• The clip was removed before I could see it. Does anyone know where to find another one?

• Aw, man... this makes me miss the original show so much. For real. I know it was supposed to be ridiculous, but my inner-9 year old was going apeshit. Speaking of ape things, dayamn, April filled out a bit and got almost as much titty to her as I do. Maybe that Halloween costume will work after all...

• April always had that rack and if anything she keeps her jacket zipped up a little more than she did. I have to agree that when the 00 turtles showed up I was put off at first by the way they looked but man that first season was awesome. And why are the 80's turtles so short? Were they that short?

• So many dreams I have of being in April's boob-pockets

• Hi, I'm Troy McLure. You may know me from such voice acting roles as '80s Leonardo in Turtles Forever.

• "Amazing how cruddy the "modern" Turtles look in comparison with their 1980s counterparts. Animation these days sucks..." Seriously? meh. My main reaction is just "Dear god, what was that thing!?" ...other than another reason to go back in time and smack my younger self punctuated with a hell of a cartoon rack.

• Ohh jeez, that banana looks like it has a penis. That could bring a whole new meaning to double penetration. ok skeered now!

• Hey, they even tossed in a classic '80s animation mistake in the form of introducing a monster (the leprechauns in particular) and then promptly forgetting about them the minute the camera angle changes. I have to say that I was initially put off by Leonardo's voice, but that only lasted until I realized that he sounded like a used car salesman.

• the 00 turtles seem to have grown taller then the 80's version

• I was expecting to hate this because of the different voices, but honestly, I didn't really mind. I'm still looking forward to this. Can't rape my childhood anymore than the Power Rangers in Space/Ninja Turtles: the Next Mutation crossover.

• Seth Brower: You would be correct. And there is also a difference between art and animation, I find. Seems the complaints are more about the art style and character models. You can have a perfect looking piece of art, but that doesn't mean it will animate well.

• Templar said: I can't help but laugh at people who defend the look of the most recent Turtles cartoons as somehow being more "mature" and "modern" or whatever when they just look that way to cut corners on the animation and because everyone thought it was so cool when Batman: The Animated Series did it... way back in 1992. Posted 10/15/2009 at 10:50:45 PM Absolutely nothing about the animation smacks of cutting corners. You and so many others don't seem to understand the difference between shoddy animation and animation you just don't like. It's your choice not to like the final product but to say it's cheap? That's just a lie. At least the current turtles cartoon never experienced multiple bouts of miscoloring and voices not matching up to the correct turtle. Personal preference and quality are not the same thing.

• Eh . . . Leonardo sounds creepy. Also yeah it was kiddy but I really don't think the 80's toon was ever as bad as that clip. Especially the nonsensical monsters. Besides the Old turtles toon got pretty dark( well dusk-like) in tone by the end. The rack is comforting and nostalgic.

• I want to say that the original models used for the new series turtles feels much better to me, I think as the seasons went along, and they had their thematic shifts, they continued to alter the designs ever so slightly till the were more angular in their lines. I don't think the 2003 series started with them that blocky. Overall I am really looking forward to this though.

• There was something about the 80s turtles in that video that put me off, something that made me think, "This doesn't feel right." It's not the voices, because I first watched it without sound. Then it hit me. It's the teeth. I rarely remember the turtles showing their teeth when they talked or opened their mouths, and yet these turtles are showing their pearly whites all the time. And it makes them look like dorks, for some reason. Yes, a completely ridiculously minor detail, but one I for some reason can't ignore.

• Not as bad as the wrong-sounding muppets. So does the 80s-style Raphael still sound like Chandler?

• This is going to be so AWESOME. Now if they would meet these Turtles also. That would be EPIC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQAQohS0On4&feature=related

• Even the awesomeness of the Splinter scene couldn't salvage this for me. The very existence of this rubs me the wrong way. Why couldn't they wind up in the other turtles' world... maybe then we could get rid of them once and for all. And just what is Cam Clarke doing that they couldn't get him for Leo?

• Talk about no lift & separate! (but equal)

• Anonymous, your picture is awesome.

• The newer series would be improved if they could include and update all the mutants from the original cartoon and toyline that have been left out.

• Wow. Seeing the 80s TMNT being animated side by side with the 00s TMNT makes me realize how fucking SHITTY and blocky-for no reason the 00's ones look! I do know they are edgier but... literally edgy? Really?

