NINJA TURTLES "Trans-Dimensional Turtles" REVIEW 

80s: we're so cute and adorable 2003: when we get you will do more than just kill you 2012-present: we are cute and menacing at the same time

RIP Jame Avery the one true Shredder

I still think a 2003 and current turtle team up to take on the triceretons would be amazing honestly.

Turtles Forever was basically a crossover between the 2003 TMNT and a parody of the 1987 TMNT. This episode is the legit crossover involving the 80's turtles since it has the original voice actors.

Woulda been cool to see the current turtles meet the 2003 turtles as well.

I had a *shell of a time* watching this episode

You're right about Turtle Forever. I'm a 2003 Turtles fan ( as you can guess) but I thought the 80's Turtles were presented like idiots. I'm glad that in this episode they did them justice.

Why couldn't the 1987 turtles talk about that they met the 2003 turtles and make a flash back of it or something? I think that would've made the episode more great!

Duude I'VE been waiting for you to upload this :D!!! Also did anyone else notice the Size difference? and the 1987 turtles were Slightly bigger than the 2012 turtles Now this made me start thinking of Turtles forever where the 2003 Ninja turtles were Taller than the 1987 ones And while they pretty much made it clear Turtles Forever didnt happen it got me thinking if they had a True turtles forever 2 crossover would the 2003 Ninja Turtles be 2014 Sized As a matter of fact?? HOW TALL would April be? She was slightly taller than them in the 1987 series and in the 2003 series....and in 2012 shes about the same Huh I guess she’s an Amazon in some incarnations

That's what I loved about the episode, it had the basic idea of Turtles Forever but treated the original turtles with far more respect. The whole time I saw TF i felt like they were just constantly slapping them and me in the face over and over for how idiotic they were (exaggerated). They get their jokes, their puns, their middle-finger to logic but seeing them fight and handle themselves was amazing and It put a big old smile on my face. A wonderful episode

If only '80s April gave 2012 Donnie a smooch.

3:33 OMG! I totally agree! Best TMNT moment in TMNT history ever!!! I love that because not only is Rob Paulsen my favorite voice actor ever!!! But we literally got a voice actor joke! A rare thing in cartoons and it was totally funny and a great reference overall! 2 turtles for the price of 1 voice everyone!!! #Paulsenception

This was a much shorter, more focused and SUPERIOR version of Turtles Forever. And unlike that one it didn't anger the hell out of me. The turtles were funny but competent. That is ALL I asked for out of this. And I got that plus much more. It was so much fun getting up early (early for a 3rd shift worker anyways) and eat breakfast while watching a new episode of TMNT with MY Turtles in it. Haven't been able to do that for nearly 20 years and DAMN did it feel good. It was worth the wait. Though I wish it'd be a bit longer like an hour long special or something like that. BUT I'm not upset, I'll take what I got and I'm all the happier for it existing. Honestly made me feel like I was 5 again.

They didn't make the 87' turtles look like idiots. Great episode!

Andre, this is.......Andre. XD I have to say: Great review, also they referenced the Ninja Turtles 3 film when Krang Subprime kicked Krang back to his 2d dimension. I couldn't believe it when it happened!!! XD

Dang Andre, back at it again with the Amazing Reviews!

I had a tear jerker moment when I was wondering why no Shredder but then I remember that Uncle Phil has passed.

As a kid born in the late 90s I still went back and watched all the older turtle shows and this episode had me fangirling like anyone who grew up with them 😂

This episode was so much fun! Definitely had me feeling like a kid again.

I love this episode and I watched it with my mom since she grew up with the 80's turtles and watching this she told me "watching the 80's turtles again brings back childhood memories" I'm happy I made my mom happy and great review Andre good job

Why didn't nick reference the turtles forever? I mean, The original turtles should have been "friends" or something?

Gilbert Godfrey's kraang calls old krang a dingleberry......my sides still hurt

im 32 yrs old and i ran downstairs when this episode came on, and after all the years watching the turtles as a kid i still sat on the floor to watch this episode, i loved it so much i was so giddy and my cousin-in-law was in the room and said "i dont think ive ever seen you this excited before..." XD it was such a great feeling to see and hear the 80's turtles agian

I watched this TMNT episode yesterday, it was super awesome, I am so happy to see the cast of the 80s TMNT tv series back especially Townsend Coleman, the voice of Michelangelo, this one is better compared to the Turtles Forever movie in 2003. Great review, Andre! Cheers from Portugal and you just have won another subscriber.

Good episode but the the 87 Donatello should have remembered the mirage comics version of the Turtles

Only someone with a cracked shell would not have enjoyed this episode. 100% on my score board. 80's Kraang is king! That voice is amazing.

