    1:23 knowing Shredder, he really farted in there to assert dominance in their van and to humiliate the Turtles, so I think the animation was made like that on purpose to suggest that 😅😂 being Shredder the main villain (in particular in the first season), he sometimes makes some weird poses and does some weird gestures in order to make the audience understand that he's evil (I recall some scenes in which he throws the middle finger around and makes the horns symbol with the hand, of course as a kid I didn't notice them at all but rewatching the old cartoons now, they are actually noticeable)

    @The Ultra Blader the animation mistakes like duplicated turtles and a lot of others are quite common since season 3 and after it, because starting season 3 they had to write and produce a lot of episodes (almost 50 I think in a single season), because they had to introduce new characters and plots in the show in order for the kids to be more willing to buy the toys, so after season 2 the quality of the story, drawings and animations of the show decreased drastically as the number of episodes were increased

    To be fair, the plotting, dialogue, and characterization of the first season of the cartoon was vastly superior to every season after it. Which is kinda like how the first movie's writing and direction are far better than that of every movie thereafter. Those initial efforts were great, and much more than one would expect from such a bizarre franchise, which is why they left such a lasting legacy, and are remembered so fondly today.

    The reason in both cases, too many critics, do-gooders and parents complained that the tone was too dark and the violence too strong for a kids show. So in both cases the production ordered those things to be toned down for the follow-up releases.

    I'm surprised that you didn't mention "Super Rocksteady and Might Bebop" which is almost completely filled with errors. There's a portion where the travel pod from the Technodrome skips frames and magically falls into a Dumpster which it was clearly going to miss. There's a scene where Krang has human-looking eyes with blue irises. There's the part where Shredder dances with the "super-mutants" and then immediately gets up and dances with them AGAIN. Those are just 3 amusing errors in that ep. There's another one in the ep where company CEOs are being hypnotized by Octopus, Inc. When the Turtles go to rescue Casey Jones, the entire shot is completely stiff with NO animation except a pan across. (I forget the name of that one.)

There are some hidden facts and details about the animation of the show, and references to classic movies, such as Kim and Ron’s flying car scene referencing Grease. I’m also performing a play that I wrote about Kim Possible on July 29.

Most of this was animated in some 3rd world country, and not in-house. The main thing they cared about was pumping them out. Quality animation didn't come until the 90s with the Nicktoons.
