Was this scene ever released on the 1st TMNT movie DVD? - Page 2

Thanks a lot for those pictures, Brina! Here is Chapter 23 from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Novelization by B.B. Hiller:

"A few days later, April and Danny entered the offices of Mar-Cee Comics. They had an appointment with the publisher himself.
After a long wait in the reception area, a secretary ushered them into Mr. Cushman’s office. It was spacious and had huge picture windows all along one wall. The other walls were covered with comic-book covers featuring such weird creatures as Amazing Aardvarks, Mighty Marsupial, and Nuclear Nightwing. These were some of Danny’s favorites. That’s why they had chosen this particular company for April’s proposal.
April handed Mr. Cushing an envelope. He opened it and pulled out her drawings. They were the sketches she had made of the Turtles while they were training at the farm. Mr. Cushing examined them carefully, but April couldn’t help notice that his eyebrows kept popping up.
'Uh, these are, uh, very interesting, Miss O’Neil,' he said after a few minutes. 'But as the basis of a comic book? I’m afraid the idea is just too…'
He searched for a word. April and Danny waited. '…uh, too farfetched.'
He would have been even more surprised if he’d turned around right then. He would have seen four farfetched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles clinging to his picture window with suction cups, laughing hysterically."

Y'know... that scene would have been really cool to at least see, even if it didn't make it into the movie. I hope one day they'll put it on a DVD.

Although it will probobally never happen, I have to agree with you. Maybe they'll release a Special Edition of Movie 1?

Yeep, I heard this one too...I believe this is 100% true. It's cute, I can see Mike falling off.

Evil tripod? Not really. I post pics all the time that are hosted on my site that's Tripod. I think you gotta actually pay for their service to remote link stuff. I do so...it's no problem for me.

Laird mentioned this:

"Not many people know this, but the first TMNT movie originally had a different ending. As scripted, it went something like this: Shortly after the big battle with the Foot and the defeat of the Shredder, the now unemployed April decided to take the concept of a comic book based on the adventures of the turtles to a publisher to see if they would publish it. In a scene set in the publisher's office, April (and Danny, I think) were shown waiting anxiously as the publisher dude perused her sketches and proposal... which he then handed back to her, saying something like "This is too weird... nobody will buy this comic!" Whereupon the turtles -- who had been clinging to the wall outside the office window -- react with various expressions of comic dismay, and I think Mike actually falls off the building."

"Anyway, I think this scene was actually filmed (I've seen stills from it)."

for some odd reason, I think I've actually seen this part....

After seeing the images I had a deja vu kind of feeling myself like I had seen this before somewhere in some form.

I always thought the rooftop ending was a little abrupt, now I know why.

Thanks Brina for sharing the scans, they are awesome.

Sounds like TMNT 1 got quite a crappy DVD release. They should do a director's cut edition or at least include a special feature of all the delete scenes. That would rock.

**Jo Dawn** · 03-11-2004, 12:18 PM

Yeah, that would be cool.

Aaron · 03-11-2004, 01:38 PM

I've never heard of this scene before but I would love to see it!

*Raven* · 03-11-2004, 05:07 PM

man those pictures are cool, i wish they would of kept that part in the movie

uviuar · 03-15-2004, 03:50 PM

How many pictures are we talkin about here? All you'd need is like a few megs to fit dozens upon dozens if properly compresed as jpeg, which you seem to be doing. I cant think of one free webserver that doesnt provide at least 5megs, which could cover your needs unless you have huge full screen pictures.

I would love to see that clip. XD I remember the sticker book, mine was almost full! I can so imagine Mikey falling off XD

Were any images from this scene in the sticker book?

You are probably talking about the same sticker book Brinatello mentioned.

**Jester** · 03-18-2004, 04:01 PM

Orochi Chimera · 03-18-2004, 04:23 PM

There was a thread that mentioned something about the UK release having extras. I don't think anything was confirmed though.
