Turtles Forever coming to DVD <3 <3 - Page 5

*CyberCubed* · 06-08-2010, 09:35 PM

In the case that this is only the 70 minute edited version, I get the feeling the uncut and widescreen version will be a Blu-ray release.

Makes sense to me. Release a "kiddie" DVD version, but release the big uncut and widescreen one on Blu-ray for more money.

**Venom** · 06-08-2010, 10:39 PM

That would suck! I always buy the "collector's/special" editions of standard DVDs when possible.

Anyway, from what I've read it is the 70 minute version being released. Glad it's coming, but again, I would really prefer to own the full version.

That would be stupid; not everyone has Blu-ray yet. Some of us don't even have HDTVs, let alone Blu-ray. And Turtles Forever, however awesome it may be for us, is not worthy of forcing people to buy the Blu-ray for exclusive features.

What other reason would it make sense to released the 70 minute version then? The only reason that version existed was so it could air on TV with commercials.

As someone else I believe said, simply because they're ignorant.

*Spitfire* · 06-09-2010, 03:28 AM

They should just only release a Bluray version that has the DVD included, like say most movies do nowadays. Might as well help the slow people usher in the new era of tech. That way they don't have to re-buy movies when they do upgrade.

I'm not the type to be too picky but damn.

that cover...they could have done better than that. Like it was said countless times already, they could have used the movie poster.

Other than that, I guess this is good news for those that wanted to get this on dvd.

However, I'll pass on this and see if this comes out on Blu-ray. (Assuming if it does happen. If it doesn't come out on Blu-ray, then no big deal since I already have the uncut version on my ps3)

I want a blu ray edition as well. Also i will only pick up the 2K3 season sets if they come out on blu ray since i recently spent a fortune collecting the Aussie versions.

Also I believe they did a alternative cover for this because the uncut dvd/blu ray will have the other cover 4Kids made.

Well, how not? They were the originally released versions that the US just didn't get to start with. It's not like we're talking film festival or other 'private party'. I completely agree though that it's pretentious to call the extended cut a 'director's cut', but it's still kinda petty an argument when the company who created it gave it that title. I'm just saying there's no sense getting all bent about it.

Exactly what I'm thinking. This is probably just bait to see who even cares. If the ideal situation of this being replaced with the 'Uncut Cut' at the last minute doesn't happen, I'll just rent this one to examine its quality (or potential lack thereof).

And why would an image have 5 lens flares? I don't think I could look at this on my dvd shelf without vomiting.

This is a case where we should just be lucky we're getting it.

I am not going to complain about lack of widescreen and some missing minutes.

I am just glad to see Nick stepping up and releasing it.

Now I hope they either re-release seasons 1-7 on DVD, or finish releasing what Funimation didn't (ie season 3-4-7).

Either way, I am glad to see Nick not just brushing 2k3 under the rug.

Have you actually seen the full version? That 8 minutes adds more than you'd think.

Voidoid · 06-09-2010, 01:44 PM

Meh, despite all of these little complaints I'm stoked that they're even doing this. I thought this movie would never even be released so I'm thankful for this much. I'm definitely gonna pre-order this right away!

*BubblyShell22* · 06-09-2010, 02:40 PM

I'd love to see the full version come out, too, but I'll get it no matter what because at least it's coming out. Still, it would suck if it was the TV version.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-09-2010, 02:58 PM

I'm still surprised there's actually people doubting this would ever be released on DVD/Blu-Ray. I mean, they virtually have to in order to recoup their investment in the production of this... but any way they cut it they'd be stupid not to release it on DVD.

And no, I don't think there will be multiple versions of the film released or re-released down the line. I just don't see that happening.

No one ever said it wouldn't be stupid lol. We were just fearing the worst, I mean... even before the buyout it was unknown wether it would be on DVD or not.

The only possibility that would lead to Viacom possibly not seeing to the releasing of "Turtles Forever" on DVD would have to be them not realizing that they were sitting on it at all... which would not only be stupid, but just plain unthinkable.

True, but there's cause for concern when a "direct" to DVD flick takes over a year to actually reach DVD.

Its not over a year. Turtles Forever aired back in November 2009, didn't it?

Its released on DVD around 7-8 months later.

Whose investment in what? 4Kids/Mirage won't get anything from the DVD sale of this. 4Kids recouped their investment when they got 10mil. for the TMNT sale to Nick. Nick's investment in TMNT will start paying off in two years; Turtles Forever DVD sales will just be pocket change to them.

Right, but wrong.

It aired originally at SDCC which was just about a year ago.
