Trivia:

Ryan Drummond, the official voice actor of Sonic in the English language versions of the Sonic the Hedgehog video games (pre-Shadow the Hedgehog), wanted to provide Sonic's voice for 4Kids's English adaptation of Sonic X. However, 4Kids rejected him simply because he did not reside in New York, where the production studio is located. Even though he offered to move to New York just for the mere chance of trying out for the role, 4Kids refused to accept him. This decision had upsets many Sonic fans.

Quotes:

Sonic the Hedgehog: I don't see why we have to learn all this etiquette baloney.
Christopher 'Chris' Thorndyke: My mom says it's important to learn good manners so we can eat properly.
Sonic the Hedgehog: Well, I never learned anything about manners, and I been eating my whole life.

Movie Connections:

Remake of Sonic Adventure (1998) (VG)

Excellent animation.

I first heard about Sonic X when I was visiting a furry site made by my friend Alasanso Sansi (Tyro Racoon). I saw pictures and character bios for a cartoon series concept that was unveiled at some sort of World's Fair in Tokyo.

Later on the series debuted in japan and some viewers over there were nice enough to record some episodes into AVI, then the nice folks at Team Artail decided to make fansubs for all us english speaking fans.

I think they only managed to sub eps 1 and 2. But what I saw, I totally fell in love with.

Sorry if I offend anyone here, but THIS is soooooo much better than the saturday morning Sonic show that ABC had (yes, I'm reffering to SatAm) The animation is almost near that of the promotional artwork from the games. The concept is much like that of any fan-fiction you'll find among the Sonic fandom websites.

Sonic and his pals end up in our world by accident. Sonic befriends a human boy. How cool is that eh? And Tails is drawn suberbly! And not also is he drawn extremely well, he actually gets to be a functional part of this show!

I'm waiting for this show to hit America, (Its slated to hit FoxBox in September) anyone who's had a Dreamcast or played any of the games will LOVE this show. am going to love this show. My only gripe is that its probably going to butchered in the process of being translated and americanized.
