Details on the Nickelodeon TMNT Show

Whilst I was away from my desk, an e-mail went out to those of us who attended the TMNT fan event last week, allowing us to talk about what we saw.

Since Rose (of the NinjaPizza blog) totally beat me to the punch by a mile on this one anyway, I will defer you to her masterful write-up rather than hold up the flow of information from you any longer!

The Nickelodeon TMNT Fan Event

The green curtain has lifted. And as promised, I am ready to talk about what we’ve all been so secretive about for the last few weeks. However there is a ground rule. While I am happy to talk about the event that transpired today, I cannot and will not discuss any particular elements of what we saw, or how I felt about specific elements of the material that was shown.

Today, Nickelodeon hosted a fan event at their Burbank CA animation studio for a small group (about 20) of fans that they hand selected from various sources. As I want to get this information out as quickly as possible, I will get down to brass tacks about the event. Our schedule went like this:

-We arrived at about 9am, where we were served an ala carte breakfast.

-We were then taken to a large decorated conference room where we introduced ourselves and were introduced to the Nickelodeon Executive Team.

-Next we took a guided tour of the entire studio.

-We then returned to the conference room where we screened an animatic of a pilot episode (essentially storyboards with voiceovers).

-Playmates made a presentation about their new toyline and showed a large cross section of the first wave of figures, vehicles, and playsets.

-After the toy presentation we returned to our seats and observed a live reading of part of a script; meaning the voice actors were in the room with us, reading from scripts. This included the voice talents of Rob Paulsen and Jason Biggs.

-Lunch/Social Hour

-We were broken up into small groups to discuss our feelings and opinions about everything we had seen today (this was the focus group portion of the event)

-We ended the day with a Q&A session with the writing and production team.

Again, while I will not give any particulars about content, I will say that the event was amazing. I have never seen a company go through so much effort to involve their fanbase with a product.

As for how I felt about the content and products, I will say that I was impressed with everything I saw today; and for the first time in a long time I will be buying the toys and watching the show because I am genuinely interested; as opposed to simply feeling obligated to do so.

Our boys are in great hands with Nickelodeon, my brothers and sisters.
