I imagine Bebop could look something like this:

Yes!

And Bebop can just ride Rocksteady because he's a 'Rhinosaurus'.

Spoiler:

Thanks, folks. I'll be here all night.

But these adorable turtles deserve cute voices to go with the look, I'm not sure the existing cast can pull that off naturally

Or maybe they will digitally alter their voice to make the pitch higher?

[CyberCubed]

The same way the 4kids VA's sounded when they voiced the Turtle tots. They artificially altered them to make them higher pitched.

Its pretty obvious they're going to use the same Nick VA's for the Turtles.

This looks so cute. I really want to see this. I wish we'd get a turtle kids series. Separate from the normal series. Not a preschool show but something similar to Pup Named Scooby Doo or Tom and Jerry Kids. Actually I made a topic about this not that long ago.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, maybe this is the spin-off they were referring to, and if so, that's awesome.

[Mew]

I need this in my life.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I think this will be awesome, too. I've always wondered what the Nick Turtles were like as kids and now we'll get to see.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'm going to wait until I see a trailer for this special before I give my six cents on what I think about this.

[Cure]

The dinosaurs are wearing their bandanaaaaaaaas. Awesome.

And I'm with plastroncafe, Teen Titans Go! is great. It's incredibly self aware and all the funnier for it. It isn't confused about its identity like the original was (Is it a comedy? Is it super serious? Who knows!).

To be honest, these were my impressions of both Teen Titans and the Nick series during it's first season.

The original teen titans was usually a good blend of both comedy and action most times. There were times were it was serious and those moments were usually pretty great. I wouldn't mind Teen Titans Go if the humor wasn't so childish most of the times.Maybe it got better since I stopped watching but I felt the show was to much of a chore to watch.

[BubblyShell22]

I like both Teen Titans and TTG, so if this show is like TTG, I'm all for it.

I have a feeling this will be a lot less like Teen Titans Goand more like Rescue Bots.

Or like Super Hero Squad as well.

Yeah, seeing the old turtle dinosaur toys in cartoon form won me over.

I disagree with the second part, the original show knew exactly what it was, a tongue in cheek show that could be serious for a while. The problem is a lot of the fanbase didn't understand what it was trying to do which was being awesome but also poking fun at how silly it is. And now a lot of the older fanbase isn't giving this new show a chance which has the same spirit of the old show just got rid of the action scenes, the heart of the original show is still there. If you wanted a serious action show then you should've been watching JLU back in the day and not Teen Titans.

[CyberCubed]

I actually hope this special doesn't prevent the Turtles from traveling in time to the prehistoric in the main series. Definitely want to see a dinosaur episode in the Nick cartoon just like the original cartoon, 2k3, and comics did.

...I'm getting the idea you never watched much of the original show. Because it really does sound like you never watched much of the original show based off your "opinion" on it.

I, like most, fail to see how Go succeeds either as a parody, or an overall comedy. It stripped the characters of the old show clean of any identity (literally EVERY character is the idiot stereotype barring certain episodes where Robin is the straight man up until the last three minutes when HIS character in that very same episode becomes the idiot stereotype), so it fails hugely being a parody, and it just isn't funny as a comedy. Someone please tell me how hearing Beast Boy and Cyborg say "Waffles" over and over for an entire episode, then get hypocritical when other people start doing it with them at the end is funny, much less entertaining.

And, like most bad shows, it doesn't know what is main problem is. And a lot of its fans seem to be led on by one of its most infamous episodes, Let's Get Serious, in that people hate it because it isn't "serious" or "not like the original Teen Titans". Hell no. I'd be all for a Teen Titans show that focused on comedy. If it's funny, sign me up. But it's UNBEARABLY unfunny, managing to fail in more ways than one (as the likes of later SpongeBob episodes do). And, of course you've heard the original Teen Titans wasn't even super-serious to begin with.

But my point is, Go has unfunny, juvenile, overall facepalm worthy humor, and it doesn't get the concept of a parody, which is what it wants to be. That's my two cents, anyway, hopefully this can shed some light on how people who really don't care for the show see it. (It's not that we don't like it's not the original show, we just don't think it's funny in the slightest).

OT: This does look interesting, and I'll definitely check it out! ...Not really sure what it is (although most will agree in saying it's a spin-off for the little tikes) but if it's TMNT and dinosaurs, I mean, I'm up for it!

There was literally an entire episode were Beast Boy and Cyborg argued about whether tacos are better than burittos and vice versa and as you can guess it was a chore to sit through. If this show was funny, witty, and clever I would be all for it but it just isn't and comes off as just another crappy childrens show that bears the name of a series that was great.

[Chaotix12345]

I doubt the characters will actually be any younger than in the regular show. I think that it'll probably be handled more like Super Hero Squad, where everything's just chibi and silly for the sake of it.

[sdp]

It's almost as if you guys missed the point of the original TT show. Doesn't matter though the general consensus on the internet is that it's a good show.

Yeah, there's two ways they'll handle it, one would be an episode where they were kids and went back in time which I think it's likely or just a one off episode that doesn't think about continuity. Most people don't know but there's actually a DC cartoon by this same company I believe or at least same type of figures that came out back in 2006 on DVDs for the toys, it's pretty obscure and the actual episode plays like a Superfriends episode, while it's for kids it's stupid fun and interesting. I think it might be like that as well. I don't think it'll be like Super Hero Squad or TTG.
