New info on the Artisan TMNT DVD's (box art!)

Check out the link in the news.

The box art is puffy turtle old skool. I wish they used Toei's design's from the first episode or just remade the original box art for the VHS "Heroes on a Half-Shell" but this is good none the less. It's pretty much guarenteed that the DVD will be under the Family Home Entertainment banner, just like the old VHS were.

It looks like the new disc will 10 bucks!

Given that... I don't think it's gonna be all five episodes of the first season. And because Artisan previously annouced that they would include 4 bonus episodes on the initial release, I suspect that they are putting out two discs. 1 will have episodes 1-3 and the two bonus episodes and the other will have episodes 4-5 or 4-6 (basically covering the first three VHS releases if they did this but the next episode isn't part of the first arc) and the other 2 bonus episodes. Then possibly they will make a collectors box with both discs (still in their other boxes) and make that 20 or so dollars. Either way I'm going to be buying anything they put out. April is far too far away...

You don't happen to have a picture of this box art, do you?

1) That cover art looks extremely disappointing.

2) Why does it say there will only be 2 unaired eps?

3) ONLY $9.47???????? CAN'T BEAT THAT!!!!

The DVD Empire website has the box art, but Toon Zone does not. That's why I would like it if someone posted the picture on the forums.

Blasted Internet filter . . .

The link says it includes 2 never before seen episodes, and the running time is 93 minutes.... So it can't be the full miniseries, or even epic begins... I really hope they didn't decide to split up the first season. As for the cover art, nothing special. they should have used the Toei desings.

[Reznorite420]

Hmmmm...I'll wait until Amazon lists it, and then I'll see about pre-ordering it.

Epic Begins was only about 72 minutes. And 5 episodes of around 20 minutes each is around 100, give or take a few minutes on each episode. The eps will probably be shown only with the actual episode material, not including the opening title (as in the opening theme) and ending credits. The opening title will probably only be used for the introduction to the DVD before the menu. At least that's what I think.

Augh! Blinding green turtles! I think the mother of those particular turtles must have been injesting neon green paint or maybe highlighter fluid when they were conceived.

That cover is... ugh. Not bad-looking, per se, but those cuddly-wuddly TMNT designs have always inspired some cynical, grumpy expressions from yours truly. Something more in tune with the style of the original miniseries would suit this package better, if y'ask me.

But I suppose what's actually on the discs is what's important.

[Deathknight]

93 minutes? That can't be right. At least the box art is original instead of them re-using one of the old vhs covers. I doubt the runtime is correct, until Artisan posts a full one I don't believe it because before official info by the company is posted the runtime is not correct. I've ran into this before with certain things.

Ditto. Frustrating, is it not?

Yes I know all that. Thats why I said it can't be the full miniseries or the "Epic begins" if it has 2 unaired episodes as extra. This of course assuming the 93 minutes is correct info.

thanks, a bit small though.

glad i've got those episodes recorded somewhere, but in bad quality.

Who, invented ''the epic begins'' thing, boy was that person stupid

[raphael90]

Ugh yes, hate to say it but that cover is not good...too kiddish. I wish they'd done it better...oh well, my biggest excitement over all this is the unaired eps...I still will buy these sets or whatever when they come out.

Did I miss something here? From what I've seen pretty much everyone is disapointed with that cover.

[One Radical Dude]

The box art isn't that bad. It's nothing spectacular, either. I'm surprised with the 93 minute length, though. It can't be the entire first season...nor the 'Epic Begins'. We'll just have to wait and see. The price is nice, though.
