Notes
- Unlike the current CG-animated series on Nick, Half-Shell Heroes will be 2D-animated..
- Random House will also be putting out a Blast to the Past book this September, while Playmates will release new dino toys in the fall to coincide with the special.
Trivia
- Each of the turtles dino-buddies were chosen based on Playmates Toys' classic "cave-turtles" collection. As matter of fact, the dinos present the same color scheme from their classic toy counterparts.
- Oddly the classic collection cave-turtle Don wore saber-toothed tiger fur clothes and hat, and in the new Half-Shell Heroes toyline, Michelangelo is the one wearing it.
- ALthough the episode is set during the Jurassic period, most dinosaurs shown (Tyranossaurus Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops and Pteranodon) are from the Cretaceous.
- Only the Stegosaurus comes from the Jurassic.
