LET'S GOOOO
That was incredible, Joao :
ngl the acting was bad especially Maria she look uninterested in her character also Maria is blonde with blue eyes and have short hair that wig looks peach blonde other than that it looks good also robotnik looks waaaaaaaaaay to young hes old with wrinkles my man has smooth skin......lets seee.......other than that it looks good for what its worth but needs a few improvements
@@ghostygirla dude, that's dr. gerald robotnik. not eggman.
Your short is very good but it has an error, Shadow Cadi's gaze never changes, it is always penetrating and full of seriousness, he doesn't move his eyes like Sonic, he is very serious and focused
G.U.N. wanted a savior.
Gerald Robotnik wanted a cure.
Maria wanted a hero.
Shadow just wanted a friend.
So true, and I still feel bad for Shadow.
@@KiNGTiG4R and I wanted a Dr Eggman
@@KiNGTiG4Rsame he’s my favorite I would hug him
G.U.N. wanted money!
@@alceratops6853 ? I mean... "Everyone needs money... The question is, how much." Lex Luthor.
But Shadow is not exactly a money printer. War is a real money sink.
So... 🤔Why say G.U.N. wanted money?
this is probably one of the best Sonic fan projects I’ve seen so far
Same
Wait until sonic villains
Nazos unleashed and final fantasy soinc would like to have a word with you.
@@Tmaget yes but this doesn't have nearly 15 years of fans behind it like those do.
completely true
I love the idea that Shadow was once as happy and carefree as Sonic. This is so sweet.
Which I find it to be tragic and sad considering that painful incidents and losses of Maria has made shadow into a cold stern ruthless merciless aloof stoic indifferent standoffish dead-serious no-nonsense cynical and anti-social grouch cynic and misanthrope that we all know today
@@hattanalshutaifi4587True, but thanks to Sonic and his friends including Amy, Shadow realize that not all human are bad and remember Maria’s true promise
Me too
8:19 he is so sad yet happy cause he has maria
@lorivalencia7544 if they did the what if thing like the marvel
I really like that the soldier that killed Maria seemed hesitant and nervous as he pointed the gun at her. In the Sonic X show, the solider was further expanded upon that he regretted killing her and was following orders. I'm glad he still shows this trait in this amazing fan film!
It would be absolutely *wild* if the soldier that murdered Maria would either be Commander Walters or Tom Wachowski's Father/Grandfather.😳
@@liamphibiaMaybe so, I have a theory that Tom's grandfather had something to do with Shadow's story. In the first movie Maddie mentions that there was always a Wachowsky looking after the town of Green Hills for more than 50 years. Perhaps Tom's grandfather participated in the events of the ARK and then retreated to a secluded place to keep himself and even his family safe, like the soldier from Sonic X did. and they also mention in the post-credits scene that the information on PROJECT SHADOW goes back more than 50 years. Twice they mention that period of time. Of course, it's just a theory that I came up with based on what we've seen so far in the Sonic movies.
@@Silverfox30008honestly I would love for that to be the backstory as it adds this element of why Shadow sees harming Sonic as a way to get revenge on Tom
Шедоу 😘 ♥️ 😍 💞 👍 👌
One thing this fan film even imoroves from the original story is you can see shadow was visibly happy. He smiles much more, his body language is fluid. He acts like a child at times. And his voice is softer. Makes everything so much sadder
I know this when shadow spends time with the people he cared about
But because of G.U.N., he lost everything. Which is the saddest part.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@krististarosta6736 exactly he was all happy on the ark with the people that he truly loved but it all changed when GUN Invaded the ark and killed them😢
Was he not happy before in the original story? Why not?
@@isolated_illustrations GUN shot and killed everyone on the ark that shadow cared about including Maria his best friend/sister
I’m glad you guys enjoyed my portrayal of Shadow!
