April was only 23 in the 4kids series, and in IDW she was a college student when it first started, so probably only around 18-19 in the first few years.

Besides the only reason 28 year old April worked is because the Turtles were never written like teenagers in any other series, they always felt like adults, so it didn't feel like an age gap between them and April in Mirage or the original cartoon, or the movies, etc. So in the end she still feels like their "sister" alongside them either way.

My lord, I would actually tune in weekly to watch a cartoon like that. Totally captures the fun aspects of tmnt without taking the steam out of it.

Any chance the new cartoon is anything like one of these shorts? Think they are testing the waters?

I liked it, nice transitions between action scenes. I'll just pirate what others have said. Designs are bleh but animation and choreography are great.

Posted the video, but never ended up commenting...

I really like the action and flow of it. I like that they seem to have pretty seamlessly used a little 3D animation for the TCRI truck and external train cars, alongside the 2D. (Or at least it feels that way.)

Agree with what some others are saying, I'm not overly big on the designs. They're cute in a way, esp for a short - and I do like this short a lot and wouldn't mind seeing more of them - but would get old for an actual series. I'd prefer something that was more akin to design quality of 2003 or whatnot. This kind of art style used in some cartoons these days looks too much like someone's carefree-drawn 5 min doodle that never went any further into design development. (I like the human designs, but the art style again is not what I'd want for a series.)

Though it made me laugh that Leo is just randomly wearing shorts, when none of the rest are wearing anything aside from their typical gear. (I like his little shorts though

and like his design most.)

Kudos to those who made this, they did a good job and a lot of work clearly went into it being just a short.

Nick Facebook page finally made official posting of "Strike Hard"; I can't remember if the credits were included on the Russian upload of the TV broadcast, but this one has them. Anybody heard of "Titmouse inc." animation studio?

Chirp.

I'm guessing that you don't watch Adult Swim.

Wow, they are already veterans on the franchise!

And they sure are proud of their work on this Turtles short:

And apparently, they also animated an explicit-content music video for JAY-Z's "The Story of O.J." Wha?

Anything between 20-30 is OK.

Yeah, I know, who would have thought Eastman had abs like that at age 55?

Anyway, at least this one is the best of the Team-Up shorts (still confused about that name), some parts were actually kind of funny.

*CyberCubed* · 07-18-2017, 12:48 PM

I think it's pretty obvious the reason we're seeing this art style so much is this was one of the pitches they were considering going with for a full series. The art style and comedic aspect is just like so many other current Nick or CN or Disney cartoons, they're all animated in a similar way.

All I can say is though thank god for whatever reason the 2018 cartoon isn't going to be like this overall. I think we dodged a bullet here over this style being a full series.

evan2000 · 07-18-2017, 01:22 PM

Wow didn't expect a third Team UP! short, which I think is the funniest one despite being the shortest in length. The post-credit scene really caught me off-guard!

I remember when the TMNT Summer Shorts trailer first came out, many of us assumed that the "Breadwinners TMNT" was going to be the worst one; I guess the low expectation kinda made us enjoy it even more when it turned out to be surprisingly entertaining! I have certainly rewatched these many more times than the other summer shorts so far. Believe it or not, it's still funny after watching them again! POT-HOLE!!!

Do we know that for sure?

Not really but that blurb doesn't really sound like Team-Up, if any of these shorts are Rise's pilot then Strike Hard seems to fit the best.
