The CONFIRMED New Season

[Splinter's Iroonna]

New season has been agreed upon by all three powers-that-be!

"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back in New York, ready to race across the rooftops and take on all challengers!

"Not only are Casey and April back and ready to bust some bad guy butt, but a brand new, super advanced Turtle Lair is under construction (thanks to some hi-tech know-how Donatello garnered from the future), and, of course, there are all sorts of new heavy duty Turtle vehicles gearing up to roar down the streets of NYC and give the Foot a taste of some serious Turtle firepower!

"The stakes have never been higher, their enemies have never been stronger... and if the Turtles are going to be triumphant they’ll need to work together in ways they never have before."

That's the pitch, and Mirage, 4Kids, and Playmates have all agreed.

The part that concerns me is the description of the new "style" of the animation.....

*sighs*

[Raph's Girl]

Well with all the new gadgets we have new toys. I wonder what the new lair will look like??

I also wonder if Don will be using those round vehicle things he rides on in the opening sequence of Fast Forward. Mostly wondering since those are REAL vehicles. I've seen em on the news alot lately for the cars of the future shows.

[Spawn Guy]

Because Don invented them!

I'm not happy about this either. Not at all.

Could a Mod make Splinter's Iroonna post be made into a new thread?

Now that its confirmed we don't need this huge thread of speculation.

[ZariusTwo]

So I can expect Karai piloting a helicopter that turns into a jet?

At the request of sdp

So um what are the other elements from overload...the wacky crazy Internet guy.
Their enemies? Who have we got left like Hun, Savanti, Rat King, & touch & Go?
I really hope they remember things from FF having the turtles get used to the past again would make for good story telling.
I still say "Ultimate TMNT" is so much better of an idea why couldn't they take ideas from that and implement them into 2k3 and FF's story. *sigh*

[Cure]

Sounds OK to me. Let's see where they roll with it.

[ZariusTwo]

They dont have to "get used to the past" considering it's old ground and they probably returned seconds after they left

[Scandia]

The description sounds good. They are changing lairs a bit too often- but who knows exactly what "new lair" means. It may be just Donatello adding new goodies to the Central Park lair.

The picture in the entry freaked me out at first. I do not want a CG TMNT series. Usually CG stuff ends up being all style and no substance.

Anyhow, these news totally made my day. Long live TMNT!

[Drtooth]

This sounds very good. A perfect medium between what we want to see with the show, and what will keep the toy companies and 4Kids happy. I don't like hearing the art will be "stylized"- or triangular blockized like FF, but if it means we get the show to continue, I'm just happy with what it sounds so far. hopefully no "baby" turtles in a non-flashback episode. And I'm sure they'll find some use for FF in there as well. As long as we get some sort of closing.

[Scandia]

Streamlined does not necessarily mean totally angular like FF. It may be rounded like the first 5 seasons of 2k3, but with not as many details. Perhaps not as much attention to background and clothing- but the organic characters still look organic.

[CyberCubed]

The only thing that worries me is the animation. It sounds like they have an even lower budget here than with FF...what the hell are the TMNT going to look like?

[Splinter's Iroonna]

Murphy posted a response in his blog that the gadgets and vehicles were aimed at Playmates more or less-- you know, more toys to make/sell.

I'm looking forward to this, no question, but I'd sure like to see some of the plans for artwork. And if they're fighting the Foot, perhaps someone has taken over from Karai? Or a WAR perhaps?

Anyway, tis good to know that things are finally moving forward, though not so fast....

[odupianist]

There's a lot they can do with the station in Central Park. I worry about the animation too. I'm afraid though with the "new cars and vehicles" that this will be like Power Rangers Turbo lol. Maybe all the cars will morph into a zord!

[Splinter's Iroonna]

OMG! Or like that Japanese version of the Turtles...

As I posted earlier, I hope they don't look like this:

Unless they do some sort of memory sweep I'm sure at least Michaelangelo will have issues with not having a lazy cushie rich life anymore.
