Except that the story was originally written before Kirby passed away and still had the same ending.

Next three, my friend. Next three.

hmmm . . . didn't know how the comic ended since i don't have it (or any for that matter). but you can still make that connection i suppose.

and yes, the next three should be good. i wonder what "Tales of Leo" will be about. i wonder how far into his past they will tell stories.

Mmm....

Great episode! I also loved how they had bits of TMNT1 (hiding & teddy bear) and TMNT2 (unexpected delivery guy) mixed into the ep to lead into the Kirby sequence. It did dissapoint that they ended the show with Don in the basement though. And well, since I didn't know they were showing previews way inot the Cramp Twins, I split the scene before that. But if I did know, ugh.. I don't think I want to chance raising Cramp Twin Ratings by leaving it only long enough to see the preview. No matter. I know what's to be next anyhoo.

Also funny they have April in a yellow T shirt (that covers all). She changes clothes! Whoa...

But what really impressed me is how they nearly matched the Don/Kirby scenario word for word. Very little was changed from the original tale once the two entered the fantasy world. Of course, the way they staged the monster attack, it so reminded me of LotR: the Twin Towers as well, when the orcs where storming the fort.

Good show!

*wonders also, just how many Raph fans will be requesting screenshots of a wet n nekkid Raph*

i wonder if it would have been wrong to show him without his towel. i mean, it's not like his belt and knee pads covered anything up before . . .

**Nturtle** · 05-31-2003, 09:34 AM

This was a great episode!!!
have that kid's book too! I need to find it one of these days, its buried in my room somewhere.

I caught the little Movie refrence in the apartment there, that was good.
Did anyone else notice all the monsters were variations on just 3 designs?

Oh well I guess its hard to draw too many diffrent monsters.

There was also what I would think was a lotr reference "You shall not pass!" When the human guys fight the monsters the first time.

They did a great job bringing the comic and Jack Kirby's stuff into animation life.

Next week is the Leonardo One Shot....

I wondered if Raph had pupils without his mask on, but we never really got to see all that clearly...

*Cascadia* · 05-31-2003, 10:20 AM

The first part was different from the microseries. But at the end, some of the scenes were missing. It threw a twist on me.....it did not show Donny going up the stairs and meeting up with Raph. I missed the line, "What is eating him?"

Otherwise, it is a good episode.

Since I remember reading that they would have pupils when they didn't have their masks on, I was an über-geek who ran up close to the TV and squinted to see if I could tell. But I really couldn't.

Wow, fantastic episode. It was pretty much straight from the comics, with a few references to the first movie. Very well done.

I can't wait for "Shredder Strikes Back"!

~~TheShredder~~ · 05-31-2003, 11:02 AM

Yeah I noticed the LOTR "You shall not pass!" reference too. Hey I wonder how Don is gonna explain to April how her treant just disapearered!?

I don't think they ever addressed that issue in the comics. I wonder if they will in the cartoon...

They never explained that in the issue or the children's book.

I hope they do do something about that. It would be funny if they opened next weeks ep. with April yelling at Don.

First of all. *screams "OMG, Raph's in a towel!" like the rabid little fangirl she is* There, now that that's out of my system.

I totally loved this episode. Of course I got a kick out of the references to the movies, and I instantly noticed that April had a different outfit on. Not sure if the yellow works for her, but I do like the full shirt instead of the half shirt.

Did anybody else get a kick out of Don's battle cries? He was totally getting into the fight, and having fun, I found that amusing.

I was kinda disappointed that they didn't do the end scene between Raph and Don, and that they didn't show Raph in that much detail, but it's not really something to get worked up about. They did a great job with the story, keeping it very true to the original, yet still managing to tie it together with the current storyline.

Is it just me, or does this show keep getting better and better?

It was amusing with Don's battle cries.

~~TheShredder~~ · 05-31-2003, 12:30 PM

I think the yellow shirt was a nod to the old cartoon.

~~PWDESAI~~ · 05-31-2003, 01:00 PM

but it wasn't a jumpsuit! I can't wait to see april in a towel HURURURURURRUR

Today's ep was pretty sweet, I just wish I wasn't sick

POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR NEXT EPISODE:

I wonder how they're going to do it if it is supposedly the Leonardo one shot, because that happened in the winter, Christmas time to be exact, and would feel out of place if it was done in the Beginning of June.... Without the snow battles, it just wouldn't be Leonardo #1

*Cascadia* · 05-31-2003, 01:17 PM

It could still work.....I know that it would not be the same but it probably will be similar.
