    My father was involved in the production of the original 3 moves in the late 80's early 90's. Makes me wish I had the same opportunity, as I always loved the Ninja Turtles of which has never changed. I really like how its still going strong.

    I thought this looked pretty decent. For a 2001 pilot the animation looked very fluid. Compare that to BeastWars or any cgi show at the time. The humor and style of each turtle was there. Also Splinter sounds like 90s Splinter. This didnt look bad at all. If it got picked up and given more $ i bet it woulve been great.

    I think I got it! They were trying to do what the 2003 series later became...but tried to do it as CGI at first. I'm willing to bet that the look, feel, story, content, and direction of the 2003 series was going to be in this one. I remember they had an interview for the 2007 film saying how highly they regarded CGI as a format to "bring the turtles to life," so my theory is that the creators utilized their CGI proclivity as early as 2001 to jumpstart the franchise via TV series. >>>IMA NERD

    I kind of like it outside of April and Shredder. I didn't like April's look nor her voice. As for Shredder I didn't like his color scheme. Besides that it looked pretty good for the time. That being said I'm still glad we got the 2003 version. Would of like this one more in comparison of either of the nickelodeon shows.

  • @tompollockjr144

    Being a huge fan of the turtles i like the combat was great the realism of how the weapons hit is awesome the turtles them selfs ya can use alil touch up but overall good start keep the they been away storyline as of shredder was gone for some time so they had time to train april and themselves alot more and then by episode three shredder makes his return with the goal to kill splinter or something this is just my thoughts but awesome concept.

  • @ashtonbyrd3686
    @ashtonbyrd3686 Před 4 lety +13

    This show is something.. The graphics looks interesting to say the least..the turtles designs were actually attempted to make the classic looks. As for, shredder and the foot clan soldiers the shredder’s design makes me think of the original design of the older cartoon and those foot clan soldiers look like elite foot clan soldiers from the 2003 series but they look a bit different. My honest opinion overall, it looks a interesting and it makes me think of the donkey Kong series that used cgi for the models. It has its overall noticeable issues but, if they did fix them it would be interesting. Again, this is a old show I wouldn’t expect perfection I would probably watch it because I love Tmnt 2003. Lastly, sad to hear this show got cancel.

    This has a very unique feel. I know I would have watched it once. I like Shredder's design. And the foots. Although if you look at the monitor again you can see a robot sitting there. I wonder if that could be Krang. Also I like April kicking butt. Casey reminds me more of the 80's Casey.

    Ok, the show looks like it would have been pretty interesting. These clips seem like they were early drafts that were made to sell the show and probably weren't the finished product.
    The animation is definitely not very good even for 2001, like the physics seem very off in places, but the fighting looked very good and very well choreographed.
    The Turtle's designs had promise, but seemed somewhat smushed in some places. Though they were better than some versions we've had in the past.
    I do like the design of the Shredder in some ways, I think the color scheme might have worked if they had toned down some of the colors and replaced some of the gold with some chrome gray or silver coloring.
    April and Casey looked a little strange, but since it was not the finished product they might have been planning to sharpen their designs a little.
    Splinter honestly looked really good for what they had to work with.
    The Foot Soldiers looked pretty cool, the tech look is a very interesting concept.
    You can also see some concepts and ideas that they put into the 2003 show, like the truck, or the very obvious things the Turtles say like "What the shell" or "Let's get the shell out of here".
    But I'm honestly glad this show didn't happen so we could get the amazingness that is the 2003 Turtles show!
    Now if only money-hungry Nickelodeon would put the 2003 show's seasons out on DVD instead of their crappy overpriced 3-Episode DVD sets that even if you found them all you couldn't get the complete series.

    For me one of the scariest characters when I was younger was shredder 2003 because of his overall design, voice, and laugh. His overall music, doesn’t make things better. However, that version of shredder made me like him because he’s supposed give people fear and he does just that perfectly.

    I still think it's cool tho!

    While I would join the others in saying "this looks pretty cool, but I'm glad we got the 2003 series instead," rewatching these clips for the first time in years it seems like it would have been similar. At least, in tone and characterization. I could envision something that would be very much like the cartoon we got, only with story beats playing out differently. The main difference is, I just don't see this or the WB cartoon pilot lasting nearly as long without 4Kids's involvement. I always felt the fact it was their ONLY major success outside of card game based anime series, and they let it run longer than in anyone else's hands. I mean, 5 seasons of a main series and 2 more sequel shows, where as the He-Man revival at the same time flopped because it was on a network that didn't really have a stake in it. Not to mention, no matter how primitive a CGI cartoon looked like compared to today, they were pretty expensive to produce, scaring off any network with its high budget. All things considered if a network picked this up, and if it was made, I'd be surprised if we got so much as 2 13 episode seasons at the most.

    The animation was too stiff compared to the 2007 movie and the 2012 series. I liked the shredders look but his color scheme was too bright for a ninja in my opinion. I did not like the look of the turtles they looked liked the old geezer future turtles from the 87 series when they traveled to the future. I did like the foot soldiers design though they was the best designed character models out of the whole pilot in my opinion. The entire staff of voice acting was atrocious though that definitely needed to be done over, to be honest a lot of this pilot reminds me of 2003 series even with April learning ninjitsu, it appears to me that the 2003 series took a lot from this pilot.

    I'm actually relieved that they decided against this. The 2003 version we got instead remains (for me) the _definitive BEST_ iteration of The Turtles that we have gotten _to date._ The CG of this unreleased pilot is TERRIBLE. The "jokes" were both CRINGE and CORNY, and it reminded me of those cheap, late 90's early 00's CG cartoons the studios would crank out with NO REGARD for quality...because for some reason executives were of the idea that "as long as it was CG, it [would be] popular". 🙄

    I don't care about the awful rotoscope pilot. I think the scrapped stuff with the mirage based designs and clip of raph in the sewers evading mousers looks way more interesting.

    The cgi makes me think about the movie Food Fight and I don’t like it 😬
