I'm sure it'll have real fight scenes, but:

The clip included some anime influences and the use of emoticons. "We're taking the franchise and nickefying it," said Rich Magallanes, senior vp, Nickelodeon Animation, current series. " It is CG-meets-anime. We wanted a comic book feel and continue the mix of comedy and action. Overall, we went for a fresh vibe and look, while not getting rid of core elements and characters."

From here.

Yeah, the only reason why I say this is the parts where the Foot go flying have these swirly-anime images in the background and seem like still scenes.

I wouldn't be able to enjoy the show if the fight scenes are kiddie or lame like that.

Look at this image:

Anyone worried the fight scenes will be static images like this with the Foot flying in the background? I see no contact here.

*Oculus Orbus* · 02-14-2012, 05:45 PM

Yeah, I know what you mean, that worries me too. But I'd assume (or wish) that it'll be something they do on the backgrounds, and play it with some sort of montage to "add more dynamism" to the scenes. There's contact in the other image, with Don kicking a Foot.

I dunno, it seems like there's going to be those swirling backgrounds like you see in some anime with Foot flying in the air.

I hope we get a video of this fight scene soon.

The first season of the 4Kids cartoon cop-ed out royally and habitually when it came to anime-inspired "splash" scenes during fights. Sometimes they even reused the same animation. But the fight coordination got better over time.

So I wouldn't worry about the occasional flurry of background special FX in the Nick Toon.

It's not like Nick is gonna have Leonardo katana slice into human foot soldiers with extreme prejudice anyway.

*Slap-Happy* · 02-14-2012, 05:59 PM

There's motion blur in both of those shot (a lot less noticeable with Leo)

Even if the backgrounds are swirling, the turtles at least will still have movement.

EDIT: Looking at Leo again and now I'm not so sure. Either way it doesn't matter to me. I'm pretty sure I'll still enjoy it.

*Kendamu* · 02-14-2012, 06:02 PM

That type of fight scene was used pretty liberally in The Brave and the Bold. I still loved that show.

*Powder* · 02-14-2012, 06:20 PM

The turtles look so expressive, I love it. Shredder & the Foot are badass.

Man, I can't freakin' wait to see actual footage from the show! I just love everything I'm seeing. The textures, the colors. Shredder looks pretty scary too!

But for Turtles I prefer actually action in the fight scenes, not swirling/floating baddies.

God I really hope Nick doesn't "kiddie up" the fight scenes.

It's a kid's show. The violence will be kiddied up to a certain degree.

very cool pix! does this mean we can start a "Official Nick Toon Screencaps" thread now?

So was the 4kids series and the fight scenes were excellent.

True, but I think Laird having a hand in that series had a lot to do with the final product.

And they were still kiddied up to a certain degree. Every kid's action show finds a way of doing it. Even 4Kids wasn't completely free of "swirly background splash shots."

I know the Turtles aren't going to use their blades on human Foot Soldiers.

I still want to see actually contact, like kicks and punches. Even the original cartoon did this.

I'm not really familiar with what ''action'' shows are on Nick but I have a feeling Tmnt won't stray too far from what is being done right now. But you never know.

Kung Fu Panda is the closest thing I can think of, given its CG and has action scenes.
