The History of SONIC RUNNERS - The LOST Sonic Mobile Game PatMac 2019-03-17 | Learn about the BEST Sonic The Hedgehog game YOU can no longer play!Sonic has starred in many mobile games, most of which you can still play today, however, in 2015, Sonic Team released their own mobile game, and a little over a year later, that same game was already deemed a failure and was cancelled. In this feature-length video, I go over the entire history of SONIC RUNNERS, the now unplayable Sonic mobile game.Sonic Runners was a short-lived endless runner mobile game released in 2015 for iOS and Android devices. Personally, I found it to be one of the most enjoyable Sonic games I've ever played. Unfortunately, as the game had many design flaws which were never fixed, the game was quietly cancelled. Sonic Runners was special as it was full of fan service, and celebrated the entire history of the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise. From including playable characters like Tikal, Sticks and Mephiles, to having an incredible OST, Sonic Runners had it all.If you ever wanted to learn pretty much everything you could ever possibly learn about this now dead Sonic mobile game, you came to the right place. This is THE HISTORY OF SONIC RUNNERS, and I hope you enjoy.HUGE thank you to @Aerobian-Angel for the incredible thumbnail artwork, you can check his work out here: twitter.com/Aerobian_AngelSources - thank you to all of these awesome people for making this video possible, without them, Runners would be even more lost than it already is:1. premydaremy - youtube.com/channel/UC7W7XysIo5vIHO5jkwP8SBQ2.

The Beauty of Nostalgic Liminal Spaces PatMac 2023-12-31 | During many moments in our lives, we hit a turning point. A state of transition we can't turn back from. One way we've found to convey this is through what are known as "liminal spaces". Areas that represent those weird eras in our lives where we feel stuck between... really, anything. Physically, mentally, metaphorically, as long as something is moving from state A to state B, it can be liminal. These spaces can be pretty much anywhere, but they all give off that same weird vibe. They can be nostalgic, melancholy, fascinating, and so much more. They're like time capsules in the form of archeology, and are all very cool.Sources:-Playlist of additional videos on liminal spaces, sources of footage used, and music used: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd9K3Vyfq1xd8DETW-G4hplK9mm8TOlch-A majority of photographs were sourced from reddit.com/r/LiminalSpace-This awesome page with lots of cool photos found while making this: youre-dreaming-302.tumblr.com-The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is where the definitions for a majority of the words such as anemoia, kenopsia, hypnagogia and sonder are cited from.-SpongeBob artwork in the thumbnail and end screen were commissioned by the artist Aerobian-Angel, amazing work as always. Bob is truly mystified by the lost Mexico Mario 64 theme park.This type of imagery has inspired lots of great artists over the years, and that is something that was skipped over in this video. I focused more on the real world locations for the most part, but the works of liminal artists is also very breathtaking and worth looking into. Also, the definition of liminal space is very flexible and for the sake of including more personal nostalgic entries, I was very loose with what I considered. The definition isn't perfectly defined, so I recommend you decide what you want to figure as a liminal space, as it is so personal, and under the right circumstances, pretty much any space can become liminal. I also wanted to focus on purely liminal spaces, which is why the backrooms were only lightly covered, but they themselves are also very neat.This video is being uploaded on New Year's Eve 2023! Going into the new year itself is a transitional period, so it can also be considered liminal, so I guess this is a new years special. In any case, to everyone who is reading this, have a good 2024!This video was made in appreciation of the aesthetical art form and the ideas it represents, I hope this brings the concept to even more people and inspires more discussion. I do not take credit for any of the photos used in this video, or even really any of the ideas, this is just a topic I've liked for many years and wanted to make something about. Thanks for watching!
