God the Werehog transformation is so god damn AMAZING. Just that shot of him roaring in front of the moon as the ghosts go flying is so iconic. I wish we could get more little mini movies like these again.
This one was fun! Seeing that Ghost get a crush on Werehog Sonic. And her minions remind me to Casper the friendly Ghost's ghost for some reason. Kinda wish Sega would upload it officially.
I’d have to have Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Protagonist-tier amnesia in order to forget this short. Ever since I found it in an On Demand menu, of all places, this has been a mainstay of my childhood, and led me down the road I take today.
Tbh I like that they don’t talk. It forces them to be as expressive and intentional as possible with the animation to still convey what characters are thinking and tell a cohesive story.
For those who don't know the ghosts's names The girl is named Lah The skinny scarfed ghost is Uh The fat bowtie ghost is Su The fusion of Su and Uh is Baker
After 15 years, thanks to Marza, we got the sequel called "Ghost Tale"! Okay, but seriously, when I first watched "Night Of The Werehog", I used to simp for Lah The Ghost Girl, but now? I simp for Rouge, Vanilla, Zeena, Zeta, Felicia from Darkstalkers along with Hsien-Ko, and the female Gardevoir, I mean what.
When I was a kid I remember watching this over and over and over on the family computer after watching a while bunch of sonic unleashed AMVs with the song monster over them So yes I do remember Night Of The Peakhog
2:23 I think it's kinda both "they don't use this model anymore" and "they don't animate it like this anymore" that "style" of Sonic model was last used in Lost World, which itself was an edit of the Unleashed/Gens model. The model we have now is strongly based on the model used in Forces; the main difference being how Sonic's quills and spines are shaped. In terms of animation, it's kinda just because we don't really get CGI cutscenes in Sonic anymore outside of marketing. Some cutscenes in the games are pre-rendered of course, but they're nothing like the CGI we've had in games prior.
4:58 The Night of the Wind 7:47 Also, I like that they don't talk. I think it helps keep the immersion when the characters don't talk. It allows them to communicate over facial expressions and body motion
To be fair, I feel like having no voices in shorts like these is the best motivation for animators / directors to get creative with how they convey information and narrative beats. It's a great challenge and allows for the storyline to be more universally understood around the world.
BRO This came out 17 hours before the official Animation of them returning. Either you are a mad prediction master or you somehow knew...nontheless CRAZY COINCEDENCE!
Honestly Sega should have made an entire animated movie (not sure what it could’ve been about) but if it was something like this or Unleashed’s intro cutscene, it would have made bank.
You know what I find interesting is that Sega never makes more of these kinds of animations because on their Twitter account they said everything (Minus the actual 06 design of Elise) {*but the reimagining of her is considered a plus when she ice skates with Sliver*} is Canon But like...what about those 3 ghosts? What about other characters that are known throughout Sonic Media? Like it would take time to be seen as a reoccurring character and not a forgotten one Like surely the ghost girl would understand that Sonic doesn't have the werehog form any more right?
Bro, Marza Animation Planet (the same people who made Night of the Werehog) made a new short on their channel with the same ghosts! It's called "Ghost Tale."
