For a deeper look into the the TMNT Anime, after this video go check out this other one where I really dive in to that version: ruclips.net/video/Tq4E3NPckJg/видео.html
If Disney got a hold of TMNT it would be as bad as star wars. Without Eastman, and Jon Favreau writing the scripts or have 100% creative control, it will be a dumpster fire
The most of this i dont know.Here in germany the TMNT was massive too,but we havent seen stuff like x-mas turtles or something like that from a few i knewed that is exist,but have never seen like the Anime turtles. Do you have a link for the short Films?
When it comes to the summer shorts the mecha turtles was my favorite because it's such a unique and out-there concept, especially with Mikey being their master. With how many variations of the turtles are out there, some having crossed over before, and the multiverse being a big trend right now, I hope we get a new TMNT crossover event at some point.
9:57 Animation and style of big muscular and more adult turtles from this summer short was simply one of the best I've ever seen it's such a shame they didn't pick up on it and produced more of it
I went to that concert in New Zealand, my friend Sam's parents bought me a ticket...to an 11 year old major turtle fan, it was an amazing experience...the turtles made references to things in my hometown and it blew my mind 😅
The concept itself and the time period .. I mean it really doesn't seem that weird now but think about it... Teenage mutant ninja Turtles. None of these words belong together. It's very weird stuff, and corporations know kids will make their parents buy anything if it has their favorite characters on it.
Wow. I remember that music tour. They came to my hometown and I begged my parents to go. I got a cassette tape instead but listened to it over and over. Great memory, thanks.
at least you had the chance. I lived in rural s.c. and my family rarely ecen took me to town. think little house on the prairie lol. I mean we lived in a brick house wkth heat and windo ac. but we were in the middle of nowhere and town was only maybe a 15min ride. comunbia the capital was maybe 30min and I barely saw thr town that was 15min away.
The Turtles are Ninjas, Ninja comes from Japan. The whole franchice since it's inception has been steeped in Japanese lore. The brand has always made constant references to Japanese culture. Over in Japan however... They see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and go "Hey you know what would make this show good, Power Rangers and Mechs!''
9:59-10:27 ...Wow. Looks pretty sick. I totally agree that a darker & more adult animated version of TMNT would be incredible; not necessarily as dark as the comic books, but maybe closer to the tone of Batman: The Animated Series for example...
I saw the Turtles at a Pizza Hut when I was a kid. I was a few feet away from them as they performed. It was insane and I was so excited. I listened to that album on cassette on repeat as well.
Our Friend Power 5 is probably the craziest. It's a South Korean movie where Ninja Turtles from space battle a race of Splinters from space, and the costumes are all based on the Playmates toys. It's like an acid trip. But less fun.
Holy shit... 25 years later and I finally find out what/where the Guardian Beast Turtle figures I had as a kid are from. Had no idea those two anime specials even existed, lol
I really wish they did more of those Summer Shorts. One of them was done by the creator of Invader Zim, after all. Surprised there's no mention of the next year's TMNT Team Up shorts, which were...well... they were cute enough, I guess. It was the same team behind Breadwinners, but they were fine in small doses. Nothing nearly as good as the Summer Shorts, which basically had me wishing each short became a limited series. I loved that Time Travel one, and that little jab at the Bay movies, only making the designs work. And you can tell it was the same team behind Rise, since they gave Raph that same jagged tooth poking out and the animation is similar enough.
Another great really odd and gritty version is the 4 parts comic Bodycount, by Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley, full of violence and gore, and one (not for children) that I really love.
I can't tell you how many times I watched the Coming Out of Our Shells Tour as a kid. I had the VHS and would watch it on repeat while I played with my collection of TMNT toys. I even distinctly remember playing with the metal armored turtles while watching it lol I recently rewatched it again and honestly? The music isn't half bad even today. Just sounds like decent 80's style rock.
You could only get the Coming out of their Shells soundtrack for a limited time at Pizza Hut and it was only on cassette. Loved a lot of the songs on there as a kid!
Holy crap, I remember that Blue Line movie. I grew up in LA in the 80's and 90's, I had that VHS and remember watching it. Damn, that was a completely forgotten memory lol.