It was by far my most favorite episode to watch of the series. I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. the references are on point just like you said. I wasn't sure if they were going to bust through all the turtles dimensions but when they did I was extremely excited

This is what Turtles Forever should have been.

Andre, do u think they'll ever do something with the 2003 Turtles cuz everyone seems to forget that show happened(even though it's my favorite version)

R.I.P Uncle Phil

Dang, were it not for you Andre I never would have known this episode existed. Thanks man. I just watched it, and it was great. I didn't want it to end. I loved that they got the original voice actors to come back, and I really liked the little wink to the fans when new Donnie and old Raph were talking about each others voices sound weird. As a huge fan of the 80's turtles growing up I loved this. My son and I argued throughout the entire episode about who's turtles are the best. Well, needless to say, I'm right, he's wrong, 80's turtles all the way. I've never been crazy about the Nick turtles, but they have started to grow on me through repeated exposure, and thanks to this episode I've come to like them a lot more. When new Leo called out "Turtle Power!" it felt like things had officially come full circle, at least for me. By paying homage to the 80's turtles, the Nick show has finally earned my respect. I may not love it, but then again I'm not a kid anymore either so that probably has something to do with it.

I've honestly never watched the 1980's turtles but, being a huge fan of the 2012 series, I fangirled so much!!! This episode made me laugh and smile and at times brought on the feels (MISS YOU SPLINTER!! Hope to see you soon!!) and I couldn't think of a better way to bring the old and new turtles together. Great job Nickelodeon!!!

OH THE REFERENCES!!!!

THANK YOU!!!! That was my BIGGEST grievance with Turtles Forever. It was one thing to make them goofy, but it was another, as you said, to make them incompetent. They poked fun at them, but they did it respectfully--like when Mikey used his grappling like he did when they neutered him in the last seasons of the 1980s turtles. So yeah, I enjoyed this one SOOOO much more. Good review! ^_^

This was a birthday gift as well Easter gift for me. I was waiting for an ambiguous blooper with two Leonardo's or a voice coming from the wrong turtle. I'm sure if the story had called for something weird like that they'd had made that reference. I know licensing rights couldn't be gotten but I kinda thought the 03 turtles was going to be the third dimension....but the mirage turtle part made me really laugh and i so got the feels. You could just feel the love and I couldn't stop tearing up.

Rob Paulsen was Raph and Donnie. All that’s left in Mickey and Leo.

Best. Episode. Ever! I've been meaning to get into the 80's series for a while now, but this episode has really boosted that urge! Gotta watch it now! Booyakabunga!

This episode was absolutely incredible! It was hilarious, it gave ya the feels, and it had some great action and references. Plus, you can never have too much Rob Paulsen! :) #Cowabunga #Booyakasha

Andre, it was cool seeing in action at the Wonder Con. You and the actors keep the panel exciting even with the technical problems. I will definitely go to any panel your hosting at a con.

I freaking loved this episode! I couldn't help but laugh out loud and smile when Raph threw the Pizza, then said "give me a break" He's my fav character and I always sing that part.

If they ever do something like this again they should put in the 80's shredder. However, since James Avery is dead (R.I.P), they should have Jim Cummings voice him, since he voiced Shredder when James Avery wasn't available.

Too bad Current Cassie didn't meet Psycho 80s Cassie. XD

I know they were just kidding around in your BTS video but it would have been great if Donnie did get a catch phrase and it was "Smooth Donatello" while he was doing a slow mo jump kick or something lmao. Raph vs Raphael was great. Them pointing out the lack of fighting with weapons had me dying. And 80s krang being the outcast of the others...brilliant! I have to say, I've never watched the show before this episode but I feel like I know the whole plot thanks to you. It's now on my "To watch" list now that I've seen the show for myself.

All I could think about during this was Mikey (either one, I guess?) going between 2d and 3d world saying "I'm flat! I'm bulgy! I'm flat!" like in the Jimmy Timmy special.

Now I hope for an episode where they meet the 03 Turtles Please I would love this.

Now...about that 2003/Nick Turtle Crossover?

Your behind the scenes of Trans Dimensionall Turtles got me excited to see through episode. I watched it AND IT WAS SOOOOOOO EXCELLENTLY DONE!!!!!! I smiled the entire episode. The references and nostalgia was so great! It brought me back to my childhood. I SIMPLY LOVED IT!!! This has gained my subscription! WAY TO GO

My fav. nostalgia moments:The 3 1/2 inch floppy disk Krang put in his arm, Leo's swords breaking and then magically reappearing on his back. I think the voices came out of the wrong mouths on the rooftop scene LOL, Raph making the comment on how the 2-D world was all flatthe comment, Raph made about not walking around and being seen. AWESOME nostalgic episode! '87 turtle power!!!!!

