Really liked it :D felt soo nostalgic But I also had a problem with the goofiness of the 1987 turtles I don't remember them clearly since I was so young when I watched it but I don't remember them being That silly (except for mickey I think) And I remember april being, well dunno not that much of a damsel in distress kinda person but more looking for trouble (as a reporter) than again my memory of it is very vague
I really miss the initial on their belts though :P I plan rewatching the old show
@genredleader if you actually watched the full movie you would know that the Turtles were accurately potrayed and that they weren't goofy all the time!
I'm sorry, I could not watch more than five minutes of this movie. The newer turtles weren't really interacting with the old cast so much as they were interacting with a parody of the original cast and that's not what the movie's supposed to be selling. :\ Painful doesn't even begin to describe how badly this was done. If they weren't going to take seriously, they shouldn't have bothered at all. -_-
My generation of turtles was the '03 ones. After seeing this I decided I'd check out the older cartoon. No, they weren't as bad as in the movie. They were worse. I know, I grew up with 90s cartoons, and so I'm used to darker stuff, but I could not sit through those earlier cartoons. I'm sorry if it annoys people that I think this, but I have no nostalgia filter re: the 87 turtles.
I understand what the reviewer is saying here by it being neat that these classics are making comebacks, but I'm a bit torn on that in all honesty. Personally, I think bringing back franchises such as the Ninja Turtles has a lot more to do with marketing and making money than anything else. They figured "hey it worked once, why not do it again?" Just think, in 2 years, it will have been an entire decade already since the 2003 series, so they can go after a whole new youthful audience with it.
I don't know mutch about the 87 turtles but I think that perhaps they were overly silly for a reason. When the comic, 87 and 2003 turtles are all to gether there needs to be contrast, the comic characters are really dark so they made the 87's really light and then there are the 2003 turtles who are in the middle hence a kind of balance of badass and funny.
my idea probably isn't right but it could be possible.
@mazzy305 the '87 turtle series was definitely much more lighthearted than its 2003 counterpart, but they overdid it with this special, I think. They made the '87 turtles look like weak retards. That got to me a bit. That said, it was really sweet at the end to see the comic turtles kick some major ass.
@ANTIcoFilms As a fan of the 80's turtles, I was disappointed in how weak and stupid the 80's turtles seemed in this special. That said, it could have been much worse.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CGI. I was excited about the new Nick cartoon then I heard CGI. Ugh, blegh, no, no, no. I didn't like the CGI TMNT movie because it was not only CGI, took itself too seriously and the style was just a bit off the wall for me. I always preferred the cartoony look of the 87 cartoon and even the comic style.
i have the dvd and i like the movie for the most part but what pisses me off soooooooooo badly is why did they make the 80's turtles sooooooooooooo CHEESEY! like it was overly done. and all of the 80's turtles acted like mikey would act but in a more childish way. and i hate that. i love the 2003 turtles but i grew up with the 80's one. if it wasnt for the comics and 80's turtles, there would be no movies, the live action tv show or even the 2003 turtles show.
The original turtles were actually , THAT bad XD it's just that as a kid you don't notice it . I still like them though , not as much as the 2003 series but..yeah
When I saw the plot, I thought of Jet Li's "The One"
Anyway, my biggest gripe was the overshadowing they did on 87's Turtles. We all know the 87s cartoon was based to be lighter than it's darker 84's Mirage Comic selves to appeal to the kids. That's why we loved them so much. They had funny antics to ridicule the baddies during their adventures. As I recalled, they were aware of the seriousness of a situation taken place. It's just somehow, someone lightens the mood. More on the isde of
damn, nickolodean is gonna fck up the franchise so bad. cgi? gimme a break. i would love for marvel or dc to buy the franchise to maybe see them in comics again.
I WWWWWWAAAAAAANNNNTTTTTTT IIIIITTTTTT NNNNNOOOOOOWWWWW GIMME MY COPY NOW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEE......MY HEAD HURTS.....
I love how you play the music from the old cartoon. I agree about the over the top acting for the old cartoon Turtle's. I even knew as a child that bthey where Goofy but noit this Goofy. Also I would of like to have seen April's, Casey's n Splinters counterpart meet for the 1st time!
Still it was a rare treat to see classics abck with the new. The old Turtle's have better facial expressions n for me...,are much cuter which I love!
I agree with the consensus that the 1987 Turtles were not well portrayed. Not at all. Instead of calling it "Turtles Forever", they should have just called it "Fuck The 80's Turtles".
I grew up with the 80's Ninja Turtles, but I have to say the 2003 Turtles is way better. The fact that it plays closer to the comic and the fact that they tie in the stories better, just makes it more appealing to me. I think the only two things from the 2003 series that I didn't like is the Untrom Shredder and Casey Jones a complete wuss and moron instead of a psychotic vigalante. I think kNIGHTWING is alittle too hard on the 2003 series myself. Other than that, a great review of an epic movie.