Estuvo genial eres la voz perfecta para Shadow, deberían llamarte para Sonic 3, esta hermosa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your voice for shadow was simply PERFECT you should be shadow's official voice actor
You did a fantastic job ❤️🖤
You did A M A Z I N G!!!! Random Goon! that scream for Maria at the end was heart-wrenching! 🖤❤
Fucking perfection
22:13 I just can't. The way this moment is crafted is nothing short of absolute perfection. You can FEEL the shattering of his soul through every element of the screen. We as the audience are fully immersed in that horrific moment of infinite dispar with Shadow and FORCED to understand the gravity of his eternal life forever changed. THIS is the kind of emotional, human connection missing from so many Hollywood movies today. Outstanding work.
Wonder what Maria's death will be in Sonic 3?
@@NinjaGirl490 I don't know, but I really hope they explain how Shadow ended up in the escape pod as well as this film did. I've always wondered how he ended up in the pod first (because clearly Shadow cared about Maria more than himself and would have prioritized her first) and why he couldn't just break the glass (Dude is literally the ultimate lifeform. I've never understood how the capsule restrained him when he was trying to break out and help her)
The way those things were explained here...Perfection!
Hope the Sonic 3 movie doesn't forget about Dr. Robotnik's grandfather, Maria, nor the prototype Lizard.
Based on the fact that the music that played during the title showcase of Sonic 3 was apparently a rescored Live and Learn, and the fact that part of the title's design holds a direct homage to the title design of Sonic Adventure 2, I'd say they're all definitely gonna be included.
Maria’s actress was revealed not too long ago, so safe to say she did not go forgotten
@@toddelmsworth640 It wasn’t confirmed that the actress was going to play Maria though, right?
@@IronBrandon22 it was, Alyla Browne is Maria’s actress
@@toddelmsworth640 Well then. I thought that it was just the way she looked that made people think she would play Maria.
The part where Shadow grabs the gun from the soldier was so peak. I also like how Maria & Gerald told Shadow that it was wrong to kill the soldier too. It shows that the Gerald and Maria were the happiest parts in Shadow’s life and they were the ones who taught Shadow humility.
I think you mean *humanity
@@guywglasses3910 I did lol
But that all changed when GUN started invading the ark and killing the people shadow truly cared about
At first I thought: Can you really call someone a coward when they could’ve killed you by shooting you in the head point blank? But then I realized, Shadow meant he was a coward because the soldier wasn’t bold enough to just shoot Shadow the second he got. He was a coward because he tried to make Gerald stop Shadow, instead of killing Shadow outright without hesitation.
@@garrettviewegh9028It's a cowardly thing to use one's loved ones against them.
You can tell they really put a lot of work behind making this great job everyone!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Verbelase?! Why no one comment
Thank you so much! About 2 years of hard work
@ is there a lore about the ARK and the fall of the Soviet Union during the Cold wars and the United States forming the United Federation?
@ WOW!
I hope Paramount, or anyone involved in the 3rd film sees this
@@WhisptrzHeatEat shit
This is one of the best Sonic fan-films ever made.
Paramount should take notes and have an opening scene like this
I agree, however I don't think all of Shadow's origin story should be the prologue. It would give away too many things. Well, unless... Shadow's birth can be shown via flashback before cutting to the title card. In fact, you know what? I think Sonic Movie 3 should go the way Guardians Vol. 3 went down. Where throughout the movie, Shadow flashbacks to his past at certain moments.
(Oh my God do Rocket and Shadow share similar backgrounds.)
I think it would work better as a flashback personally
My thoughts exactly.
@@liamphibiathey could do it like SA2 where they show parts of Shadow backstory in certain scenes throughout the cutscenes
I won't be surprised if they botch it!!!!! Showbiz usually does!!!
I love the fact that shadow could've killed the gun soldiers but Maria stopped him
The fact that Mike Pollock was part of this project in the English dub really shows how special this project is to the community. Can't till next December for sonic movie 3.
@@fireboytheone He was actually the tv narrator for the air shows commercial. We got a Very good taste of his talent regardless if he's playing eggman or not.
It's a huge honor to have the legendary Mike Pollock in a quick cameo of this fan project it means the world to us!

