"super sonic at its best" this movie is SWEET.I think it was perfect.It has a good plot.same people.all though it could of been amy rose instead of the presedents daughter for a hostage.but it was still a great movie "Nostalgic, ain't it?" I remember when many of my friends and I obsessed over the old SEGA Genesis games featuring Sonic the Hedgehog. Now, after seeing some of the best anime from overseas, I still can't stop loving Sonic. There are some minor flaws to the movie, but it's just too much fun to notice. First off, let me warn you: GET THE DVD AND ONLY PLAY THE JAPANESE VERSION! The dub will literally hurt your ears. The seiyuu picked for the Japanese voices, however, are excellent. (Especially for Knux!) Never watch the dub unless you need a spiteful laugh. I don't know what they were trying to do, but both Sonic and Tails sound like they have nasal problems. Knuckles' voice is just wrong. The only reason I did not detract stars is because I never need to listen to the dub again. The Japanese version is music to my ears. And about the music... It's great! The general SEGA style, upbeat, technoish, fast and fun. It's all too catchy. The animation is a bit DBZish. (That's not a compliment) I guess it most reminds me of Final Fantasy Unlimited because there are very few shadows that define the characters... They look a bit two dimensional. Surprisingly, it improves a bit during the second half of the movie. The characters in it are: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, Sarah, Old Man (Some owl), and the President who is father of Sarah. None others. (Sorry comic and cartoon fans, no freedom fighters besides the blue blur and flying fox) I don't mind, though, because for the condenced and isolated story, it works to have only the main characters. And while it doesn't follow nearly the same way, it does remind me of the games. I highly recommend this to Sonic fans, but like I said, keep it Japanese. Hey, it IS anime, afterall. "I Love tails" I Love the show it is so cute but the cutest chacter i like is tails. First when i bought the games i became a sonic the hedgehog manieac and then started to watch the shows.
