When is Pizza Hut starting new movie promo

jd04988 · 06-04-2014, 07:22 AM

Just curious if anyone knows when Pizza Hut is going to begin there promotion for the new movie. I realize the movie will not be released until August but thought the promotion will begin before then. I attached a photo of there promotional box.

I didn't even know there was going to be a promotion! That is awesome, though. Hopefully I can get my hands on some new/unused boxes that aren't covered in grease and cheese when they start it.

Hope they do it over this side of the pond as well!

I miss the days when restaurants (yeah you could actually call Pizza Hut that back in the 80s with a straight face. how things have changed!) had cool licensed merch like glassware, vhs tapes, hand puppets (those alf puppets were so awesome!!!)... many fond memories.

Please pizza hut... respark some of that magic within me and do a good promo that will remind us of the good times!

NOSTALGIA TIME!

I remember those well! I bought them all for my nephew back then. His mom probably still has them.

Are they really gonna have merchandise?

They had glow in the dark Casper puppets back in the 90s for the live action movie. I had Stretch, Stinky and Fatso...sadly never got Casper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7M4EpwaOkE

I don't have them anymore unfortunately. Ive seen brand new sets on ebay though. Id like to buy them.

Hells yes - I had the Land Before Time handpuppets and I absolutely adored them, kept them well into my teenage years and then passed them down to my little sis, who also loved them. Fond memories.

I definitely plan on picking up a few new boxes as well. In an image of the Turtles Lair you can see there couch is made of Pizza Hut boxes, so Pizza Hut is showing up in the movie as well. So far I have only heard of the boxes, but definitely hoping there is more merchandise as well.

*Netkeeper* · 06-05-2014, 06:07 AM

Not gonna lie, I'm a little butthurt that it's Pizza Hut and not Domino's, because the former tastes like ass.

jd04988 · 06-05-2014, 06:08 AM

Heres another shot focusing on Donnies computer setup and you can see some more pizza hut boxes.

Cant say im a fan of either any more, I use to love Pizza Huts Priazzo Pie in the 80's it was awesome. I may have to choke down some Pizza Hut for nostalgia.

That box was sent out to film industry folk/ bloggers right before the trailer was released. I dont believe pizza hut is doing anything else with the franchise, but I do remember them being very involved with the tmnt for the first and second films, so maybe?

Dude...those priazzo pies were AWESOME!!!!! They really need to bring those back. Good to know I'm not the only one that remembers those!

I wish Pizza Hut would bring those back. I have attempted to recreate one myself and failed miserably.

Interesting outline of Don's telescopic staff on the box illustration. It now looks like a cheerleader baton

jd04988 · 06-05-2014, 12:01 PM

Someone had pointed something out to me earlier, if you look at the picture showing Donnie's computer setup in the upper right hand corner there is a picture there of what looks like the animated Krang.

Sorry, a bit off topic but cool.

Tmntfan84 · 06-05-2014, 01:23 PM

I can't tell you how excited I am that Pizza Hut will be promoting the movie. Even though the movie will be HORRIBLE, I will gladly take some of that merch.

Not even close. It's the Spitfire logo.

Considering the turtles' entire furniture set is forged from PH pizza boxes I highly doubt they're NOT involved. Here's an example.

Wow, over here it's the opposite - Pizza Hut is good and Dominos pizza is just overcooked cardboard with a layer of cheese and grease on it.

*Powder* · 06-05-2014, 04:44 PM

I don't care which of the two it is as long as it's not Little Caesars.

Both brands have sponsored the TMNT over the years, so I'm glad to see either of them.