The Pokémon & Detective Conan Crossover Stage Play - Conan in The Land of Pokémon PatMac 2023-07-31 | In the year 2000, there was a stage play that crossed over the Pokémon and Detective Conan anime series, featuring the voice cast from the Arabic dubs of the time, making it an official crossover of those versions of the shows. This is Conan in The Land of Pokémon, a play that promotes the channel Spacetoon, Pokémon and Detective Conan.Team Rocket have created a fake Ash doppelganger to trick his Pokémon into destroying the Earth! Luckily, Detective Conan is here to uncover the truth and save the land of Pokémon.This video covers the play itself, what we know about its production, home media releases, other similar plays, and more.The footage of the play used comes from a DVD transfer of the IVC VHS, so it is not the greatest quality, but the best that could be found. It’s possible an official DVD release of the play exists somewhere, and that would have higher quality footage. It's also likely more releases of it on VHS exist and a VCD release is possible as well. The app referenced in this video does have a higher quality version available for purchase, but it has watermarks and is stretched and cropped.One thing skipped over in the video is the actual live performances. There’s a poster promoting it, a date of performance (December 23rd, 2000), but the footage we have is the edited for home version. The live shows could have had differences, but we don’t currently have much information. We can assume there was at least this filmed run, and at least one live showing, but there were likely more performances than that. The number of shows and other dates or areas it was performed is unknown. Think of this video as mostly focusing on the home media version.This year, Ash is leaving the Pokémon anime, so it’s a perfect time to showcase this story about everyone celebrating Ash and his accomplishments. Additionally, a new English dub for Detective Conan also began releasing episodes on the streaming service Tubi earlier in 2023, the first time official English dubbed episodes were released in over a decade. Conan is successful in most countries, but North America is one of the few where it relatively isn't as well known, so we all wish the best to the new English dub’s production team if they plan on doing more episodes or movies, as well as other companies dubbing the series around the world, such as Venus Centre who continues to dub Conan to this day.The goal of this video was not only to get this documented and more well known, but also to hopefully inspire future documentation of other lesser known content, especially international media. If this, a crossover of two of Japan's biggest series, has existed relatively unknown around the world for 20 years, who knows what else could be out there.Credits for the play & additional info: elcinema.com/en/work/2011639Important terms (English & Arabic):Detective Conan: المحقق كونانPokémon: بوكيمونConan In The Land of Pokémon/Conan in Pokémon Land: كـونـان في أرض البوكيمونConan Play in Pokémon Land (name from writer's website): مسرحية كونان في أرض البوكيمونSpacetoon: سبيستون“Conan on The Air” Spacetoon show: برنامج كونان على الهواءPlaylist of sources, stage shows, music & other videos of interest: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd9K3Vyfq1xe32M40qGaNPG5EZcCCrYDaSpecial Thanks:-DerbyDali, someone who is incredibly knowledgeable on Spacetoon and their shows. The first one to bring this play’s existence to me, and also created the great animation shown before the play segment.-The thumbnail and in-video artwork were commissions drawn by the artist Aerobian-Angel, who did a great job.-The first English translation/subtitling was done by DerbyDali, with a second version done by nadasaab22 on Fiverr, who also watched the video to confirm everything was good. The video was then also checked over by arab4translator, also on Fiverr.-Shabab Block 1 Channel, the source of uploads of the CGI Conan on The Air show. Hopefully more clips of that surface.-The sellers that had copies of the play on VHS, and tapes of the Conan anime as well. When importing the tapes of the play, I thought might as well get some of the dub too. Importing international stuff is one of my favorite hobbies, so this was lots of fun.Derby's Archive account: archive.org/details/@derbiiiArchive of the writers’ website: web.archive.org/web/20220125194808/http://alaaaljaber.net/DetailsPlaytexts.aspx?ID=10Dubbing Database article about the Arabic dub of Conan that mentions the play: dubdb.fandom.com/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%82%D9%82_%D9%83%D9%88%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86This video was made for all ages for educational and archival purposes.

