Talk:TMNT (film)

If we could get a link to where it was stated Shredder wouldn't be in it that would be great - not saying it's false, it will just be good to have.

The problem with that, is that it was not mentioned in an online interview or something of that matter, but in the letters page of the TMNT comic book (I forget which issue, but it's a very recent one). The S 03:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Can anybody provide a reputable link that can prove the info about the soundtrack? I've tried searching for it but I can't find it anywhere. ONEder Boy 04:28, 19 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

As of now there has not been release of a soundtrack as of yet. As the movie is still in production and won't be released until spring of next year. If there is going to be a soundtrack, we won't know until winter of 2006 or spring of 2007. Since the movie is being produced through Warner Bros., chances are the soundtrack will be released through them. [Edit by Halfshell]

This film is gonna be rated PG? That's stupid, all the modern day super hero films are rated PG-13. Batmain Begins, Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, the X-Men ect. The only reason the original TMNT films were rated PG was because in the costumes the actors that play the Turtles don't have alot of mobility, so the fighting sequences, while still awesome, aren't extremely intense. But with CGI characters this movie can totally kick ass, easily making it have a PG-13 rating. I will be fairly disappointed if it isn't intense enough to earn a PG-13 rating.

Ah, you make a point there.

WRONG! Family-related CGI films do not get PG-13 ratings! It's too late because it has a PG rating.

No, this film isn't going to be released until next year. The rating could still change.

The news calls it "PG-rated", but if the rating could still change and I don't want this film to be rated PG-13, maybe it could be rated G instead because it's now animated.

To be rated as G would make this film horrible. It would need at least PG or above to keep the film from sucking.

I heard TMNT II was heavily censored for violence, which is why they barely used their weapons. Sad, eh?

This film has now been rated PG.

The article says the movie's tentative title is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV. As much as I'd love for the francise to continue the numeration after the previous three movies, I have not yet heard the movie been referred to with "IV". Anyone have a source for the "IV"? --Brandon Dilbeck 00:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think the "IV", is to reflect a tenative numbering, the movie IS set in the same canon as the first two movies but the third holds the numbering this movie would likly hold. It would have been much easier if the film had a "Superman Returns"-style title to avoid all of this confusion. Dr. R.K.Z 2 June 2006

Would someone please provide a source that indicates the relationship between TMNT and the other three films, because as far as I'm aware, there's nothing to suggest that this film is in continuity with the others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.53.192.71 (talk • contribs)

However, there is nothing to suggest that it is not a continuity of the other three films. The only mistakes would be minor continuity errors, that happen when a significant amount of time (oh, lets say 13 years) between movies. I agree that we do need references to suggest whether or not it is a continuation, but we have not heard from anyone that it isn't a continuation. Disinclination 04:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

In the TMNT cgi/animated does have some referring to the three live actions, in the part where Splinter places the Nightwatcher's (Raph's) helmet, the Shredder is on the shlef and the scepter is hung horizontally under the shelf of helmets. So please don't say there is no refferences in the CGI that has nothing reffering to the live action movies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Halfshell (talk • contribs) 22:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I edited the bit about the villains. It's definitely a bogus. Basically, Mirage Studios doesn't own the rights to the old cartoon. All the characters who weren't in the comics and in the old cartoon (Bebop, Rocksteady, Dimension X, Krang, Technodrome etc) don't belong to Mirage Studios, they belong to the studio that did the old cartoon. And there is no sign of the that studio being involved in the movie. Plus, about the soundtrack, that was also probably a bogus. I can't see them announcing the WHOLE soundtrack at this stage. Plus, in my opinion, the artists all suck (except U2) and don't sound very turtle-y. I mean, can you really picture the turtles kicking ass to Green Day?

Also, about the Shredder not being in the movie. I'll be honest with you, there is no specific source that says he won't be in it. BUT. The movie incorporates aspects of the first movie (the end of which Shredder was killed). So it is assumed that he is still dead, and he didn't come back from the dead in the second movie.

Lets recap here: "Mirage Studios doesn't own the rights to the old cartoon. All the characters who weren't in the comics and in the old cartoon (Bebop, Rocksteady, Dimension X, Krang, Technodrome etc) don't belong to Mirage Studios, they belong to the studio that did the old cartoon"

First of all, statement is false. Mirage Studios owns copyright to all character names. Fred Wolfe Productions own the production and Editing rights to the show not the characters.

