    TMNT on the Anthology Series

    teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-5acb2fcb98c6e.png

    On the night of February 3, 1991, the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie made its network television debut as a special edition of The Magical World of Disney on Fox. This airing was specifically scheduled to build excitement for the next installment, The Secret of the Ooze.

    The movie was preceded by the intro below. However, in the first few seconds as the compass rose rotates up and down, we see an image of each Turtle. Then in the final seconds of the intro, we see the film's official logo, stacked word by word in ITC Machine font in front of the soundstage door after it closes on Roger Rabbit.

    After that intro, a pre-recorded skit features Walt Disney, Jr. greeting the viewers from the New York section of Disney/Fox Studios Theme Park, donning a bandanna and accompanied by theme park walkaround versions of the Turtles.

    After that, a quick sponsor billboard.

    Voiceover by Mark Elliott: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, part of The Magical World of Disney, is brought to you by Domino's Pizza: Nobody Delivers Better, By the Reebok Pump: Pump up and air out, and by Coca-Cola Classic: Can't beat the real thing!"

    Finally, the movie:

    Voted on the poll, but still gonna respond to this:
    I think RKO should get it because the original RKO did the old Dick Tracy serials/films, and it'd be like coming home/full circle for the franchise.

    Voted. And on where I answered on the final question, let's just say this can cover WB's crossover itch that the Berenstain Bears can't.

    1: That's subject to change.
    2: Good idea!
    3: See #1.
    3: I like the sound of that.
    4: As sad as this is, #1 is getting a third response.

    Disney's One Saturday Morning
    (Original format 1997-2003)

    For those wondering if Disney's One Saturday Morning existed in some form on Fox, you're in luck. The format was pretty much the same as OTL. But over time, the skits and interstitials wore out their welcome and were dropped by the conclusion of the 2002-03 season.​
    Click to expand...
    Thank you. I was wondering if that would happen.

    And having the skits like Manny the Uncanny and The Monkey Boys bow out in 2003, three years longer than IOTL's runs for those shorts, is a great butterfly in my opinion.
    OldNavy1988 said:
    It was around early 2003 that current Fox chairman David Hill decided to streamline Fox's on air look, patterned after the network's sports graphics from this era.

    An OTL example:

    Starting with the 2003-04 season, Fox's Saturday Morning block opens with the logos of each show displayed on the floating oval discs as seen above, accompanied by a voiceover.

    Sample for 2004-05:
    [Voiceover by Jim Cummings]: "Welcome to Disney's One Saturday Morning on Fox, home to Kim Possible, Casper and Molly McGee, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....and....Naruto!"

    The titles featured in the introductory bumpers rotate week to week, meaning you don't see the same variant two weeks in a row.

    Variant A: above
    Variant B: Dave the Barbarian, The Proud Family, Lilo and Stitch and Brandy and Mr. Whiskers
    Variant C: Fillmore!, Kim Possible, TMNT and Star Wars: Clone Wars​
    Click to expand...
    Of these three variants, I have to give the most applause to Variant A for showing the best of what Disney has to offer all at once.
