After the Titans win an award for being the longest-running series in DC Animation, Superman banishes them to the world of stop-motion in order to try and get their show cancelled.
An advance screening of this episode took place at New York Comic Con in New York City on October 20, 2024, 41 days prior to premiering on television.
This special celebrates the show reaching 400 episodes, as well as it becoming the longest-running DC animated series.
The special was teased back in 2023 as being something that "has never been done before" by the production team.[1]
That being said, this is the first episode of the series to utilize stop-motion animation.
The episode's stop-motion segments were done by Stoopid Buddy Productions, a stop-motion animation studio known for making popular stop-motion shows such as Robot Chicken, a show on Cartoon Network's late-night block, Adult Swim.
This is the first episode where Superman has a speaking role. This is also Superman's second speaking role in the series overall, after Teen Titans Go! to the Movies.
This is also the first time somebody (as a hero) other than Control Freak, as a villain, tries to cancel Teen Titans Go!.
These are the last two episodes to premiere in 2024.
This also marks the first time a two-parter serves as the last episode(s) to premiere within a calendar year.
The fourth wall is broken throughout the entire special.
The Titans win the award for "DC's Longest Animated Series".
The song, Four Hundred, is about how Teen Titans Go! rebooted a classic, gained popularity and became DC's longest animated show reaching 400 episodes.
When the Titans are transported into the stop-motion dimension, the Titans notice how different everything looks, and Robin tells them they are in a stop-motion special, and explains to them the concept of stop-motion.
Throughout the episode, Robin is concerned about their budget.
When Cyborg shoots the Snake Lady, her legs break apart, revealing wires underneath.
Robin says that they saved enough money that they were renewed for another season, with his communicator saying "NEW SEASON", serving as a teaser for the upcoming ninth season.
After the Titans defeat Superman and make amends with him, Superman suggests having a crossover series with the Teen Titans titled, "The Super Friends Meet the Teen Titans Go! Mystery Fun-Time Hour", to which the Titans decline.
When the Titans are on stage after winning the award, Raven thanks her Nana, Cat and Hank. She then says that’s she probably forgetting someone, an obvious diss at her father, Trigon.
When the Titans are controlling the Titan Robot, there are all in the same section of the interior of the robot, an oddity exclusive to this episode, as in other episodes, each Titan controls one part of the body in different sections.
Static (Virgil Hawkins) has a speaking cameo in Four Hundred. However, he is uncredited.
Continuity[]
Raven is seen unhooded for the 163rd and 164th time in the series.