• I love this so far, and can't wait to see the whole thing. This is precisely why I prefer the new cartoon to the old; the old had its moments, but from 2K3's start through the Ninja Tribunal arc, it was awesome. Even FF and BttS weren't that bad, but not as good as the earlier seasons. I just wish they'd gone back to the 2K3 models, rather than the Fast Forward models.

• SPEAKING of 80's April with a huge rack, here is my artist depiction of her! ENJOY!!! http://dinohunterx.deviantart.com/art/April-O-Neil-133881848

• I am... "enthused". By which I mean I have a boner.

• This clip just makes me miss the '80s Turtles. They were superior in many ways to the newer, watered down Turtles cartoon universe. While the newer stories might be more serious, they're just not as much fun.

• "Do you work in a car wash or something"? I love it.

• O gosh why. Its like splinters in my ears. Make it stop make it stop.

• I recently re-watched the first few episodes of the 80's show and was blown away by how freakin' big April's rack was. It was incredible. She even had cleavage. You can't get away with that shit anymore. I had mixed feelings about this movie, but I wasn't really sure what it WAS, either. Now I can't miss it.

• (1) I don't remember April having that huge of a rack as a kid o_O (2) This is why we never want to remember the 80s, despite it being our fondest childhood memory.

• God, Aprils rack sure looks more eye catching nowadays. I want to see the relationship between both sets of turtles.

• "We save April once a day. You can put your watch to it." Haha! I'm surprised she didn't twist her ankle, she did that all the time.

• 80s Leo is supposed to sound Like Prince Adam in the 200X He-Man... Damn! April's rack seems bigger than I remember...

• About that whole "the original voice actors are unavailable" comment. I'm sure that Cam, Barry, Rob, and Townsend (not to mention James Avery) were more than willing to be a part of the 25th anniversary considering the actors publicly recalled positive feelings towards the franchise. But it's 4Kids, and they tend to use their own stable of talents rather than outside actors. Thus, the whole "unavailable" line they use. I mean, nowadays, American voice actors that aren't part of a dubbing studio are rarely heard these days.

• Is no one else disturbed that the still frame on the video looks like the banana creature is about to attack with a giant yellow schlong?

• One of my favorite pieces of Turtle trivia was that early runs of the 80's April action figure had her Press tag on her uniform. Then the toymakers had it removed because they realized that some kids might think it meant "press" as in press her left boob for some kind of action feature. I sure a lot of boys were pressing those things anyway.

• I'm ecstatic about how purposely self-aware and awkward this is going to be. Otherwise it would have just been self-aware and awkward without any whimsy. I wish I could have heard Raph's voice; he was always my favorite. Now, where did I put that old April figure of mine...

• Splinter's voice is way off. Leonardo's voice actually did sound quite similar to that one later on in the series. But the original voice which it does NOT sound anything like is the one that most fans remember. Mikey and April were great though. I can't help but laugh at the people who hate the modern turtle designs. They just aren't all kiddified. They look great and fit with the tone of the cartoon and the original comics. Animation doesn't suck nowadays. I'm so sick and tired of 20 or 30 somethings acting like old farts. Just because it's not what you remember doesn't mean it sucks. No go fill up your sweaters with acorns and find yourself a nice park bench so you can feed the squirrels.

• Yeah, I had the same reaction with Leo's. And April's wrack was always massive; it's why every kid loved her growing up, including me.

• Wow, I wasn't expecting too much from this thing. I just sounded like an overblown fanfic with no budget. This, I didn't just like though, I loved. I'm seriously annoyed about not being able to watch past the point in the clip now. And count me as another little kid who experienced strange new feelings when seeing april's cleavage on the show back in the day.

• Ah Ninja Pizza: Home of the Nice Slice Can't believe I remember that haha.

• Amazing how cruddy the "modern" Turtles look in comparison with their 1980s counterparts. Animation these days sucks...

• Aprils "zipper" jumps from being REALLY open to being halfway closed. I always thought how in cartoons it was weird how being too sexy was defined by if the cleavage line was drawn or not. Like the difference between Dark Stalkers Morgana in the American show versus the anime.

• I watched it with the sound off, so I cannot comment on the voices. But as one who largely ignored the new turtles cartoon and thus am not familiar with it's animation, I must say how strikingly different the 80s and 00s character designs are and how much the 00s eat dick.