I really want this animation quality to come back SONIC LOOKS SO GOOD!!! People hate the Modern Sonic model because he looks stiff and lifeless, LOOK AT THIS!!! IT'S NOT THE MODEL IT'S THE ANIMATION!!! Modern PCs and consoles can easily handle this quality and graphics, but knowing Sega and Sonic team, we probably aren't gonna get that soon :(
dude this is like the best sonics ever looked imo (apart from the unleashed intro but theyre from the same game lol) i fucking love this animation sm ty for reminding me abt this fadel i needed to rewatch this still holds up amazingly lol also werehog is raw as fuck in this and no one can tell me otherwise
Omg i completely forgot this ending lmao. Somehow I only remember it ending with Lah crushing on WereSonic (do ppl still call him this?) when she finds a photo of him, but only after he left the mansion with Chip lol
I would love to see more animations like this just knowing the potential they have with sonic and characters especially when something like this held up great after years of it being out
Technically this one does have voice acting, just no dialog. I guess it's fine but I wouldn't want them to do this constantly, like they do for all the classic stuff. I forgot that the TSR ones were also voiceless as well. But at least we got the Colors Ultimate and Knuckles Prologue with voice acting.
U can tell that Sega wanted to reach Pixar lvl back in the Unleashed days so what a better way than bringing in the most random ass Halloween short with no dialogue. Fr tho as gooft as the short is, this was my childhood and I enjoy how clean n raw Sonic looks in both base n werehog form. Im glad Sonic Team is doing more 2d animated shorts, but i kinda hope that they hit up at Marza to make a new animated short like Unleashed. Also poor little Chip, bro did not need to strapped at the end so Ghost girl can get that Werehog meat☠☠☠
As a kid, seeing Sonic scared was REALLY scary to me. Sonic is NEVER scared of ANYTHING, so something that _terrifies_ him like that must be REALLY bad
Such a Fun Short. Brings back a lot childhood memories watching this every Halloween when I was younger. Also it was awesome seeing Lah and the other two ghosts again in the Idw Comics
This for real was such a cool callback to watch, just remembering seeing this as a kid and I enjoyed it a lot (I still do!). Thank you Fadel for the commentary and Lore of Sonic Unleashed (Lah turning into Light Gaia 😂) Also, Night Of The Werehog is PEAK!!!!🐺🦔
Omg the night of the Werehog is an amazing animation! I remember watching this when I was a kid, this is a great way to watch this on Halloween. This brings back memories 🥹.
This short is so nostalgic to me and honestly I wouldn’t mind seeing more of these in the future for new games. Think like the small animated shorts we have now but instead of those we get these at least for Modern titles. That would be so fire.
Hear me out. Wherehog design is 🔥, gameplay especially the controls could be improved. I funny enough agree with Fadel that it would be cool if the wherehog returns. I really like the wherehog 💙.
@@GamesCage I personally love the wherehog and think it's gameplay can improved in a sonic unleashed 2/successor. Plus with Frontiers open zones and smooth controls in normal stages. That would be PEAK for me at least.
I literally can't think of a constructive comment to say😂 ....... Well the.... Short Special was TOO GOOD when I watched it back in the day! The story was cute😚 and I love it when the characters are very expressive and I could feel life coming from them. The games itself lacks that in some areas and aren't good as this. But when they are it's a bigger blast✨ Wait... I think I did it😂lol
I think it was a Halloween Special with Sonic Unleashed. I don’t know is Sonic Team but that one as Canon. But the Two Ghost are scaring and taking pictures of random boys of who is the Cutest scream to the Lady of the Mansion.
