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.
@@enterthehacks Interesting. Gotta be honest, I haven’t played a Halo game yet, but I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the show. I’d love to hear your perspective.
@@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.
The only way they kept him from rampaging when he found out he didn't get it was to arrange for nintendo to get him to be mario. It's the casting no one wanted, but it's the only way to keep the peace
I only just now realized this guy voices dewey duck in the new ducktales. I loved the voice of sonic and dewey but idk how i didn't realize it was the same person voicing them.
@@liamphibia i.redd.it/k5y4kv6gomq41.jpg Is here xD Another curious fact is that the directors wanted Chris Evans to make a Tom Paper, also have a concept art XD: pbs.twimg.com/media/EQ_RWE7VUAAUjpQ.jpg
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.
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 miss DuckTales 2017 so much 😭 That and Big City Greens have to be the most underrated animated shows ever, and they released only a year apart from each other 0:48 Nearly made me cry from the memories I have with the show, it shouldn't have been canceled
I love how casually they just called Tony Hawk a videogame character, like he isn't a real person
Well, it depends.
Wait Tony Hawk is real!?!?
@@TJZ243 No one with a name like that is real. He's an avatar named after an old skateboard obv.
According to his Twitter, people who meet Tony Hawk don't think he's really Tony Hawk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm disappointed in myself for not even questioning his inclusion with the others lol
Ben Schwartz is an absolute treasure.
He was Dewey on the new DuckTales.
I agree
Yea
Have to agree
He also voiced Leonardo in Rise of the TMNT
That costume is still more accurate than that first movie design.
It still has human teeth though.
Meow?
I'll take fabric unicorn sonic with Ben Schwartz in his mouth over that unholy abomination any day
BROJSJSJS UR FOUL 😭

I loved Ben in Randy Cunningham, I think he's the perfect choice for Sonic
Loved Ben since I 1st saw him on College Humor every episode with him was an instant classic
I loved his Milkman character and the song as well

It's criminal how Ben Schwartz didn't get the role after this audition and instead the role went to some other guy coincidentally named Ben Schwartz!

Didn't you write this before? I swear I've seen someone write this on a different video word-for-word...
Great nobody cares
Who he’d voice in finding Dory?
@@davidkruse4030 hi I’m nobody
@@Amirahnations He was one of the seals
5:03 missed an golden opportunity to hit him with the “Excuuuse me, princess!”
They joke about it but I promise you they would’ve casted Chris Pratt as sonic had Ben not been here.

funnily enough, Chris Pratt was on the shortlist to play Tom, Sonic’s human friend
He was originally going to be Tom before James Marston
Ullg that would’ve been awful. Would’ve just been a second Roger Craig
@@kronos3129 *human dad
I cannot believe this guy voiced a ninja turtle 😭 absolutely wild
Straight up voiced another blue guy (Leo in Rise)
Go watch it, my favorite show in the world
I only just now realized this guy voices dewey duck in the new ducktales. I loved the voice of sonic and dewey but idk how i didn't realize it was the same person voicing them.
I liked his other character Randy Cunningham
He also did Bubbles from Power Puff Girls reboot.. or if he still hasn't yet, he will. Only a matter of time
@@x2bounty wait Bubbles? are you joking?
@@YxVideos yes, i was joking. i guess he could do the blue roudy rough boy though... whatever his name was.
and leonardo in rottmnt
I didn't actually know how super-talented and versatile Ben is!
5:10 bro i can HEAR Leonardo Hamato from Rise of the TMNT
YESSSSSS
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!
And was an old cast for Sonic when the movie was a project of SONY PICTURES xd
@@iZakey No Waaay!
@@liamphibia Yees, there are a concept art with an old Sonic's Design xD

With how the ORIGINAL design looked I'm inclined to believe this audition really happened. 😆
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"
this was the most passive aggressive interview I’ve ever seen.
1:23 “your face, your turning into a whole different thing.” LOLLLLLL
“A BITcoin?”
Makes me laugh so hard every time. 4:37
Help...That "pika pika" was sooo cute, I could cry 🥲🤣
I guess he finally got that number for Chris Pratt out of Ben for the new Mario movie.
1:27 "I don't play videogames" 4:35 "You are running past a Bit Coin" so they really charged him for the auditions? 😆😆😆
I love the way Ben Schwartz sounds in all these cartoons and shows
0:05 dude, that actually sounds like Sonic talking in the movie!!!😮😮😮😮😮
3:41
Even the Sonic suit looks better than the first design we had!
Ben Schwartz always cheer us up 😊
Yes!
i love ben so much! he has such fun energy, when he did all the other video games i died
I love him in after party n parks he one of the most unrated comedian I know
WHEN HE SAID “pika pika” I DIED 😭💕
Turns out Ben went to the wrong audition, that guy likes to put people with scheduled auditions in embarrassing situations
4:50 Hands down my favourite Sonic catch phrase: “E!”
I remember Ben Schwartz playing Randy Cunningham and Dewey duck
And Leo in rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtle
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 is amazing. What a guy.
I’m cracking up at the part where the dude is doing an impression of Ben and Ben is like what’s happening
Ben looks like he had so much fun filming this 😂
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
1:10 that man is looking for trouble
This was actually REALLY funny, I wasn’t expecting it to be lol
Ben's Pikachu voice is incredible 😍😍
"I don't play video games." Said the Halo TV series creators.
"You began by studying hedgehog."
As a hedgehog, i can confirm that we can run at the speed of sound and are blue. And also addicted to -drugs- rings.
someone needs to make an animation using movie sonics design

It really felt like Sonic was talking since the first time.

Ben: "Do I have the role?"

The guy making a video game movie saying he doesn't play video games was surprisingly realistic for Hollywood.
I smiled as soon as he said Leonardo
That Pikachu impression was cute. He can still nail the role, if he became Pikachu instead of Sonic.
I can't unhear Sonic as Randy Cunningham
1:37 who knew Chris Pratt would end up voicing Sonic's rival instead of Sonic
Has anyone ever told Ben Schwartz that his voice *naturally* sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog?😆😆😆🎧
"So egg-cited to be here", very nice, subtle, real pro.

I kind of want him doing more video game character roles now. He's a natural at this!
