      Makes total sense if you think he's the only actor that doesn't show his face in the movie. It's kind of criminal that his name isn't in the poster if you think about it.
      He deserves every praise coming his way. Ever since the College Humor sketches this guy has been crushing it every time.

  • @WakoDoodle
    @WakoDoodle 4 года назад +14

    Ben's portrayal of sonic seems to have the best bits from each actor. He has roger's (sonic boom) sarcasm, Ryan (sonic heroes) adventurous side, Jason's (sonic riders/rush) confidence, martin's (sonic ova eng dub) Smugness and even a touch of jaleel white's friendliness thrown in.
    Granted he's just doing his Dewy voice from the new ducktales, but sonic has always been this adventurous, optimistic guy who cares about his friends and likes to take sarcastic jabs at eggman's expense. Each of the older voice actors does well in only a few part of sonic's personality. Ben Schwartz seems to do all of them really well.
    If he did the voices for the games from now on, I often wonder how they would redesign him to match this new voice (besides the realistic design).

    Ben Schwartz is definitely a great pick to be the voice of Sonic.
    There's been others throughout the years...such as Roger Craig Smith, Ryan Drummond, and Urkel 😂
    However, Ben Schwartz really captures the essence of how young and vibrant Sonic is.
    I mean, Sonic would biologically be 28 as of now, but in the virtual universe...he's perpetually a 16 year old blue hedgehog, who continues running throughout life 😌
