Spyro the Dragon/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (Video Game)/Trivia|Spyro Enter the Dragonfly]]

* [[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 [[Reno 911!|Carlos Alazraqui]] (probably best known as the voice of the Taco Bell dog) before voice duties switched to [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants|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 [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]. Even weirder, some of the dragons in the first game are voiced by [[Clancy Brown|Mr. Krabbs]], and Zoe in the third game is voiced by Sandy Cheeks.

* [[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 StationPlayStation]]" (considering the games at the time were... [[Metal Gear Solid|rather]] [[Resident Evil|adult]] [[Tomb Raider|and]] [[Final Fantasy VII|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 [[Older Than They Think|being way past their time]] ended up being bought out by Activision games.
