TMNT cartoon discrepencies

darthsmozers · 01-26-2003, 05:31 PM

Hi all,
I'm sitting here watching a few episodes of TMNT, namely the episodes in the teens (13-19), such as Return of the Technodrome, Cat Woman from Channel 6, etc.

Anyways, I've noticed tons of mistakes, such as wrong mask colors, wrong voices, missing wrist bands, etc. Are these editing mistakes, poor quality, carelessness, or something else? Just wondering if you all know what I'm talking about.

I imagine most of them were just overlooked mistakes. The animators were probably rushing through and trying to get the cartoons finished, and just got careless with the colors.

**Karpo_007** · 01-26-2003, 05:36 PM

Yeah the show is a classic for those errors.

*Jephael* · 01-26-2003, 05:56 PM

Did you know they also reuse the same animation in some scenes? If you watch the episode "Rhino-Man", it's really easy to notice when they do that.

**Karpo_007** · 01-26-2003, 06:01 PM

No I didn't ever notice that...

*That Matt Guy* · 01-26-2003, 06:04 PM

Did you ever notice that in a lot of scenes, the Turtles aren't carrying any weapons, but the weapons magically appear in their hands seconds later?

**Karpo_007** · 01-26-2003, 06:08 PM

That is nothing unusual in that cartoon...

Yeah. But it always bugged me, even when I was a kid.

*Jephael* · 01-26-2003, 06:13 PM

yeah, it was almost as if their shells somehow concealed em.

**Karpo_007** · 01-26-2003, 06:13 PM

Well they belts had infite storage capacity too.

Maybe they really did have "storage shells" like the figures.

darthsmozers · 01-26-2003, 06:18 PM

And there were those stoage shell figures

Some scenes the turles look about a foot shorter than april, with huge heads, and sometimes they look the size of full-grown men. Heh.

oh, I just watched one where Krang is an ugly ugly dark pink, yuck!

Edit: Matthew, you beat me to it!!

Krang was always changing sizes and colors.

Normally Krang was abruptly the size of a football, but in his first appearance, he was friggin' huge!

darthsmozers · 01-26-2003, 06:42 PM

Haha I just watched the beginning of "The Ol Switcharoo", and as Don's pizza machine is about to explode, the guys hide under the table, leaving Splinter by himself! The thing explodes, then Splinter enters from another room hahah!!

It seems like in Casey Jones Outlaw Hero, Krang changed size like 5 times.

raphael90 · 01-26-2003, 07:08 PM

Krang was cool on his first appearance.

SHREDDER: "That's quite a brain you've got there Krang!"

KRANG "Of course it is! It's all I've got! *burp*"

As for the mistakes that really bugged me, I don't like it when they put the wrong voice to the wrong Turtle. Like on "Killer Pizzas", Leo pushed Shredder out of the way of the monster. Shredder yells at him but when Leo speaks, he's wearing red bands instead of blue.

i always liked how, lets say, donatello broke his staff on something, then a minute later its back to its good ole self! hehe

One of my favorite errors is in the later seasons they'd show Mikey twirling his chucks and then they'd show him again but this time he'd be using his grapling hook.
