40 years of TMNT that doc should have been funded by Paramount who owns TMNT now. This is history and Paramount should have done more to back this project.

Wow, I always assumed Bebop and Rocksteady were creations of the cartoon creators. Great to see Eastman and Laird came up with those two also!

[TheLazyShell]

ARMAGGON existed in Pete's sketchbook THAT far back?! That's CRAZY!

Peter Laird has always been in it for the artistic vision first. It's nice to know he's always been like that from this footage. It's a nice reflection of his work on turtles later down the road before Paramount bought the farm.

This video is spectacular, it dates so wonderfully. I hope that sculptor can also make the other Punk frogs Rasptin and Atila, they would all be with those! because he sculpted Genghis and Napoleon. How great Kevin and Peter look in vintage playmate size, they could also make Granitor and those new characters look spectacular, even Snailcool could do it, greetings 👏🏻🇦🇷

I love how they strategize on how each Turtles should be their own unique color. Seeing that just made history for what made the Turtles special today.

This is incredible footage! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the full documentary.

One thing that's been omitted lately, is that the original colors for mikey and donnie were switched. Don would've had the skin color and mask color as the original mikey figure. And mikey vice versa.

I find it interesting how in those initial talks they're mentioning Leonardo being the one in red, but it makes sense. The original turtles all wear red, so it stands to reason that the leader would be the one to retain the color that all of them wore. But I also get why in the final version of the toyline it ended up being Raphael that kept the red, as red is a color associated with anger and hot bloodedness. Though ironically, this was an aspect of his personality that didn't make it into the 80s cartoon.

great behind the scenes TMNT content! I’m excited for their new project

[TrevorToonArt]

I think with the sprue thing they were talking about the vehicles being model kits and the parts being on sprue. GI Joe wouldn't have the weapons on the sprue until the early 90's and this interview was sometime around '87.

There’s absolutely no reason this should have been filmed but holy hell, seeing the actual moments of creation is INCREDIBLE!

[brucelugliArt]

It's incredible that this was recorded! As if they somehow knew that the Turtles were going to be the most popular characters of all time.

[HansLollo]

As someone who has been sitting in some pitch meetings in the entertainment industry, I can at least confirm that nothing about the format of these discussions has changed. The distributor is only interested in cash - and the people who pitch just want to create something cool.

[Cuppcreations]

I love those clips! I've always thought Peter was the one who was really invested in the turtles as characters. Kevin always seemed more interested in comics in general, and making fun stuff. Good combination for a partnership.

[adampoole]

While the kickstarter extras sound cool, the prices are ridiculous for the good stuff.. $90 for a book(ive gotten coffee table books for far less new ), $80 for 4 and a half inch figur, etc.. Yikes

[JurassicRod]

Disney need to take on board some of this info for how they've handled Star Wars and Marvel over the last 5 years or more. Kids want characters that stand out from each other and look cool. Not all in similar looking outfits or middle aged women in brown.

Interesting that they blamed the fall of MOTU on fantasy going out of fashion. Based on... a couple of fantasy lines ended? Most lines end eventually, and correlation does not imply causation. Of course marketing is more art than science and they probably weren't aware of Mattel's over-shipping issue that really ended the line. Anyway, fascinating stuff Dan! I wish there were archival videos like this for the origins of MOTU :)

[Jeremy-emp]

We need a direct follow-up to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, complete with practical effects and Turtle suits!

...the pocket full of pens on Peter is 100% spot on (even got them on the correct side)and I love it
