Trivia
- All of the shorts are stand-alone with no connections to one another.[2]
- Each of the titles for each of the shorts have a word relating to "Gold", such as "Golden".
- Two of the shorts, "Gold Rush" and "Sweatin' to the Goldies," incorporate the ninja's Golden Legacy suits into the story.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, the canon status of these shorts is up to interpretation.[3] According to Chris Wyatt, "Golden Legend" is non-canon and "With one big exception, the Legacy shorts are just "what ifs."[4] When asked about which short is the big exception, Wyatt clarified that it was "Golden Hour."[5]
- The Prime Empire music is featured in the trailer.
- According to Chris Wyatt, they worked with different animation studios from around the world to make the short films.[6]
- "Golden Legend" was animated by Sun Creature Studio.[7]
- "Gold Rush" was animated by Taiko Studios.[8]
- Both "A Day in the Life of a Golden Ninja" and "Sweatin' to the Goldies" were animated by WildBrain.[9][10]
- "Golden Hour" was animated by CC Pixels Productions.[11]
- However, it has an intentional resemblance to WILFilm's animation in rigging, details, and lighting, as well as the flex.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, the musical piece for the trailer was recorded the day before the trailer was released.[12]
- Two shorts include fans' ideas.
- "Golden Hour" is based on a fan's idea, as part of beta testing for LEGO World Builder.[13][14][15]
- The idea of Clutch Powers being in a vanity project which starred, was produced by, funded by, and directed by himself came from a conversation between Joshua Deck and Tommy Andreasen.[16]
- This is similar to Marvel's What If...? series. Both are 2021 animated anthologies based on existing franchises, and both consist of episodes showing "re-imagined" or "spin-off" stories from the main story line.
- This series is also similar to Star Wars: Visions. Both are also "re-imagined" stories of their respective franchises, and are both collaborations between many different animation studios.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, "One of our thoughts with these was, that they would be great to inspire other creators. So, by all means go create!"[17]
- "Sweatin' to the Goldies" is the only short that does not have footage in the trailer.
- Tommy Andreasen posted a drawing of Wu and the Time Twins on his Twitter on May 8, 2021, which he never finished, describing that "next week would probably be a good time to do so," indicating that the penultimate short would focus on Wu's fight with the Time Twins.[18] However, it turned out that it was the final one instead.
