Ninja Turtle Kids?

[turtlefanforever]

It was red herring!!! Haha but yeah I'd like it but it's have to be called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: the younger years" or something to that effect. I don't want baby mutant ninja turtles. And I think 1987 means even though they are teenagers in the show they act like they are toddlers and pre teens.

No, 1987 knows what I meant. I just ignored it.

More like Tweenage mutant ninja Turtles.

Which will have school yard bully versions of Shredder, Rocksteady, and Bebop.

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I actually think a show that features the TMNT as kids would be radical! Imagine that you can finally take a peek at how they were actually developed and trained into the Turtles we know today. And also, I wanted to watch how Splinter took care of them. Did they all have a problem with toilet training? Who spoke first? When are their birthdays? (I liked to think that they all have separate birthdays) There's just so many questions and I can't wait for them to be answered! So yeah, if they ever decided to make one, let's just hope it isn't corny or weird and stuff.

I used to like Tom and Jerry Kids, Muppet Babies etc but I always like the real Tom and Jerry well better, and Don't see what a whole series could offer, a few episodes are fine.

I know TMNT has toilet humor every so often, but please go read fanfics if you want potty training Turtles.

As for birthdays, since they were animals first they really don't have a concept of what day they hatched. So unless the turtles look at a calender and each pick a date as to when they hatched, you are largely looking same day birthday celebrations.

For who spoke first. I'd like to think that both Leo and Raph began speaking at the same time, and Mikey some time after. Donnie he strikes me as the sort of person who would have been mistaken for mute when he was small. And then its revealed that due to being somewhat more socially awkward then his brothers he has a preference of keeping to himself and as such will only really speak when invited to or addressed.

I like the "TWEENage Mutant Ninja Turtles" title. As for birthdays I could see them having one big celebration.

I just thought of something. What if Karai was the playground bully? She could be roughly their age but they wouldn't know yet that she was Shredder's daughter. Like I said Im not thinking this would be the current Nick universe. Just a separate general universe.

As for their looks compared to other children...the OT got away with them only needing trench coats and hats so Im thinking something similar. Hoodies and baseball caps? Being a more lighthearted incarnation it could work.

The more I think about it I really love this idea.

In the original series there's is an episode called " Michelangelo's birthday" in season 2 or 3. So take that as you will.

Yeah I am aware of that episode, I've seen it numerous times. We also see Mikey having a birthday in one flash back clip in BTTS. And in the TMNT comic book that was brought out by Image. Everyone is celebrating Donnie's 18th birthday with some rather tragic results.

The only reason it would be called a hatching day instead of a birthday is because Turtles hatch from eggs. Mikey's the party guy so it would make sense that he would want to have a birthday party, or any excuse to have a good time.

I wouldn't mind it. 2 of my favorite episodes from the 2k3 series were flashback episodes to their childhood.

It would be interesting in theory, but would it really work? I don't think there would be very much action since they'd have to stay in the sewers due to young age.

[Refractive Reflections]

The immaturity of the Nick Turtles at this point, already makes them "Tweenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

exactly true. which is why i said earlier, a "kiddy version" of the tmnt already exists in the nick series.

and if your looking for toddler turtles, again, nick is the closest thing.

I don't know if you read my whole post or more so my post on this page, above...It does not have to take place entirely in the sewers.

They wouldn't be babies, I just used Muppet Babies as an example of the different cartoons that have gotten the child-ization treatment. I think it could be really cool seeing them grow up and learn their skills. Humor could be similar to those other shows.

Im not saying there would be a kid version of Shredder or April since that wouldn't add up with them coming out of hiding but obviously thered have to be some bending since it can't all take place in the sewer. Maybe they'd fight playground bullies. They could go out on Halloween and pretend they're trick or treaters. Hey this could even explain them having and knowing of modern conveniences like TV.

I dont mind seeing this as an add-on to the existing series, released in webisode format - stories like combating playground bullies might actually be funny, and great social commentary for children. but i dont think this could stand on its own.

[Ninjinister]

Wasn't this something Will Tupper once "confirmed" for a season of 2K3? And then it almost happened, sort of, with a Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time sort of dynamic?

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, that was when the Turtles were going to meet their kid selves. Luckily, it never got off the ground.

If they do introduce Turtle Tot episodes into the Nick series, I sincerely hope that the VAs don't try to voice themselves as kids. As much as I loved the Turtle Tot eps from 4Kids, hearing the VAs try to do kid voices just was horrendous. I think it would be better if Nick got actual little kids to voice the kid Turtles. But who knows? Maybe the VAs would surprise us. We'll just have to see how it goes.

[Lou 500]

Forget kids, how about shorts where we see them going about their lives as old guys? This would probably be in a universe like Fast Forward where mutants and aliens are accepted in society and they all have their own apartments; the stories wouldn't just be confined to the sewers and nightime streets.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I'd love to see them as old men, but I know that'll probably never happen in this lifetime. Ah well, that's what fan fiction is for.

[Shark_Blade]

We already have them as old guys in Same As It Never Was...