I remember pestering my parents to go to pizza hut so I could get that cassette tape of their tour. They finally did, and I listened to it endlessly for a long time.
I knew the Christmas special was on this list before even starting this video. I remember watching it when I was a kid. Even as a kid I couldn't stop laughing at it.
Great video! It's funny; in the "Operation Blue Line" video, Donatello and Michelangelo are wearing each others' torso sections - it's not as noticeable on Mikey, but that brighter green on the neck/etc of Donnie is just nuts! lol
Some of them not all of them are the most bizarre and stupid things I've ever seen out of the TMNT franchise and I don't know why they even exist at all
A friend and I are trying to make our own TMNT story to eventually turn into a show. That short of them going through time and that ending scene with the badass art style would be SICK for it, though the designs of the turtles themselves would differ.
@@sockthesaduofastudent5096 Thanks. It kinda started as a hypothetical idea, but I started putting WAY too much thought into it and now we're just like "Eh, what the heck. Let's do it."
I’m also working on my own story just for the hell of it, and although the style looks like a cross between mine and ROTTMNT’s art styles, I can’t help but get mesmerised by that scene’s art style. I even turn mine human and send them to April’s high school like in the other short, but I could never stomach through it because of their designs.
The character Gridlock sounds more like a Captain Planet villain. Than a tmnt villain. I also remember those tmnt shorts. They were awesome. I remember seeing one short where Bebop and Rocksteady were spoofing Bevis And Butthead
I remember lots of food and toy commercials in the early 1990's with the cartoon that looks alittle different in cereal and the real live with toys. I also remember Robot Chicken having looks of them and tbe series MAD had different looks too. The Fairly OddParents episode Channel Chasers had them look like cows call Adolescent Genetically Altered Karate Cows.
For the sake of family-friendly decency, I will not mention by name the Ninja Turtle film reviewed by the Cinema Snob a few years back. It's version of the TMNT is certainly, uh, unique.
The anime turtles are pretty funny, reminded me of Ronin Warriors. The turtles singing around the Christmas tree, had me almost spitting a large sip of water out. Leo sounds weird as f lols.
I had the super turtles toys. I didn't have all of them, but I remember having Raph. I also still own the VHS of the "Turtles Coming Out of Their Shell".
I never watched the Tmnt Anime but I owned the toys. I thought they were so cool but didn’t understand how they changed though. Also the metal line. I had those toys as well [+]
Thank you. I've been looking for the Green Grey Spongesuit Sushi Turtles since my childhood. I tried looking for it again, but couldn't remember the name.
So, according to that Mystery of the Cliffs thing, Splinter (Who was possibly a Japanese Man. Don't know if they followed cartoon or movie canon.) had a ancestor who lived in the Arizona desert in the 1500's? Before the United States was founded, when the region was under control by the Spanish???
This is so weird. I have a vivid memory of going to the coming out of their shells concert, but it never came to my country. I thought it was the most boring thing ever though. I must have gotten to see a recorded version or something.
I remember the Christmas special I even got the power ranger special but anyway I like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Christmas special even have it on VHS in the still walks got to love Jamieway back in the day I even rock and roll Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but that's all the ones that I remembered I think it's pretty cool to go back of all the ones that I missed I didn't know about
To be honest I feel the same I would have loved to see the last Tmnt short turn into animated series matter of fact it should have been the rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I have the first one and the toys from the super mutants one, but mine didn't transform, they were just the post transformed versions. Never knew where the toys were from.
Okay, I LOVE The Coming Out of their Shells concert… LOVED… but the Christmas special made even me groan in pain. The anime though… wait, was that animated by the same animation studio that did Samurai Pizza Cats?
There's a short-mini- RUclips show,that was live action. The trailer had ralpheal beating up this group of foot soldiers,who were beating up April. Always wondered what happened to that
I'm old😭 I remember most the body suit ones because between Me and my cousin we were _super_ obsessed as little kids tho I lost half my interest by time mmpr came around lol tho that was me abd his bonding thing.