22:22 The Raid
Something about seeing shadow be so cheerful and have a bright personality back on the ARK and who he becomes on earth just works too damn well
It's pretty weird at first but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense in context of his early life. Which makes it all the more sadder that the death of of his dear friend Maria would absolutely *change* Shadow.
This is why he's the most compelling because shadow goes through the most tragic things goes through the most hardships sure he tried to destroy humanity and he almost succeeded but he realises it's not what Maria would truly want and he changes for the better
the emotion in his voice begging maria to let him out made me cry so hard, and i don’t cry to movies/tv/videos like at all 😭
I'm hoping that the group responsible for this gets pulled on into the actual Sonic movie series and that they give them FULL creative freedom AND use this in it.
My expectations for Sonic 3 just shot through the after this.
It was an honor to have played Maria Robotnik in English and been a part of this production that is so full of love. Congrats to everyone involved (seriously y'all are so skilled at what you do aaaa I cannot say this enough) and thank you for letting me be a part of it!! Giving my love to everyone enjoying the film!! 💙
@@swissertyAyoo, pause....😮
@@swisserty here's a good idea, seek therapy!
@@swisserty I'm not interested in nsfw work.
Thank you so much for trusting and joining Project Shadow, Maria you're awesome!
darn!! worth a shot! will most likely just use an ai model based on your v chords then. daddys gotta get that dang 4th chaos emarald somenow flamictime!@@TosandThos
when he screamed Maria I was genuinely shocked. That sounded too real 😭
What makes it better is that you don't even see Maria get shot. You just see a gun go off and immediately cut to Shadow's reaction. You can hear him breathing heavily and everything is black and white. All the color and humanity has been taken away from him in this moment. As you said, the way he screams Maria is actually scary how genuine it sounded.
Fr thoo
I finally knew what was shadow's voice
That line was incredibly voice acted
@@complex2live and also the fact that his eyes stays *red* while everything goes black and white… it’s like red symbolises the blood that has being shed
Shadow screaming Maria felt so real 😭 22:23
The storytelling, the voice acting, and oh the VISUALS! How come fan made short film projects like these are so much better than what most entertainment industries make these days!?
Because the fans sometimes understand the characters more so than the directors
*Plus the love of the art of spectacular storytelling over corporate greed.*
So honored to have been a part of this dubbing team!
Great job to João, Elipê, and the rest of the Project Shadow team!
Muito amor! ❤
Sup.
You look familiar
@@robloxundertaledude8489 Dr. Gerald Robotnik
Dude, I knew you were Gerald as soon as I heard him talk! I checked the description and sure enough! Also happy to see you having fun and doing great things Charriii 👍
They need to give you guys a job
6:37 really shows how Shadow went from being Gerald's experiment to a member of his family.
Just what I was thinking 😊
Exactly
Maria saying “Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog” hit me right in the feels, ouch man.
22:00 Just focus on Shadows voice, the actual desperation on his voice is heartbreaking
I know it is heartbreaking I wanna help him so bad
You know, plot-wise, what really breaks me in this one is that while in canon it wasn't shown if Maria would ever be cured, in this one the ring inhibitors were a step closer to that hope. Gerald, Shadow, and Maria felt like they were making a large progress, that Earth was just in reach.....
And then it was taken away.
The worst kind of despair is one that comes straight after a large hope.
and I even theorised that the final cure would've been Super Shadow since it showed in both Sonic X and the second movie that the Super State could instantly heal the user and others.
if you recall in the Sonic 2 movie, Sonic was badly injured in his fight with the Death Egg Robot to the point that he was LIMPING, and covered in dirt, but after the Chaos Emeralds reacted to his family love for Tom and Maddie, he became Super Sonic and he made a full recovery instantly, completely healed and clean even after he reverts to normal.
and in Sonic X, Super Sonic is shown to be able to heal others with his powers, it's not known how far this healing can go, but it's likely it would work on such a cellular level that Super Shadow could have gotten rid of Maria's NIDS entirely, leaving her permanently healthy and on the first space pod/shuttle to Earth.
