| - The 2003 TMNT TV series was produced by 4Kids Entertainment, and Mirage Studios, which co-owned rights to the show, and animated by Dong Woo Animation. The series migrated to The CW4Kids in its final season after 4Kids's contract with Fox ended. Nickelodeon now owns the rights to this and any future Turtles series. Nickelodeon broadcast the series occasionally on their channel and Nicktoons normally during marathons for the TMNT series.
- Before creating the current 2003 series, Mirage pitched an idea for a different series to Warner Bros. The series would be aired either on The WB or Cartoon Network. The style of the art from the proposal was more cartoony than the current show's style. Ultimately, Warner Bros. passed on the show, making way for the 2003 show on Fox. However Cartoon Network would also end up airing earlier episodes of the show. Early artwork shows the Turtles, Splinter, April O'Neil, and Casey Jones as the show's heroes. Among the villains are the Shredder, Baxter Stockman, and the Triceratons.
