Where there mistakes on purpose?
 

I was just wondering if any one else notices mistakes in the original TMNT series?

Where these mistakes put in on purpose because there was at least 1 EVERY episode? Most often than not, its the wrong voice with the wrong turle or the Donatalo has a Red mask or something like that for a short scene.

There must be people on here who noticed that?

I know that there were mistakes.....don't know if they were intentional. Maybe fuel for the nitpoickers.....dunna.....

The episodes were rushed into production because of the TMNT'S popularity.

Cartoons tend to do goofs. It was funny and noticeable. The first voice flub ever was when April was going to run out of the turtles lair after thinking they commited the roberies and Don jumped to block her way and talked in Raph's voice when he said ARe you on current events lady, we just saved your life. This was in the VERY FIRST EP EVER, Turtle Tracks.

Yeah, I noticed those mistakes often. The funny thing is that I noticed that the new series made a similar mistake once. For one scene Raphael and michaelangelo were wearing each others masks.

I'm sure it's just the production team being a bit sloppy. I do always smirk a bit whenever a character talks with the wrong voice though. That seemed to happen all the time.

It's explained breifly here:

I can understand that mistakes would be easy to make as there are only a very few differences between each turtle. I just found it strange that EVERY episode has at least 1 mistake in. And even though I have seen very little of the new series, I have noticed 1 or 2 mistakes in the game animations too.

That is what got me thinking.

Its easier to change colours now as most cartoons are no longer cell animation but drawings scanned into a computer and then painted and tidied up. Changing a colour for a scene after a mistake has been noticed would take mins.

Picking out moments when a turtle has the wrong color mask on is just begging to be made into a drinking game. :lol:
The funny thing was, when I watched the DVD, I remembered each little goof even though I hadn't seen those episodes in years.
A lot of them focus on Raphael too....
In the second episode where they fight Bebop and Rocksteady topside, I think there's a sequence where three of them all have red masks. :D

I find the episode "Cowabunga Shredhead" to be one of the worst. There's just mistake after mistake in that episode.

Oh no! :tlol: You're all giving me the urge to drag out my 14 T-videos and start a "Spot all the mistakes you can" marathon. I'd be stuck in the house all day running it since it'd be hard to stop once I put the first video in! :tanime:

Also one of the most poorly animated in general if I remember correctly. :lol:

I crave pizza no more.....

Crap happens I guess... It could also be because they did not notice the mistakes when they finished the ep, or there were some production problems.

Yeah, you're always at the mercy of the studio when shipping stuff overseas.
Listen to the commentary on the Clerks animated series dvd for a good idea of how many mistakes happen during the animation process :lol:

*blink* Oh man... you're right! That would be funny to do, though. Someone should do that. Is there any out there?


My favorite, on the DVD of the old cartoon, is when there's five turtles and April in one scene. I believe it's two Leo's, two Raph's and a Don. And April.

:lol: Are you serious? :lol: I don't remember that. That's a major mistake! Five turtle!?! :lol:

The mistakes that stood out the most for me on the dvd had to be the mentioned part of Donatello stoping April, but being all too much like Raph, voice, choice of words and such. Then there was the part after Mikey escaped thanks to Krang...if I remember right it was Don as Raph again. The last one's in season 10...this one's long enough I'm surprised no one in the production phase caught it...

In the ep where they are helping the little boy...it starts out with Mikey being with the little boy, then it shows Raph (sai and all) and the others trying to keep the Globfather in his vehicle. Then it goes back to the kid and Mikey is magicaly replaced COMPLETELY by Raph (it wasn't just a color or voice error and Mikey was deffinetly Mikey in the same way before)...Raph and the kid are shown together for some time...then when they start runing off it's Mikey that's with the kid again. O.o And this isn't one of those times where Mikey and Raph could have just traded places either @.@

Well... cartoons of the 80's and early 90's era all had numerous mistakes. I mean, they were over seas, and they were rushed into production. Plus we didn't have the same technology.

And yes... the Turtles look the same. I was watching Invasion of thre Turtle Snatchers just yesterday, and Donatello had Mikey's Chucks for some reason.... dispite the fact that NO OTHER TURTLES were IN THAT SCENE!

Also, the animators weren't the only ones who made mistakes... check the cover to the video, "Pizza by the Shred." It's a small mistake, but the artist clearly forgot that Leonardo (who was painted as Mikey) had his sword visable on his back....

http://www.radixpub.com/tmntfiles/tmntdrinkinggame.php not too many "mistake" entries, though.

Oh yeah... I'm serious. And I rewound and watched that about four times to make sure. I'll have to watch again to say the exact episode, though...

It's very comon to this period where someone talks out of someone else's mouth. God, that cracked me up. They do it an awful lot in SMBSS and SMB3...... I can't remember it hapening on Turtles aside from the obvious Turtle Mistakes.

That was in the first episode, I think, after the TMNT fight the Foot Soldiers for the first time. Am I right?

Yes!! That's it. Thanks. :)

Oh wait...are they inside near the stairs at that point? I think I do remember that.
Oh goodie, another excuse to watch the DVD again. :D

On the cover for Turtles vs. The Turtle Terminator Donnie has a katana. He heh