I agree with your review, especially about the stupidity factor.
I can understand poking fun at the series but they over did it way too much. It's times like that I compare 4kids with a linebacker with butterfingers...
Pretty good review "dude"! As a matter of fact, I actually watched the Turtles Forever movie here on Youtube. I really liked it myself, bringing together the 2 universe turtles together. The story was good & there were some funny moments. I could watch it a few more times because I liked watching it. TURTLE POWER & IT'S NINJA TIME DUDE! :)
I also bought the DVD, I agree as well, I enjoyed it overall, but the way they handled the '87 turtles wasnt the best- far far too goofy , i was slackjawed when they dropped their weapons and ran off from the prime turtles, I thought they should have blocked the attack from the primes, and Raph would have broke out with a line, Hey just because we are from the 90's dosent mean we are going to back down from any other generation" especially after1987's first 5 pilot episodes..
i agree, they made the 80's turtles way too goofy, they even made Raph goofy, which is weird because, everyone knows that Raph was always the" too cool for school" one. I enjoyed seeing the old school turtles again for a long time. And the scene where the new Shredder found all the other dimension turtles, I loooooved the animation on them, i wish i could put all of them on a t-shirt. anyways great review, you are definately a true turtle fan.... 5 stars
The only thing I disliked about Turtles Forever is how they went overboard in making the 87 turtles look silly. Yes, they were goofy at times, but not to the extent portrayed in the movie.
I LUVED TMNT 80s I GOT ALMOST EVERY DVD COLLECTION IT VER CAME OUT WITH THIS SHOW GAVE ME HOPE MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS FROM MY FAVORITE SHOW WAS BAK AND THEY PISSED ME OFF ON HOW WRONG THEY GOT THEM NO WAY IN HELL IS DA NEW TMNT BETTA THAN THE OLD ONE PEACE TO ALL ORIGINAL TMNT 80s FANS
i liked it!!1 but it reminded me of justice league crisis on two earths... because of the turtle prime..earth prime... thing.. but I LIKE THE 2003 TURTLES BEST!! :)
I agree they were pretty hard on the old turtles. They were never cowards like they were depicted in this movie. Even so they made so many great jokes and epic moments that I can forgive those short-comings though it probably helps because I love the 2003 cartoon as well.
I completely agree this was an excellent send off for TMNT up to this point and it's just amazing it even exists because you never see a cross-over like this happen.
The movie just hit DVD but sadly it's a pretty bad release.
I personally did not like the how stupid the movie made the 1987 turtles, and even though I thought the constant poking fun at the old series was funny at first, I found that on repeated viewing it irriated me more and more. Good movie and plot, But I personally felt for the most part the 1987 turtles where mishandled.
ever voice from the turtles to the splinter and the krang, Rocksteady and bebop1990 are all the classic voices. But the shredder is the 2nd voice from the 1995 came.
Yup, Cam Clarke did both voices. He basically has that sailory, adventurey voice. As an extra tidbit, he also did the voice of He-Man in the 2002 series.
I agree with this review. The 1987 cast was portrayed as being a lot more dim-witted and incompetant than they really were. It was still great to see them again, but the writers didn't quite capture who they really were.
You're right, the first five episodes of TMNT 87 had great animation. I believe it would've lasted longer if it stayed that way and brought in more characters from the comic. IMHO
It may not have made as grand of an impact as the 87 series, but the 2k3 series did last 8 years, producing over 150 episodes, that's rare for a American animated series nowadays. Even DC and Marvel productions don't enjoy that type of run.
great review. I agree, the 80s turtles were way too cowardly in this movie. They did fight in a comical way, though, always utilizing their surrounding while the new turtles fought with more style, so they got that part right.
Give it time Disney with mess it up just look at Doug bad ass show when it was on Nickelodeon then Disney bought it then it sucked ass everything changed omg a bullet sound better then watching that crap
false nick is going 2 continue with the 2011 new movie, and nick is gonna make a new show as u said. personaly I think this is reaaaalllyyy coooool movie turtles forever
It sucks that Nickoloadeon has control of Tmnt. I HATE NIKOLOADOEN!!!!!! I want the tmnt free from nickoloadeon.... It suck I tell you SUCKS!!! I want them to go back to their old um... i think the word would be company.
well remember when 4kids purchased the franchise back at 2003 a lot people feel the same at 4kids as you feel about nickelodeon, even thought i agree that cgi is definitely inferior to animation, I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt
@Nicksolo85 I agree. I loved You can't do that on television, Doug, Rocko's modern life, Double Dare (kinda). Nickelodeon should leave our boys in green alone.
Another thing that should be done is that they should get the 87 cartoon back on basic cable.