Happy Halloween Fadel , also this is just a random question but do you that if Tails was in this could the ghost girl choose Tails over Sonic ? . Just for curiosity because I can imagine a scared photo of Tails adding on the the list of her favorites 😜 but anyways thanks again for a new video. Keep up the good work and as always stay cool 😎 and have an awesome Halloween day !
Wtf i never knew this was a thing, sega cooked with this i wish they did this with frontiers!! 😮 they should make a cgi short for the next 3d sonic game :D
Also did you know the jp sonic night of the werehog website is still up, but unfortunately doesn’t work without the old adobe flash player that was discontinued. ☹️
I wish we got more longer official Sonic animations like this, the CGI is just GORGEOUS.
Plzz
They only have the budget for 2D promotional animations these days.
Marza, the same studio behind this, just made a new animation with the same ghosts called "Ghost Tale"
@@GamesCageWait no more, Another short of marsa dropped today!
Night of the Werehog was literally in EVERY AMV. It'd be impossible not to know it
SO GOOOD
God the Werehog transformation is so god damn AMAZING. Just that shot of him roaring in front of the moon as the ghosts go flying is so iconic. I wish we could get more little mini movies like these again.
PEAK
They really made a short film to promote Sonic Unleashed. This is the kind of budget we need for Frontiers 2! Bring back the CG!
YES PLZ
Marza, the same studio that made this, made a new short with these ghosts in it! It's called "Ghost Tale."
Night Of The Werehog was PEAK, I remember watching this all the time as a kid
AO GOOOOOD
fadel waffling over sonic's rizz is peak commentary
LMAAOOOO
This one was fun! Seeing that Ghost get a crush on Werehog Sonic. And her minions remind me to Casper the friendly Ghost's ghost for some reason. Kinda wish Sega would upload it officially.
Sonic's expressions and animations here are INSANE
SO GOOOOOD
I do indeed, now the REAL QUESTION IS…who remembers the voiceover from shadow759 of night of the werehog….
"I spot... A sexy individual! Or a freak" Bro? 😂
LMAOOO
CGI animation slaps but I'm glad we're still able to get 2d animated openings too like that knuckles prologue
I’d have to have Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Protagonist-tier amnesia in order to forget this short.
Ever since I found it in an On Demand menu, of all places, this has been a mainstay of my childhood, and led me down the road I take today.
The Night of the Werehog was peak! I always love rewatching it around Halloween! Thank you for doing this reaction video, Fadel! 😄
:D
Tbh I like that they don’t talk. It forces them to be as expressive and intentional as possible with the animation to still convey what characters are thinking and tell a cohesive story.
For those who don't know the ghosts's names
The girl is named Lah
The skinny scarfed ghost is Uh
The fat bowtie ghost is Su
The fusion of Su and Uh is Baker
5:00 WOAHHHHHHHHH WOAHHHHHHHHHH WOAHHHHHH WOAHHH WOAHHHHHHHH HEY ALL-
WOOOOAAAAHHHH
After 15 years, thanks to Marza, we got the sequel called "Ghost Tale"!
Okay, but seriously, when I first watched "Night Of The Werehog", I used to simp for Lah The Ghost Girl, but now? I simp for Rouge, Vanilla, Zeena, Zeta, Felicia from Darkstalkers along with Hsien-Ko, and the female Gardevoir, I mean what.
The werehog form has come back in the comics, but the later versions also corrupt the mind making sonic see his friends as monsters and attack them
BRO YOUR TIMING IS IMPECCABLE IM WAS DONE WATCHING THE NEW GHOST TALE SHORT LAH UH AND SU LOOK FUCKING PRETTY I NEED MORE OF THE GHOST TRIO
When I was a kid I remember watching this over and over and over on the family computer after watching a while bunch of sonic unleashed AMVs with the song monster over them
So yes I do remember Night Of The Peakhog
Peak….

