Colleen O'Shaughnessey's surprising casting as Tails in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 set the precedent that the films could bring the series' regular voice cast into the new medium, a rarity in the industry.

"When I first started voicing Tails, it was for Sonic Boom and Sonic and Tails already had an established relationship.” However, in the films, this storyline arc changed.

I was auditioning for the show Sonic Boom and I booked Tails, and then it came along with the video games. And here we are 10 years later, and he’s on the big screen, which is just unbelievable.
