Thanks to SonikkuForever for uploading this gem to YouTube. EDIT: After some research, we have now been informed by SonikkuForever that this video is from Pakistan. Stiiiiill funny.
Yeah.. I’ve noticed French Sonic is always scraping the bottom of the barrel. Have you heard their voice actors?? If you have one of Puto’s Sonic X episodes you can hear them, you just have to switch the audio channel from the Japanese one to the French one, heh.
“Rogue,” huh? Well, I can never show any frustration towards a younger one for saying it like that again; after all, despite there being media everywhere indicating that “Rouge” is not pronounced that way, some official guy got it wrong, so it must be okay!
This is the best redesign of Sonic ever, especially Rouge. Forget about this so-called “anatomy” and this mythical “quality control”, what SEGA really needs to do is make polygonal LEGO people!
Also Shadow looks better than ever… He really does. >.>
I still have the crappy Rogue and Amy tennis thing. I don’t live in europe, but that same happy meal toy was released in America way back when that game came out.
Why they didn’t just redub the British version of the advert for those toys, I dont know! In that version they used the official Heroes cutscene models!
Oh, they didn’t even know well the characters!! Rouge looked like a Rabbid reject, but she was the less skew-eyed of all the bunch, at least.
I think I misheard “Cream’s Pot Flower Catch!”, but maybe, that’s the reason behind this abhorrent spot ad.
When I first uploaded this video I assumed it was European because it had the European variants of the toys. Later, I found a similar video, clearly from the same "set" of commercials, that was confirmed to be from Pakistan. Want to see Ronald McDonald and his friends butchered by that same "company"? You don't? Well, here's the link anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX54qj35V1U

We’ve had the same games in happy meals here in Brazil circa 2004-2005. I had a Knuckles baseball one, my friend had the Sonic one. I don’t think we had that commercial, though.

Note “Rogue” was naked.
Otherwise, animation is on par with Sonic Heroes.

What’s in a French Happy Meal anyway, escargot and wine? :v

It's Urdu.
Still doesn't change the horrid animation.

Well, not that all the French actors are bad, in fact the Tails and Amy ones are pretty good, but a lot of them are just complete epic fail...

He also doesn't have a second tail, and Sonic has no backspines... and Amy is cross-eyed.
