Finally watched it....he did miss some of the more obvious flubs. I'll mention an episode and you tell me what he could have done: A THING ABOUT RATS!

Only logic I can find is that maybe they were only allowed to draw a "big" cleavage line if her jumpsuit was "zipped up" and they were able to sneak in the jumpsuit "zipped down" if they didn't draw a cleavage line? That always bothers me, not so much the inconsistency in size but how is it even possible for so much of her chest to be shown without a hint of a cleavage line. Re-reading that makes me sound perverted but it just looks anatomically wrong and this is the OT we're talking about

This is not anatomically impossible. In simple terms, zipping squishes them together, unzipping does not. You have to be squished together to have a cleavage line. Unless the big boobs are fakes and don't move......real ones just don't work that way.

I can't believe I just responded to this but take it from me.....I know what I'm saying. I've been "blessed" since I was 11 or so.

that just made me laugh, katie....

and I can't believe I am commenting on that here...?!?!

It's nice to know any thread can deteriorate to discussion of boobies.

*Weapon X* · 05-31-2011, 08:42 AM

I thought most of his choices were funny and that's what the video was really about.

The skeleton is pretty creepy though.

I actually thought there was something wrong with my DVD while watching "Turtle Terminator", when all the still shots came.

There are numerous times in the show when the animation seems to freeze up, the most notable example I can think of is in "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X," when Tragg and Granitor start shooting at the turtles/April/Neutrinos at the video arcade and we hear laser blasters without seeing anything coming out of their guns.

Not having watching the VHS tapes in years, I cannot confirm whether or not this is a problem with the DVD or (most likely) just the way it was made.

Oh, yes, that final little bit with everybody in the van. Ugh... shame on you, Fred Wolf Films!

*sdp* · 05-31-2011, 09:19 AM

I'm going to assume that the "skeleton man" at the end is just a prop/puppet and not an actual man, kinda disappointed it was the last one since it wasn't an animation error but it was still worth a laugh, and when the still frame is paused the skeleton is indeed a bit creepy. I propose we should have one of those never works online petition to bring back skeleton man for Nick's TMNT.

You know, as simple as that is it works perfectly in the OT universe and from now on will be my official in-universe explanation of such animation errors. I really like it.

Well the ones I'm talking about usually fall very close to the TV Trope, AbsoluteCleavage. I don't have a screenshot though, but yeah its especially bad in one episode were you can see too much of her chest and just looks odd.

I'm pretty sure it's an across the board error, as it's in the copy of The Epic Begins I have.

It is, I happened to watch the "Hot Rodding Teens" VHS recently and its there. It's forgivable though, because the following battle scene is one of the best in the series.

I must have missed it..from what time frame to what time frame am I looking at?

Coming today, look for the first in a series of videos..The Master Mistakes file and voice list for the original series..

Something I started cataloging with NTN ten years ago is come to a completion..and it'll be on youtube

Approximately 17:30 - 22:00 in the running time. I'm surprised how many fans seem to miss this.

I don't think a low animation frame rate can be considered a mistake

Glad to see this theory might actually gain some legs! I try to be humble, but I can't help but think that the "ninja trickery" theory is a brilliant contribution to Old Toon fandom by Jester and myself.

Hmm... I guessing you haven't quite noticed it yet?

Other than the usual stuff of a big black random blotch appearing, Don switching places a few times when he's not supposed to be there, and April's new A Cup, nope..

Aw come on, Neil, a few times?

*sdp* · 05-31-2011, 04:21 PM

I'm normally a hater of all red bandannas but it actually felt pretty cool to see Leonardo with a red bandanna attack Shredder. Anyone else wish that 2k3 would have had an intentional animation error as a homage to the OT?

I'm not a hater of it, so I thought that was awesome. Gonna have to make a gif out of it for AndrewNDB. I don't wish for 2k3 to have had an intentional error, but it would've been cool if they wore all red masks to try and trick Casey or something. That woulda been a neat kickback to the comics.

*Jephael* · 06-01-2011, 11:56 AM

I liked that countdown, but I can't believe he didn't reference the mistake in "Turtle Tracks" where there were 2 Leonardos and 2 Raphaels. That was like the most famous mistake ever, and it was in the very first episode no less!

They did in the episode where Splinter is telling April their back story and he's introducing each of the Turtles and they all do cool moves with there weapons, except Mike who hits himself in the head; but they are all wearing red bandannas.

@ oldmanwinters:
I always was amazed at three scenes in 'hot rodding teenagers from dimension x':1. in that fight scene in front of the arcade the circular motion into the camera of that torpedo...man that always stuck out for me as a great piece of animation..was quite charmed when I saw those comming back in the 2k3 series 3rd season finale 'exodus' and of course again used in the great 'turtles forever'...

2.when general traag stes the atomic wheather maker(or what thats gadget's name was) free, it rises and rises into the sky and then it seems to stop in midair and starts sending out these waves...great!
3.lastly when leonardo destroys that thing in the end flying down with his katana striking it in two pieces and then he falls and we see the weather changing while he is falling down to earth...'long whistle' that was amazing, man...
but there were many amazing things happening visually in the first short season...
