History Trivia / SonicShorts

* DevelopmentHell: The Sega Shorts video was announced shortly after finishing the grand finale Sonic Shorts 8. However, due to the circumstances detailed in the video description (and listed below here), it wouldn't come out until the end of 2018. As Sonic Paradox says...

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The videos are often a product of their time, and you can almost pinpoint where the franchise was, depending on some of the jokes, such as the ''VideoGame/SonicChronicles'' skit pertaining to Shade, the "Robotnik Hates [=4Kids=]" short (even moreso due to the company's later bankruptcy), and a Sonic Sez about not posting animations on Youtube without permission (the crew would eventually put the shorts on Youtube anyway, [[ManipulativeEditing often substituting mentions of Newgrounds with someone saying "YouTube.com"]].).

--->"...We started the project back in 2013 but then our Website/YouTube channel was hacked for almost 2 years making everyone think the channel was dead which in turn stopped new animators joining in the project. When we got the channel back we uploaded Robotnik Shorts along with the Sega Shorts Credits animation: Sega Generations. But it wasn't enough; there was still a lack of awareness that we returned. We had a dry spell because no new animators were joining the team. Fortunately Vectors Knickers and Sonic Seconds brought life back into the channel and we finally got new recruits to help finish the Sega Shorts."

* ActorAllusion:
** One short has Robotnik mournfully flying through his dystopia belting out "Let the Heartaches Begin" by Long John Baldry, his voice actor from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''.
** A cut short found on one of the animators' Website/DeviantArt accounts has a similar idea with Robotnik singing "It Still Ain't Easy," also by Baldry.
* ApprovalOfGod: Oddly enough, Mike Pollock likes the "Robotnik Hates [=4Kids=]" short.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Voice actor [=GameBuddy=] has appeared in every volume. A few of his credits include Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Eggman, Mighty, Bean, Big, Tails Doll, The Penguinator, Heavy, and Doctor Mario. Needless to say, this often leads to TalkingToHimself.
** Along with Game Buddy is Faulerro, AKA The Chio, also appearing in every episode, providing the voice of Knuckles and Dr. Eggman.
** Also appearing is Creator/KiraBuckland (Rina-chan), who makes a few appearances following Volume 3, usually as Elise, Amy, Rouge, Bunnie, or Sally. Oddly enough, these are usually in Flash Twister's shorts.