We used to drive to Paterson NJ on the weekends to visit my mom's friend Armando, his kids had the turtles on tour concert VHS, and we used to watch the shit out of it, years later before the days of RUclips I thought of it as some sort of fever dream, lol!
The future pilot looked cool af. Kind of looks like they were going fir a Batman:Beyhond sort of vibe. It would have been rad af to get ninja master Mikey, js.
And as everyone forgets the PPV Cartoon ninjaturtles movie that explains how the turtles almost got trapped in the X zone with the technodrome.... but anothertime

"is my channel garbage and desperate for content, let me know in the comments"
The Christmas music is played every year and me boyo loves it
The most of this i dont know.Here in germany the TMNT was massive too,but we havent seen stuff like x-mas turtles or something like that from a few i knewed that is exist,but have never seen like the Anime turtles. Do you have a link for the short Films?
Sentai style tmnt yeah I'm impressed
Super mutation and there always be surprising adaptations of established characters
When it comes to the summer shorts the mecha turtles was my favorite because it's such a unique and out-there concept, especially with Mikey being their master.
With how many variations of the turtles are out there, some having crossed over before, and the multiverse being a big trend right now, I hope we get a new TMNT crossover event at some point.
Same concept of Michelangelo sensei is just too cool to pass!
9:57 Animation and style of big muscular and more adult turtles from this summer short was simply one of the best I've ever seen it's such a shame they didn't pick up on it and produced more of it
YES
I got a feeling that they kinda got it from the Bay TMNT universe. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@haku-chan9065 yesssss and it’s beautiful ion care I loved those movies 😭💯
Ikr? Even raphael design is amazing bro i want a serie with that style of the ninjas
I mean, it's basically the 2003 turtles but if it was made now instead of then. The more buff and serious type of turtles.
I went to that concert in New Zealand, my friend Sam's parents bought me a ticket...to an 11 year old major turtle fan, it was an amazing experience...the turtles made references to things in my hometown and it blew my mind 😅
Why are the turtles so prone to off-model out-of-left field content?
Cause they're giant humanoid ninja turtles so it was kinda inevitable
Because the creators would cash any check handed to them.
Them and the Simpsons.
The concept itself and the time period .. I mean it really doesn't seem that weird now but think about it... Teenage mutant ninja
Turtles. None of these words belong together. It's very weird stuff, and corporations know kids will make their parents buy anything if it has their favorite characters on it.
Oh god, I had the TMNT: Coming Out of their Shells stage show on VHS when I was a kid. I had forgotten all about that until you dredged it back up.
Wow. I remember that music tour. They came to my hometown and I begged my parents to go. I got a cassette tape instead but listened to it over and over. Great memory, thanks.

They see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and go "Hey you know what would make this show good, Power Rangers and Mechs!''
The SNL skit, when the turtles were older and lifes been rough, was super funny. You should of included that one.
9:59-10:27 ...Wow. Looks pretty sick. I totally agree that a darker & more adult animated version of TMNT would be incredible; not necessarily as dark as the comic books, but maybe closer to the tone of Batman: The Animated Series for example...
Not to mention Donnie has the same voice actor as Robin from teen titans in the specific short your talking about
I saw the Turtles at a Pizza Hut when I was a kid. I was a few feet away from them as they performed. It was insane and I was so excited. I listened to that album on cassette on repeat as well.
That pickle commercial I never saw had me rolling! lolol

i love jhonen vasquez's versions of the turtles!! i always love his work, and combining that with my favorite thing (tmnt) is just so cool
Those Nickelodeon shorts were awesome. My favorite is the one where they turn into humans and go to school with April.
i had a ninja turtles toothbrush holder that said something like "dont forget to shut off the water while you brush your teeth dude kowabunga!"
Wow, I've been in the fandom for some 8-ish years and this is somehow my first time hearing about the Green-grey sponge suit sushi turtles!
I still got the vhs of the coming out of our shells special. I loved it as a kid.
Another great really odd and gritty version is the 4 parts comic Bodycount, by Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley, full of violence and gore, and one (not for children) that I really love.
