How would you feel about a crossover with the 2003 Toon?

Mugic · 07-16-2015, 07:35 AM

Since we know a crossover between the Nick turtles and FW turtles is coming, do you think the producers of the show should go full circle and do an eventual crossover with the 2k3 series or should it be left alone? I know most fans here of the Nick show dislike the 2003 show with a passion but i wanted to know how they'll feel about the idea of the Nick turtles meeting the 2003 turtles as well.

Yes. Ane, if done correctly, the OT Turtles. I doubt they would call it Turtles Forever 2, so Turtles In Time could work as well.

Honestly I'm too used to 2k3 getting the blind eye from Nick that they'd do anything special with the property, especially if they already don't put in good effort for proper DVD release. I can understand they don't want to detract attention from their own series by giving it competition, but c'mon.

There's also the matter of them getting the, if not most, of the voice cast.

Yeah isn't there some sort of union-related issue that would prevent them from being able to hire to 2003 cast? Like with Turtles Forever not being able to hire the OT cast?

DarkLightDragon · 07-16-2015, 09:21 AM

I dunno. I wouldn't know anything about stuff like that.

Hate to be a cynic about this, but I've long accepted 2012 is what they want to focus on from here on out and just treat everything before it with a "Yeah, that was a thing. Let it air on occasion, but not too often."

*ssjup81* · 07-16-2015, 09:45 AM

Hm, if they did a crossover with the 2k3 turtles, we won't get Rob talking to himself.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 07-16-2015, 10:13 AM

No.

*victory_angel* · 07-16-2015, 11:30 AM

It is possible to get a 2k3 cross over. But the Nick Turtles are going to need to have a reason to meet their 2k3 counter parts rather then just randomly showing them.

For example the Nick Turtles meeting the OT Turtles could have been left to that one dimension the Nick Turtles looked in to and said "Hey, that's us..."

And then the Kraathatrogon and by subsequent Tiger Claw are things that are tying the OT world and the Nick World together. And Nick Show could have a reference to Turtles forever by having one of the Turtles say offhandedly that they had encountered other versions of themselves before.

If they did encounter the 2k3 Turtles, one of the things I can see happening is Donnie looking over Donny's lab and saying "Wow, this is the lab I've always dreamed about!"

Raph: (turns to 2k3 Raph) If I ever start having dreams about Laboratories, hurt me.

*Cure* · 07-16-2015, 11:34 AM

I wouldn't be into it.

*CyberCubed* · 07-16-2015, 01:11 PM

Due to Union issues they won't be able to get the same voice actors for the 2k3 Turtles, so I'd rather not. Its the same reason they couldn't use the original voices for Turtles Forever because it was done under 4kids.

Can you imagine sound-a-likes for the 2k3 Turtles?

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 07-16-2015, 01:51 PM

You guys are forgetting that 4Kids is no longer around. And Mike Sinterniklaas and Sam Riegel voiced in a lot of cartoons outside 4Kids.

Yeah I've seen Mike Sinterniklaas with Funimation Dubs such as Summer Wars.

*neatoman* · 07-16-2015, 02:07 PM

Also, wasn't the main reason 4Kids couldn't afford or didn't want to pay what the union actors ask for? If money was the problem for Turtles Forever, then I don't think there's much problem here.

I thought it was a contract issue - that because 4Kids wasn't unionized, they couldn't do the work. I could be completely wrong though.

True. I would like to see a crossover with the 2k3 TMNT ( they having their design from the 1-5 seasons)

*Powder* · 07-16-2015, 05:11 PM

I like the 4kids series but I don't see the point. The OT is, like it or not, a globally recognized property whose fans are of all ages. It gets connected to the new stuff because virtually every turtle fan likes it, & even casual fans who wouldn't wanna watch the Nick series are likely to tune in so as to revisit their childhood. The 4kids series does not have that kind of fandom or draw, it wouldn't be something widely publicized nor would it help much to boost ratings. It would be a high cost for the sake of appealing to a very small demographic with little to no payoff.

Would I watch it? In a heartbeat. Would I love it? Absolutely. But it isn't gonna happen, & that's fine with me, because I'm realistic.

*IndigoErth* · 07-16-2015, 05:36 PM

I'd have no problem with that, I like all three series on their own merits.

Though given the difference in tone and character maturity, I do feel like it would mesh a little better with them if we were able to pretend the 2003 guys at this point are also older (but still otherwise keeping them the same as their series), so not only a different universe but also maybe a decade or so forward in time as well.

*sdp* · 07-16-2015, 05:43 PM

There's an actual OT and Nick show crossover coming? Or another cameo? Last time it was billed as a crossover as well. Would it be both art styles mixed or the Nick turtles being drawn in 2D.

Edit:Of course I'd love a 2k3 crossover if it were to happen. I'd even take a cameo.

For the most part I liked The 2003 Turtles, I just didn't like Turtles forever. I'll admit my 80's turtles are corny, but 4kids just took it to far and made them beyond stupid.
Anyway, After the 80's crossover I am cool with a 2003 crossover as well!

SixthTurtle · 07-17-2015, 07:23 PM

I'd watch it, I guess.

But the way the 2003 turtles reacted to them was hilarious.
