    It's little but I love how Ben refers to Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Tails' voice actress) as just "Colleen", when most likely a handful of people in the audience knew who that was. She's not a mainstream name like he or Idris, but Ben's been super supportive of her since the day she was announced to reprise her role and has shown over the months leading up to the movie how much respect he has for her and probably voice actors as a whole (which makes sense given his history in VO). Idk I just thought it was cool, and the fact that she's seemingly gonna get top billing in the movie which isn't usually something voice actors for major movies get is dope as well

    • @matti.8465
      @matti.8465 2 года назад +26

      As much as I think Ben is a class act, I still can't help but feel that he was miscast to play Sonic. He just doesn't capture Sonic's youthful nature to me.

    • @raynacarraway440
      @raynacarraway440 2 года назад +9

      @@StriderZessei Personally for me, since Sonic is 12 in the first movie and probably no older than 13 in the second, I think it fits really well. While he's still sarcastic and quippy, this time he's an actual child so there's a sense of innocence and childish excitement other versions of Sonic don't have, and I don't think Roger Craig Smith's voice would fit this specific version of the character

    • @StriderZessei
      @StriderZessei 2 года назад +1

      @@raynacarraway440 I get that. I just think Roger is better at sounding young than Ben. I seriously had no idea Sonic was supposed to be 12 when I watched the first movie, simply because Ben's child voice is so much older than Roger's teen voice.
