Licensing Fair 2007

[Mecha Cow]

What are those PotC ('Dead men tell no tales') and Shrek ('Ever after') things? Don't tell me they're making TV shows based on these properties. o_O

Also, that Optimus picture had me laughing out loud for a solid minute. Just...Wow.

Dunno about Dead Men Tell No Tales but Shrek Ever After might be a promotional poster for the 4th movie (which comes out in 2010) I know it's not for the tv christmas movie cuz that's called Shrek The Halls (that'll air this December)

Is it just me or does Optimus look like he's trying to fart?

Wow...an Americanized Kamen Rider...How many people will just think of it as a PR rip-off not knowing it's been around longer than PR?

Speculaiton is that the POTC title is either a game or the fourth movie, whilst "Shrek Ever After" will be the fourth movie of that franchise, the studio announced they intend to wrap up the storyline with two more movies

My thoughts exactly. But another Pirates movie? Pleeeeaaassseeee say it ain't so. I thought it was only supposed to be a trilogy. A trilogy means three...THREE!!!...movies! Not four.

[Jo Dawn]

Depp wants to do more, though... I say go for it, as long as they lose the 'talking to himself' thing and Will and what's're name.

[Kendamu]

Woohoo! Spectacular Spidey FTW!

I dunno... let's go back in time to 1995 when they tried it first. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't like Power Rangers, and I feel, maybe it was the American stuff I didn't care for. I dunno. I really hope Kamen rider doesn't have that annoying "Furbus" in it again. I probably could have enjoyed it except for that.

Anyway, should I be concerned I don't see TMNT there? And As much as I like Shrek, 3 movies is plenty. I just saw the third one, and while I enjoyed it, I felt the second one was much better (Dispite Eric Idle being in it).

A New Spiderman Cartoon? Cool. Just don't screw it up like The Batman. It took them 3 seasons to get it right.

Do you know whose handling this series? Steve Wang, the guy who directed one of the best original episodes of Power Rangers period (and another episode that proved the Jap crap imported s*it that is Sentai footage is'nt needed every now and then), as well as Guyver II: Dark Hero, hailed as the best version of The Guyver in a live-action format

Greg Wiesman is the head writer (and he had a hand in some early The Batman episodes). Problem solved.

I think what you meant to say was:

"That Japanese crap imported spit that is the entire reason why American Power Rangers exists at all and I'm very grateful for it."

[Mecha Cow]

Something tells me he wasn't trying to say 'spit'...

[Kendamu]

Haha! Yeah, I know. I just didn't feel like censoring myself so I chose a different word.

Transformers Animated is being done by Mook, a very talented studio that has done a lot of American and Japanese cartoons. So I'll wait to see it in action.

The design asthetic is very, VERY different. However, after FOUR YEARS of generic, predictable, BORING anime shows...I welcome any and all refreshing changes of pace.

The lead character designer for the new Transformer toon is Derrick Wyatt
who was also the character designer for Teen Titans. The head writer
for the series is Marty Isenberg, who wrote several episodes for the
2k3 Ninja turtles cartoon.

And yet ANOTHER doofus who does'nt "get" the fact PR went entire seasons simply only using a few monster battles and Zord fights from the Sentai, and used the suits for anything else that was entirely shot in the US and followed their own original storylines.

Isenberg also wrote for Beast Machines, a series that did what even Armada could'nt, prompted the entire fanbase to send the head writer death threats. Not to mention Isenberg's good, but also a "safe zone" writer, meaning the company will get scripts that won't challenge anybody, look at Isenberg's stuff for Ben 10 and FF.

[gobo]

The purpose of the licensing is what: to showcase projects that have already been bought or to actually sell new ideas?

[Mecha Cow]

I think it's the former.

You mean the third season, right? Y'know, the ones that came after Seasons 1 & 2 that had Japanese footage and then more Japanese footage made specifically for the American version.

Any idiot knows that 1 & 2 come before 3 (except 4Kids since they can't air seasons in the right order). Any idiot can also tell you that PR wouldn't even exist if it weren't for said Japanese footage from seasons 1 and 2 that inspired the show and made it so cheap to produce in the first place so you could get your precious season 3.

Well, in this case, it's this idiot who is telling you what's up. That's why you should be thankful for the Japanese footage. It's the origin of your fantasies of an all-American PR.

How does it feel to be completely outwitted by an idiot, anyway?

[Zachatello00]

So anyway, it sounds like the Future of TMNT is good shape. According to the official site, Peter is working with the 4kids dudes to take the TMNT in a new direction, and it looks like we're still crossing our fingers for a movie sequel.

And re-introducing 80's TMNT for merchandising? Nice!