@@neo-warkid4edwards222 not to mention the IDW comics, since it helped to burn off the metal virus out of him
that too, like I said, near-total cellular healing/regeneration@@somehelluvafanboy8357
It's not a good idea to pit black dooms DNA in sick people. He has mind control over his offspring. Thise aliens ha e alot of powers. If shadow never put the rings on he would've gained more.
The super form has also been shown to go as far as bring back the recently dead in Sonic 06@neo-warkid4edwards222
Sonic Movie 3 may never be able to go this in depth with Shadow’s origin story. We can only hope that Sonic Movie 3 does Shadow justice. You guys did an amazing job!
I realy hope it
I really hope it does tho 😅
Hopefully Sega won't ruin it
I hope they do shadow justice in the third film even if they have to tone down his dark backstory
The writer (Pat Casey) gave this film’s his blessings on his behalf
GREAT JOB!
You managed to make it look AND sound like the next Sonic movie!
😁😁😁
Now THIS is how I want Shadow to be written, someone who use to be like Sonic but changed for the worse due to unfortunate circumstances
Incredible! Well done.
No one ask you I’m make video better than your content
@@WhisptrzHeatTwo words of advice, shut up.
@@WhisptrzHeatSHUT UP YOU CONTENT IS NOT BETTER THAN THIS MASTERPIECE!
@@WhisptrzHeatBro keeps spamming this sh## just to get views lol
@@WhisptrzHeatno one care’s
This was a perfect adaptation of Shadow’s story and my god Maria’s Sacrifice was just heartbreaking! 10/10
I know Maria’s sacrifice was absolutely heartbreaking I feel so awful for shadow he couldn’t do anything all he could do was just watch 😢🥺
@@Starrmonster02 yeah I knew it was bad in SA2 and Sonic X but to show us like if we were there is just tragic!
@@brickzoneanimations8395 yeah now I know how shadow feels and if I was in his position I would have a absolute breakdown
@@Starrmonster02 I mean who wouldn’t go into a breakdown if you saw your best friend get killed right in front of you?
@@WhisptrzHeat wut?
Damn the Maria scream made me tear up and Geralds last message to the world have me chills
The visuals are obviously top notch, but the writing is incredible! Your portrayal of Shadow, Maria, and Gerald are all so wonderful! An excellent blend of movie and game.
Not to mention, the way you portray Chaos Control is absolutely inspired, I hope the actual movie does something like it, too.
Man F*** all the people who mock Shadow for being an "edgelord", as someone who suffers from depression, regurgitated thoughts, and domestic abuse from my childhood, I find Shadow to be the most relatable Sonic character. How can you not feel for this poor soul who had to watch his only friend be murdered due to the government's fear of his very existence? He's even the only male Sonic character that we've seen to shed tears in the games iirc, ooooh how dark and edgy. Despite all of the BS he's been put through, he's learned to forgive and put the past behind him. Shadow the Hedgehog is such an AMAZING character and I look forward to seeing his story on the big screen next year!
Yes, Shadow used to be a great character in Adventure but they nerfed him on the recent media, specially in the idw comics, excepting on Prime. Now he's just a ''Im better than anyone because big ego, look how emotionless and heartless I am, oh I'm so edgy''. Real Shadow is traumatized and lived isolated and captive (he's basically a domestic hedgehog while Sonic is a wild one), he didn't believe by himself to be the ultimate life form, it was imposed on him by everyone, had a lot of pressure to win and saw everything he loved die in front of his eyes while being helpless. He was serious and independent, it's true, but not a clon of Vegeta on crack. He loved someone genuinely to the point of killing to protect them, he cried several times. He was cool
I despise the people who only see him as an edge lord
@@downbadforacomputervirus Me too. I was called an edge lord by Nintendo fanboys just for hoping that Shadow would be playable in Smash Bros Ultimate back in 2018, it really annoys me that people can’t see past the stupid memes and appreciate this character for how well written he was in Adventure 2.
Man f*** , I can imagine the nasty toot he rip when he see Maria get splattered, so amazing. I mostly relate to vector because he’s a money hungry Neanderthal and that coincides with my traumatic childhood as well
W
THIS WAS MORE HYPE THAN SONIC MOVIE 3!! NOW I’M EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR IT!! Sonic Movie 3 has to live up to this!