I remember watching the TMNT summer shorts coming out, I honestly really liked them!
Operation blue line actually uses costumes made to promote the announcement of the playmates line, quite cool
I can't tell you how many times I watched the Coming Out of Our Shells Tour as a kid. I had the VHS and would watch it on repeat while I played with my collection of TMNT toys. I even distinctly remember playing with the metal armored turtles while watching it lol

@@matthewscorner2990 yeah I've been working on different scripts for 4 years now. It's always cool to just go for it
Awesome I am working on creating my own successful studio and want to produce my own version of the TMNT as well @Mathew Corner
I’m also working on my own story just for the hell of it, and although the style looks like a cross between mine and ROTTMNT’s art styles, I can’t help but get mesmerised by that scene’s art style.

yes i have seen some of them

13:11
I would give *_ANYTHING_* to be a fly on the wall when this advert was pitched.

I also remember Robot Chicken having looks of them and tbe series MAD had different looks too. The Fairly OddParents episode Channel Chasers had them look like cows call Adolescent Genetically Altered Karate Cows.
5:04 Best part of the Coming Out of Their Shells Tour was Shredder roasting the audience
The Turtle Multiverse is weird
I love the Disney Turtles Design. They are so cute.
i remember a lot of this, but DEFINITELY remember the ridiculous xmas special
Love you’re videos! Go Ninja! Go Ninja! Go!
For the sake of family-friendly decency, I will not mention by name the Ninja Turtle film reviewed by the Cinema Snob a few years back. It's version of the TMNT is certainly, uh, unique.
The anime turtles are pretty funny, reminded me of Ronin Warriors. The turtles singing around the Christmas tree, had me almost spitting a large sip of water out. Leo sounds weird as f lols.
The armor from the second anime episode were ripped off from Saint Seiya, which Ronin warriors also ripped off.
It’s crazy seeing the anime. I had the toys only but it’s just a mind trip down memory lane while also seeing something new. Childhood is awesome [+]
I had the super turtles toys. I didn't have all of them, but I remember having Raph. I also still own the VHS of the "Turtles Coming Out of Their Shell".
Thanks for the list. Much ❤ as always
DON'T WISH ABOUT DISNEY OWNING NINJA TURTLES
Well you don't have to worry; they're still owned by Nickelodeon.
I never watched the Tmnt Anime but I owned the toys. I thought they were so cool but didn’t understand how they changed though. Also the metal line. I had those toys as well [+]
I’d like to see an Anime version of TMNT. Or at least an anime like TMNT series made by Studio Mir like in that one Nick short
Ones I knew about... 1,2,3, 5 , 8. Huh cool. Learned some stuff today :)
Maybe someday I'll run into TMNT cosplayers with costumes just as exquisite at comic con.
Disney would've ruined the franchise like they did to Star Wars film franchise
Thank you. I've been looking for the Green Grey Spongesuit Sushi Turtles since my childhood. I tried looking for it again, but couldn't remember the name.
I just love how tmnt fans make they own designs in the community it so awesome tbh
Fun fact there was a petition on Change for Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles to be a official tv series.
Fun fact the creator of the ninja turtles has confirmed that every version of the turtles are canon
There was one version of the turtles that I wanted to hear about the turtles from the cover of turtles in time
the summer shorts were awesome, especially the one Jhonen Vasquez did!
At 13:14 I thought "U Got That Somethin'" was gonna play while that version of Raph did the Ricardo dance LOL
So, according to that Mystery of the Cliffs thing, Splinter (Who was possibly a Japanese Man. Don't know if they followed cartoon or movie canon.) had a ancestor who lived in the Arizona desert in the 1500's? Before the United States was founded, when the region was under control by the Spanish???
I actually liked that TMNT Anime; it's pretty good
This is so weird. I have a vivid memory of going to the coming out of their shells concert, but it never came to my country. I thought it was the most boring thing ever though. I must have gotten to see a recorded version or something.
I love your videos dude! 👍🏻🐢
……Also my fave is #7
I’m going to bed !! That line kills me so much 😂🤣😂😂🤣
havent watched this channel in years
As a kid, I had an audio tape of the Coming Out of Our Shells Tour. And I wore it out. I think I still have the Pizza Hut poster somewhere...