Ahhh okay😭

I remember this short very vividly because of the old ass AMV I watched when I was young that used clips from this short.
YESSS
WAS IT "MONSTER" CUZ OMG SAME 😭
@@amytheprettyweirdfangirl3786 HELL YEAH
you can't deny the werehog has a cool design
translates to the adventure era artwork style perfect, too
MHM

There's a new animation with the same ghosts by the same animation studio (Marza)! It's called "Ghost Tale."
And as soon as I said my response =U="
Bro, Marza Animation Planet (the same people who made Night of the Werehog) made a new short on their channel with the same ghosts! It's called "Ghost Tale."
IKR LOOL
@@GamesCagebro predicted it
The timing lmao
Insane coincidence you watch this the day marza releases their new short
Lah makes it pretty hard to forget lmao
LMAO
6:38 Werehog Sonic be giving off Dracula vibes the way he sits with his legs crossed
MHMMM
I really want this animation quality to come back
SONIC LOOKS SO GOOD!!!
People hate the Modern Sonic model because he looks stiff and lifeless, LOOK AT THIS!!!

Yeah I love night of the Werehog! I would love more high budget animated specials like this and the frontiers knuckles prologue thing more!

I like the part when it was night and sonic wherehogd all over the screen. Nintendo really popped off
SO TRUE BESTIE
Bruh, we should totally get another one of these,
💖💖
As a kid, seeing Sonic scared was REALLY scary to me. Sonic is NEVER scared of ANYTHING, so something that _terrifies_ him like that must be REALLY bad
MARZA JUST RELEASED A NEW ANIMATION WITH THE GHOST LIKE A FEW HOURS AGO
Call me a Werehog the way I get worn out on your hog
YOOO
2:25 yeah, this is different model than the current ones they use now
Fadel, you did it once again.
I saw this short at a Halloween party and it made me want to get Sonic Unleashed.
Funny how you reacted to this a day before Marza officially confirms another. You know something?
WHAT GHE FUCK
6:07 bro doesn’t know what’s going on dude, bro is confused, BEIAHSOEJSODJDOSNSI
NSJDJSJDJSJZJAKS
I love the current 2D animation that they do, but man, this was on another level
I remember rewatching this alot as a kid and pog facing when I saw these guy's in the spagonia side mission
1:13 oh I got lots to say about her Mr fadelington 😏
We KNOW BOUT U
This will forever be top tier
I LOVE THE WEREHOG SO MUCH
I remember watching this plenty of times.
Such a Fun Short. Brings back a lot childhood memories watching this every Halloween when I was younger. Also it was awesome seeing Lah and the other two ghosts again in the Idw Comics

ITS SO GOOD
Haven’t see this one since my college years in 2008.
And a new one just came out today.
I'm just gonna believe that you making this video was the direct cause of them dropping that new short out of nowhere
This short is so nostalgic to me and honestly I wouldn’t mind seeing more of these in the future for new games. Think like the small animated shorts we have now but instead of those we get these at least for Modern titles. That would be so fire.
Oh COURSE I seen this. This a yearly watch 🎉
YEAAA
The ghost kinda 👁️👁️
ONGKD
@@GamesCage 🤣😭
Five Nights of the Werehog
Why yes Fadel, I would like to see more of these specials!

0:00 HUH??????? dat intro tho
They Just Brought These Ghosts Back!
6:51
man i love squash and stretch
MHM
This was a great reaction to this video for halloween Fadel
Hear me out. Wherehog design is 🔥, gameplay especially the controls could be improved. I funny enough agree with Fadel that it would be cool if the wherehog returns. I really like the wherehog 💙.
AGREED

Spider-man 2 ahh wearhog pls
Did this man just reacted to Night of the Werehoh right before Marza spawned with a new animation?
damn sonic really rizz up a ghost
The amount of people who want to do that ghost scares me
9:38 LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO

I literally can't think of a constructive comment to say😂

The games itself lacks that in some areas and aren't good as this. But when they are it's a bigger blast✨
Wait... I think I did it😂lol
WAS SO GOOD
Is it true? Do you truly like the werehog Fadel? I bought a werehog sonic toy when I was a kid and still have it today. I personally like him.
HES COOL
This animation is oficial or fanmade? i can't remember
It's official!
OFFICIAL
Thanks
2:44
SANS????
SANS?!!?
Who are you crackin'???????
I think it was a Halloween Special with Sonic Unleashed. I don’t know is Sonic Team but that one as Canon. But the Two Ghost are scaring and taking pictures of random boys of who is the Cutest scream to the Lady of the Mansion.
I cant wait for the sequel, Sonic On-leashed
Also these damn ghosts are a buncha simps
they made a sequel animation today lol
Happy Halloween Fadel , also this is just a random question but do you that if Tails was in this could the ghost girl choose Tails over Sonic ? . Just for curiosity because I can imagine a scared photo of Tails adding on the the list of her favorites 😜 but anyways thanks again for a new video. Keep up the good work and as always stay cool 😎 and have an awesome Halloween day !
That ghost girl tho.... she kinda bad...
AYO….
Yep I remember
I hope one day we get an animated Sonic movie…
Maybe get Marza Animation again or just do some Spiderverse knockoff like TMNT Mutant Mayhem, idk 😂
PLZPLZ
There is a second episode of this that released today
No sonic but the specter squad is back to their old tricks
Wtf i never knew this was a thing, sega cooked with this i wish they did this with frontiers!! 😮 they should make a cgi short for the next 3d sonic game :D
I WISH THEY WOULD’VE/WOULD DO MORE OF THESEEEE!!!!!!!! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