RIGHT!! If sonic movie 3 doesn't do shadows story justice as this fan-made short film it's not canon to me 😤
Oh i am literally hoping each day they won't screw up his story, the writers might aswell have to learn from this fan project to be honest
@@ZIONOMANIAThey have to at least take a little inspiration from this!
Pretty much.
It won't, They will make Batman jokes
22:23 Shadows scream can power the Monsters Inc universe 💀
Sheesh even the dialogue is so top notch that it literally belongs in a Hollywood standard. Great work guys!
This is easily one of THE best fanfilms I've ever seen. Of any fandom. Just point blank period. I like a lot of homages you did to the other media in Sonic, the reference to the first Sonic movie with "I was not expecting that, but I was expecting to not expect anything so it doesn't count", Shadow's moves against the soldiers were a fun nod to his game moves in his solo game. You even see hints of his more...aggressive so to speak side when he holds the gun at the soldier's face.
Loved the delivery when Shadow says "Coward." too. The voice work was great. You can easily see just how easy it it to tip Shadow over the edge. This just felt like such a love letter not just to Shadow himself, but all of Sonic media. It makes you remember that to Shadow, this loss isn't 50 years ago. It's a recurring nightmare.
Revealed toot rip from a thong string or something as well, I did recall as I ripped fart while Beckham
Hope Sonic movie does something just as good as this. If they don't, i Will take this as the real cannon
I agree. After being in suspended animation for so long, he couldn’t have known that it’s been years since that incident occurred, let alone 50.
This may possibly be the best Sonic fanfilm I've ever laid my eyes on! The final scene with Maria's sacrifice was so impactful and well executed, I felt so bad for Shadow! This seriously raises both my expectations and excitement for Sonic 3 by a lot and I really hope that the people working on the movie get the chance to see this to take inspiration from the love and care put into it!
This is truly a honor thank you very much!
Disculpa mi Ignorancia Pero el corto trata de la historia de Shadow, verdad? Osea los que trabajaron en el filme no le agregaron nada que no fuera parte de la historia canónica?? 👀
@ I kinda wish that you were hired to make this because it's that good
Cool vocaloid character letzyperez ❤
@ bro I love shadow the headghog he is the most of my favorite character in the game and sonic the headghog ❤😊
I'm so glad this was made, the movie's not gonna take a dark enough turn for shadow for the kids' sake. That story and mostly the ending really understandably justifies the level of hatred he has for humanity
Paramount should pay to use this version of shadows backstory because man this was awesome. I like how they even had shadow making the funny crazy face when he took the gun from the soldier like in the shadow the hedgehog game
Man, Maria's final moments were so harrowing and the horror in Shadow's eyes was heartbreaking. This was such a cool film! Mad props to everyone who worked on it! So much hype for Sonic 3
HE IS SUCH A HAPPY BOYYY WHEN HES WITH MARIA!!!
Yet the death of his dear friend changed him forever.😔
@@liamphibia true😭😭😭💔
This in my opinion is one of the best uses of the source material for anything Ive ever seen. Writing these characters in such a great way that adds more depth and putting a unique spin on the story whilst keeping it true to the original material is absolutely incredible, genuinely these are the kinds of people that should be making the actual movies because if they’re anything as good as this with a much larger budget would really just be any sonic fans wish come true. Seriously amazing job guys!
They could make a full on Shadow movie with this and it would rock. This was beautiful, the acting was good and fun, the emotions were solid, the way Shadow fought felt like it came from a game, good ol sayonara always brings a tear to my eye.
Sonic 3 take notes!! This is so clean and Shadows personality before Maria's death seems so spot on!
I think they are they did for the Sonic redesign
14:12 Maria definitely got the Robotnik smart gene.
According to the Sonic News Network Wiki Zone Maria Robotnik was implied to come from a long line of brilliant scientists
I wonder if the third installment will even include *Maria's parents,* since we don't know entirely much about the Robotnik family.
