NEWS on the Classic TMNT DVD

*gobo* · 01-21-2004, 08:32 PM

In my most recent letter to the project supervisor for the TMNT project at Artisan, she had this to tell me:

"Thank you for your interest. We will be releasing the first five episodes on DVD and VHS. The DVD will also include 4 never-seen episodes. If you have any additional questions, please let me know."

No more fear of The Epic Begins for us faithful fans in America. ^_^ I'll probably ask for more clarification in a couple of weeks. Until then, rejoice about what has been disclosed.

Savanti Romero · 01-21-2004, 08:33 PM

I can't wait!

**Machias Banshee** · 01-21-2004, 08:37 PM

*blinks* Unseen Episodes? its not the Euro eps, you think?

Eidiot88 · 01-21-2004, 08:42 PM

I hope not because I've seen 'em. I am flipping over this, any news on when they will be out!?!?!?!?

Demonfox38 · 01-21-2004, 09:02 PM

And the lord declared that it was good!

I gotta buy me one of those.

**Jo Dawn** · 01-21-2004, 10:01 PM

Oh, yay! I can't wait to get that.

Templar · 01-22-2004, 01:36 AM

holy CRAP!

as much as the older cartoon seems inferior compared to the current one, and that i've become an old curmudgeon about kiddified TMNT... this is still very exciting news... especially to learn of un-aired episodes.

very slick... very slick indeed.

Ninja Tiptup · 01-22-2004, 02:47 AM

Well that settles that... I'll be picking this up on the DAY IT COMES OUT.

**Karpo_007** · 01-22-2004, 03:42 AM

Great news. The first season is very good even comapred to the toons of today, I'l have to get it on DVD. Not too excited about never-seen episodes because they are probably from seasons 3-4, I hope they are written by David Wise... Well extra is extra.

*Taloniss* · 01-22-2004, 07:52 AM

Yay

*Bry* · 01-22-2004, 08:08 AM

Awesome news. Looks like Artisan wants to do things right.

The original mini-series is terrific stuff, even to this day. The animation is superb, and the writing had a little edge (which was totally lost in the seasons following, unfortunately). I'm gonna be grabbing this as soon as it's out.

And the four bonus episodes are a nice extra.

It's a good time to be a TMNT fan.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-22-2004, 08:08 AM

About f'ing time. I've waited so long.

caspiantiger · 01-22-2004, 08:25 AM

I have all the episodes on Disk in AVI format, i want to make them into MPG files so they will work on my dvd player but i dont know how. also my disks have german subtitles. I am definetly getting this DVD and all the others they will come out with. Hears a hint, if they put every old toon episode on disks, it will be about 17 disks. anyone know a roundabout date for the release?!?!?!?!?!

Gremlin · 01-22-2004, 09:31 AM

Great... but, "the first five episodes" in five separate episodes or a crappy one hour long single-episode?

They have been talking about "first five" and "one hour, one ep" in the same sentence before you know, I'm just curious

*jeff the cheff* · 01-22-2004, 11:28 AM

5 episodes plus 4 extras on one dvd? Thats a lot of episodes for one disc. I wonder how much it will cost?

raphael90 · 01-22-2004, 01:42 PM

YES!!! This is going to be a must own for me! Great news! Woohoo!!!

My logic may be faulty, but if they say the first five eps, they must mean fulls ones because "The Epic Begins" only includes scenes from four and just a brief snippet from "A Thing About Rats"

Pointblank · 01-22-2004, 01:51 PM

Release date: April 2oth 2004!

Nice!

usotsuki · 01-22-2004, 02:01 PM

OMGOMGOMG, I *so* must have TMNT episodes... I don't care how I get them... DVD is of course best and I'd love to get them as they come out

but then... I'd be willing to settle for less if anyone has them

I am just that desperate

-uso.

Krangfan · 01-22-2004, 03:15 PM

OMG!

That's awesome! Finally, one of the best shows on TV is finally getting the DVD treatment!!!

I am VERY happy!

*cqb101* · 01-22-2004, 04:18 PM

Very good news. I can't wait.
