  1. There was a ton of links I wanted to put in the description so I ran out of space. Here's the remaining links to extra info/sources of info. Sidenote, I got the gender of the kid's sibling in Cartoon All-Star's wrong. He had a little sister not a little brother. Didn't rewatch it for the video, probably should've so I wouldn't have made such a mistake. Oh well. Sorry about that.

  2. I actually learned about a lot of things here for the first time that I never would've expected (especially most of the cancelled stuff! I knew there were some scrapped pitches and concepts but DAMN), so easily the best TMNT iceberg video I've seen, and I bet ever made, so great job, my good sir!
