    They would try and release it as a game.

    With a jigsaw puzzle, memory quiz, and coloring book.

    Maybe even a re-dub.

    Now that is an idea I can get behind fully.

    I can pretty much guarantee I can do a wider variety of voices than the Phoenix Games voice actor can, and I'm not exactly Billy West.

    If you close your eyes while watching it, it's literally impossible to tell who's who. Until you get to the bloodcurdling "UHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH" candy-bear cackle, that is.

    It should be explained again, 'White Van Racer' isn't as preposterous as a lot of people seem to think. White Ford Transit vans are synonymous with bad driving here in the UK, as they're usually driven by the jerks who cut you up and try to cause as much carnage as possible. Lame idea for a game? Yes. Completely arbitrary? Not so.

    What are the names of the characters in Animal World Soccer?

    Little dog - Crummel, Grommel?
    Simba - Yovi, Jovi?
    Reporter - Harry

    I don't know, but I'm forever walking up to my brother and mumbling "Hey there Crummel". Also, I thought Simba was called Joe.
    I just love how badly it fits. Simba's a lion-cub, yet he's voiced by someone who's clearly a fully-grown man, and as far as I'm concerned, he's called Joe.
    They're just not even trying.

    So did they outsource the animation to an eastern European country or did they just have one retarded guy draw the frames?

    It looks like they just traced a Disney character, then got some blind schoolkids with Parkinson's to animate a couple of frames.

    And Schilling.. that's a Herculean effort, son.

    That whole situation is so fucking awkward and pointless it makes you wonder why the animators put it in.

    Who said it was a movie file of any kind. Knowing these fuckers its a gif animation with a wav sound file.

    That should be easy. Someone still needs to buy the other games. There are the Countryside Bears, Dalmatians 3, Dinosaur Adventure, Atlantis, Herkules, Legend of Camelot, Hansel and Gretel, Pinocchio, Mulan, Son of the Lion King, Toys Room, and Snow White. That is a lot of hilarious crap that I have no idea how to buy.

    The saddest thing about those videos is that the 2 voice actors ( I think there's only 2, which is still twice as many as Animal Soccer World ) sound like they're making a real effort. It's too bad they're working on crap like this.

    God, Bad Voice acting physically makes me cringe, I don't know why. Like, I feel like I'm in those voice actors place and I'm making a jackass of myself. Needless to say watching these Phoenix Games videos is making me feel incredibly uncomfortable and questioning my sanity. This is worse than fighting game voice overs. This is like worse than Ky-Kiske's English Voice Actor in Guilty Gear saying "oh no I'm falling". This is worse than fucking "This isn't brutality, its a fatality".

    Man, I wonder how much these Phoenix Games voice actors were paid.

    EDIT: Whoa, did that dalmation just say DAMN! in Dalmatians 3? Damn, Phoenix Games are really trying to appeal to a broader audience.

    EDIT2: Another DAMN? Geez, these guys are really trying to boost sales.
