Teeny Mutant Ninja Turtles - TMNT preschool show on the way!

Since it's just a YouTube thing, clearly aiming at those kids I see glued to videos on their parent's phone in public, and no attempt to be THE direction they're taking the franchise, then it's whatever, I can ignore it.

I'd prob check out an ep, but it doesn't look watchable the way Half Shell Heroes was. Writing-wise, that one was still largely on the same level as 2012, just toned down a bit, but this seems like it may be painfully babyish for anyone outside of the intended age group. I'm sure fans with kids in that age group will be glad to have an introduction for them.

They’re not very cute. Their proportions look more like human characters. Especially Donatello. That’s disappointing. I thought the toys would at least be nice to get.

I’m surprised the PLANTS haven’t been here today.

Sure, this is not going to be the 'main' face of the franchise but I can't help but think we have the Mutant Mayhem Sequel which is going to be a kids movie heavily drawing from the '87 show. The Sonic-fied live action feature which will be another kids movie heavily drawing from the '87 show and now this.

It's one thing to have multiple versions aimed at different age demographics but all we're getting of stuff skewed younger and younger. At least give us something that someone over eight might appreciate.

[CyberCubed]

The next live-action movies (if they happen), aren't meant to be like Sonic movies exactly, they meant they want to make them in quick succession like how Sonic got 4 movies extremely fast since 2020. Meaning they want a new live action trilogy of TMNT to be a success.

And I don't think they can possibly be worse than the Michael Bay NOSTRIL HULK Turtles with MEGAN FOX April and Eric SACHS and all the other nonsense they had planned for those movies with WHITE MAN Shredder or ALIEN Turtles.

They also know those movies bombed, so I suspect they'll put a little more effort into the next live action reboot.

Agree. While I don't get the feeling they intend this to be anywhere near the face TMNT for the general population, since they ended MM's series and immediately stated they're still looking at another non-TLR live action movie, it's wild and annoying that they are still too afraid of going the other way, too. If Disney+ even has content for mature audiences, Paramount should be able to safely venture into that side of TMNT on theirs...

Well, that would be comforting if true, but I don't trust them not to be wanting to copy the likes of those movies and Space Jam, putting cartoon characters in the real world instead of being realistic. I'd take reasonable, subtle nostrils over that, sorry. lol

There are reasons. But none of them good. And most of them might necessitate the FBI looking at your hard drives.

it's worth noting the designs are heavily inspired by the 2012 show. I mean Mikey and Donatello are pretty much the same designs only younger.
That's probably their go to designs since it's the only successful thing nick gas done with them.

[IndigoErth]

Does def look like there is inspiration of 2012 there. But permit me to be slightly petty over the fact they took blue eyes away from Leo. lol

Eh, I mean prob some...but I'd be more inclined to believe the majority of older fans that watch it are simply eager to witness anything TMNT.


I will generally check out most anything for better and for worse and I'm sure I'll prob take a look at an ep of this, but personally, I feel like the Nick Jr. preschool tone is just going too feel painfully juvenile and not be watchable like Half Shell Heroes was.

If it's annoying on repeat, my sympathy to parents of that age group and hope they age into MM and 2012 quickly enough.

[sdp]

The audience for this is toddlers, the only adults who will actually be watching will be severly autistic people, fans that have OCD and must watch everything with the TMNT name on it, and "Content Creators" who will make videos about it trashing a toddlers show for being a show for toddlers

[Mad Dog McMutt]

I feel completely indifferent to this new series. I don't think it will harm the franchise, but I also don't think it will benefit the franchise either.

I just realized that this version of Raphael isn’t wearing a durag and Donatello isn’t wearing glasses. I don’t know why that was such a shock for me to realize, but I hate the fact that it’s a realization I’m glad I had.

Yeah, that's something refreshing, at least!

Do you like Donnie more with or without glasses ?

[CyberCubed]

Don wearing glasses is a terrible stereotype. We're not in the 1980's anymore.

[Mad Dog McMutt]

I would much prefer it if the Raph du rag and Donnie's glasses were dropped entirely. Hopefully Mikey's braces don't become a thing as well.

I prefer the turtles not weighed down with needless trinkets and accessories to differentiate them. Donatello with glasses because he’s smart is stupid. Raphael with a durag because he’s tough is moronic. Michelangelo with braces is ridiculous.