I yelled, I cried and laugh during the episode I just love it

I like how they are linked together like at the end tiger claw fights the 80's turtles and when tiger claw returns he flashbacks the 80's when he badly injured them!!

Loved this episode! I really enjoyed the winks and references, and hearing the original voice cast again was awesome! Like you mentioned Andre, it's sad that James Avery is gone and couldn't be a part of this. But hey, we can always watch reruns and hear him as Shredder. Turtle Power!

I got to watch this episode with my nieces today. It was so cool. They're more familiar with the Nickelodeon Turtles, I grew up watching the 80s Turtles on VHS and re-run episodes, so it was a great cross-generational thing going on seeing this episode. :D

Any love for a 2K3 turtles meet-up?

I loved the mirage turtles part, they looked so intimidating and cool

Would it be better if the 1987 Turtles insulted Kraang Subprime's suit by calling it a sellout?

it is nice to see you so happy about this Andre. not to critical about the little things and just enjoying it

I grew up watching the 2003 turtle series can we get a crossover with them and 2012?

It's basically Turtles Forever, if Turtles Forever had actually shown respect to the 1987 show instead of shitting all over it.

Apparently, Rob accidentally tweeted out a "Recording today" list from last Monday. It lists Barry and Cam as '87 Bebop and Rocksteady (as well as their, Rob, and Townsend's Turtles) and Kevin Michael Richardson as the ORIGINAL Shredder. So yeah, we're getting a **second** crossover episode, maybe to make up for the regular length of this episode. I get the feeling that if this season was 22-26 episodes, this could've been an hourlong episode. But at only 20, we got this single. I really had a lot of fun with this episode

This episode finally aired on Nick here in the UK and it was frickin' amazing! Loved hearing Rob Paulsen talk to himself!! Brilliant homage to the past nicely done in the present! #turtlepower

The comic book turtles didn't say or do much of anything.

Not gonna lie subbed cause of JaxBlade's video telling me to watch this. ANd I can see why :) Consider yourself earning a new subscriber :D

I guess no one noticed at the end when there was a slight error during the credits when the 80s Donatello said "it's good to be back home".. But it wasn't Barry Gordon's voice, it was Rob Paulson's lol

They could always use Jim Cummings to play shredder.. He has voiced him in several episodes in the 80s and it would be respectful. Oh, and shout out to Sean Astin.. His mom passed away today.. Sad

I loved this episode BUT I wish someday they do crossovers with the 2003 Turtles because while this is nostalgic for you, it's not for someone who was born in 1999 and I'd do anything to see a 2003 Turtles crossover! :D Who agrees?! :D Am I the only 16 year old here?! X'D

Bro can we get a spoiler review of Yawn of Justice please?

I just saw it.This was the best episode ever! This show just keeps getting better. I absolutely love how they've made the various TMNT versions into alternate realities with the comic's being the original Prime reality. This was absolutely amazing! I want to see more from the 80's turtles. Hey Andre, when are you going to voice a Ninja Turtle character on the cartoon? You're like the TMNT's biggest fan voice. You've earned the chance like, 5 times over by now with how much you champion this show. Seriously. Why is this not a thing?

80s Leonardo: Turtle Power! Nickelodeon Leonardo: Enough of the "Turtle Power" already! Let's just go!

This Episode Needed the 03 Turtles

I love tmnt and your video

This must have been super special for Rob Paulsen because TMNT 1987 was his first ever role as a fictional character.

A great crossover. It showed more respect to the 87 turtles than than Turtles Forever did, which seemed to only exist just to bash the 87 turtles. It makes sense that Trans-Dimensional Turtle would show more respect as the new cartoon took its inspiration mainly from the older cartoons. As oppose to the 03 series trying to be dark and brooding like the comics.

No respect to 2003 turtles tho. 👎🏽

rip James Avery

7:10 Yes, she is still fortunately April O'Neil, get over it!, I'm still tired of you complaining about that issue

Saw the episode yesterday and it's miles better than that Turtles Forever movie.

Just asked about this on FB and you delivered cousin!!!

The episode itself I felt was kind of weak compared to Turtles Forever, but I absolutely loved all references to the old show and this one had much more respect to the 80's franchise than Turtles Forever. It was neat that they brought back most of the old voices (and Gilbert Gottfried for some reason). Rob Paulsen must've had a lot of fun voicing two different Turtles! A real shame Shredder couldn't be there. I know James Avery would have loved to be a part of this, rest in peace man.

