Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 113 Average rating: 4.0 "A Fun Time for All" Okay, let me start this review by ssaying I'm not an anime fan. Having that said this is a fun, fast and cool movie with great backgrounds and character designs(despite the President) and some decent action sequences. While the movie should be a little longer it still works well. It was great to finally see Knuckles animated even if his, Sonic's and Tails's voices are off. Well Knuckles doesn't bother me but Sonic's did a little and Tails became annoying right after, "Sonic!" his first line in the movie. And then there's the fact that in the movie they call Knux a mole. He's an echidna but thats to be expected of our translators and dubbers. Anyway I own this movie and like to watch it over and over. Plus there's a good scene of innudeo with Robotnik and Sara. AHEM.....anyway it's a good movie. "Another Sonic Cartoon..." I have seen three of the four Sonic cartoons. This isn't the worse of them, but it's far from the best. While the "Sonic the Hedgehog" show on ABC had a good storyline, good animation, memorable characters, etc and the syndicated "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" had... humor, this lands somewhere in the middle with decent animation, a little humor, and no memorable characters. The story is simple: Robotnik (Eggman to those of you who've latched on to Sonic in his "Adventure" days) has been kicked out of his city, and Sonic has to go save it along with Tails. When they reach there, they fight a giant robot (This particular Sonic is an anime), and beat it with help from Knuckles. Then they go on to find out that Robotnik is behind the big robot, and he now plans to melt the polar ice caps in order to collapse the world. One of the things I don't like about this movie is that the entire world is suspended in the air. This leaves Knuckles pretty homeless (He lives on a floating island in the games). They did give him a nice little niche, though, as a treasure hunter. All in all, this is a good Sonic movie. Not the best, but not the worse. Sonic and Tails' voices may annoy you at first, but you'll get used to them. "It rocked!!" I loved it!! It was funny and it made me laugh! The reason I gave it 4 stars is that it wasn't based on Sonic Adventure and Tails sounded he had something up his nose. But besides that, it was great! "The Sonic that never made it here..." And now it did! Awesome movie. Horrible VA's for Tails, (and sometimes Sonic), but yeah. I love it. But I'm biased. I love Sonic. Yay. "if your a sonic fan you have to see this movie" This is the best movie in the history of sonic so all those sonic fans out there have to see this movie and if they don't like it well, lets just says there not real sonic fans. This movie has a lot of action and also sometimes is funny like the part when.......opps! I don't want to spoil it so watch this movie and find out yourself.