It would be awesome if there was another network dedicated specifically to either 80s and 90s cartoons or action cartoons.
Hell, it would be awesome to have both TMNT cartoons on 1 network and if they aired side-by-side in either order.
The shows on Nickelodeon in the 90s weren't really mediocre (in my opinion) but a lot of what they have now is mediocre and/or just plain retarded in my opinion.
This is so unfair. why did Nicklodeon get thr rights to TMNT. the 2003 series was the best of them all n now their gonna screw it up. i never relly was around (aka alive) when the 1988 turtles were around on television and thus never was a Huge fan of it. It made the 2003 look like the beast of the turtles series ever to be aired on tv. im very nervous once tmnt is getting redone by nicklodeon. I thought the past series were more like a joke and this modern day sereies was the king. were ded
One line that was funny was when 87 [or CC, short for classic cartoon as I like to call it] Raphael broke the 4th wall then Hun looks at the camera with a confused look, grabs CC Raphael and says "WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT? WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? THERE'S NO ONE THERE!"
Another funny moment was when CB [short for comic book] Shredder appears, says "I am here! Come and face your..." and then [before he can finish] he get's hit by trash cans and falls off the building.
I really dig your videos, im loving the turtles month you have going, turtles were a big part of my childhood, i remember being a kid and wanting to be a ninja turtle when i grew up, even if i wasnt a turtle dang nabbit, i was going to do it.
I totally agreed with the fact that the 87 turtles were too corny in this movie and I kind of felt dishonored by their pro trail and their voice acting was a bit forced too... Besides that seeing the Mirage turtles 87 turtles and 2003 turtles was awesome also looking at the brief scene where Shredder looks at the multi dimensions you can see the classic ninja turtles from the live action movies.
WHAAA?!? end of the 2k3 seiries??? it cant be!!! well i guess it had its run.. but this better not be the end of the turtle franchise itself!!! or i will be sooooo pissed!
I love your review on the whole concept. It was well put together. and i just love the way u explained every single plot in the story. I agree with you all the way, i love Ninja Turtles and watching the classics come back to life again just makes me feel like a kid again. I'm going to miss those 1987 Turtles so much.
In honor of TMNT's 25th Anniversary, I am currently working on a 4 part tribute blog on MySpace. It has a history lesson [comics, TV shows, movies, etc] that's why I decided to split it into 4 parts.
I am currently working on part 3.
I hope to have this 4 part tribute and a review blog of TMNT Turtles Forever all by December 25th, 2009.
I agree that the goofiness was over the top, but there's a legitamite reason why the '87 turtles were such cowards in this movie, especially at the end. In their world, they know they're on a TV show, and they know that neither they nor their enemies are going to get killed, because they have to come back for the next episode.
In the Mirage universe, that rule does not exist, and so it was now possible that they could die. The realization that they could be killed is what caused them to run.
with the exception of the voices for the 87 turtles, all on the movie was over the top.... the comedy, action, and alot of fan service...... i really hope to se this movie on DVD soon.....
The Movie was Great! I loved the 87 Turtles and the 03 Turtles! I'm to young for the comics. But the 03 Turtles began to die with Flash Forward. And 87 began to die, we'll I can't remember toughs guys. TURTLE POWER!!!
I really loved the 200X show. It allready combined aspects of the b/w comics, the archie comics, the classic cartoon show and even the movies. So to see the Turtles getting redone again kinda kills me on the inside.
I just hope those suits at VIACOM know what they are doing with this francise.
I honestly don't know what to think about Nickelodeons series I'm a fan of CG-i (sue me) so I'm looking forward to that and the inclusion of old and new characters is awesome but since Nickelodeon is more about comedy I'm hoping they'll combine the humor of the 80's show with the characters of the 2003 show...
Ubisoft could've put the 80s turtles in Ninja Turtles Smash Up if they wanted to, that would sell alot more, yea they'd probably have the same moveset as the present day turles but it would still be a good idea, plus most of the character choices for the game were from the modern day series of course, which was a huge dissappointment although i guess it can slide i mean it wwas still a great game
You know whats funny? everything you said was dead on and i was thinking the same thing word for word. from the turtle being dumb and scary to the voices. your a pretty good reviewer and knows what everyone else know. good job mate.
I loved the subtle nods to the old series as well. Like when the 8 turtles first find the Technodrome and the screen pans out, a scene found in the original's intro with the 4 classic turtles.
Also the two Channel 6 reporters (not including April) and pompadour guy. ha
worst thing about it: made me miss the classic turtles animation!
That was really epic but I had no idea that it was the last they were going to make.