Nice video. I met you at Wondercon. Nice to see your youtube channel. I am subscribed

... And another thing, 80's Raph attacking by breaking a fire hydrant, THAT was nostalgia! An immediate call back to the Super Nintendo Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I loved it!! This video gamer was satisfied! And Mikey with the rope, was that a nod to the "red sky" era? I'm not shocked to hear 80's Krang is a cousin to Subprime, or that SP didn't realize Krang was plotting to destroy the dimensions and EVERYTHING IN THEM! No wonder Cousin Krang was banished to an alternate universe. And SP banished to the comic book zone, I'll bet any amount of money they'll find an offscreen way to bring him back, just like always... And finally, Leo was so close to spilling the beans! Maybe they could've ensured his survival, but I was prepared for total time travel trouble! But D managed to prevent it from happening. Probs for the better. What if Nick's Shredder was involved in all this?! How crazy could it have gotten then?!

I was kinda hoping the Prime Turtles would've been like "Oh more dimension hoppers? Yeah what you're looking for is up there"

+BlackNerdComedy I've been having a really crappy day and you just made it all better P.S You forgot to mention that before the 80's Turtles fought Tiger Claw 80's Raph said something but it came out of Donatello a clever homage to their own screw up plz reply

Plus,did anyone else notice that the TMNT FOREVER had the "80's" Turtles as tiny while NICKELODEON had the same "80's" Turtles as huge??I wann now see the "80's" Turtles crossover with the '00's Turtles crossover with the NICKELODEON Turtles in a animated movie!

You made me Stop my homework session Watch the episode and completely and utterly lose my collective crap before coming back to watch the rest of this review. My God was this one FUNNY! So glad I remembered to watch this review otherwise I'd have forgotten about it entirely.

Andre! I know it’s a little late but are you going to do a video about Wanted: Bebop and Rocksteady?

I think that the tigerclaw thing shows that time is ticking for Nick turtles because that was near the end of season 2

I made a promise to myself not to view or comment on this until AFTER I saw the episode. I agree with a lot of the stuff you mentioned here. I do love how Subprime threw a reference to the Michael Bay Turtles movies. Lol and Omg, the "gimme a break" line, I completely missed that reference! It's true though, him just randomly throwing a pizza. It's like Mikey with his water balloons. ("Where do you keep them?!") I forgot about all those gross gargles 80's Krang used to make. You're right though, no one does it better than the original voice actor. XD I admit though, I kinda wished Nick's April and Casey got in on this sweet action, just so the 80's gang could have had a chance to see just how awesome they are. The moment I heard a third team of turtles were said to appear, I knew it was the Mirage comics. Given Turtles Forever, I wouldn't have been surprised if Jason Griffith made a voice cameo. IDC what others say but I miss that 4KIDS Sonic voice of his...

Another difference between the 2 specials: The Nick one doesn't offend the og turtles.

Missed the episode Sunday morning, but was able to watch it that evening online. That nostalgia! =D

Aw man, when they were saying good bye to splinter. That bow! It hit me right in the feels.

I loved when you laughed while saying "turtles are forever" Andre :) best thing ever lol

anybody else remember Samurai Pizza Cats and all the "home for aging ninja turtles" jokes they did? lol the nostalgia from this episode reminded me of it. lol

[1:36] LOL - I hear Andre's voice but see Townsend Coleman's mouth when he says "have them back". ;P

Daaaaaaamn Andre, back at it again with the TMNT recaps😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂

Did old Ralph & current Donatello say “NARF”. 😏

I actually saw this episode when it originally aired on tv. One of my favorite lines is Donatello making a get away, and saying "See you in another dimension"!

Notice how in this special they never acknowledge what happened in TMNT Forever as it never happened.

One of the best ways they showed respect/payed homage to the original turtles, that I thought was pretty cool and clever, was when *LEO* gets irritated and has enough of *Leonardo's* "Turtle Power!" battlecry ("enough with the turtle power already...!" LOL) but then before the final battle *LEO* is the one who initiates the battlecry. *TURTLE POWER indeed! ;)*

No offense Andre, I loved the episode but I think it took place in an alternate dimension for the 1987 Turtles. Their was an episode in the original series where 1980's Krang cloned himself and eventually the clones evolved into lizardoid like alien creatures because in an earlier episode Krang said he was a war criminal from dimension X stripped of his alien body so he can't be Kraang sub-prime's cousin who was banished to 1980's Earth for being incompetent. Also, none of the characters of of the 1980's series including Krang ever referred to him as an Utrom which all the Kraang in the 2012 series originally were.

I was hoping you'd mention the Donatello/80s Raphael voice confrontation and Megan Fox references! ;-)
