Synopsis
After spending the night helping Bob sleep through his bad dreams, Snook is so tired that he forgets he is supposed to take Madge to visit her relatives. When Madge starts to wonder where the sleepy sloth could be, Smooch, Winslow, Bob and Wartz band together to wake up him up. But each time they're able to get Snook up, he just ends up falling asleep again. Finally, the friends realize that if they can keep him moving, he might stay awake, and soon, everyone in the World Tree is dancing to the beat!

Production notes
Turtles- - The migratory and social habits of turtles.
The series uses Shadowmation, a technique combining puppetry, animatronics and computer-generated animation. The patented process utilizes real-time virtual sets and run raku-style team puppetry, integrating live-action animatronic characters and computer-generated animation in real-time, high-definition virtual environments.
Forty half-hour episodes are planned. Each episode contains two 15-minute segments.
On July 14, 2005, the Writers Guild of America, East went on strike against Big Big Productions, the producer of this series, for refusing to honor WGA minimum pay and standards. Writers picketed the company's Wainscott Studios on Long Island.
Despite having a budget of over $10 million dollars, the Guild alleged, producer Mitchell Kriegman wanted to cut writers' script rates by two-thirds of the WGA minimum payment for this type of show and insisted on virtually eliminating residual payments for six years.
