History Trivia / TurtlesForever

* ExiledFromContinuity: It didn't go unnoticed that the montage of dimensions didn't include ''Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation''. This is often attributed to Peter Laird's extreme dislike of the character of Venus, though it should also be noted that the rights to that show were tied up anyway due to Creator/SabanEntertainment having their various properties bought by Disney several years earlier, though Saban has since bought it back. The rights currently rest in Hasbro's hands.

** The 1987 incarnations of Shredder and Krang are voiced in the movie by Load Williams and Bradford Cameron. For ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime: Reshelled'' (released at the same time as ''Turtles Forever''), Scottie Ray takes over for Shredder while Creator/WayneGrayson (already voicing [[ActingForTwo Michaelangalo and Metalhead]]) fills in for Krang.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The voice cast of ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' were going to reprise their roles in this film. Unfortunately, [[ScrewedByTheLawyers due to union issues beyond anyone's control]][[note]]Union and non-union actors can't be in the same production, even if a non-union company has the money. The only way around this is to be financial core (which only Creator/SamRiegel and Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas were), or subject the 4Kids side actors to a Taft-Hartley 30 day union "trial" (which 4Kids likely already used up on ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' to get Creator/LaceyChabert, and would have on ''Anime/Pokemon3'' earlier for Creator/SeanConnery had that plan gone through)[[/note]], this was literally impossible. Instead, [[TheOtherDarrin more of 4Kids' in-house actors]] were used for the original show's characters.