A Look at International Cartoon Openings - Dub Theme Songs From Around The World PatMac 2022-07-23 | There's a lot that goes into dubbing a TV show. You have to take something made for one region, and rework it to fit into your market and culture. The changes made to dubs are often looked down upon by fans, but some dubs contain truly unique additional content that go unappreciated outside of their local audience, such as their opening theme songs. Many dubs use original theme songs made to appeal to their specific audience, such as Italy dubs featuring Eurodance songs.In this video, we'll be going over some of the most fascinating examples of this, from countries such as Italy, Germany, France and more. There is an infinite amount of international multilanguage content out there to dive into! Special thanks to the dubbing community. Without the work of everyone in the scene, videos like this would not be possible. This video is a tribute to all the hard work of those who chronicled all of this over the years.Music, footage, clips & sources: -Italian Family Guy: youtube.com/watch?v=hdMN4lkLu4A-SpongeBob mascots dancing: youtube.com/watch?v=P0UmDq7LkyM-Smile.DK Butterfly MIDI: youtube.com/watch?v=3pr2lvEdr4A-4Kids promos: youtube.com/watch?v=9wGBnPeUA_8-Arabic SpongeBob song: youtube.com/watch?v=xILQRZ1F1OEITALY:-Dragon Ball: youtube.com/watch?v=HVx1Lox3mGA-Detective Conan: youtube.com/watch?v=Uqn0Y2x2kcY-Yu-Gi-Oh: youtube.com/watch?v=vzmF0h-cU8k-Digimon: youtube.com/watch?v=ke92ByZW0MY-One Piece: youtube.com/watch?v=QFsZoCleX3w-Dexter's Lab: youtube.com/watch?v=IxaDzALq7rg-My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: youtube.com/watch?v=txcSPS2To8Y-Italia1 promo: youtube.com/watch?v=pmyYT3C2O-0-Dragon Ball Z (What's My Destiny Dragon Ball): youtube.com/watch?v=zSDjgi5KwgA-Boing DBZ commercial: youtube.com/watch?v=qNHxUw9ohys-The New Adventures of Lucky Luke: youtube.com/watch?v=VQtSRerERq4-Dragon Ball GT: youtube.com/watch?v=j1WCN_0TziE-Dragon Ball Super song: youtube.com/watch?v=LRQPVoyYCYU-Rossana (Kodocha): youtube.com/watch?v=jMr2Frsn1p8-Adventures of Sonic: youtube.com/watch?v=-kQANR9krcY-Widget: youtube.com/watch?v=4SjIqZ9xgxk-Castilian Spanish AoStH: youtube.com/watch?v=zf2qry-wTmU-Mario: youtube.com/watch?v=NOVhN4NkUpc-Castilian Spanish Mario: youtube.com/watch?v=PsC1dKGirH0-Sonic X: youtube.com/watch?v=xKi5ftqZ3tA-Kirby: youtube.com/watch?v=j-44h7EOHLs-SpongeBob: youtube.com/watch?v=DeovH6lGhasGERMANY:-Naruto: youtube.com/watch?v=d8xoTBZrzko-Sailor Moon: youtube.com/watch?v=dn7Nv1sn6LQ-Mega Man: youtube.com/watch?v=HFEBaAxO7W0-SSJ2 Gohan song: youtube.com/watch?v=mFJ1Kke8yKwFRANCE:-Sailor Moon: youtube.com/watch?v=syym5mKdCV4-Ranma 1/2: youtube.com/watch?v=r_qDbePg48A-Dragon Ball: youtube.com/watch?v=CPHT5ux1rtg-DBZ: youtube.com/watch?v=mWYVKVfA3kg-Adventures of Sonic: youtube.com/watch?v=nqDxDknx_II-AoStH singer singing it in 2021: youtube.com/watch?v=0objOGkM5A0ARABIC:-Hunter X Hunter: youtube.com/watch?v=vUy6HZArHSY-Detective Conan: youtube.com/watch?v=86AWS25JKm0-Ranma 1/2: youtube.com/watch?v=nDy2XQnYjT0-Dragon Ball: youtube.com/watch?v=eeE0Xgi4S2k-DBS opening: youtube.com/watch?v=7Z_htYtr67U-DBS ending: youtube.com/watch?v=ZHpa96UKWv4CONCERTS:-Italian DBGT: youtube.com/watch?v=MEPpVxU13XQ-Italian Digimon: youtube.com/watch?v=KrYKR-6fGnw-Giorgio Vanni & Cristina D'Avena One Piece: youtube.com/watch?v=mrmnpinX1Uc-Giorgio Vanni Lucky Luke: youtube.com/watch?v=N7nfOZ8ShA0-Ariane DBZ: youtube.com/watch?v=Rr5hYP4nBHYETC:-Giorgio Vanni Coca-Cola: youtube.com/watch?v=oyjhmHd9uZ8-Canada Dragon Ball: youtube.com/watch?v=cHNUdQBsM9Q-Original 4Kids "We Are": youtube.com/watch?v=ZrHO6DtFJ-Y-Korean One Piece: youtube.com/watch?v=QbI_N4M5GFc-Portuguese Johnny Test: youtube.com/watch?v=Cxi9TvlZnrU-Hindi Regular Show: youtube.com/watch?v=AYgJhtTGsxI-Japanese Donkey Kong: youtube.com/watch?v=byZ3wEeVqMQ-Korean Blue's Clues: youtube.com/watch?v=xNOhKKMIgYI-DBZ en Balaídos: youtube.com/watch?v=wagPauunxbE-Aoi Kaze no HOPE: youtube.com/watch?v=z00VOo6kdKM-The Dubbing Database: dubdb.fandom.com/wiki/The_Dubbing_Database-The Lost Dubbing Wiki: lostdubbing.fandom.com/wiki/Lost_Dubbing_WikiThis video was made for educational, archival, and entertainment purposes.

