For a deeper look into the the TMNT Anime, after this video go check out this other one where I really dive in to that version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tq4E3NPckJg.html
If Disney got a hold of TMNT it would be as bad as star wars. Without Eastman, and Jon Favreau writing the scripts or have 100% creative control, it will be a dumpster fire
The most of this i dont know.Here in germany the TMNT was massive too,but we havent seen stuff like x-mas turtles or something like that from a few i knewed that is exist,but have never seen like the Anime turtles. Do you have a link for the short Films?
The concept itself and the time period .. I mean it really doesn't seem that weird now but think about it... Teenage mutant ninja Turtles. None of these words belong together. It's very weird stuff, and corporations know kids will make their parents buy anything if it has their favorite characters on it.
I went to that concert in New Zealand, my friend Sam's parents bought me a ticket...to an 11 year old major turtle fan, it was an amazing experience...the turtles made references to things in my hometown and it blew my mind 😅
The Turtles are Ninjas, Ninja comes from Japan. The whole franchice since it's inception has been steeped in Japanese lore. The brand has always made constant references to Japanese culture. Over in Japan however... They see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and go "Hey you know what would make this show good, Power Rangers and Mechs!''
When it comes to the summer shorts the mecha turtles was my favorite because it's such a unique and out-there concept, especially with Mikey being their master. With how many variations of the turtles are out there, some having crossed over before, and the multiverse being a big trend right now, I hope we get a new TMNT crossover event at some point.
Wow. I remember that music tour. They came to my hometown and I begged my parents to go. I got a cassette tape instead but listened to it over and over. Great memory, thanks.
at least you had the chance. I lived in rural s.c. and my family rarely ecen took me to town. think little house on the prairie lol. I mean we lived in a brick house wkth heat and windo ac. but we were in the middle of nowhere and town was only maybe a 15min ride. comunbia the capital was maybe 30min and I barely saw thr town that was 15min away.
9:59-10:27 ...Wow. Looks pretty sick. I totally agree that a darker & more adult animated version of TMNT would be incredible; not necessarily as dark as the comic books, but maybe closer to the tone of Batman: The Animated Series for example...
Our Friend Power 5 is probably the craziest. It's a South Korean movie where Ninja Turtles from space battle a race of Splinters from space, and the costumes are all based on the Playmates toys. It's like an acid trip. But less fun.
Holy shit... 25 years later and I finally find out what/where the Guardian Beast Turtle figures I had as a kid are from. Had no idea those two anime specials even existed, lol
Another great really odd and gritty version is the 4 parts comic Bodycount, by Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley, full of violence and gore, and one (not for children) that I really love.
Some of them not all of them are the most bizarre and stupid things I've ever seen out of the TMNT franchise and I don't know why they even exist at all
You could only get the Coming out of their Shells soundtrack for a limited time at Pizza Hut and it was only on cassette. Loved a lot of the songs on there as a kid!
The anime turtles are pretty funny, reminded me of Ronin Warriors. The turtles singing around the Christmas tree, had me almost spitting a large sip of water out. Leo sounds weird as f lols.
Holy crap, I remember that Blue Line movie. I grew up in LA in the 80's and 90's, I had that VHS and remember watching it. Damn, that was a completely forgotten memory lol.
I knew the Christmas special was on this list before even starting this video. I remember watching it when I was a kid. Even as a kid I couldn't stop laughing at it.
The character Gridlock sounds more like a Captain Planet villain. Than a tmnt villain. I also remember those tmnt shorts. They were awesome. I remember seeing one short where Bebop and Rocksteady were spoofing Bevis And Butthead
I remember pestering my parents to go to pizza hut so I could get that cassette tape of their tour. They finally did, and I listened to it endlessly for a long time.
Thank you. I've been looking for the Green Grey Spongesuit Sushi Turtles since my childhood. I tried looking for it again, but couldn't remember the name.
So, according to that Mystery of the Cliffs thing, Splinter (Who was possibly a Japanese Man. Don't know if they followed cartoon or movie canon.) had a ancestor who lived in the Arizona desert in the 1500's? Before the United States was founded, when the region was under control by the Spanish???
I remember the Christmas special I even got the power ranger special but anyway I like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Christmas special even have it on VHS in the still walks got to love Jamieway back in the day I even rock and roll Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but that's all the ones that I remembered I think it's pretty cool to go back of all the ones that I missed I didn't know about
I have the first one and the toys from the super mutants one, but mine didn't transform, they were just the post transformed versions. Never knew where the toys were from.
There's a short-mini- RU-vid show,that was live action. The trailer had ralpheal beating up this group of foot soldiers,who were beating up April. Always wondered what happened to that
We used to drive to Paterson NJ on the weekends to visit my mom's friend Armando, his kids had the turtles on tour concert VHS, and we used to watch the shit out of it, years later before the days of RU-vid I thought of it as some sort of fever dream, lol!
I knew about alot of these, but a few I had no idea about... Wow. Why do you promote public transportation to children? Are there alot of 6-year-olds riding the bus around town on their way to work?
I thought that you were going to mention the Argentinean 90s porn parody they made about the Turtles, "Las Tortugas Pinja" or loosely translated "The Dickinja Turtles"
In the anime turtles the designs for the superhero/sentai are just plain ugly, and while I find the beast armor designs they ripped off from Saint Seiya interesting, they've nothing to do with being ninja turtles and you can't even tell their personalities apart.
I would of liked to see the Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles Summer short turned into an animated series, it would basically be like the Batman: Beyond of the brand. It’s so similar as well with it being set decades later in the future and there being a new band of heroes with one of the original members being a mentor, it would’ve been cool to see Mikey as a sensei and the backstory to what had happened to the other three turtles and Splinter (they all probably have died of old age or sacrificed themselves against one of their enemies?). Hope at some point it gets brought up again so that we could have another experience with that universe, that short might of sparked that idea for Raph being the leader in Rise with the red one in the short having that role?
is it just me or does the turtle in the pickle commercial look a lot like the ones from the CGI reboot? (also not going lie I want to see that gherkin maybe)
I remember seeing a poster for the tmnt where they have pointy fingers, muscular body and a bandanna that cover their whole heads, can some one help me where to find it?