Paramount should take notes on this for sonic movie 3
Dude this is the most realistic sonic movies fan made video I’ve ever seen maria & shadow look insane
It all starts with this... a fan film containing the ultimate appreciation for the original.
DAYUM
Haha yeah instead of starting with a chaos emerald it all started with a fan made movie🤣
@@Starrmonster02 😆😄🤣
indeed
My name is shadow, I’m the worlds ultimate life form there’s no time for games farewell!
Gerald's acting IS INSANE he moves and acts exactly like movie eggman. The actor really nailed it
I actually thought this was an official short prequel before I found out it was fan-made...... Still.... as someone who has been a lifetime fan of Sonic since childhood.... BRAVO!! A MILLION times BRAVO!!! Recently caught up with the Sonic Movies and I SINCERELY hope they do JUST as much justice with their telling of Shadow and his tragedy as you all have!!😢
23:28 For like half a second there Gerald sounds almost exactly like Liam O'Brian. Like in my ears that's just War from Darksiders
4:08 😃 Hey! That’s The Unused Song “Broken” that was going to be used on the STH Game but didn’t make it.
I’m glad it’s in this video!
17:05 And a Reference to Shadow the Hedgehog’s Cinematic Intro.
I hope the people who’re working on the 3rd movie watch this and see all the love its getting! You guys put so much care into this, and it really shows!
The whole story explains everything that Shadow wasn't always a "grumpy, moody" guy. All he wanted was to spend time with Maria more. Kudos to the creators for this show.
Jeff Fowler and Tyson Hesse are DEFINITELY taking notes.
Forgot to include Pat Casey and Josh Miller.
I love the part after shadow shoots the target with his hand when Robotnic said "That was not expected, but I was expecting not to expect anything so that doesn't count" That line was used in the 1st sonic movie, just thought that was a funny detail😂
Like Grandfather, like Grandson.
So true
Man, this short film is amazing. It feels like a prequel to Sonic Movie 3. This is epic! Can’t wait to see the third Sonic movie. I’d love to see Shadow make a big hit!
Me too can’t wait to see shadow in action
Same 😊
Imagine they find this and make it canon
your absolutely incorrect
I totally agree! Seeing this actually gives Shadow himself a whole deeper and more emotional storyline (even though this isnt officially CANON....yet) Shadow is a TRUE hero imo!
17:05 super sick callback to the intro cutscene from the game
Honestly that short Film is so well done, Paramount should make it cannon
Truly heartbreaking and extremely well done! The animators, live actors, voice actors, musicians, and everyone else involved in this did an outstanding job! The actual Sonic 3 has some big shoes to fill!
Also, the Mike Pollock cameo was a nice touch!
at the same time there was an inconsistancy in the fact that G.U.N isnt supposed to have formed until after the first sonic movie. but other then that this short film is incredible!
@@slimgrim3607GUN was a thing during Project Shadow’s conception in the comics, games and Sonic X
@@masemboross4996but this is the MOVIE universe, where G.U.N was formed directly after and as a result of sonics fight in San Francisco. The commander even says it himself.
Unless this is a different continuity which just so happens to have a shadow that looks similar to his movie counterpart
Truly an honor to work with such a talented team, glad everyone is enjoying Project Shadow! João and everybody involved worked so hard to make this the best it could be.
I also do hope that the scene at the end with Maria really stuck with you guys, gave it all my all to make that scene as impactful as could be with my performance. Sorry Maria!
That scene had my in tears my guy honestly it’s the best way I’ve seen her sacrifice shown
It was absolutley incredible, you nailed it!

