Spyro the Dragon/Trivia


 * Spyro Enter the Dragonfly

All

 * Hey It's That Voice - The first game in TLOS, with David Spade playing Sparx.
 * Also, in the original trilogy, Spyro was first voiced by Carlos Alazraqui (probably best known as the voice of the Taco Bell dog) before voice duties switched to Tom Kenny. In the first game Clancy Brown also provides some dragon voices.
 * Spyro is voiced by Elijah Wood in the new trilogy. You will recognise his voice.
 * The Electrolls in the level "Hurricos" in Spyro 2 have the exact same voice of Spongebob SquarePants. Even weirder, some of the dragons in the first game are voiced by Mr. Krabbs, and Zoe in the third game is voiced by Sandy Cheeks.
 * Malefor is voiced by Mark Hamill.
 * Executive Meddling: Heck, this whole franchise was built around this trope. Originally, Sony of America wanted to create a "kid friendly game and character for the Play Station" (considering the games at the time were... rather adult and teen oriented), hence the creation of the franchise, in which Insomniac never even had the full rights of in the first place, which resulted after Year of the Dragon's release that the franchise was sold and then became a Franchise Zombie until purchased by Sierra, who being way past their time ended up being bought out by Activision games.
 * The Other Darrin- In the first game Spyro was voiced by Carlos Alazraqui, then by Tom Kenny and Jess Harnell and now Elijah Wood. Within The Legend of Spyro Trilogy, Sparx changes voices in every game (David Spade, Billy West, and Wayne Brady), and Cynder goes from being Cree Summer to Mae Whitman, and then Christina Ricci.
