    I remember watching first few episodes when I was really young, and growing really attached to the characters and writing that took place in the series. And after several years, coming back to watch the final episode really put me in my feels

    Demetrius98 (?) was the sonic sprite creator I remember most. There was another one whose name was Hannah and was from Australia. She primarily used Tiara Boobowski as a stand in, but I don't remember the channel name.
    I was definitely into sonicsong182. I was always frustrated that a certain character I liked didn't get used in whatever was the newer game, so their content was great for letting me enjoy the characters more.
    Nazo and SMBZ will always be king though. Easily the best pieces of sonic media out there on sheer impact alone.

    Oh hey, I was a part of that channel for some time. You're right on the assumption that it's definitely more of a family-oriented thing than most fan content, for sure. Ask the Sonic Heores actually started off as a side-series for SonicSong182 but (as the view counts suggest) evolved into its flagship series over time. For me, since I played Big the Cat, it was just kind of a fun time to come up with silly lines since Big's nature allowed me to make all my answers comedic to some degree. It's too bad you didn't dig a little deeper because their content also covers areas like plush adventures (which was the main thing before AtSH took off), musicals, and some other stuff as well.
    Also the OG source for the Sonic, Shadow, and Silver shorts mentioned earlier is coodoo17, if nobody else mentioned that already. Was one of the first pieces of fan content I saw while getting into Sonic in the late 2000s.

    Holy crap, I actually know every single one of these things, maybe with the exception for AMVs shown and Kalisami’s and Myly14 amazing art. It is an amazing trip though memory lane. I feel like Shadow759 was the one that gave me the most inspiration. In fact, I think it was him that got me inspired to do the skits and fandubs that I do in my channel. Hope I can branch off into more ambitious projects in the future but for now, I got still room to grow.

    The Sonic series is only rivaled by the Mario and Dragon Ball series with the amount of animations, games, sprite series, parodies, and comics that were made by fans.

It was a fairly small community, But it still had a Charm in my heart coming after school to get on my iPad to Meet all of my friends online.

    @EnigmaRising Pƙed 2 lety +1

    Honestly this fan base has its moments that we all would like to forget, but it’s so easy to overlook the best side of the fan base bruh, like you hear the term “sonic oc” and think of things like coldsteel or something but there’s actually so many great ones out there, Fr like Nazo is so effing good I low key wish he was canon, Aeon is obscure but his story, design, and powers are really good and well thought out plus with Sega seemingly going the multiple sonic dimensions route Aeon would actually make sense a a villain, Seelkadoom has a stupid sounding name but his personality and creation is solid, personally I would like to see some fan games featuring those characters as core villains (which the each original creator’s permission of course)

  • @MGilbas

Some of it isn't that old but still invokes a feeling of nostalgia. Sonic Oddshow, Sonic Glitched, Sonic VS Knuckles (animation), Sonic's Halloween Costume, Shadow the Werehog, Sonic the Hedgehog likes waffles (animation), Christmas with Sonic series and Sonic Before/After the Sequel.

    Y'know what nostalgic Sonic series I miss the most? Sonic with a Sword.
    For those unaware, the short answer is it's exactly what it says on the tin: a Sonic flash animation series in which he has a sword now. (note that this came out _long before_ Black Knight) Long answer: it's a Sonic series that depicts a future in which Eggman won, all of Sonic's friends are dead, and he trains in the way of the sword under the tutelage of new friend and ally Sparkster. (who's just in this world, it's never explained but he's got a grudge against Eggman too)
    Also, Samus and Earthworm Jim show up later on in the series and Jim flirts with Samus constantly. It's a bit silly, in retrospect.

    I just appreciate this side of Sonic's fandom, so creative, inspirational, entertaining and was part of a lot of childhoods, back in the day when the internet was wholesome, when we would spend hours watching content made by fans and for fans. Still, there is the dark side of the Sonic's fandom, and believe me, it's better not to see it.

    Dude this was such a nostalgic trip
    I always say this to my brother, the internet may have existed before and Kids these days also grow up with the internet like our generation, but our generation specifically (late 90's 2000's) grew up consuming content right along the creators themselves, both camps were new to this stuff and it was great to remember how we all grew up together
    Final Fantasy Sonic X6 was my Jam, ironically that game introduce me to Megaman with it's intro and X and Zero's presence and Super Mario Bros Z was so much fun to watch with my cousins, those 2 were my favorite but i do remember a lot from what you brought up
    Great video

    This video is a huge nostalgic find for me, so many creators I’ve seen in the past that made so many fun memories for me as a kid whether it was just animation, stop motion, voice acting, fanart or a fan game, in the end they were always rlly creative with where to take the story, some more in depth than others while others more meant to be fun, one thing I do need to finish is FFSX cuz damn that was a banger when I first played it

    Man, this was a GREAT retrospective. I didnt get into Sonic until around when Sonic Rush Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Sonic Unleashed were released. And when i found out about the internet and youtube growing up, i learned about all the cool things the fans have made. i found games such as Ultimate Flash Sonic, Sonic Before + After the Sequel, Sonic Robo Blast 2, and even Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart. I found projects such as Sonic Shorts, Super Mario Bros. Z, LBP Sonic and Shadow the movie, and even Sonic Stop Motion Adventures as you mentioned in the video. As a guy who was LITERALLY born on Sonic's Birthday (but a few years later), this was destiny in the making that i would become a sonic fan and be among many passionate people within this community.
    overall, Amazing Video dude!

However the fact that Sonic stop motions even got a mention was enough for me. Amazing video

    Not being a native english speaker myself I didn't run into many of the fan content mentioned here BUT there used to be a few channels dedicated to dubbing both official and fan animations into german. Most notably there was MrShidalko and ElementsOfJustice (the latter of which is still active and I am still subscribed to). They introduced the concept of fandubs and obviously a bunch of great content to me and to this day I still connect their voices to the characters. It's something I look back on so fondly and without their work I don't think I would have become as obsessed with this franchise as a kid as I was!

I glad all of these fan creations inspired me to make my Sonic fandub parody movies.
