Info about the north european TMNT DVD releases

[Gremlin]

I know these things have been out for a kinda long time but I can't recall seeing any info on them from before. And I guess someone might be interested in what's on theese discs. And I figured that the interest of them might be higher now since the real thing is released soon.

To clear things up, this is the seven DVDs of the old TMNT toon released only in northern Europe (except Iceland). There is no original english voices on them, just the “native ones”. The voice acting really sucks (atleast the swedish one, but I can't imagine the other ones good either)since they seems to have thought that less is more, meaning that they used about 3-4 voice actors for the whole show, cheaper but not good in any quality perspective.

And by the way, our vhs releases from back when TMNT were on TV is the exact same as theese things.

Tech spec (same for all the discs):
Orginal title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Category: Animated
Picture: 4:3 full format
Sound: Dolby Digital Mono (swedish, danish, finnish, norwegian)
DVD region: 2

And here's a pic of the langage Selection


And now to the discs. I've written down the original title, the swedish “translation” and another english translation from the swedish title so that you can see how stupid they translated some of the episode-names.

Disc one

Runtime: 67 min

The epic begins - så började det hela – How it all began

That's about it. All discs has different colored backgrounds with the logo and the for turtles' heads on it, I don't want to scan them but I think you get the picture anyway.

If there's some half-crazy collector who just need to have theese DVDs, PM me and I'll guide you through some swedish site that has them and handles international orders

(and yes, I can make a dvd-rip of the intro, just need to get my new computer before I can do that)

There's the funny part. The original VHS-releases, wich is exactly the same as the DVDs here had the edited "hero turtles" intro but on the DVD, there is the original Ninja turtles intro.

Very strange but that's the fact
