Goofs:

Factual errors: In the episode "Enter The Rat King", the turtles are climbing up the Channel 6 building, Donatello says "I wish we had those anti-gravity boots from episode 6." He was referring to the episode "Sky Turtles." But Sky Turtles was actually episode 23. Episode 6 was "Return of the Shredder" which did not feature anti-gravity boots.

The Best Childhood Remembrance!

I watched this almost all the time when I was a kid. Seeing the Foot Soldiers, Krang, Shredder, and everyone else was great. I can still picture it all. Too bad that it isn't airing anymore. At least videos are made, so you can enjoy the turtles all over again.
