    Highly Overrated But Still Good

    Stoutor

    It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

    Definitely a show worth watching, simply awesome and... dare I say it... radical.

    Let's get it straight that this as the best TV show based on a video game ever made. Although that is not saying much at all. Despite what may seem like a very great comment, let's look at it and see if the show really is any good or not. The intro theme song is a song that sticks in your head even if you don't want it to. It is one of the most catchy theme songs that might have ever been put into a English cartoon. And possibly the second best I have ever heard. Behind the amazing 'I Am The One' from Digimon Frontier. The story is actually possibly one of the darkest that has ever been put onto a kids show. It was actually voted as the second most violent, darkest and serious kids show of all time by several critics. It follows Sonic and a few friends that he has gathered up to defeat Robotnik who had taken over all of their homeland and covered it into a metal wasteland. With only pockets of forest left. That could all be destroyed with Robotnik's progressive advancement with his machines that he has been getting by getting more power on the world. One of the amazing things about this show is that there is no one central character. Yes, we have Sonic, the title character. Who is technically the main character. But there is also Sally, Antoine, Rotor, Bunnie Rabbot. Heck even Robotnik's nephew, Snivley you could argue is a major character. Which is not a surprise, as he is the second cast member credited.All of them, Antoine being the exception, are actually very well developed in even more so in a time when shows like these were expected to just be turn your mind off entertainment. Nothing was expecting it to be the Star Wars of kids shows. Which if there ever was one, it is this show. The effects, while arguably dated now, were superb back in 1993, when this show first came out. And while the characters might not look the best anymore, the lands and world building the show had is outstanding. There is in reality so much good from this show that is is hard to tell what is bad about it. In fact, it is even harder to actually tell what is good about it in depth. From the moment the theme song ended in the first episode to the red glowing eyes in the last episode, you are sucked into this world. You want to see Sonic and his team win, but over time you start to see that you might actually want Robotnik, or at least his nephew, to make it out alive. The voice acting. Don't even get me started on that. If I wanted to, I could make the entire review just about the outstanding performances given in not only every character, but every single line. When I sat down to watch this 26 episode masterpiece, I saw it all in one sitting. When I was done, I felt like I was on the couch for twenty minutes. That is how much it pulls you into the world. This show was so much better than we were expecting it to be. This show was so much better than it needed to be. Than it should have been.While Birth of a Nation may have been the birth of filmmaking on its own level, this was the birth of kids shows in their own levels to. This was the show that showed people that kids shows can be intelligent, can be deep and developed and have story telling as good if not better than adult shows these days. Avatar and all those amazing shows that people talk about cannot have been made or even considered without this show. Not only was this one of the best kids shows ever made, this show is possibly one of the best shows to come out of the nineties. This was back in the days when Sonic was considered to be one of the best franchises ever made. This was in the decade of time when Sonic was almost unstoppable. If only we knew that every Sonic show following would only get worse and worse. But don't worry about that. We have this show and as long as that is around, we are fine. This show gets full grade. 10/10. There is so much great in this show that everything bad is minor by comparison. The worst scene of this is still a thousand times better than the best scene of most cartoons these days. Until shows like Digimon Tamers, Frontier, and Avatar this was the best kids show ever made. Hands down, not even with a close range. Arguably better than the other three I listed, this show is a true gem of television. Worth checking out even if you are not a Sonic fan. Because you are watching a birth of a art.

    Thanks to Creepypasta's version of Sally.exe, I finally got to see this brilliant show much better then it! I was just born when the series ended and I'm sure it was a great buzz back then. It's sad that it only lasted two seasons like I would've loved to have found out what Snively was planning!I applaud the cast who were involved in this because honestly, the actors were excellent at playing their characters. Although Jaleel White disappointed me in Sonic Underground, he didn't disappoint me this time! Sally and Sonic were so adorable on this as usual, I'm glad Archie comics got the original guys back on the SEGA list!I have to say, Antoine Depardieu was really hilarious. I loved how the group tease him on how much of a scardy cat he is and how he mixes up his words just because he's a humble Frenchman! I wish himself and Bunnie got married on this like the comic book series! Seeing him wanting Sally doesn't make any sense to me to be honest! It's sad to think that Christine Cavanaugh isn't with us no more, she was such a great Bunnie to this, RIP ♡I was thrilled to have known Tim Curry played Sally's dad, I would love to have seen him more. It's really no fair that he just only appeared once! Even Jim Cunnings as Eggman was awesome too like he does an evil voice pretty good for someone who would play good guys a lot! I'm proud to be a sonic fan and got a chance to see it 20 nearly 21 years later! :D

    I absolutely love this Sonic show way better then the other Sonic shows and it's got such characters to love. I like Tails Sonic's little fox-buddy, Bunnie Rabbot, I thought she's both cute and awesome; Dulcy the funny dragon and Princess Sally, I thought she and Sonic are a great match (*sigh loveingly*).This show has top-notch voice acting from world renown talents like Jaleel White (Sonic), Kath Soucie (Princess Sally Acorn), Jim Cummings (Dr. Robotnik), Rob Paulsen (Antoine), Christine Cavanaugh (Bunnie Rabbot) and Tim Curry (King Acorn). Also I thought Michael Tavera is a gifted composer for the series' musical score, and last the series has excellent story writers like Ben Hurst, Pat Allee and Len Janson.So all in all, I love every bit of this series, and wished it would have a 3rd season.
