87 series Things we never noticed as kids

[leader in blue]

Hi I figured instead of lurking about, to actually post something I'm sure this has been discussed to death but Id thought I'd give my opinion since Im rewatching the 87 series that I never noticed please add ur thoughts too

1) all those mistakes holy cow did they not have someone supervising I never noticed all these mistakes as a kid the most popular being wrong voice coming out of the wrong turtle which is amazing to me cause they r so different u got sarcastic jerk, Techno babble, surfer dude and...

2) Leonardo's voice season 1 Leonard sounded like what I think a leader should heroic and strong but then after season 2 he sound like a pre pubescent little boy as a kid I always saw Leonardo as a strong leader but as a grown up he really is a whiney little boy he's still my fav and all but I see him in a different light

3) all those disgusting pizza combos were they pregnant or something peanutbutter and clam sauce ? really

4 Those odd moments between Raphael and Leonardo that seem to suggest they r really good friends like holding hands while walking down the street



and gazing into one another's eyes



there r a lot more examples on this through out the series

this is basically the 4 main things ive noticed as an adult

Pretty sure everyones noticed those things, except for the Leo/Raph one. You're seeing things, because they're not even holding hands.

[IndigoErth]

Kinda have to read into those, esp sans context of that image. I know that clip/gif looks odd, but agree with Snake and think it's just an oddity of the animation. (Though I'm not one for trying to read into things between the Turtles.)



You wanna see "good friends"...








Okay, Leo, you're getting kind of an uncomfortable "Meet you later?" vibe...







Bonus - this only looks wrong thanks to the gif...

No, let's keep it going, it's way funnier than the intentional "comedy".

Didn't notice that.

So that explains those new movies...

Things we never noticed as kids

But did you ever notice:

Wacky eyes...




Extra fingers...





Sudden reduction of gravity...




Unstoppable fangirl urges...




Leo calling B&R jackasses...

[leader in blue]

haha those r great guys


also u got to love the inconsistencies I just saw an ep where theyre all dangling from a plane



I love how Don Raph & Mikey r smiling like wheeee and Leo's like we r going to die!!

Mikey looses his grip and they all fall





then the turtle blimp pulls up being flown by....Donatello? huh?



(I apologize im sure this has been talked about over and over again but there r soooo many posts to go through and im just now rewatching this series so im finding all sorts of funny things I didn't notice as a kid)

Love that stuff. Clearly there is more than one Donatello. lol Although he did clone himself once, but not there. There's also the one where for a moment there are something like three or four Leo's in the van? Now that's just lazy coloring.

Another personal fave, though I don't recall what episode, is when the Turtles drive the van off of a bridge, and soon after April and Splinter are driving in it on the road.

I can understand animating Donatello when it's supposed to be Leonardo, but how can one confuse animating the Turtlevan when it's supposed to be the newsvan?

When I was a kid, I used to love playing "predict the coloring errors" with TMNT and similar shows. I actually got really good at it.

I don't know if that says more about me, or the shows...

I don't think it was intended to be the news van, April was at the lair when she and Splinter left (presumably to go look for the Turtles), with him saying, "Come with me!" so I just think they forgot that part of their own story. lol


edit: Figured out which it is. If you look up "New York's Shiniest" it's around 2/3rds of the way through.


Crazy how full of errors that series is/was, but adds to the fun of a rewatch now. lol Just not going to get much of that kind of stuff these days without the creators/animators faking it, which would suck.

Man I saw one error that was really bad from the animators I cant remember the episode I remember u see Raph Don and Mikey talking with eachother they were in water then u hear Leo's voice but u didn't see him they totally forgot to add Leonardo into the scene, aren't they listening to the voices as they animate were they like "Okay that's Raph, That's Don That's Mikey, don't know who this 4th voice is so we wont bother animating to it."

I got into the series in high school so I noticed it right away, but at the end of the first episode, "Turtle Tracks", April said she wants the Banana and Sausage Pizza. Anyone noticed that dirty joke as a kid?

[IndigoErth]

Didn't even notice until you just pointed it out.

[eskater]

Since the bandana mishaps from the first couple of episodes....I kinda knew as a kid there were gonna be some errors.

Two words I'll say: "possum pussies".

The thing about that scene is if you watch prior to the climax Don says he's going to get the Turtle Blimp therefore the Don hanging from the plane is the one that shouldn't have been animated.

To be fair Bill Wolf was in charge of so many episodes he was more concerned about making it to the finishing line than checking all animation errors. It's of course part of the charm of the show though.

[eskater]

I've heard from different places that the first couple of episodes where animated by Toei.....how awesome would it have been to have a Japanese animation house doing the turtles back then though?!
