Sneak Peek Video of Nickelodeon TMNT

[Ninjinister]

Not terrible, I'm not hatin' it. Rendering looks kinda '90's though, so I hope it gets fleshed out and detailed.

[Donnie]

Looks great, but I'm going to be honest and say that I do not like Don's weapon change. I think Nick will still give him his bo - but if not, that weapon is completely opposite to what makes Donatello...Donatello. Not cool. But I'm not going to freak out like the Mikey fans did with the chucks, lol.

[oldmanwinters]

As regards Donny's new staff, let's not forget that he's always been packed with awesome accessories in addition to his "simple wooden bo that can disarm any adversary!"

Remember the hand sword and battle axe that could slip on the bo from the original 2k3 Playmates toy line?

It seems Donatello has long had an mild affinity for sharp objects. Does anybody else remember that he is pictured with a sword in his belt on the cover of Eastman and Laird's very first issue?

Only if you count animatics, which still isn't the actual show.

I thought I heard they had screened test animation...oh god tell me this isn't it...

There was test animation of Leo, but it was basically just showing off the model, not part of the pilot in any way.

[Jester]

Ahh. Thanks for clearing that up. The people behind the scenes seemed impressed with it. Heard alot of them saying what a good day it was for a turtle fan/Nick Staffer.

[Candy Kappa]

test animation don't really have to be show related, could be anything from the model picking up a ball or a simple walk cycle

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if they'll release that Leo test model to the public.

[Abnormal Freak]

If this is what we can expect, they might as well call the show Lego Toe-Head-Alien Textureless Ninja Turtles. Not digging these designs or the previously revealed image at all.

LOL, I thought I was the only one who thought their heads/faces made them look like aliens.

But I agree, there's no detail/texture, anything. Looks like a PS2 game.

Anyone here must not have played a recent videogame in the last 5 years if you honestly can't say some PS2 games look better than this.

Then pop-up blades makes it look a bit hilarious

[Oniri]

I know that this is just a teaser, but how does this relate to the promo image they gave us earlier? I mean, I see a few similarities, but we have pretty much had two completely different concepts displayed to us.

Is this just a teaser and the finalized version will have details similar to the promo image or is the teaser more finalized than the promo image?

[Spitfire]

There's over a year before the show airs. I seriously doubt the turtles will look like this. I'm assuming the mutation line was code for "pre-production art" meaning it's not finished. If it is everyone's reaction here may ensure it won't look like this. If they read this board they will see the backlash.

I can't see how anyone will miss that

[Jester]

Let's see how totally wrong I was....

-The show will be in CG. They showed us a little test clip of Leo swinging his katana around. It looked amazing.

-This is a big reboot. They are not afraid to change things drastically to make the story they want to tell better including character relationships. This is a completely new Turtle universe.

-The show has found a really nice place between action and comedy. The action is impressive and the comedy is truly laugh out loud funny.

-This version of the turtles focusses far, far more on the "teenage" part than any other previous versions of the turtles. This is a good thing. It really brings something fresh and new to the concept.

Bonus info: I watched this sat next to my Fanboy and Chum Chum director, Mr Ken Mitchroney. He agreed, "they nailed it".

I can't really answer more than that, but having been a turtle fan since 1987, this is exciting stuff.

Yep, completely. One wonders if Biggs is the actor he mentions in other posts about being known to us...I hope not.

As long as the finished show looks better than a PS2 game from the year 2005, then I'll have no complaints.
