That costume is still more accurate than that first movie design.

Actually, the Halo show is an embarrassing case of the fandom misunderstanding the source material more than the filmmakers, but it doesn't help that Halo's lore has always been in flux. I'm about to make a video on it.

@@TreyTheWilliam I'm no pro at this thing, but I'm putting research together at the moment, because I've been a Halo fan since the first game and I feel the show, while I DO have my gripes about it, gets a lot of flak for things that aren't even problems. lol When I post it, I'll let you know
What's even more interesting is the REAL story. Ben was originally just a placeholder until they decided on who would voice Sonic - but they were so impressed with his performance in the test footage that they picked him for the full movie!
If I had a nickel for every time Ben Schwartz played a animated character that related to the colour blue, I’d have three nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened thrice Edit: Apparently multiple blue characters. As stated by multiple people in the comments and a Honest Trailer video about Sonic 2. Nice

Fun fact: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was Idris Elba's fourth voice-over role, after Zootopia (2016), The Jungle Book (2016) and Finding Dory (2016), All 3 features were Disney films, making this his first non-Disney voice role, in addition to being his 2nd time doing voice over work in a live-action film.

1:37 The fact that they talked about Chris Pratt amazes me because he's already casted as Mario, another popular video game icon *next* to Sonic!

Imagine spending years studying acting, thinking you are prepared to do a role you've found really interesting; then you get to the audition and hear: "you're running past a bitcoin"
I guess he finally got that number for Chris Pratt out of Ben for the new Mario movie.
Ben Schwartz fits the role of Sonic so well. His voice acting has such a playful and funny sound to it that makes it (in my opinion anyway) rather lovable. But also at the same time there’s an annoying childishness to it that fits Sonics character and personality (in the movies anyway) almost perfectly.
4:50 Hands down my favourite Sonic catch phrase: “E!”
Turns out Ben went to the wrong audition, that guy likes to put people with scheduled auditions in embarrassing situations
1:27 "I don't play videogames" 4:35 "You are running past a Bit Coin" so they really charged him for the auditions? 😆😆😆
WHEN HE SAID “pika pika” I DIED 😭💕
Ben didn't refer Chris Pratt for the role so Chris went over to the dark side and played Mario...it all makes sense now
Ben Schwartz always cheer us up 😊

I’m cracking up at the part where the dude is doing an impression of Ben and Ben is like what’s happening
I love the way Ben Schwartz sounds in all these cartoons and shows
That bit where he asked if he plays video games to get the role and he says yes, but he asks the producer and the producer doesn't
It really felt like Sonic was talking since the first time.

No, the audition started in 2019 not 2020 because the movie realeased in 2020 febuary they couldn't made it in january 2020 and the old design has his actor too, so for that being ben auditioned it on 2019 and not 2020!
I can't unhear Sonic as Randy Cunningham
Ben Schwartz: Growing up..... man I've spent hours of my life spindashing........ MOTOBUGS...... in the original Sonic genesis game.
this was the most passive aggressive interview I’ve ever seen.
You're trying to tell me someone in Hollywood doesn't know how to pronounce Schwartz’s... right.
That end. 😂
XD this is such a comedic skit, love it.
"So egg-cited to be here", very nice, subtle, real pro.
Ben: "Do I have the role?" Josh: "No." Ben: "wHaT?!?!"
Funny enough Chris Pratt is Sonic’s rival Mario
“I don’t play video games” Describes the whole first movie
“The crotch on these feel way too low.” I’m done, bro. 😂🥰
The Tony Hawk impression was spot on
Love his video game characters impression he does my favorite besides sonic he done is pikachu so cute love it