I loved this movie I absolutely loved shadow hes so freaking cute and the relationship between him and Maria is ahhhhh they act like brother and sister 😍🖤🦔
Un increible fanfilm 🤩🍿👏
@@Starrmonster02I ALSO love this short movie "Project Shadow" as well, old friend. AND the end of that movie REALLY wanted me to give poor Shadow the Hedgehog a great big Shadow Hug to make HIM feel better about ALL of his losses, especially the loss of his first friend Maria Robotnik. After all, Shadow the Hedgehog is SO absolutely cute and cuddly, you know... WAY softer and cuddlier than that blue boy Sonic EVER was, SINCE Shadow IS my number one favorite character in the entire Sonic canon, with Knuckles the Echidna as my number two and Vector the Crocodile (Vector the Detector) as my number three. And besides THAT... we can ALL boon from a great big Shadow Hug from Shadow the hedgehog to make us feel better as well as a great big Minion Hug as well as a great big Doughboy Hug as well. They're ALL exra soft and fluffy, you know. And one more thing, stay strong, Shadow the Hedgehog. We ALL love you.

THERES NO GOD DAMN WAY THIS IS A FAN PROJECT, THIS IS SO GOOD
This is legit probably one of the best fan projects in the entire Sonic Fandom! This excellently made! :)
I love this short film and the way Shadow was portrayed. His backstory is remarkably accurate. Potential prequel to the upcoming Sonic 3 movie 😆
This is easily one of the most ambitious sonic fan projects i have EVER seen. Y'all NAILED Shadow's design, the lore explanations behind the air shoes, chaos abilities, & inhibitor rings was excellent, & everyone's characterization was damn near perfect!!! Fantastic job to everyone involved!
Absolutely amazing!!! I PRAY the sonic 3 movie nails Shadow's character and plot this well. You even included shadow's idle animation of fixing his quills from the game, I'm so fucking impressed.
This is just a masterpiece and has inspired me on so many levels to get creative again with one of my all time favourite characters. Thank you.
I thought this was the REAL deal and I was so amped for this to come to the cinema. You guys DESERVE to be taken on for this project. Holy moly. My mind is blown. No one has bothered to really explore Shadow's origins properly. That profound connection between him and Maria, and Gerald's cynism on humanity. I think everyone could just find this profoudn, therapeutic and just enjoy this movie as much more than Shadow being an anti-hero. Thank you SO much for creating this
I've been following this project since the earliest trailers and it's so satisfying to watch this project come full circle. I watched the original version earlier today and now, typing this with about ten minutes to go before the International premiere, I have to tip my hat to this wonderful production. The rendering, the voices, the acting, all of it is amazing. This team is amazing and it's been a stellar journey from start to finish. It's definitely my favorite Sonic fan-project of this year!🦔❤🖤

Same here😀

BRO SHUT UP
I’m talking to whisper hear
*I was not expecting that, but I was expecting not to expect something, so it doesn’t count.*
*-Professor Gerald and Ivo Robotnik*
I guess that mindset runs in the Robotnik family.
Like Grandfather, like Grandson.😁
6:09 … That’s Mike Pollock. Wow, I’m REALLY hoping they adapt this (or at least some of it) for the movie.
That'd be a great cameo.
It is a good short film because we could feel and live what shadow gone through, thank you for this masterpiece 🌟
I can hear the voice of my younger self shouting with excitement. The depth of my adoration for this is beyond comprehension. Your remarkable creation deserves an immense commendation. Without any hesitation, I say that this is the most exceptional Sonic fan endeavor I have ever encountered. Witnessing this fills my heart with joy. Words cannot adequately express the magnitude of my affection for this.
As someone who’s life revolves around Shadow
I completely agree with this statement and more
@WhisptrzHeat i mean if you didn't ask why are you commenting? + why do you keep replying to everyone, no one cares
For sure , it's giving me want to finish up a backstory of my oc which is a direct inspired by shadow too. And revolves around space colony a.r.k headcanon for sure😅
only five minutes in and I am immediately hooked on Shadow’s characterization being a sweet friend/companion for Maria
Maria: Let me see what you have.
Shadow: A Gun!!
Maria: NO!
This version of shadow is really nice, he feels like a younger version of himself, as well as a small mix of sonic into that
And I absoulutly love that characterization into him
THIS WAS SO GOOD, and this is a FAN-MADE FILM, serious respect for everyone who worked on This! It looks so real, and the visuals gave me goosebumps!!!
Thank you very much!
If paramount acknowledges this, that means it’s canon.
