Here in The Netherlands we have a show called 'Huis Anubis', which other countries bought from us. In the UK it's called 'The House of Anubis', I believe. It's pretty dark (In The Netherlands that is, in the UK not so much) and not simplistic at all. And still, children get it and love it.

It's being made for children, not idiots that don't understand anything.

Ya know I wrote out this long drawn out reply in response to this post and I couldn't bring myself to hit submit... I have come to the conclusion that it is just about impossible to change someone's opinion via the internet so I think I would much rather just see someone post and swim in their own ignorance.

Anyway, I'm actually liking the look of this so far. Could use a bit of work on some of the dialogue and a tad more seriousness, but this is an unfinished storyboard for a pitch pilot, so it's obviously unfinished. Besides, we haven't seen the whole episode yet, so it's a bit too early to judge. Either way, it's looking fun so far. Looking forward to seeing a finished episode!

You must be only looking at thumbnails if you have to ask. Left-click on the pic to see it full-size.

What scares me is that reminds me of a song they sing at the end of every episode of Dora the Explorer. I pray to God the Turtles don't start singing every time they have a victory.

Oh and before anyone remarks that I'm a grown man watching Dora the Explorer, please bear in mind I only watch it when spending time with my 5 year-old niece. I'm hoping to get her interested in more gender neutral cartoon shows like Charlie Brown and Looney Tunes.

Baxter looked interesting, I liked him, other than that the story looked kinda lame.

Thanks for posting them!

i can see this new series being very fun and witty.

Actually, everybody Leo Mystic is right. This show sucks. The animation is horrible, the voice acting is sub-par and the stories are moronic. Who needs an actual episode to make those assumptions? It's patently obvious now that this show is going to make NT:TNM look like the best show ever to air on American TV, ABC's Cavemen.

Finally, a REASONABLE bad review... Take notes, everyone.

*slow clap* If you think you're being funny, you're not.

I don't understand why you all single me out because I'm not the only one around here who isn't liking it.

Since we're going to be that petty, no, they are not. But people around this forum are singling people out that don't agree with them and I don't think it's right. It's called an opinion for a reason. Not everyone is going to like what you do and that's just the truth of the matter.

My problem with these "opinions," is that they seem premature. We only have early character designs, early storyboards, early everything. The show is more than a year away. Lighten up. I can understand people saying the show sucks once it airs, but we really have no way of knowing if it sucks until then. Unless you have a Delorian on hand, we don't know about.

Okay, I'm totally confused, Jester. Was this post here supposed to be sarcastic? You were the one that said to wait and see for the finished product. Plus, Leonardo Mystic was asking why you were singling him out. So this must have been sarcastic. Like I said before: the Sheldon Cooper analogy. I'm not very good with this.

Update: I'm guessing you were sarcastic before, right? Just let me know when you can, Jester.

Sounds a bit like you're jumping to conclusions. I don't approve of Nick's choices either, but I don't wanna be in your boat if you're gonna act like this. Just calm down.

Exactly we're throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Yes, but even the early stuff can still have a big impact on its presentation. From the toy fair pictures in the other thread, it seems that is the character design they are going to stick with and I don't like them. The new storyboards have not done anything at all to impress me or change my mind on this. The BTTS designs look great in comparison and they are the second of the worst three redesigns of the 4Kids' series, counting Turtles Forever, in my opinion.

Hell, if they had to have it in CGI, the TMNT CGI movie designs would be okay by me. I'd at least try to give it a shot then because they're aren't so bad looking actually. It's the same reason I have never watched the third live action movie because I can't get past looking at the fugly costumes on the cover to want to try to.

Look, it's just like if you went to a restaurant. You're going to order something that looks or sounds good, right? I would think you wouldn't want to order raw squid marinated in something found in a baby's diaper.

[Jester]

Wait, there are pictures of the toys? Where?

Really...we're going to use a "Would you eat the contents of a baby diaper?" argument? That I know is crap...besides how often does the food on the plate actually look like the menu? Those pictures are the most meticulously staged pictures ever.

I see this like a stew, that you don't like the ingredients on their own, but once you taste it, you actually enjoy it....maybe.

The images from the licensing show, not toys.

That's not what I meant.
