Proposed TMNT CGI TV Series "Pilot" Clips

[buzzlightyear24567]

did anybody see the mirage on the truck knowing thats the company that operates the tmnt stuff and movies.

[SonicSnail95]

get the same guys who animated Spectacular Spider-Man to animate a new TMNT.

make it semi-serious. think Batman TBATB, but a tad more grounded/dark.

use classic characters from the original (Bebop, Rocksteady, Shredder, Casey, Leatherhead, Rat King, Baxter Stockman, and of course KRANG).

make the designs softer than the 2003 series, but less bright and more detailed than the original series.

hire some competant VAs, get some good writers, and have a catchy themesong, and bang, perfect TMNT

[DarkNekoStudio]

i'm sorry but this looks great!

the story is interesting, the new foot clan looks amazing.just need some 2011 re work and damn i want to see that, seems better than that......2003 show.

oh and add April in a better jumpsuit! so i'm sorry for those who scream...but i wish it would be the next tmnt!

[SpiderAbu]

Am I the only one who actually wants to see this series? Although the turtles might need some face work, but scenes like on the high floors on the construction sight, at night, and the scenes on top of that truck were really done well. The ambient noise and the really nice choreography really made it stand out. I want this to come out...or even atleast a game version. :S

[SardaukarPrime]

This from 2001?! The graphix look like a Philips CDi FMV circa 1994...

[toblertwo]

The announcer sounds like shredder from the original series.

[combi101]

but april look more human tho

[sonicxtmnt]

All the characters look bad....... and what is the series called (if it ever was on tv or whatever)?

[duderme]

@sonicxtmnt This was never made. It was just a pilot. The 2003 series was made instead.

[sonicxtmnt]

@duderme

oh thank goodness if this was a series I would scream!

[Nolus20]

Nice playstation graphics

[osmall111]

Donkey Kong Country tvshow lol

[EastNightwish]

Sorry, but this looks like they put a lot of energy in the effects and nothing into a story.

It is realy sad.

[lobopuppy2011]

looks more like a ps1 game. glad they never aired this series.

[vampirera]

but anyhow .. i think it was better they made the TMNT 2003 series which was better than this preview here

[vampirera]

I don't know why but April here reminds me of Tricia Helfer :)

[orinanime]

For an 10 YEAR OLD animation PROMO TEST, this looks fairly decent.

Plus, major props for including the Triceratons!

[DraftMasterJohn]

@orinanime The only thing better than a cameo by the Triceratons would be a cameo by Burt and the BLUE OX from "TRUCK'IN TURTLES"!!! Am I right people?

[morbidchid]

Despite the animation sometimes being clunky (it's a small pilot put together in the early 2000's... what should anyone expect...), the fight scenes are actually very well done with a very nice flow to it. I also like the character design for Splinter and Casey.

[RyeDavis28]

@morbidchid dude i feel ya on the fight scenes , but im not feelin the the look, but your right, it was done in 2000 they mite have made it better by now

[AdaveSupastar]

the turtles look wayy bad in dis :(

[KursaLove]

Okay if they are making it CGI, I am definitely not watching it. >>

The good series were good hand drawn animation, which totally brought out the TMNT. CGI just ruins the whole cartoon. Screw you Nick, you sure know how to ruin a good series.

[AdaveSupastar]

@KursaLove : I agree wit dat lol

[orinanime]

@KursaLove

you're right CGI totally ruins cartoons.

Beast Wars ruined Transformers.

ReBoot wasn't well-recieved or critically acclaimed at all....

Making something 2D into 3D is a horrible idea.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was one of the worst games ever.

It totally ruined the Zelda franchise....

Oh... Wait.

[thebuckrogers22]

ugh this is the templates for the 2007 cgi movie that came out. losers

[ANTIcoFilms]

This can't of been a 2001 CGI clip because most of this material was from 2003 and never ever before!

Plus the CGI lack of quality makes it look like you got some scrappy animation software and wiped it up LOL

[eexot]

Even for a pilot this was some pretty awful cgi.

[powermasterjazz]

TMNT (2007) looks waaaaaay better than this.

[jflores85]

i dont like cgi all that much, its sterile and lack heart

[NerdKore64]

@jflores85 I agree with you. And now that Nick bought the TMNT franchise, they plan on "rebooting" the cartoon series and making it CGI. I have been a long time TMNT fan, but this just makes me nervous. I hope they can prove me wrong, but this is Nickelodeon we're talking about.

[Chipmunkool]

Is it just me or does someone say the F word at about 2:35? Besides that, they just need to polish up the animations and textures.

[hyp3rj0s3ph]

Looks like a CGI series is actually being produced by Nickelodeon, whom owns TMNT now.

[jflores85]

its gonna bomb hard

[Hasegawaa]

Somehow that Shredders "Destroy them" made me laugh xD

[mutanimal]

Woah! I'd forgotten all about this. I remember when some smaller clips were floating around online as promotion back in the day. It's funny how many similarities there are to the 2K3 show (like the car design). I guess 4Kids picked up the pieces.

[BoukenBlack]

I agree.

[Limpurtikles]

This is awesome!

5:11 made me laugh.

[Chawo]

Uh...yeah...quite nice...

[jojuinc]

I don't know but they're not of this Earth.

[Biby256]

I'll do my communicatin' wit dese!
