TvShowsOnDVD.com has given us our first look at the cover art for the upcoming Tv movie and a few details about the release.
The recent telefilm, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Forever, comes to DVD on August 24th from Nickelodeon and distributor Paramount Home Entertainment. This TV movie served as the post-series finale for the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where the modern Turtles crossed dimensions and met the Turtles from the original ’80s series! Poking gentle (and loving) fun at the differences in the styles of the shows, we also see how these incarnations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles must fight together for survival against their ultimate enemy, with the ultimate plan for eliminating ALL of the Turtles. And we DO mean ALL of them!
Information that these studios have provided to retailers show that the DVD will be a single-disc release, running approximately 70 minutes long, and presented in full screen video. We know fans are curious about widescreen home videos for this production, and even high-def Blu-ray Disc releases. We can only say that the studios are ONLY announcing a full screen DVD here. The cost for this title is $16.99 SRP, but you can pre-order it from Amazon at a discount using the button link below. Audio format for this has not been revealed, nor extras (if any). It is, however, going to be closed captioned.
Mikey’s two cents: While I am happy that this is getting released, I’m not happy that they didn’t use the amazing poster art for the box art and that it is not in widescreen. Also this is the tv edit and not the 78 minute uncut version.
I love how Donatello’s bo is reflecting light. They musta thought ‘Everyone’s weapon has a wee glint on it, bar Donatello’s. Let’s chuck in a wee shiney bit right there.’ You don’t really get what Turtles Forever is about, with that cover, which is ashame.
Oh, it’s about time! It’s really too bad they didn’t use the extra 8 minutes… perhaps some of the cut scenes will be on the dvd as well?
I, for one am absolutely thrilled to hear Nick is releasing this on DVD. I loved TF, and watched it every time it played on television. If this DVD sells well, maybe that will bode well for the fifth movie that was rumored to be in production before Nick bought out the franchise. Here’s hoping!
Rejoicing in the day,

i find it so stupid that they use plain artwork for the cover, that it isn’t widescreen, and it isn’t the full version.
the idiots releasing this obviously don’t care and are just cheap. and really, isn’t it more expensive to make it fullscreen since they’d have to cut it down and make sure they don’t cut off anything important since the movie was made for widescreen?
well i guess i shouldn’t be surprised since money and not quality is all that matters to these people.
