Makes me jealous that with today's Technology, we'll never see cool behind the scene footage on a product that has the same atmosphere as the Fred Wolf version ever did. It was cool seeing how animators use the storyboard and dialogue to fit the animation properly. Of course its not the same with Fred Wolf when they were all hand-painted, and is part of the nostalgic charm I like with that series.

I like the design of the new Lair. It seems to combine spacy nature of the 4kids Lair with some more organic sewer developments. Also, some of the rooftop scenes seem to retain the Mirage/Movie/4kids spirit, so it looks to combine previous incarnations while introducing new elements well.

The animation is starting to grow on me, though if you still think its "flat", so was the OT according to an interview with one of the cast members. 0:37 reminds me of the Turtles' introductions by Splinter scene in the first 1987 episode. That monster around 3:08 looks like some random killer tomato, which isn't unlike some of the Fred Wolf foes.

Ok, it was nice to see but made me wonder: how much do they know about the other TMNT universes? They only mentioned the Mirage and the OT versions.


The Shredder "is much darker and scarier in this version than it was, say, in the original cartoon".
Any Shredder from any TMNT universe is darker and scarier than the '87 one, you're not being helpful.


And when they say that in their version every Turtle has a different look and personality... it's like they read only the first issue of Mirage comics.

ROFL at the use of The Hardy Boyz music...

[DarkLightDragon]

That was awesome.

Spoiler:

The clip of Raph and Spike was adorable (Raph's Girl is gonna love that).

Interesting that they mention how Spiderbite gets under Raph's skin. Should that be considered as a slight nod to 2k3 Raph's hate for bugs?

Really cool video! Makes me even more hyped that this debuts in just a few weeks.

At the SDCC panel, the staff members present mentioned that they looked over every incarnation to isolate the best elements to retain in their new show and find out what worked and what didn't in each. They even mentioned the OT and 2k3 series' by their fan-given handles, so they must be quite familiar with the fandom as well.

I love how the guy says "in previous incarnations of the property every Turtles looked identical", while sitting in front of a Mirage comic cover with the Turtles in multicolored bandannas.

I think they meant that the actual turtles looked identical and that's why they needed the colored bandanas (and in the 80s toon, the belt letters). So they're saying that even without their weapons and bandanas you'd be able to tell which of the new turtles is which because of their physical differences.

for fairness and completions sake one should add too that cero has benn a big fan of the turtles since he bought the very first comics...when they were new..he also said he learned to draw by trying to imitate kevins style of drawing...don't worry, hombres:this show will be amazing!!..I think in some of these scenes here we don't get the final product as there are often no real backgrounds behind the characters and the lighting seems still a little off...I am really excited over thisI LOVE it that we get the show here later and that I will be scoping around the internet, squeezing it out for information and reviews on the episodes

But the 4Kids, and IDW series gave the Turtles different skin colors.

Good stuff, I liked it.

[CyberCubed]

The only thing I don't like so far is the amount of mutants, and ugly/boring ones at that. Who is that blob guy? Why not bring back old better characters instead?

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

You don't get that whole bit about "creating and adding to the franchise's pedigree" do you?

An ugly black blob is their idea of a new interesting character? Dogpound and Fishface look promising, but I don't know what to think of them yet.

I hope this show doesn't go overboard on mutants. We have plenty of old characters they need to return like Rahzar/Tokka, Slash, Armaggon, Groundchuck/Dirtbag if they're looking for more mutant villains.

D'awwww@Raph and Spike.... "Chew on your leaf if you understand me..."