How Many Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Characters Have Plushes? PatMac 2021-11-06 | The Super Smash Bros. series is a celebration of countless video game franchises and series, all represented together in one game. In a way, that's a lot like a merchandise collection, where you showcase all these franchises you love with your merchandise on display.

How many have official plushes available on the market today? That's what we're finding out today.This video is a remake of the original "How Many Super Smash Bros.

A Look at Movie Merchandise & Promotions - SpongeBob, Shrek, Sonic & More! PatMac 2020-09-25 | There's nothing quite like movie theaters. Going to the movies is always such a great experience. The atmosphere, the concessions, and of course, the movie displays! Whenever a movie is released in theaters, companies produce tons of extra material made to promote the films. Posters, standees, statues, and even publicity stunts are just some of the creative forms these can take.There is a lot more to the release of a movie than the film itself. Lots of promo items and material is prepared and released to help boost the movie's chances of being a success. Almost any film you can think of has its own material. Alvin & The Chipmunks, Kung Fu Panda, Sonic The Hedgehog, Spider-Man, The Smurfs, and much more!In this video, I talk about movie promotional items, statues, tie-ins, a marketing stunt gone horribly wrong, and more! Do you remember the time 7-Eleven became the Kwik-E-Mart for The Simpsons Movie? Or the time a Cartoon Network movie sent an entire city into panic? All of this and more is discussed in today's video.

How Many Ports of Sonic 2 (1992) Exist? - Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Release History PatMac 2020-07-24 | Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is one of the most iconic games in the Sonic series, and ever since it was originally released on the SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive, the game has seen many rereleases, ports, remasters and more. Sonic 2 has one of the most fascinating histories of any video game, and I go over all of that in this video.

A Look at Fascinating Cartoon Pilots - SpongeBob, Jimmy Neutron, Sonic & More! PatMac 2020-02-28 | Cartoons can have such fascinating histories, given how much goes into making them! When making a cartoon, you need to develop the characters, the setting, you need to make a pitch for your show and think of episode ideas, and eventually if you're lucky, you'll have to make your pilot episode!A pilot episode is an episode of a show that's basically a test, to see what works and what doesn’t, along with giving the network or producers a good idea of what the final show will be like, if put into full production. Pilot episodes are often created several months to years before the final show enters production, and as such they often have many interesting differences compared to the final show!In this video, we'll be going over some of the most interesting cartoon pilots out there. We'll be showcasing the development histories of shows like Jimmy Neutron, SpongeBob Squarepants, the many Sonic The Hedgehog cartoons, The Fairly OddParents, Family Guy, and many more! We'll even discuss pilots you can't find nowadays, as many of them have become lost media.If you enjoyed this video, be sure to subscribe and check out my other videos!

PatMac 2019-04-01 | From Bonzi Buddy to Bubsy, let's look at some of the weirdest promotional plushes you can find!I've always looked at plushes and toys in general as a form of art, however it is true that many of them are made purely for marketing purposes. Many companies released plush toys to advertise their brands and franchises, no matter how iconic they are. In this video, I'll be going over some of the wackiest and craziest brand promotions I can find, or at least ones that I find interesting. We're covering plushes like Bonzi Buddy, DeviantArt's Fella, Tony's Pizza and even Bubsy, along with many more you may find interesting.

The Importance of Animation Cel Collecting - Sonic, Mario, SpongeBob & More! PatMac 2019-01-21 | In the past, I’ve covered several types of collectibles. Figures, plushes, pretty general stuff. But there’s a lot more to collecting than just toys, and today I’ll be taking a look at one of the most niche but important collecting hobbies, animation cels!In today's heart-pounding video, I go over everything you need to know about collecting animation cels, and cel animation in general. We're talking SpongeBob, Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario, Family Guy, Sailor Moon, and more. There's clearly a lot to animation cels, and I go over all of it in this video. Basically, animation cels are the drawings of each frame of animation from hand-animated productions. Once computer animation became the norm, this method was phased out, but the cels and sketches from this era have become a huge collecting scene. Want to find out why there's a Family Guy cel listed on eBay for $2500? Boy, do I have the video for you.Sources:1. http://www.rubberslug.com - Fantastic animation cel collecting site, and a great resource for those getting into the hobby.2. allpremiumanimation.com - Site/storefront that sells SpongeBob cels and more.3.

The History of amiibo Prototypes & Leaks PatMac 2018-12-16 | If you were around for the release of Super Smash Bros For The Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, you probably remember just how insane the hype for amiibo was. These NFC-based Nintendo figures captured the attentions of both collectors and non-collectors alike, becoming a huge, albeit short-lived, phenomenon. One aspect of amiibo history I never see brought up are the many amiibo prototypes and samples that have leaked over the years. With every figure line, there will always be early passes of the products. Stuff like one of a kind early tests of the molds, unpainted sculpts, and designs that look completely different from the final products, and of course, amiibo are no different!