The 1987 raphael was a good one he sounded 80% like him
and why the ones from back to the sewer why not have the one from the Return to new york episodes those ones looked fantastic.

I personally did not like the how stupid the movie made the 1987 turtles, and even though I thought the constant poking fun at the old series was funny at first, I found that on repeated viewing it irriated me more and more. Good movie and plot, But I personally felt for the most part the 1987 turtles where mishandled.

I agree with this review. The 1987 cast was portrayed as being a lot more dim-witted and incompetant than they really were. It was still great to see them again, but the writers didn't quite capture who they really were.

You're right, the first five episodes of TMNT 87 had great animation. I believe it would've lasted longer if it stayed that way and brought in more characters from the comic. IMHO

It may not have made as grand of an impact as the 87 series, but the 2k3 series did last 8 years, producing over 150 episodes, that's rare for a American animated series nowadays. Even DC and Marvel productions don't enjoy that type of run.

great review. I agree, the 80s turtles were way too cowardly in this movie. They did fight in a comical way, though, always utilizing their surrounding while the new turtles fought with more style, so they got that part right.

Nickelodeon ought to just stick to what they know.....
Mediocre kids shows with 90% humor like what they have now.
I'm looking in your direction Sponge Bob (tolerable), Fairly Odd Parents and Drake and Josh.
Nickelodeon was better back in the 90s when they had shows like Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Double Dare and Wild and Crazy Kids.
Nicksolo85 1 year ago
@Nicksolo85 I agree. I loved You can't do that on television, Doug, Rocko's modern life, Double Dare (kinda). Nickelodeon should leave our boys in green alone.
calamaty 1 year ago
Another thing that should be done is that they should get the 87 cartoon back on basic cable.
It would be awesome if there was another network dedicated specifically to either 80s and 90s cartoons or action cartoons.
Hell, it would be awesome to have both TMNT cartoons on 1 network and if they aired side-by-side in either order.
The shows on Nickelodeon in the 90s weren't really mediocre (in my opinion) but a lot of what they have now is mediocre and/or just plain retarded in my opinion.

This is so unfair. why did Nicklodeon get thr rights to TMNT. the 2003 series was the best of them all n now their gonna screw it up. i never relly was around (aka alive) when the 1988 turtles were around on television and thus never was a Huge fan of it. It made the 2003 look like the beast of the turtles series ever to be aired on tv. im very nervous once tmnt is getting redone by nicklodeon. I thought the past series were more like a joke and this modern day sereies was the king. were ded
obcessiongal48 2 years ago
A couple of things...
1. The movie they annouced is still coming out, it's just coming out a year later than announced.
2. The original Turtle VA's didn't reprise their roles here because they're all union voice actors and 4Kids doesn't use union actors.
3. The part where the 80's Turtles throw the trash cans was most likely just a knock at the fact that they hardly used their weapons in the cartoon.

One line that was funny was when 87 [or CC, short for classic cartoon as I like to call it] Raphael broke the 4th wall then Hun looks at the camera with a confused look, grabs CC Raphael and says "WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT? WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? THERE'S NO ONE THERE!"
Another funny moment was when CB [short for comic book] Shredder appears, says "I am here! Come and face your..." and then [before he can finish] he get's hit by trash cans and falls off the building.

I totally agreed with the fact that the 87 turtles were too corny in this movie and I kind of felt dishonored by their pro trail and their voice acting was a bit forced too... Besides that seeing the Mirage turtles 87 turtles and 2003 turtles was awesome also looking at the brief scene where Shredder looks at the multi dimensions you can see the classic ninja turtles from the live action movies.

In honor of TMNT's 25th Anniversary, I am currently working on a 4 part tribute blog on MySpace. It has a history lesson [comics, TV shows, movies, etc] that's why I decided to split it into 4 parts.
I am currently working on part 3.
I hope to have this 4 part tribute and a review blog of TMNT Turtles Forever all by December 25th, 2009.

jaxblade07 2 years ago
I agree that the goofiness was over the top, but there's a legitamite reason why the '87 turtles were such cowards in this movie, especially at the end. In their world, they know they're on a TV show, and they know that neither they nor their enemies are going to get killed, because they have to come back for the next episode.
In the Mirage universe, that rule does not exist, and so it was now possible that they could die. The realization that they could be killed is what caused them to run.

Ubisoft could've put the 80s turtles in Ninja Turtles Smash Up if they wanted to, that would sell alot more, yea they'd probably have the same moveset as the present day turles but it would still be a good idea, plus most of the character choices for the game were from the modern day series of course, which was a huge dissappointment although i guess it can slide i mean it wwas still a great game

I loved the subtle nods to the old series as well. Like when the 8 turtles first find the Technodrome and the screen pans out, a scene found in the original's intro with the 4 classic turtles.
Also the two Channel 6 reporters (not including April) and pompadour guy. ha
worst thing about it: made me miss the classic turtles animation!