Keep up the good work man I love all your Ninja Turtle videos my favorite ninja turtle is Raphael
This video does a lot to disabuse me of the notion that the 90s were a golden age of kids tv.
The tmnt franchise is the best ever made period.
Change my mind
Nah. The Battletoads franchise is the greatest franchise known to man imo. 🤣
This was great! And it’s all on RUclips I can’t wait to watch all this wowed stuff :D
I remember the Christmas special I even got the power ranger special but anyway I like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Christmas special even have it on VHS in the still walks got to love Jamieway back in the day I even rock and roll Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but that's all the ones that I remembered I think it's pretty cool to go back of all the ones that I missed I didn't know about
To be honest I feel the same I would have loved to see the last Tmnt short turn into animated series matter of fact it should have been the rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
i remember the disney turtles! i have a photo when I was 6 with them. (we're talking like 1991)
9:25 let’s go Michelangelo as the next splinter
4;:45 The “concert” turtles outfits were actually kind of cool,but....that GOD AWFUL “shredder” outfit though.....WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?? 😵😵😑😑
Wow. Born 12-11-83...
I grew up with ninja turtles & I never heard of or seen anything on this list.
WOW!!
Wow 😮
I have the first one and the toys from the super mutants one, but mine didn't transform, they were just the post transformed versions. Never knew where the toys were from.
Those short stories all of them need to to be made into its own show.
I just painted a huge Foot Clan logo on my door and TMNT is showing up in my RUclips :) thanks nsa
I love this guy so much when or if he has kids love him so much ❤
Okay, I LOVE The Coming Out of their Shells concert… LOVED… but the Christmas special made even me groan in pain.
The anime though… wait, was that animated by the same animation studio that did Samurai Pizza Cats?
Baxters HIGH PITCHED LAUGH… I remember that actually made his mic pitch off really badly. XD
There's a short-mini- RUclips show,that was live action. The trailer had ralpheal beating up this group of foot soldiers,who were beating up April. Always wondered what happened to that
I went and saw the coming out of their shells tour live. It was pretty badass to a 9 or 10 year old me.
I Didn't Even Know That Disney Used The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Before. Although, Mikey Did Crossover with Some Disney Characters Before.
I actually got to see the disney turtles too dont remember alot about it but it wasnt very long
oh my god, the pickle commercial almost made me fall off my chair lol.
Turtles transforms into wolverine
I'm old😭 I remember most the body suit ones because between Me and my cousin we were _super_ obsessed as little kids tho I lost half my interest by time mmpr came around lol tho that was me abd his bonding thing.
As a New Zealander
Idk what my country was thinking with that one
That show was fucking amazing, one of my favourite childhood memories tbh
@@JimmyCaravan I was born in 2002
But I kinda grew up with all the turtles in a way and I remember hearing about this but I never checked into it
I remember the anime ninja turtles being in english
We used to drive to Paterson NJ on the weekends to visit my mom's friend Armando, his kids had the turtles on tour concert VHS, and we used to watch the shit out of it, years later before the days of RUclips I thought of it as some sort of fever dream, lol!
A show like 10:19 would be so freaking good😭💯
Wow I love ur content
Seem like the 90's were the platinum age for TV
The future pilot looked cool af. Kind of looks like they were going fir a Batman:Beyhond sort of vibe. It would have been rad af to get ninja master Mikey, js.
Coming out of our Shells! WHOA WOHHH OOOH!!! OUT OF OUR SHELLS!!!
Thanks you’ve made my Christmas list 10x longer lol.
Okay not 10x but it is longer now
The 'Christmas' and 'Turtle Tunes' ones. Just something unnatural about those toothy emotionless faces that bugs me.
The Summer Shorts are awesome!
And as everyone forgets the PPV Cartoon ninjaturtles movie that explains how the turtles almost got trapped in the X zone with the technodrome.... but anothertime
Dude I had ALL The Metal Turtles toys. They were pretty awesome