[Edited By Halfshell]

They don't own the rights to the characters which appeared in the old cartoon and not the comics, hence why Bebop and Rocksteady and Dimension X and all that crap doesnt' appear in the new cartoon, which is what I was trying to say.

Bebop and Rocksteady among others don't appear in the new cartoon because Mirage does not want them to. Jay Verdi 11-24-2006

Nope, the official site says they actually do NOT have the rights to cartoon-exclusive characters. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.122.208.51 (talk) 17:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC).Reply

Will Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady or the Technodrome appear in the current cartoon?

No. The 4Kids TV series is based on the comic books by Eastman and Laird, so the characters that were created specifically for the original TV cartoon will not appear in the new show. Some characters that originated in the Mirage Studios comic books, such as Leatherhead, will appear in the new series, but they will be portrayed as they were in the comic books, not the original animated series.

What about Mondo Gecko, Ninjara, Slash et al. Are they going to appear?

Highly unlikely. Since the 4Kids TV series is based on the comic books by Eastman and Laird, only the characters that were created for the Mirage universe will probably be showing up. There will be some crossover between the old and new series (like Leatherhead) - but as was stated above, the characters will appear in their original form, not as they were depicted in the original cartoon. Peter Laird wants to keep the mutant count low in the current series because he feels that it makes the TMNT more special.

That right there says they choose not to use them. Not that they didn't own them. I looked through the whole offical site and no where did it state that they did not own the rights to the exclusive cartoon charichters. So until i see other wise i will not believe that they do not own them. Other people shouldn't also.

Woah what's all this about the soundtrack?! Marco Beltrami or whatever he's called. Does that mean we're having no shi**y pop music, and having a proper musical score?

TMNT Came out in 2007, the things Kurai said and the Shredder being gone but " Not for long " Fits the way seaosn 4 left off, and season 5 didnt start till 2008.

I see someone listed what some of the actors in the trailer SOUND like. I think being subjective, this isn't something that should be on the main page of an article, but on the discussion page.

yeah, this is defniitely a continuation of the first three flicks. all three turtles movies are referenced in this one.

I'm a turtles fan. I loved the first two movies, and i liked the third. i was excited when i heard that a fourth one was being made. if youre a turtles fan, and you plan on seeing this movie, my advice is keep your expectations low, unless youre six years old or younger. in that case you'll probably like it. this movie was made with only one thing in mind: selling toys to kids. It's a lame movie. the story is awful. really awful. full of cliches about ancient warriors, monsters comming out of different dimensions, and immortal curses. the movie is entirely digitally animated. things look kind of okay. some cool rain effects. the sets are cool. the character move (walk) a bit akwardly at times. the turtles hands and feet are abnormally large, but there are certain details like skin texture and veins and wrinkles which make them look alright. the human characters all look bad. my friend said he thinks splinter looks like chester cheetah. he's right. also, splinter sounds like a drunken pizza chef when he talks. oh, and there are not nearly enough pizza refferences in the movie. like, no pizza jokes. 06:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)~~george

That, and the part of the article where it says they have the canister of ooze, a time scepter, etc, would indicate that this film does include the previous films in its continuity.

You know the Time Scepter and Armor could also be a referance to the part in the comics when the Turtles used a scepter to travel in time.

Except that the Scepter seen is clearly the one from the third movie and besides the Time Scepter was never theirs in the comics. User: Jay Verdi

There are a few problems with this film being part of the continuity of the first three films. 1.) Shredder's Helm. How could the the turtles have aquired it? Why is it not crushed? We can plainly see the helm get crushed at the end of the first film. 2.) from what I can tell by looking at pictures of the movie, splinter still has all of his right ear. If this was supposed to be in continuity his right ear would be missing because shredder cut it off in Japan. 3.) The turtles did not and could not return to the present time with any part of the samuri armor based on the rules of equal mass displacement outlined in the third film. Also at this point in the movie they've long abandoned their samuri armor. TimeCruiserMike 06:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

