If you have kids, will you introduce TMNT to them?

*CyberCubed* · 03-06-2011, 12:35 AM

I've already introduced my younger brother and sister to TMNT when they were around 5-6 years old, and I plan to do the same whenever I have kids.

Introduce them to it with all 3 cartoons, (original, 4kids, Nick), and the movies.

I don't want my comics ruined though, so I won't let them read from my collection at least. :p

That's a lot of the reason I keep my 2k3 action figures (heck, all my figures.) I plan on showing my kid TMNT, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. All the classics. Thanks DVD!

I kinda did it as a teenager. I helped my pastors kids become psudo-turtle fans, since their house had some old TMNT figures, and I'd play with them.

i have a baby on the way, actually due any day now, and i have to say yes i am going too

*Redeemer* · 03-06-2011, 01:23 AM

I will from the day they are born. When my little girl wants a hug I will give her a Leo stuff animal. When my boy want to shake my hand. I will make give me a cowabunga clap. If they dont like Tmnt I will ground them.

*ssjup81* · 03-06-2011, 01:24 AM

If I were actually having children or if I had them, I would share it with them along with other stuff I grew up with and hope that they would like it (like Gummi Bears and the Smurfs). Maybe I can brainwash some other family member's kid instead. lol

*Samhain* · 03-06-2011, 01:32 AM

I will not push it on them. I will wait for the day when he or she points at something in my room and says ''Ohh, can I see''. They can like whatever comes naturally to them. If its Tmnt, thats great.

*Eiko* · 03-06-2011, 03:55 AM

I have 2 boys age 7 and 8 they came across of of my OT TMNT dvds they watched it and loved it. But they are more into the Ben 10 and Pokemon atm which is fine by me. But almost everytime they watch a dvd they always put on TMNT BTTS.

Loco · 03-06-2011, 04:53 AM

Hell Yeah.
if they like Turtles anime, I will show 'em more, If they don't , my collection will be safe.

deadpoolRKO · 03-06-2011, 05:55 AM

i'll show it to them , and if they love it then i'll be the happiest dad in the world and we'll have awesome bonding.

and if they say it's stupid, i'll put them up for adoption. ( j/k ! )

*Hero* · 03-06-2011, 08:53 AM

My daughter will know about TMNT one way or the other in my house. If they catch on with her I'd be well happy. Same with Transformers.

At 12 weeks old she already watches wrestling and owns a MOTUC She Ra figure.

*Jephael* · 03-06-2011, 08:55 AM

I don't think I'll ever have a kid of my own but I do have my sister's kids to expose the world of TMNT to! My 4 year-old niece already seems to like them, though she's still a little young, so hopefully by the time the new series comes out she'll be ready.

*Ninjinister* · 03-06-2011, 09:00 AM

I think they'll catch on by osmosis. My foster daughter was a TMNT fan simply because of such.

Maybe one day when I'm older I will introduce the TMNT to them

**Venom** · 03-06-2011, 05:19 PM

Yup. Already working on my Niece's step-son!

Leonardo19 · 03-06-2011, 06:23 PM

yes i already have. my son who is 3 loves tmnt and my newborn son who is 1 month will be introduced in time.

Fugitoid Jones · 03-07-2011, 01:49 AM

I've introduced most of my nieces and nephews to them. My oldest nephew was kinda into them for a little while, even braught him with me to see TMNT 2K7. But it wasn't a big thing with him. And my other nephews and nieces are still kinda young, they're still into the Pixar movies and whatever, but they have watched some of the original series toons and liked them and they know what a Ninja Turtle is when they see one, so it's a step in the right direction!

Wildgoose · 03-07-2011, 07:40 AM

But of course and I will introduce them in TMNT world as I will do with every old time classic cartoon and anime Ive seen in my younger ages!
When I was a kid they used to show so many nice shows! I really want my kid/s to learn about them. Now if theyll like it or not it's their own choise. I cant pressure them on that!

IamtheNorm · 03-07-2011, 10:58 AM

I have introduced them to the Turtles, and they all love them. We watch the Turtle cartoons in our van whenever we drive somewhere. And when we go to conventions we all dress up me as Casey Jones, my wife as April, and the kids as their favorite turtle. It is nice because they all have a different favorite turtle. My two year old knows most of the characters from the old and new series, which I think is awesome. That's my ramblings.

*Donnie* · 03-07-2011, 12:25 PM

I will absolutely show my future children TMNT, in all forms. Let's hope they like it!
