It has nothing to do with the main series, it's a separate special show aimed for little kids.

Kate Mulgrew cameo as

Spoiler:

Triceraton General Zera

So we've had Kate, Michael Dorn... can we get some Sir Patrick Stewart?

Although he was in the 2007 film with Nolan and Kevin.

I thought I recognized her voice so we have another voice actor from Gargoyles in TMNT

Was any one else bothered by the scientific inaccuracies of the dinosaurs ( such as a lack of feathers on T Rex and Raptors and Raptors being smart when they weren't intelligent animals). I know it's a special for pre school kids but I was still kinda bothered by the fact that they used Jurassic Park as a reference for science, although I really liked how Donnie mentioned the T-Rex had good vision. I still enjoyed it though and can't wait to see more.

Until someone manages to recreate a dinosaur, all information we have about dinosaurs is speculative. Yes we can look at currently existing animals and their traits and estimate what dinosaurs were like, but it's still guesswork at the end of the day, as it is with a lot of things.

Seeing as we had a load of horror actors in for season three, maybe they're getting all the sci-fi actors in for Half Shell and season 4?

Michael Dorn, David Tennant, Kate Mulgrew.

Anyone from Blake Seven or StarGate popping in?

Yeah, it's really annoying. Especially when franchises like Jurrasic Park did use at the time knowledge and information we had. But the general audiences mindset still sees Dinosaurs as we thought they looked like 20-30 years ago, and challenging that mindset isn't profitable, as Jurrasic World have just given up, and continues to use naked monster birds. But they did try to use prototype-feathers in JP3.

But, Jurrasic Park could easily use the books excuse and explain why the park's animals don't look like real-life Dinos. Something time travel stories can do...

Well...not really. I mean, the T-Rex was purple, buddy. How accurate did you think it was going to be?
But, yeah I really enjoyed it. Got a real good laugh
They were toooooo cute!!!

Does it take place in another universe? Like the 2003 and 1987 series?

No, it's just TMNT special 2D cartoon, aimed for little kids to promote the Half Shell Heroes Toy Line.

[Raph's Girl]

Raph *seeing the Stego*: "Is that a Spike-O-Don??"
Don: "It's a Stegosaur...."
Note: Rob Paulsen voices Spike the Stegosaur in the Land Before Time stuff

[TigerClaw]

I really hope this becomes a thing, I really enjoyed what they did with Half-Shell Heroes, and I think many of you would agree, That this should become its own series?

[lonewarrior20]

i really enjoyed it not to mention i think this is the first time ever that we've seen a female Triceraton in any tmnt universe.

[Jephael]

I really enjoyed this special. Kinda hope to see them write a sequel showing what happens with the TMNT, Bebop and Rocksteady in the future. I'll definitely be showing it to my nephew at some point.

Well, when it comes to time traveling into the future, It would be like the Turtles been missing all those years, so Shredder took over.
