Did You Know?
Trivia | In the original comics, all four turtles had red bandanas. For the TV show, TMNT creator Peter Laird decided to give each Turtle a different color to make it easier to tell them apart: * Leonardo has a blue bandana. * Donatello has a purple bandana * Raphael has a red bandana. * Michelangelo has an orange bandana. This color scheme became so popular it eventually became a staple of the TMNT saga. See more » |
Goofs | In many of the earlier episodes, a specific turtle's line would come out of the wrong character's mouth (i.e., Leonardo speaking with Raphael's voice). See more » |
