Why is "The Lost Queen of Atlantis" episode so shaky?

Anyone notice the episode is shaky most of the time?

Not sure if it was like this on the original air date or if it's due to the age of the episode.

What season? I got all the tmnt cartoons so I can check to see if I have a shakey version too. I dont recall any episodes being shakey...

You talking about the video quality on the DVD or the merits of the actual plot?

To be fair if it was about the plot he could have named any of about 100 episodes

I think I vaguely remember the shakiness he's referring to.

It was the 9th episode on the "Vacation in Europe" season. It's the one where April is mistaken for a queen. The screen shakes up and down every now and then. It's not distracting, but you will notice it if you look very closely, especially when April goes into a shop and talks to a merchant.

you sure it's not cause of some earth quake type thing going on? Did you hear any crashing or moving sounds before/during the shaking happened?

No earthquakes. It could be the way it was made back in the early 90s. Some old cartoons have that "moving camera" thing going on back then.
It's hard to explain. Just think of Man of Steel where the camera man has trouble keeping the camera still while focusing on a character.

The Euro vacation episodes were made on a lower budget and have some of the worst animation of the series. Whoever they outsourced those episodes too did it cheaply.

Also the sound quality is oddly off in that episode, like you hear too much static when the characters are speaking. April especially sounds rather weird in that ep (and not talking when she's possessed), like her voice isn't coming from a recording.
