... View MoreThis series falls into the trap of the early 90s kids shows: talking down to kids. This Sonic series treated its audience as having no attention span and no intelligence. The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is dominated by frantic movement, poor animation, quick and easy jokes, grating voice performances, and a weird fixation on chili-dogs. Not only was it totally outclassed by its sister series, Sonic Sat AM, but frankly, it was outclassed by most cartoons of the time, even by Bonkers, which aired the same year and had the same number of episodes. All in all, this series does not hold up over time. Maybe it will still keep very young children entertained, but with a huge history of better series, you're better off picking a different one. If you're a really big Sonic fan, you might maybe possibly tolerate the show, but you might as well just watch a different Sonic show.
... View MoreI really like this show. This show makes me laugh out loud whenever the jokes hit home, and there are a lot of them. I have a few pros, and one con actually.Pros: Jaleel White as Sonic. I love Jaleel White as the voice of Sonic. He makes Sonic this sassy, cocky, and wisecracking smart mouth who never really seems to take full attention to whatever is in his way. The backgrounds clearly look like matte paintings, and they are beautiful.Con: Coconuts is a very annoying character to me. I can't STAND him in whatever episodes he's a main character of. So, all in all, if your looking for some great laughs, this is the show for you.
... View MoreIn 1991, one of the world's greatest video game characters, Sonic the Hedgehog, was born(and so was I). Two years later, there were the beloved Comic Book series and two Sonic TV Series. This one was included. I love the video games and the comic book series, but I don't like this TV series. Okay, I'll admit that Jaleel White was good at playing Sonic the Hedgehog, but look how the show portrays Dr. Robotnik(I'll call him Dr. Eggman instead)! In the video game and comic book series, Dr. Eggman was a tyrant. THIS Eggman is nothing more than a dope. Scratch's voice was too annoying and so is Grounder's. And what's with all the screaming and yelling? Is this a cartoon for kids who have Tourrett syndrome?! Look at the backgrounds. They look like the artwork has been done by people who have schizophrenia! There is 0% effort put in the animation. What is this, another one of those badly animated Hannah-Babara cartoons before the Flintstones?! And last but not least, the character design. Dr. Eggman doesn't exactly look like the Eggman from the video game and comic book series. And also, the Sonic Says morals. Sharing and anti-graffiti I can let slide by. However, why would you make a moral about people climbing in washing machines?! I've been to the laundry mat and I've seen not one person who would be stupid enough to climb into a washing machine! And yes, I should call 911 in case if there's some kind of creep trying to kill me and my family! I give this TV series a thumbs-down because this nearly destroyed the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
... View MoreMost people would remember Sonic as the famous video game character that hit consoles in the early 90s. Easily Sega's most famous creation, he went on to appear in future Dreamcast games and became a very famous publicity vehicle for Sega. Most people won't even remember the cartoons - but that is not to say that they aren't food.Though I haven't watched them for years, I can remember that the cartoons were very different from the games. The world was far more zany and far less Earth-like - there were all sorts of new characters not in the games (to name two, Scratch and Grounder), and the episodes actually had plots. Robotnik was probably brought to the screen best as a complete maniac, Sonic was very much like the games - fast and smart, and Tails was the snivelling little sidekick. The best episode was probably "Tails' New Home" as it was unpredictable, quite scary in parts and meaningful - Sonic actually wanted to get rid of Tails for both of their own good. It would be worth putting on your super sonic sneakers and rushing out to buy a copy of this forgotten classic - it is better than some of the trash that we get nowadays.The Sonic TV show is no masterpiece, but it is sure enjoyable and in every bit as classic as a game. Nearly a spiffing job! 8/10
