Trivia

• The episodes include the instrumental version of "Misfortune's Keep."
• For unknown reasons, only the first three mini-movies have a title card in the beginning.
• Regarding these shorts, Tommy Andreasen said, "If I could erase them from existence I would as they are misleading erode the integrity of Ninjago in my opinion." All of the shorts that contain timeline and character errors should be considered non-canon.
  • Some tales involve present-day characters and modern technology even though it was established in the TV series that Nadakhan's crew (besides Sqiffy and Bucko) was marooned two hundred years ago, meaning the crew members' origins took place over two hundred years ago.
    • "The Tall Tale of Clancee" features Wu's Academy students and Principal Noble.
    • "The Tall Tale of Monkey Wretch" features an electric drill.
  • In "My Dinner With Nadakhan," Clancee states that Doubloon tried wishing his way out of his sentence after he was caught stealing, but in "The Tall Tale of Doubloon," he's transformed into his "two-faced" form before being given a chance to make any wish.
  • In the same episode, Clancee states that Dogshank wished to stand out, while in "The Tall Tale of Dogshank," she wished to win.
  • "The Tall Tale of Sqiffy and Bucko" shows Sqiffy and Bucko as pirates before they were recruited by Nadakhan, even though "Wishmasters" showed that they weren't pirates before Nadakhan recruited them.
  • "The Tall Tale of Flintlocke" is the only short to contain no explicit timeline or character errors.
    • When asked if the short could be considered canon for this reason, Tommy Andreasen stated that he hadn't watched it.
