What's the current situation on the possible TMNT DVD?

I have really wanted to figure out what's the official word becuase I am in the process of buying a bunch of great quality turtles VHS's and getting them convereted to digital. I don't want to do this and waste my money however, if a Turtles DVD is coming out. From what I heard, it has been confirmed that a DVD will come out in 2003. Is this true, and is there any other information? Thanks in advance.

There is still no word on any information about the TMNT dvd that I know of. dvdtoons will probably have the info as soon as it's released.

There was something about it. Can't remember exactly. Something about a picture of a list of TMNT merchandise and on the list was a DVD. Not too sure. Someone will help you though.

**Karpo_007** · 06-02-2003, 05:32 AM

Only thing that is known is that it's supposedly coming in 2003.

There is a Original Cartoon dvd, but they haven't said what will be on it, our guess is that it's probably just season 1 (5 eps) and they'll see how well that sells and they'll make more.

There is a new toon dvd 100% guranteed, but we dont' know what episodes will be on that one either.

If it helps, a voice actor (the one who did jack kirby and nano's father) posts frequently on www.kinnikuman.com
He was saying something that an ultimate muscle dvd is confirmed, if you ask him about tmnt I"m sure he could help.

That listed the merchandise for the new series, not the old one.

*Deathknight* · 06-02-2003, 05:34 PM

This just in on the TMNT dvd:
According to Gobo's in TMNT-files contact in Artisan (who knows if this is reliable) the DVD has been pushed back to April 2004 and it will be a re-release of the vhs "The Epic Begins." Yes the horrible vhs of the 1st season EDITED FOR TIME TO FIT ON ONE VHS. ARGHHHH, this is taliban.... no this is worse than the taliban if it is true!

Edit: I made a mistake his source said March '04

BigThew · 06-02-2003, 05:38 PM

better not be true

~~PWDESAI~~ · 06-02-2003, 05:45 PM

Gobo is a loser

Diesel420 · 06-02-2003, 08:27 PM

That will sooooo suck if that's true. What would be the point of re-releasing that lump of crap? I sure hope they do release them like forsay The Simpsons Season DVDs.

One Radical Dude · 06-02-2003, 10:40 PM

I'm not believing it (Gobo's information) until I hear about it on toonzone.net or dvdtoons.com...or any other news source.

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 06-03-2003, 08:23 AM

Yes, until I hear it from an "official source" I'm considering that information as bogus.

Of course, at this point, it seems as though pigs will have to fly through the air before we get the old cartoon on DVD.

It Don't get it why they are holding it back. It was the most succesfull children's franchice in early 90's, and those kids are now at their best buing age. I guess Artisan doesn't see it that way.

*Deathknight* · 06-03-2003, 08:21 PM

Artisan is obviously not a good company. I mean even all 27 episodes of Mega Man were released on DVD and that series wasn't much of a hit. TMNT was a huge success and made tons of money and you would think that they would make a project like this top priority since they will probably pour in profits from it.

**Karpo_007** · 06-03-2003, 08:59 PM

Especially since they could ride on name of new TMNT line. Makes no sense.

One Radical Dude · 06-03-2003, 10:29 PM

Well, unfortunately, Gobo's information appears to be accurate.

"Direct from the new Artisan Project manager for this release:

"We still plan to release the DVD but it has been moved to March 2004. As the first release we plan to release the first episode, The Epic Begins, this is a 70-minute episode. We are also planning some special features and cool packaging but have not started to develop them yet, maybe you have some good ideas..."."

Sources: DVDtoons.com and ninjaturtlesnetwork.com

It's great that there will be a DVD of the old series, but it's not good that it'll be "The Epic Begins" version. If there are to be more DVDs in the future, Artisan better think again.

On the DVDtoons information on the DVD, it does can you can write to:

Artisan Entertainment
2700 Colorado Avenue, 2nd Floor
Santa Monica, CA 90404

Oxnard Hamster · 06-03-2003, 11:34 PM

So have they at least re-released the movies on DVD? I sure hope so, because I never get tired of watching them.

Well, I'll take all I can get I suppouse. I'd prefer the full episodes, but I guess that's good enough...

**Karpo_007** · 06-04-2003, 07:44 AM

Im not going to buy it if it's just "Epic Begins". Thats the excatly same as the first DVD that is now sold in scandinavia. Im really disapointed if it isn't the full first season.

*Raven* · 06-04-2003, 07:46 AM

i think they should put somthing to do with mgs
