Summary: Sonic the Hedgehog movie- it's good!
Review: Now, i'm a hardcore sonic fan and am espescially a fan of Knux, (That's Knuckles the Echidna) and i have played most of their games, (sonics 1,2, sonic 3, sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic 3 and Knux) but i was totally blown away by the movie! Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are extremely well drawn, though i can say less for Robuttnik. When Sonic and Tails arrive at the presidents house, and robuttnik asks how it's possible for him to be so underhanded, his badniks answer - 'YES, SIR!' of course, i'm not going to spoil everything, you'll have to see it yourself, but Hyper Metal Sonic whips Sonic...I'd like to see the movie where Robuttnik creats Hyper Metal Sonic, Tails, and Knux. Just like in the game, imagine if they all went super, and Knuckles,
Tails, and Sonic had to go Hyper (Turbo, in tails case) to beat 'em!? That would be cool. Well, that's all. Buy the movie, darnit!

Summary: A Fun Time for All
Review: 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.

Summary: Is good if you watch in Japanese with subs
Review: Originally this 'movie' was a two-part special series created by the same team which did the intros/extros to Sonic CD (Sonic Team Animation Studios Japan). It was shown once on a Tokyo-based channel before being released onto video as two separate episodes.
When ADV did the dub, they merged them together to create the 60-minute 'movie', and if you have the original videos (like me), the cuts where they remove the Japanese titlecards are obvious (i.e. when the screen goes all red and the music skips a bit).
The animation was made in 1996/7, and has had three re-releases as the movie, this being the third. Only changes are the boxarts, and maybe the DVD menu system. This is BEFORE the Sonic Adventure adaptations ever existed, so comparing them to this isn't accurate.
The movie itself I believe is very good as long as you don't watch it with the English language switched on. The translation isn't too bad either, though it has been dubbed down a bit, but if you know Japanese you'll still hear the words (when Knuckles gets stuck in glue, you'll see ^_-).
South Island is also the second part of Mobius, Sonic 1+2 etc. are based around West Island, so again, anyone who says that it doesn't link to anything shall have to do a bit more research into the games.
I give this video 4/5 stars because it is very well made and is a good DVD to have in your collection. The art resembles a city similar to New York but after the apocalypse. Attention to detail is very good and ST Animation Studios JP did a good job on this.
(Note: ST AS JP did not do Sonic X which is premiering now. Sonic X is meant to be based loosely to the games, and link them all together. This is meant to be using an original storyline.)

Summary: Sonic the Hedgehog the movie rocks!
Review: Although this is not based on the new game "Sonic Adventure," this is a good movie especially for anyone who's never even heard of Sonic. Sonic and Tails go to the White House to meet the president, his daughter, and Dr. Robotnik. When Robotnik kidnaps Sarah, Sonic and Tails hire their friend Knuckles to help rescue her. Robotnik creates two new inventions -- "Metal Sonic" and "Metal Robotnik." In the Japanese version of this movie, Robotropolis was called "Eggmanland" and Robotnik was known as "Eggman." When the credits start rolling, the song "Lookalike" plays. This movie is highly recommended!The TV series Sonic Underground is also great although there's no Tails in it but there is Knuckles. I hope some of the SU episodes soon get released on video in stores, for the following episodes are a must-see: "Beginnings," "Harmony Or Something," "Mobodoon," "Come Out Wherever You Are," "Friend Or Foe," Six Is A Crowd," "No Hedgehog Is An Island," and "New Echidna In Town." Between now and Christmas, I don't want to know if there will be any SU videos 'cause I want to keep it a surprise. I will put it on my wishlist and if such home videos exist, I'll be I might get one of them!

Summary: I'll be honest...
Review: ...this is a cute movie for children and Sonic-obsessed fans. Parents wouldn't be the type to watch it over and over, but it's a safe film for their children 7 and up. There is violence, so beware. No swearing, no rude hand gestures, just violence that is somewhat mild and disturbing, but safe. Babysitters- this is a good film to get the kids quieted down so you can finish studying for that huge test- it worked for me (to a point). Cute film, but not for everyone.

