Now I've Seen Everything: Yeti as flying Gandalf Monk Mentor to Hercules, Mulan, Ulysses & animals/dinos (aka Kids Cartoon: Super Little Fanta Heroes)

The kids cartoon "Super Little Fanta Heroes" (1997) has this description:
Gifted with their ancestors’ virtues, the heroes featured in these adventures are the following characters: Hercules and his friendly dog Cerberus, Hua Mulan and the friendly eagle Tylli, the Ninja Turtle Dragon, Ulysses – assisted by a Ram and Bear, King David and the cheetah Betsy, the Thief of Baghdad – aided and abetted by his cave lion Yubba, Jerome and the friendly cave cougar Bloody Knife with the buffalo Wapi, the protective Blue Yeti and two little dinosaurs named Knock and Hit.




Yep, a knock-off ninja turtle teams up with a motley crew of mythic characters and a bunch of random animals.  I'm going to come out and say it: This is the craziest cartoon of all time.

Great Yeti is sort of this Gandalf Monk to the heroes. He flies everyone on the back of a big blue bird but can also fly himself with his retinue of monks. Also, he has a magic sword that he can summon.  Oh man.... Great Yeti is amazing.

Kids Cartoon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

"The Ancient One" is the 92nd episode of the animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), which originally aired on December 10, 2005.

Leonardo goes to Japan, traveling on foot through the snowy mountains, seeking a new sensei known as "the Ancient One".

Wow, that sounds very very familiar.

On his quest, he comes across two gigantic yeti warriors that bar his way with their huge swords.
"The yetis demand to know what the Turtle seeks. Leonardo informs [them] that that he's come to see the Ancient One. The two guards laugh and begin to mock the young ninja. Leo grows angry and draws his katanas, growling that he hasn't come all this way to turn back now. The ninja attacks, but his efforts are futile against the giants' armor. The giants start to tease Leo even more until he finally snaps and lets out a mighty howl of rage. The guards easily defeat Leonardo and throw him into a snow-filled ditch, where the Turtle lies prone in defeat.  Surprisingly, the yeti guard lifts the Turtle to his feet. The warriors tell Leonardo that this lesson was to teach him to never go into combat with an angry heart. With that, the pair explain how Leonardo will find the path to the Ancient One and send him on his way.  Leo continues on, following the giants' instructions."