That's true that the Shredder's helmet was crushed, but if you remember the second movie. He reuses it and cuts it up with some steel saw or something making the helmet looking more jagged so maybe it's possible that the helmet didn't get damaged as bad as it appeared in the first movie especially if he would reuse it in such a short time after his fall from the building. I've heard that this movie had some tie ins to the previous movies, at least the first two and you can clearly see that the Shredder helmet looks to be the same as the first movie's appearance. But as to how the Turtles would have gotten it, or maybe that shouldn't be the right helmet if this new movie should really take place after the other ones and that it should look more like the second movies one with the jagged edges or that if it's the same helmet should it look more like the Super Shredder helmet since the helmet was changed due to the mutation? Maybe the creators of the new story didn't really take the time to look back in the past movies about exact character developments that occurred like Splinter's ear or the cloths that disappear in time travel and make the four movies follow better continually together.

It happens when movies are spaced too far apart. Continuity errors appear. However, it seems to me that TMNT is apart of the continuity, and we don't have any basis otherwise to suggest so. Disinclination 17:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The article states this: "In a recent interview, director Kevin Munroe stated that he'd like to direct a possible sequel, possibly involving the return of the Shredder."

Oh course, then the turtles get the hint, and simultaneously shout out "The Shredder?!"The Great Morgil 01:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Article states that this film takes place after TMNT 1,2 and 3. This is not exactly true. You see, there is no Karai in old TMNT movies, and April is a reporter there. This is because old movies were after old TMNT series, while new TMNT movie is after new TMNT 2003+ series. My best guess is that new TMNT movie takes place right before last Season 4 episode (ill-famous "The Ninja Tribunal"), and Karai actually hints the Turtles about upcoming True Shredder threat (as we know from Season 5, Karai knew about True Shredder from the very beginning and made some preparations). However it means that Episode 103 "Good Genes Part II" from Season 4 and "The Ninja Tribunal" are separated by...i don't know...a year? This may not be possible, because "The Ninja Tribunal" story arc begins in Episode 100 "A Tale of Master Yoshi" (first appearance of the Ninja Tribunal) and "Good Genes Part II" (elemental Heralds come into play). Anyways, they can't do a movie about Shredder's Return, because it is already done in Season 5. L.R.N 03:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I seriously think that this page should have a Cancelled Sequels section because there were lots of serious plans a decade ago for TMNT 2 and TMNT 3. According to animatedviews.com and other websites, the Director already had storylines for these two films. TMNT 2 would of featured Michelangelo feeling left out in his family and decides to join the Foot Clan, replacing his orange bandana with a black and while this is happening, the other three turtles travel to Japan where they cross paths with Karai and somewhere in there involves the return of the Shredder which was hinted in TMNT. TMNT 3 was to feature Technodrome's arrival from Dimension X along with the Triceratons. Mystic Moore 5:44, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Well, certainly it should be added. One thing to note, however, is that critics and the "fans" often have different rating scores. It's one thing I've noted consistantly with RT. As with several horror movies, critics have often bashed many of them. However, the fans continually love the movies, despite their flaws (which they see quite clearly), and rate them high.

I was going to put a little note in the trivia section until I noticed the message not to add anything more there. The artifacts on the lair's wall makes it clear viewers are supposed to see this movie as a sequel to the three previous films, but in the video game Shredder's design is based on the 2003 cartoon show. Even more telling are Mirage's comic book prequels and movie adaptation; triceratons are seen, utroms are mentioned, and the characters the Ancient One and the Ninja Tribunal make appearances. This all points to an interpretation that the movie can be viewed as extending from the 2003 show. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RossMay (talk • contribs) 17:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC).Reply

I realize that the connected yet not-in-the-movie material could be non-canonical, but I believe it is worth mentioning in the wikipedia article so readers are aware and can come to their own conclusion. Also I am aware of the Utroms and Triceratons originating in the Mirage comics, but felt that Shredder's game design and the existence of the cartoon-only characters points to connections with the 2003 series.

Not to mention the inclusion of Karai, and the fact that the NT:TNM article contradict this idea. Otherwise Tatsu would have led the Foot clan in this movie, replacing Karai. Karai's presence is a clear indication that this movie is set in the 2003 series universe, and not the movie universe.

