Will the old toon/NM ever air again? - Page 2

**GK Punk** · 01-10-2004, 11:14 PM

No, actually it's the very first rendition of the ghostbusters and finding info on it on the internet is next to impossible

It featured Two Ghostbusters, and a Gorilla as the stars.
It was invinted in the 70s, but I remember watching it when He-Man, She-Ra, etc would air when I was a kid. Oh and Bravestarr is another one.

^ Yup, there was a Ghostbusters live-action show (nout to do with the movie) with a monkey before the Ghostbusters movie came along. When they made the movie they managed to work an agreement so they could use the name 'ghostbusters' but when the cartoon came out they had to alter it, hence 'The Real Ghostbusters'. The Filmation Ghostbusters even made a cartoon in the 80s to cash in on the Ghostbusters success.

I'm hoping for a proper R2 dvd release now, with plenty of extras (there has to be some behind the scenes stuff lying about for them to use).

That might be thinking a little too hopeful. The only extra on the R1 disc is the original trailer. There IS tons of stuff they could use, but they have yet to use it.

I wish the old toon would air again, then I could get some HQ episodes on tape. At least now I can watch the new toon on Cartoon Network... my cable company finally added Cartoon Network!

No doubt it was rereleased to cash in on the new series, but finally we got the uncut version

Uncut version? I heard some Utrom scenes were cut from the second movie, what was cut from the original?

Also to rephrase my question, do you think the two previous versions of the TMNT will be re-realised on DVD?

**GK Punk** · 01-12-2004, 03:31 AM

Well the original series is suppoused to be released on DVD at some point, but I think in the US it's just the mini series, I'm not sure on that though.

As for Next Mutation, I wouldn't count on it. We are suppoused to pretend it never happened.

There's at least one TNM dvd over here I think. Fox Kids released a few dvds a while back, Spider-Man, Power Rangers etc. I think TNM may have been one of them.

As for what was cut from the movie, it was basically anything with the nunchuks in (I still can't spell that, lol!). People over here believed them to be too 'mature' for us lot so in the UK all scenes with them in or being used were cut, fore example:

- Mikey swinging them whilst ordering pizza
- the stand off between Mikey and the foot soldier
- the end where they throw the weapons over the side. You don't see the nunchuks land on the ladder, and you miss the whole bit where Splinter is using them to hold onto Shredder. Instead he just goes flying over the top straight into the truck.

They even cut scenes like that from the cartoon. The UK opening misses out the brief bit of Mikey swinging them about, and instead of showing all four of them in darkness before showing the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' logo, it pauses on Mikey and the 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles' logo fades into view, looking very dodgy. I always thought it looked a bit strange, and now I know why

How ironic, so it's okay for the British Government to legalise there stockpile of nuclear missiles (Weapons that can vaporise a city in an instant) but it's not okay or a TV show/movie (Fantasy stuff) to use a of set of smaller and less deadly weapons.

Hold it buster, this is NOT going to be turned into another "my country's better than yours" 8itchfest!

Please knock it off with the slamming of other countries. I dont mean to sound rude in any way, but Australia is Not perfect either, so stop putting down all the other countries.

Jarrah:

That has nothing to do with the topic on hand, and if you continue to Bash other countries, Knowing that political discussion is not welcome here currently, we will have no choice but to give you another warning. Please keep that in mind. Thanks.

yes pleasde stop JW. And besides they put the movie back in with every thing.

One Radical Dude · 01-12-2004, 11:13 PM

Anything goes, dudes/dudettes. I do believe the original toon will air again at some point. It's been a very long time, though. As for TNM, I don't even wanna think about it.
