Complete movie collection on Blu-Ray in August?

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Maybe an expanded version of the collection will be released after the 2011 film, just to make some more money.

i'm still not entirely convinced of shelling (no pun intended) my money over for either the standard, or Blu-Ray when i have TMNT 4 on dvd already. if only to get the 3 Original movies on disk

Before this decision, there were only two other times in my life that I ever heard casual fans call it that, to which I laughed heartily and said that they must be confusing it with the videogame's title. Previously, the closest thing there was to a subtitle was the tag-line: "THE TURTLES ARE BACK... IN TIME".

Now then... we've got an update for you on Warner's forthcoming release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 25th Anniversary Collection on DVD and Blu-ray on 8/4 (for New Line). Per the official press release, both will include all four movies in the series. The DVD set (SRP $39.92) will also come packaged in a collectible tin DVD travel case, with four turtle masks and temporary tattoos. The Blu-ray set ($84.99) will come in retro pizza box packaging, and will include all the stuff we mentioned before - a reproduction comic book, an exclusive original sketch with creator Peter Laird's autograph, collectible character cards and a TMNT beanie hat.

I have all four movies on DVD too (even the Target 2-disc for TMNT), but I'll most likely end up upgrading these to Blu with this set.

Here is larger box art for the DVD version

damn, $63.99 for Blu-Ray, that's crazy! i know Blu-Ray is usually more than dvd, but $33 more is nuts

[turkishproverb]

esp. since they're not touting it as a remaster.

So I just read a press release about all the new dollar store type junk that's going to be packed in with these DVDs, but have we learned if there's going to be any special features or anything that's actually cool and has something to do with the movie? They've reprinted the first issue like 10 times now and just last week they were giving it away for free. What I really want is a documentary on making the movie, or some interviews, or DELETED SCENES (and the alternate ending)!! If those types of things are included it'll be a must have set, if not then I'll probably pick up the Blu Ray just for sh*ts and giggles even though I don't own a Blu Ray player yet.

[TMNT]

I feel the same way Ecto. I realize that the set doesn't come out until August, but at this point, if we were getting deleted scenes, a documentary or even a commentary, I think we would have heard something by now. The fact that Warner Bros. is promoting the Blu-Ray set with only the collectible items kind of seals the deal, as far as getting any other extra material. But I'll gladly be proven wrong on that. In other forums I've visited, people seem generally excited for the release, if only for nostalgia's sake. I guess, to Warner Bros., that's all that's needed to move these things off the shelves. That's all that was ever needed. And I don't think it's the first issue of the comic. It looks like a movie adaptation comic (this was mentioned in another thread). As I've said before, it'd be a nice set to own, if only as a fan and better picture quality alone.

Man, i got the TMNT 1-3 box set for $15 and TMNT 4 for $5. What more does this set offer me?

After the release i will be able to download the bonus features anyways.

Im kind of tired of all these versions of DVD being released. I mean they will release one, then a month later we get an unrated or "ultimate" then a year later we get another one, and so on......

Gets a little annoying IMO

[twopinacoladas]

It needs special features the others were missing... gotta agree. I doubt I will buy it otherwise. Most fans probably have them all and they can be bought at walmart for less then $10 a piece Canadian. I was annoyed with the lack of commentary on The Dark Knight and Quantum of Solace. I will likely quit buying dvd's if they dont want to put effort into them. Its very easy to pirate stuff but if I like the movies or am fans of it I will buy them... studios are just to lazy about it. I think just about all the 007 dvds have commentary even the old ones and those were mostly put together when DVD first came out. haha sorry about the little rant

[Kendamu]

The discs themselves make me want pizza.

Also, the discs look single-sided. I'm all for single-sided TMNT discs. I'll see what kind of money I have sitting around when the time comes to buy the set. Maybe I'll get it. Maybe I won't. I'll probably wait for some kinda review first.

I'd jump on the, "No special features means no purchase," boat but I'm not holding my breath for a cool special edition until at least 2011.

Same here. I almost bought the three originals at Wal-Mart last weekend, but they still have the same ridiculous DVD "games" as the previous release, just with shiny new packaging. I feel like we've been severely shafted in this area as fans for a long time.

[Spitfire]

Man the boxart for the DVD version is way better.

Also what the hell is this
DVD Empire

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Turtles In Time

Umm since when did it ever have that title?

EDIT: Apparently I'm not the only one who noticed this.

Hey your right, maybe the stars aligned

I like the idea of the Blue ray box but it's the movie 4 turtles which is what turns me off. That and the disks are decorated to look like pizzas, I like the idea of manhole covers with ooze on them better.

Meh, I'd just rather have the turtles than some generic manhole with some cgi looking ooze.*shruggs*

[Jester]

So, the general consensous is if you have the 4 movies, don't waste your money on the "upgrade"?

We should make our own box. It would be much better.

I would have to say yes since there's no added bonuses and if your like me you would now own the third movie against your will.

I plan on getting the Bluray set but that's it and after I get the player of course.

[Jester]

I'd gladly re-up my TMNT movie collection, if Warner Bros./New Line would add some decent bonus features.

Can you hear me Warner Bros.!?