• 80s Leo sounds like he's being voiced by Trey Parker when they're doing the adult voices on South Park. Very smarmy and condescending with a bit of idiocy. But yeah, love how their poking fun at the goofiness of the original series. That series had, like, 6 "serious" episodes, but when they sent the Technodrome to Dimension X the first time (in the episode "The Shredder is Splintered"), it became cheese from that point on.

• I really thought this blog entry was going to be entirely about that huge, frightening, banana cock in the youtube preview.

• sad that the original voice actors were not able to take part in the silver aniversary celabration of the turtles though seeing both the original eighties with their future counter parts is kind of creepy.

• The 80's Leonardo voice is waaaay off. Plus it's too charismatic sounding. I thought I was hearing a corny, patriotic Captain America. Other than that, this looks pretty much like what I expected. It still looks cool to me. I'd watch it.

• Some of the voices are eh.. but April's rack is greatly appreciated.

• &#64;awesome-0 5000 Yup, I remember cleavage too lol. I think it may have actually been in the arcade games though. I know it's in the reshelled TMNT game on XBLA.

• 80's April rack FTW!

• Two voices being off aren't that big of a deal, we are lucky they are making this at all since the whole plot sounds like internet fan fic. 80's April was always that "gifted." I have vague memories of her actually having a some clevage in some episodes.

• Oh wow, I expected this movie to be really lame but the campyness factor is out of this world. Now I actually want to see it. Also Leonardo is supposed to sound like Liquid Snake.

• Big tits are always a plus. Always.

• Is... That Dan Green voicing classic Leo..? I'm not sure if I should be applauding or appalled..?

• Haha "What's with the yellow Jumpsuit? Do you work at a car wash in this dimension?" Awesome. I also love the wtf look on the 00 turtles faces when the 80's turtles are fighting the mutant food.

• It's been stated a million times already, but Leo and Splinter's voices were really jarring. Other than that it looks rather well done and funny. I'm not sure if April went through a "growth spurt" or not, but I certainly don't remember her zipper being that far down.

• The Leo voice is pretty bad, but I didn't think that was a bad Splinter impression. I'm still looking forward to this, never having seen much of the new series. When I first watched this clip I said "wait a minute, the original show wasn't <I>this</I> goofy." And then I remembered the pizza monsters.

• Seriously, don't let 2 off voices ruin this for you. Okay 4, Shredder and Krang are A little off too.. But Bebop, Rocksteady,Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, April and the channel 6 news crew are dead on.

• I really want to see this, no matter how off Leo's voice is. It wasn't just his voice though, it was his mannerisms too. But kudos to 4kids for making this puppy at all.

• Those voice actors have ruined this for me. It's the same reason I couldn't pick up the third series of Tenchi Muyo, because they couldn't be bothered to pick up the original voice actors or couldn't even be bothered to find a close facsimile.

• I echo Galva's sentiments: some things are a little wonky, but damnit this makes my morning. Now I want to go play TMNT II: The Arcade Game for some reason...

• The original voices are union actors, the studio couldn't afford to pay all the extra money to get them. I'm excited about this movie regardless, the concept alone is enough to make a groan man jump in the air. Leo's voice sounded like that at some point, but it's not the voice fans remember the best.

• Another note: April's pattented scream was amazingly well-recreated even if Splinter and Leo are... clearly not voiced by the same actors.

• It's like casting James Earl Jones to voice act 80's Leo. I guess because he is the leader and all... you known, a profound deep voice to wise up the character.

• HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THOSE THINGS! The stuff with the Turtles isn't bad, either.

• W00t! I sent that tidbit in. Sweet. Anyway. They did an amazing job of re-creating the look of the old show- they got the colors, buildings, and background characters down pat (Ninja Pizza, heh). That said, the monsters missed the mark a little, and the music was... you could see that it was trying to mirror the old show without getting close enough to pay royalties. That said- April's rack, the animation, and "we save April at LEAST once a day!" warms the dark corners of my fuel pump. I can't freaking wait for this sucker to get released.

• 80's Leo sounds like a game show host. And 80's April always had a big rack, I remember being amazed by it lol

• wow, 80s Turtles (and Splinter) really do sound so very very off...

• (@ Leonardos voice)Lol are you fuckin serious?