THIS NEEDS TO BE CANON TO THE MOVIES!! This amount of effort is too good to not be wasted. Fan movie or not, this is the perfect sonic movie in my opinion. Thus, thank you Santiago for this beautiful backstory!
the part after shadow shoots the target with his hand when Robotnic said "That was not expected, but I was expecting not to expect anything so that doesn't count" That line was used in the 1st sonic movie.
The English dub is incredible, congratulations to the VAs who participated in this project.
Didnt ask@@WhisptrzHeat
He's a bot@@Catswithouthats123
@@WhisptrzHeatwell yeah you didn’t ask…
He never asked you a goddamn question
And who the hell said you make better content.
@@WhisptrzHeat Nah my content's better then urs
21:13 it’s sad that Shadow only remembers that promise after 50 years later and he forgot about that until he met Sonic and his friends
I think in the original SA2 lore Gerald locked himself away with Shadow and Maria after the GUN invasion to reprogram Shadow to use the Eclipse Cannon. When Sonic's fake emerald jammed the cannon and the ARK began to fall that gave time for Amy to spark the real memory
Gerald rewrote Shadow's memories.
Yeah and Maria's death was a Canon event cuz I broke a Canon event once myself you breaking up Cannon save enough captains and we could lose everything
That's why anomalies are very dangerous
What year was 50 years ago?
That post-credit scene was a nice touch.
13:50 I can’t stop thinking about shadow occasionally transforming into a “normal hedgehog”
THIS PROJECT WENT CRAZY HOLY SHEESH
the sound design is amazing the voice acting is amazing the live acting is amazing and the animation, writing, filming, and directing tied it all together to make this whole thing feel real, props to everyone on the team!!!!
So incredible. Shadow panicking and yelling at Maria to let go absolutely broke me, i love my boy. Great job guys!
Me too I was heartbroken for shadow because he couldn’t do anything all he could do was just watch
@@Starrmonster02 he felt so helpless and it broke me
Keanu Reeves is the voice of Shadow for Sonic 3 and I could not be more hyped. He, to me, is the perfect choice. He already knows how to express losing things he loves thanks to John Wick. I am just SO hyped for Sonic 3. And HOLY CRAP this was AWESOME! Him screaming Maria, dude I had to rewind I couldn't believe how well that line was delivered and how well the scene was shot. You did my boi Shadow justice on every level. And can we talk about that ending with Robotnic, that hit hard for me. Outstanding work, you guys have made it onto my favorite indie/fam films projects of all time list. Kudos.
The animation was absolutely phenomenal! I love all of Shadow's expressiveness, and his movements were fluid and natural!! I also adored the Shadow the Hedgehog reference in one of the fighting scenes. The post-credits scene shows really well how tired, hardened and closed off Shadow has become, and i like the detail of the bags under his eyes. Also, how did you get such good voice actors? Shadow's VA was fantastic!! I even loved the soldier's performance when he killed maria, you could feel his guilt and terror at having to kill a child.
Overall this story was written amazingly well, and bridged the original canon with the movie's way of animating chaos energy and powers. Loved this!!!
holy shit. you can see every bit of love and care put into this project and it's just breathtaking. this fanbase never ceases to impress me, this is just amazing.
@WhisptrzHeat uhhhhh ok? i didn't ask about your content lol.
Bot@@vi3686
They should hire this guy to animate in Sonic Movie 3!!
5:56 to 7:25 the music is pretty terrific, it shows Shadow's sense of power and strength without lyrics, the music really shows the character of Shadow the hedgehog. Kudos.
this is wonderful, I'm delighted with this short film💖
This film was amazing! A perfect adaptation of Shadow's backstory! Watching this made me realise that there was a time Shadow was actually happy.
I know it’s so adorable seeing shadow so happy because he’s always mad and brooding
@@Starrmonster02Yeah, since humanity's greed practically took away the only people whom he considers his family.
I love seeing Shadow so happy. If only G.U.N. didn’t do all of this to Gerald Robotnik and Shadow.
@@krististarosta6736 you mean Maria but yeah I agree with you
@@Starrmonster02 Yeah. I meant Maria, too.
