The mistakes are fun to spot! They're fun to laugh at too if they're really good ones like that one someone said about Splinter talking with Raph's voice!

There's a reason for the mistakes. It's called outsourcing for cheap. You get what you pay for. It's just recently where the Korean animation studios have grown and become proficient enough to eliminate these mistakes.

Batman: The Animated Series was the first to demand a higher quality of animation from the overseas studios. It and the Disney Afternoon's Gargoyles ushered in a new era of good animation. So much so, that the X-men series ended just because of all the struggling they did with AKOM to get decent episodes. They chose to quit rather than to keep up the fight. (B:TAS dropped AKOM as an outsource studio after two episodes. Dong Woo ended up giving them the best work and was a favored studio.)

However, within a couple years the errors and mistakes will be just as bad as they were in the 80's. With greater proficiency comes greater cost. The studios start raising salaries and wanting more money.

TV animation right now (and a lot of computer animation too) is slowly being outsourced to India where the studios are at the same level as they were in Korea in the 1980's. In fact, the Korean studios themselves are already starting to outsource to India what the US outsources to them.

So the number of fewer mistakes in the new series is more due to Fox being willing to fund expensive skill and experience over cheap incompetence.
