Do you think the TMNT Nicktoon will spawn an animated movie?

Live-action movie one year / Nick Toon movie the next - and repeat. Would be so sweet.

I think a TMNT movie every year may be overexposure unless if demand is really strong, like what Secret of the Ooze was after the first movie. But I'm fine with hourlong season finales as they have more room to set up an important event, with multi-parters another option. The OT's closest equivalent was Planet of the Turtleoids and perhaps the Shredder/Krang three-parter in the final season. Finally, the 2007 movie was independent from 4kids and was just a way to have a separate movie property that flied under many people's radars.

This topic belongs in the Nick section, guys.

Would it be too kiddy to do that? Honestly if the story is good I wouldn't mind something like that.

Honestly, that would be far more interesting and fun to me then just another likely attempt at Turtles Forever, since it potentially ties our universe to theirs, and isn't the dull 'universe ending catastrophe' that gets overplayed a lot these days.

One of my ideas back when we first saw the promos for them going into that weird place with all of the shimmering dimensional doors, was for one of these dimensions to be door to our world. That is, they would peer through one of the doors and see a real child sitting in front of the TV, watching a Nick TMNT episode. I would love to have seen that, as a subtle wink to all the fans.

They're not going to make an animated movie for theaters that's part of the Nicktoon. They might make a TV movie like Turtles forever, or they might make an animated movie based on TMNT that is unrelated to any cartoon like with the 2007 movie, but the Nicktoon will not have a theatrical release.

Granted, said theatrical movie might be more in line with the Nicktoon for marketing reasons, but I doubt it'll actually be part of the cartoon or even so close it might as well be a non-canon episode like with the DBZ movies.

Spoiler:

Yeah yeah, I know the DBZ movies from Battle of Gods onwards will all be considered canonical to the manga, but the ones from the 90's aren't, hell even the regular TV-anime isn't really canon.

If a movie was made that was a continuation of the Nick cartoon, the turtles would probably still be retreating in North Hampton (or where ever they are).

But they're returning to New York pretty soon.

Plus they'd have already killed off/resolved most of the villains, so there would be that issue of finding something for the Turtles to 'do' for the movie.
