4	'''The .EXE Saga: Reanimated''' is an adaptation of seven .EXE games by Canadian game developer ''[=Oldum77=]'', who had stepped out in 2021 before returning the following year with [[https://gamejolt.com/games/ts_exe_remaster/746151 the remastered version of TOYSTORY.EXE]] and now publishing widescreen versions of his past games. With ''Dark Blue Productions'' in the art department, ''[=RockyBro10=]'' and ''Pico Digital Studios'' (along with other people) putting the games into story format, and a lot of voice actors, this animation adaptation of those games focus around an ancient entity known as Respiro that wreaks havoc in different universes.

6	These universes in question are the worlds of ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'', and ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', each affected by the scourge's wrath in numerous ways as he strives to create what he envisions as an "ultimate utopia", where he's ruler of all.

20	!This animated series contains the following examples:
21	[[folder:General]]
22	* AllCaps: The titles of four of the games mentioned on this page are in all caps, but not their subtitles.
23	* ArtShift: The animations make use of a mix of sprite work and hand-drawn animation.
24	* ContentWarning: As of AWHOLENEWWORLD.EXE, every animation will have a disclaimer at the beginning to warn viewers of the content present in them. This was a suggestion from [[https://www.deviantart.com/zerosoullessofarts ZeroSoulless]] and [[https://twitter.com/AvaSheckles Ava Sheckles]] after the live reaction of the prologue on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIqNQ-PnIDE&t=3741s one of Cam-Cam’s livestreams]]. Those two Greenies ([[AffectionateNickname meaning they’re good friends to CamCamVA]]) will even be credited in the disclaimer.
25	* CosmicHorrorStory: No universe is safe from Respiro, as his reality-altering powers allow him to manipulate what is perceived. As explained in [=TOYSTORY3.EXE=], the reality Respiro creates is an alternate reality, and it remains real for as long as he is around.
26	* {{Jumpscare}}: Considering this is a .EXE project, this is a given.
27	* ShoutOut:
28	** In the prologue, the narrator mentions a few .EXE clones ([[VideoGame/SonicExeNightmareBeginning Exetior]], [[VideoGame/SonicPCPort Lord X]], ''WebVideo/Needlem0use'' and [[VideoGame/SonicEyx EYX]]) who are considered as some of the most popular ones. This was intentional on [=RockyBro10=]’s part, as he wanted to show the evolution of the Sonic.EXE trend.
29	** During the Prologue, the narrator also slightly lets slip a hint that he could be [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys William Afton]], due to the mention of Cassidy and Golden Freddy being seen twitching in darkness.
30	** The second half of the prologue is a massive one to [=Oldum77=] himself, for being one of the sane people involved in a Sonic.EXE-based project.

33	[[folder:Prologue]]
34	* AnimatedCreditsOpening: After all the explanations are finished, the opening credits play out, with a shot outside a grandiose castle, and the interior of it with several pictures framed on the walls. The shot eventually settles in a library, where the book discussing Respiro's tyranny lays.
35	* HeWhoMustNotBeNamed: The name of Sonic.EXE’s original author is censored throughout the video, with every mention of him showing an image with the caption “You don’t need to know him” ([[RuleOfThree the third time]] showing Sonic.EXE frowning). Given what said creator had done, it’s no wonder the writers decided to not say his name aloud.
36	* ShoutOut:
37	** At the beginning of the video, gameplay footage is shown, not only of the original duology of games, but also for ''VideoGame/SonicExeSpiritsOfHell'', ''VideoGame/SonicPCPort'', ''VideoGame/SonicEyx'' and ''VideoGame/SonicReclassified''. ''VideoGame/VsSonicExe'' is also given a mention, alongside the reason it collapsed.
38	** The opening credits take after the openings of Disney movies such as ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' and ''Film/{{Enchanted}}''.
39	** Several people pointed out that the castle seen in the opening credits bears a resemblance to Cinderella's castle in Disney World. Rocky himself acknowledged this, and in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twqXrTlsIE8 second update log]], he revealed a blueprint version of the castle.