Ignoring the video game, the comic tie ins and looking at just the movie, this makes sense. And Karai's line implying the return of the Shredder (Utrom shredder, not Tengu Shredder) foreshadows the return of Shredder in Turtles Forever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.230.113.242 (talk) 07:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's set in the same universe as the previous films. Period. It ignores The Next Mutation, but whether that was actually set in the movie universe was unlikely in the first place. (After all, the Shredder was already dead.) As for the inclusion of Karai as the leader if the Foot, she's a character first created for the Mirage comics, not the 2003 series; her use neither proves or disproved anything. oknazevad (talk) 00:54, 9 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Right, because people never change jobs or anything. And so what if Karai never appeared in a movie before? It's a debut if a character new to that continuity. You ignore the obvious, and rather intentional, continuity inclusions of the items from the first three films in the Turtles lair at the end of the film. Those were put there specifically to show that the film is in the same continuity as the live action films. oknazevad (talk) 19:04, 5 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Because they didnt treat it like a debut, they had her theyre, matter of factly like your supposed to know who she is and what she does which would mean it either follows the comics or the cartoon cause shes not in the movies.

The director had this to say.

"AV: How does your film fit into the Turtles universe? For instance, is it more of a continuation to the first three films or the latest TV series?

KM: You know, it’s funny. There’s so much you can do. There’s so much in the Turtles’ past, as far as adventures and stuff. So when we first started, we were trying to find what we were going to say – what was going to be lore and what wasn’t, for the movie. At the end of the day, we just realized, ‘Let’s just make the whole thing lore.’

Basically, they’ve lived all these adventures, and they’ve defeated all these villains. Now, they find themselves without direction, because they don’t have a common enemy to fight anymore. The movie became more about a rebirth of the heroes, instead of an origin story." http://animatedviews.com/2007/director-kevin-munroe-on-tmnt/

The question is. what do the credits say? and speaking of Aquila, this article currently spells it Aguila, as Patrick Stewart's character said it was at the beginning, correcting April's pronunciation of 'akila', but later on Stewart pronounces it 'Akila' anyway, and since Aquila means eagle, that's probably his name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 20:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

The credits say Santino but I still don't have any idea what that means. The TMNT video game names one of the bosses as a General Mono but he's not credited in the movie. As for Aguila, I believe that is truly his name as the Spanish for eagle is in fact "águila" rather than "aquila." Plus, I think that's how he's credited.

Currently reads: "As of two weeks ago Imagi Entertainment (the TMNT movie animation studio) informed Mirage Studios that there was a 50-50 chance of a CGI film sequel. Last week they upped the odds to 70-30 in favor of a sequel, as talks between Imagi and their distribution partners Warner Brothers and the Weinstein Group seem to be heading in a positive direction."

I want information about a sequel but this is not sourced and undated. What was two weeks ago when this was written won't be two weeks ago when it's read...

I was just going to remove it but maybe someone else can fix it?

I noticed this tag on the top of the page:

This article or section contains a plot summary that is overly long or excessively detailed compared to the rest of the article.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best guy for this job, but I would be willing to take on this task. All I ask is that when I'm done, someone else decide if I summarized it enough. I'll begin work right away. Larrythefunkyferret 04:30, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've finished. If anyone wiser than I am thinks that the issues in the tag have been addressed, would you please remove the tag? I don't feel right about doing it myself. Larrythefunkyferret 23:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

What's with all the links to articles like "legend", "horror (emotion)", etcetera in the plot section of the article? Doesn't seem very appropriate by wiki standards to have so many links to general articles like that.. Th 2005 (talk) 16:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why does the TMNT (film)#Voice cast section list them in this order? They're not alphabetical by the performers' names or the characters' names, and i doubt they're listed in order of who's most important to the plot or the order they first appear in the film. Is this the order the credits lists them? If they're in this order for a reason, the article should probably clarify that. Otherwise, we should rearrange the list in a more intuitive manner, most likely either starting with the Turtles (since the movie is named after them) or alphabetizing everyone by character name (based on the assumption that readers are more likely to wonder "Who voiced this character?" than "Which character did this person voice?")

Also, Ziyi Zhang redirects to Zhang Ziyi, and i thought the end credits used the latter. Probably best if this article matches how her name appears in the credits.