REVIEW: TOMY Sonic The Hedgehog INFINITE & ZAVOK Figure 3 Pack! PatMac 2018-10-08 | My review of the recently released TOMY Sonic The Hedgehog figure 3-pack, containing exclusive figures of Infinite and Zavok!If you collect Sonic merchandise, you’ll quickly realize there are certain characters who never seem to get attention. Most notoriously being characters such as Rouge The Bat, Cream The Rabbit, and other more obscure fan favorite characters, as they rarely get anything made of them. Once a character’s time in the spotlight is over, they rarely get anything in terms of merchandise releases. And that’s what makes TOMY’s 3 pack of Sonic, Infinite and Zavok figures such an exciting release! Is this pack any good? Do the Infinite or Zavok figures live up to the hype? Find out all that and more in this review!Music:1. Sunset Heights - Sonic Forces2. Luminous Forest - Sonic Forces3. Lost Valley - Sonic Forces4. Battle with Death Queen (Zavok) - Sonic Forces5.

A Look Back At The Bandai Kirbys Adventure Plushes! PatMac 2018-04-14 | Over the past few years, Kirby merchandise has really exploded in popularity. There was always Kirby stuff coming out, but recently we’ve seen countless plush sets, gashapon figure sets, stuff like that. But with all of these new products coming out, many people have gone back to look at what came before it. But unfortunately, that can be pretty hard to do. A lot of early Kirby sets are very poorly documented, and this set of Bandai Kirby's Adventure plushes are no different.This set has become very popular recently, thanks to how they look. So, if you've ever wanted a full history lesson on that Kirb/Kerbe plush you've seen everywhere recently, here you go.Sources:1.

REVIEW: TOMY Sonic The Hedgehog Ultimate Figure! PatMac 2018-03-25 | One of the main complaints regarding TOMY's Sonic The Hedgehog figures has always been their low level of articulation. While articulated figures aren't for everyone, there is a market for highly articulation Sonic figures, and barely any have come out over the years. Here's a new one! Based on Sonic's classic design, this guy comes with alternate faces, hands, and even accessories and a base! One of the best Sonic figures to come out in a long time, let's talk about it!I ordered mine off of GameStop: gamestop.com/collectibles/toys/classic-1991-ultimate-sonic-figure/153654Sources:1.

A Look Back At The SEGASonic The Hedgehog Celebration Plushes! PatMac 2018-02-20 | Out of all of the eras of Sonic The Hedgehog merchandise, the one that has always stood out the most to me has to be the SEGASonic era. Back in the early to late 90s, Sonic was known as "SEGASonic" in Japan. With it, came an ocean of figures, accessories, stationary items, and of course plushes, released under the brand. In this video, I go over one of the most obscure SEGASonic UFO Catcher plush sets, the SEGASonic Celebration set!Music:1. Quartz Quadrant Present - Sonic CD (JP/PAL)2.

A Look Back At The Takara Super Mario RPG Plushes! PatMac 2018-02-11 | One aspect of merchandise that I haven’t really gone into in too much detail in the past is its relation to lost media. There’s actually a lot of notable merchandise that has been lost over the years. May it be cancelled products, products so rare that barely any images of them exist, or in this case, products that are so impossible to find that they are simply rumor. And that is the case with the set we'll be looking at today! The Takara Super Mario RPG plush set!In this video we look at the entire known set of these plushes, going in depth on their many pros and cons. More importantly though, I'm joined by fellow collector and all around cool guy LSuperSonicQ himself to discuss the case of the rumored Mallow and Geno plushes.Special thanks to LSuperSonicQ for voicing the segment on Mallow and Geno, if you haven't watched his videos yet I highly recommend them: youtube.com/user/LSuperSonicQSources:1. videogamemm.com - Pictures of collection shots, pictures of the plushes themselves.2.

The History of The Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade Sonic The Hedgehog Balloon PatMac 2017-11-24 | During the early 90s, Sonic The Hedgehog was one of the most marketable and popular characters around. And in 1993, with the much anticipated release of Sonic 3 coming up the following year, Sonic hype was at an all time high. In fact, Sonic was so popular that he was given a spot among the top choice characters at the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! However, the Sonic balloon has a pretty interesting history with the parade, as he has made many appearances throughout the years, and has become pretty famous, or, perhaps infamous with fans of the parade.
