TMNT dvds? - Page 2

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 11-24-2002, 12:27 AM

I, too, have my doubts about this new series. But I hate to judge something before it has a chance to prove itself. I have been wrong before, and I hope that I am wrong here.

I really want the series to do well . . . because I really want the old cartoon to come out on DVD!

Okay, I confess: my motives are selfish. But I don't care!

Why do you have doubts? On paer it sounds perfect right now. And I have heard that the animation studio that is making it can really do animation? There are said to be character develpment what was totally absent in the old toon. Actually you can't even compare, if the series over view is true. Old cartoon just used Same plot in every episodes. Today im startinf a new season of the old too, It starts with an episode "Night of The dark turtle". I have heard that this season and the red sky seasons are better but I shall see.

Yea, that is true, I'd just want them all on dvd even with no extra features, but features are always good anyway... Besides if you play a video like 10 times it will start breaking down, that's why they need it on dvd which will last forever... The company probably thinks that if the new tmnt does good the fans will be seeking the older one, but I personally think that you can't really compare the 2 at all with over a decade in time difference. I bet fans will still want the old ones even if the new ones flop, but that's just me...Bah..Only time will tell...

Regardless, watch the new one anyway, because that is what the company wants to do good!

Tokka sorry to upset you but on the Thundercats DVD they upgraded the graphics and animation and to be fair it took the appeal right out it

thats the only reason i suggested they might do it with the turtles.

no need to be all paranoid...

~~Tokka-B~~ · 11-24-2002, 11:25 AM

Sorry if I overreacted, but I can't stand the conversion to CGI, it just seems rediculous. And did they convert that to better graphics or to 3-d?

Joos_Valgaeren · 11-24-2002, 11:37 AM

half and half really

some of the "fight scenes" went to 3-D, but the overall look was just upgraded graphics, not much of a difference though,and it took away the "retro childhood feel"

~~Tokka-B~~ · 11-24-2002, 11:46 AM

I don't mind much if it is just enhanced digital crap, but keep the animation the same...Besides, I don't really like the Thundercats anymore anyway...

You think everything that has humanoid animals in it is a ripoff of TMNT, when in fact the storyline has little if anything in common to do with it. In case you didn't know, the origin of the TMNT was a parody of Daredevil's creation. Then you call Bucky O'Hare a ripoff when all it has to do with is aliens and not mutants.

Point: shut your prepubescent (sp?) mouth if you don't know what you're talking about.

Samuri Pizza Cats was probably more of a rip on the TMNT, if you ask me. The Biker Mice were kinda different.

Perhaps, but at the same time, I hope it doesn't come to DVD any time soon. For people like me who took so much time out of their lives to download all 193 eps for free off IRC, then all that work and effort will have been in vain.

Samurai Pizza Cats

, oh dear, what a farce

ok i have an off the topic question i'd like to get clear up, who was the biker mice' enemy again ?

~~Tokka-B~~ · 11-24-2002, 12:22 PM

I hope they release all 193 episodes on dvd soon, so it will prevents morons who download the episodes and cheat the company....

Sorry if I am a bit of a goody goody, but people need to realize they won't release them on dvd if people are downloading them, cause they won't make any money, I'm sorry, but I just want them really bad on dvd!!!!

**Karpo_007** · 11-24-2002, 01:48 PM

I agree with tokka somewhat. I think that TMNT DVD's shouldt be downloaded. If the TMNT DVD will sell good enough, We might have a special edition in the Future.

As for the cartoon, There is nothing wrong in Downloading them. They probably will never release it to DVD, and if they will probably only the first season. And if that happens, of course everyone wants The first season in DVD quality, not pretty much low quality VHS rips.

*Jephael* · 11-24-2002, 01:50 PM

I could see them releasing the second and third seasons as a boxset though, and simply disregard the episodes that were done in the '90s.

**Karpo_007** · 11-24-2002, 01:53 PM

Maybe. The Third season was still quite allright with Casey, Usagi and the Big trilogy. But season 4-6 + euro eps... No point in releasing them. Today I watched episode Night of the dark turtle, and I must say this season looks promising.

*Jephael* · 11-24-2002, 01:58 PM

Yeah, 1993 had to be one of the better years of the series back then. I especially liked the episode where Baxter went around turning people into humanoid bugs.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 11-24-2002, 02:08 PM

I think if they release season 1 on dvd, they will most likely have to release all the seasons on dvd, and I don't see why not, they can't just leave you at a cliff hanger there.

Also, to clear this up, the biggest TMNT rip-off had to be Extreme Dinosaurs, I mean come on, they even had their own special food preference, hot and spicy
