New TMNT Series - Peter Laird Interview, Part 1 

I love the mindset from the beginning which was to make it more action oriented and make it edgier. He had great intent with this series.

It’s favorite series about TMNT. I grew up on that. I really adore TMNT 2003.

This is badass, you can tell he loves this series

The difference between 1987 and 2003 is that 2003 TMNT actually USE their weapons intead of just silly gags and comedy material. I like the 1987 version but I love the 2003 version even more.

I grew up on the 1987 version, but 2003 is by far my favorite TMNT cartoon.

Still watching and rewatching this show. This is the best show about turtles ever! None of those that were before it or those that after it is doing turtles any justice, but this one does. I love turtles, i love splinter and ESPECIALLY the Shredder. He is what he should have been. I really fear this version of Shredder. In this show, he is a guy who you don't want to mess with, unlike that pussy from the old show. Even despite the fact that Shredder is Utrom in this show, i still love him. He is the best, and the actor who voiced him, which is Scott Rayow i believe? He deserved a award for that role.

loved this tmnt more than the older one God bless mr laird

Best adaptation of tmnt

That's absolutely right....in '87 cartoon which was radicaly different to the original tmnt and every other version. In the original comics, movies and the new cartoon Splinter was a pet of Hamato Yoshi and trained the turtles to avange his masters death.

This is the version of the Turtles I really grew up with! I was born in 94 so the 87 series a little before my time but I did watch a few eps my cousin had on vhs and I owned the 1990 movie so when this series came out, I was so glad it felt more like the movie!

The best tmnt version batter than old one and the new one's and btw who is watching in 2018

How the the Turtles should be! ;3 ROCK ON!

BEST SERIES EVER SEEN!

i love the old series too theyre part of MY childhood

Thank U very much Laird 4 starting my whole childhood

i loved the old series they are a part of my childhood

I really hate how almost every comment is comparison of 1987 and 2003 shows

I Still Love The 1987 Series Too And 2003 Is Much Good

Best tmnt series ever

best show ever

im 18 years old and i love the tmnt

In The 2003 Series They Had More Seriousness Like In The Comics

03>87>12>18

no bebop and rocksteady no dice...

It’s Defferent Bewteen The 80’s Cartoon And The 2003 The Characters That We’re The 80’s Cartoon Like Vernon Irma Rocksteady And Bebop Krang Are Not In This Version And Stockman Is Also Black Again Like In The Comics And He’s Not A Fly

@Dragzilla66 until you found out Shredder was a robot with an alien living in his stomach. but yeah, the early seasons were great. The "Flash Forward" stuff was just plain silly though. The future stuff, was to this show, what Dimension X was to the 80s show

In The 2003 Series The Human Characters Are Taller Than The TURTLES

@ skaboy that was from the '87 series- not 2k3. in the 2003 one (the one the video HERE is about) Splinter was a rat; always was-always will. he watched his owner, Hamato Yoshi, train in the art of ninjitsu, and mimicked his moves. Oroku Saki (shredder) got jealous cuz Yoshi loved his woman and killed him. Splinter went to NYC, found the turtles in the sewer (with the ooze still to follow), and he turned into a mutant rat- NOT from human to rat. Hope i shed some light on things for ya.

@ExplorerDS6789 Now that Nickelodeon owns TMNT it is going to be differnet. Don is going to have a different weapon unlike his bo staff. I think 4 kids did a better job then Nick is going to do.

@mikkilicious558 actually bigmigs94 is right, and saying to same thing just with bad English. He was only and utron in 2k3, not in the comic.

@RinUchiha101 Yea.look it up on Wiki.

Nice interview! But, hmmm... It kinda feels like the audio is out of sync?...

@lilrolo56 WAT DON ISNT GONNA HAVE HIS BO STAFF NOW!!! OH HELL NO!!!

April O'Neil was black in the original comics.

@Dragzilla66 for once..

where does he talk about venus

@blasci100 It's a figure of speech, dude. I don't want to him to die, I just want him to go away. But now that Nickelodeon owns TMNT, we'll hear very little from him on the subject from now on.

wow, you need to read your stuff better, your talking about the 80s cartoon NOT the original TMNT stuff..Splinter was NEVER was Yoshi!!! They did to make the story easy for the us kid to follow better...Shredder was never part with training with Yoshi.. The reason why orukusai wanted to kill Yoshi for revenge for killing someone in his family...And it starts from there.
