon X* · 11-15-2005, 12:10 PM

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from the 1991 had the guy's riding in a '61 Cadillac, wearing santa hats.

Heres a video courtesy of Matt of X-E for those who havn't seen it.

those are vaguely Grotesque I cencerily Dobt thoses ones would be used

*zkarlette* · 11-15-2005, 05:07 PM

I think grotesque would be a mild comment.....those are beyond awful

I think they did a good job with the new costumes Im just dissapointed that they haven't come to CA

*Weapon X* · 11-15-2005, 05:13 PM

They were also used in the old TMNT toy commercials, here they are seen in the 'Bowling Game" one.

*zkarlette* · 11-15-2005, 05:17 PM

That pic is beyond creepy .......actually scary

*Weapon X* · 11-15-2005, 05:19 PM

Very nightmare inducing, ohhh, and the first pic of the scary costumes is from the '94 Christmas Special VHS

*Sewer Bull* · 11-15-2005, 05:25 PM

They'd make a good horror movie with those costumes... TMNT tearing their victims apart with that insanely evil grin on...

*Weapon X* · 11-15-2005, 05:28 PM

With the smiles permanently fixed on their faces, the voice dubbing is absolutely ridiculous, Donatello would say something while standing perfectly still, or start mouthing words when there's nothing to be heard. Worse then the Godzilla films.

*zkarlette* · 11-15-2005, 05:30 PM

whoever did those costumes and thought kids would like them was probably high or something.....or he probably hates kids

*Weapon X* · 11-15-2005, 05:37 PM

Here's something odd, a bag from (put country here), that has those costumes on it.
