Differences between TMNT on Blu and HD-DVD?
I swear I read somewhere over the last week that the HD-DVD was going to have some HDi interactive features that the Blu version was obviously not.
However, since I ran across that, I have not been able to find such info anywhere, and am beginning to wonder if it was a figment of my imagination. Has anyone read anything similar?

The releases are identical, save the regular DD track is DD+ on the HD-DVD. Both have a TrueHD track.
There is no HDi content on the HD-DVD.

Re: Differences between TMNT on Blu and HD-DVD?
Was anybody here a little dissapointed that the story was a little "tooooo" Saturday morning cartoonish?
Cause I know I was.
The Leo-Raph fight is top notch animation. Simply of the highest standard of rendering that I've seen.

I was hoping for something a little darker, but I enjoyed it for what it is. And I'll second the endorsement of the Leo-Raph fight. Best water rendering I've ever seen.

I have yet the time to watch this, but will probably watch it over the weekend with the grand kids.

Re: Differences between TMNT on Blu and HD-DVD?
I enjoyed it quite a bit - Hastings is selling the HD for 26.99, and I have some SD only friends interested in checking it out, so I will likely grab it instead of the Blu version. I enjoyed it quite a bit in the theater, especially the Raph as vigilante stuff and his fight with Leo. There is a little too much kiddie stuff, but there are a lot of great little references to the live action movies we watched as kids, like the Super Shredder helmet on th shelf at the end.

Yes, I was. I am a child of the 80s, loved the first one and didn't even hate the sequels. I was a little disappointed by the plot to be honest.

Re: Differences between TMNT on Blu and HD-DVD?
I haven't seen the movie but isn't it based off of a Saturday morning cartoon? I know there's comics (generally aimed at adults) and previous incarnations in animation and live action (aimed at kids) but this incarnation is based off of the new cartoon.

Re: Differences between TMNT on Blu and HD-DVD?
Not sure that anyone can say what the movie was supposed to be based on. There were comic books, Saturday morning cartoons during the 80s, three live action movies during the early 90s and probably a DIFFERENT Saturday morning cartoon now. So its sort of like Spiderman, Batman etc. Its based off of the "collective universe" that is the TMNT.