Summary: It was okay, but not great
Review: Pros: 1. The music is great
2. It's pretty funny
3. The battle scenes were really good Cons: 1. The voices are HORRIBLE!
2. The artwork could've been better
3. It needed a better storyline
4. Sara, the person that they have to save is an indrecibly annoying idiot, and it's a wonder why Sonic didn't just throw her off a cliff
~~~~~~~
Well, here's a brief description. Eggman threatens to kidnap Sara, the presidents daughter if Sonic doesn't save "the land of Darkness" from this reactor blowing up. So Sonic goes to "the land of Darkness", and it turns out to be a trap, and so, Sonic has to fight "Hyper Metal Sonic". It's basically like the video game - Run around. Blow up robots. Yay. It's good for a game, but not for a movie. I wouldn't really reccomend this, unless you're a kid. (I think it was just made for kids, so pre-teens, teenagers and adults think it's a waste of time)

Summary: SONIC!!!
Review: Okay. So I'll admit it. At first I rented it just because I'm a huge Sonic fan and I thought it would be really stupid. (Don't ask.) But then I saw the it. It was hilarious. The "old man" was an old owl who was as empty headed as the day he was born. (I laughed kinda hard at his antics) The president's daughter, Sara, was one of the funnier characters. However, there is some humor that is a little mature (in my opinion) for 7 year olds. It's the funniest part, but it really is a bit- over the heads of the younger Sonic fans. Never mind what her cat tail means. The animation was crude, of course, but the expressions on the characters' faces were really funny. Robotnik and Tails looked the funniest. Oooh! And don't forget the action. There were "badniks" from the original few Sonic games, of course, and Sonic gave Metal Robotnik a headache he wouldn't soon forget. Alas, there was one thing I really hated: the plot. It went all over the place. But the humor was just too much, and I had to give it at least four stars.

Summary: A Great sonic movie
Review: Sonic. This movie is a definate classic. Sonic and Tails are visited by one of the presidents henchmen and are told to go to the presidents house right away. There they find robotnik who asks sonic to go to robotropolis. Whether or to believe robotnik is another question. This movie is a great one for all sonic fans. It may get alittle confusing with characters that new sonic fans have not seen before. Its got comedy, Action, and even alittle romance. I definatly recommend this movie to all anime fans.

Summary: This movie is awesome!!!!
Review: I have always been a huge fan of Sonic. And when I heard about this movie I couldn't wait to get it. Once I finally had it I was so excited and watched it that night.
When the movie was over one side of me was saying "That was super cool" and the other side was saying "It wasn't really what I expected." First off, the Movie itself is really good, if you watch it a second time you will probably like it better because then you pick up that it is supposed to be a funny and action-packed movie. The voices are pretty cool, But I kinda wish they had Ryan Drummond doing the voice of Sonic(voice actor for sonic games)
All in all, if your a huge fan of Sonic, this one is a keeper

Summary: The best sonic movie (or show) ever?
Review: While there has never in my opinion been a cartoon that fully captures the spirit of speed and adventure found in the best Sonic games, this movie probably does the best job I've seen so far. Is the voice acting stupendous? No, more like hilariously cheesy (in a good way). Is the animation incredibly life-like and fluid. Not really, more like Saturday morning cartoons. And the characterization? The video games are deeper. Why is it so great then? SPEED. This movie is fast, fast, fast. If you like the motion-blue zip-zagging that many anime are famous for you'll probably love the action sequences (I know I did). If you love the idea of sonic fighting metal sonic you'll love their fights in particular. And if you can get into the spirit of the whole thing (it is MEANT to be funny and DEFINITELY not to be taken seriously) you'll have a great time. I especially love the music, and the weird jokes like Robotnik and Sara playing a fighting game and her losing over and over. Overall, this is definitely one worth checking out if you are a big video game or sonic fan, or if you've exhausted all the well-known action anime and are looking for something fresh and different (and maybe something cheesy like some of the great movies from the 80's). Oh, and you've got to love the springboards and spikes! Right out of the video games...
