Timothy Goldberg Okay, I have an account now, and I can't honestly think of a better use for it than to review a show starring my favourite game/TV/comic character: Sonic the Hedgehog. The second of three Sonic shows by DiC, it features the cast of the Archie comic series (though their original conception was for this show) and a more serious bend than the others. That's not to say that this is some overly emotional, crisis-every-day drama series. Heck no! Sonic and friends toss around phrases like "Let's do it to it!" and ham it up all the time. Honestly though, that's a part of what makes this show so entertaining: they can maintain serial-like plots without taking everything seriously all the time. Well, at first anyway (more on that later).The focus of the plot is that Dr. Ivo Robotnik has seized control of Mobius from its rightful rulers, and a band of freedom fighters have to join together to try and regain control. Our heroes are: Sonic, a blue hedgehog who happens to be the fastest thing alive. Tails, a two-tailed fox who hangs around and helps out once in a while. Sally, a creature of undeterminable species (she might be a chipmunk) who is the leader and the brains. Bunnie, a half-robot rabbit who has incredible strength and agility. Antione, another creature of indeterminable species (coyote?) who tries to guard Sally and help out, despite his cowardly streak. And, my personal favourite, Rotor, a walrus who acts as the mechanic and builds gadgets and junk and stuff of varying use.Now, for the meat and potatoes. First off, Season 1 is great. The characters were all very well balanced, and no one was over-exposed or ignored. Even characters like Tails, who didn't have much to offer other than moral support, got their due attention. The plots were interesting as well, and you could never really predict what was going to happen. There wasn't a single episode here I didn't like, which is more than can be said for most shows. However, not all is rosy. Animation mistakes are rampant, and while some are nitpicky others are hard to miss. Sally's eyes turn black, parts of objects/characters are coloured wrong, Sonic's lips move disconnectedly with his speech sometimes, and in one episode they gave Rotor ears! Now, in Season 2, there were several improvements, but also many bad changes. The animation mistakes are pretty much history (thank goodness), and the thematic musical score is actually good enough to notice. Sally has been redesigned slightly, and now sports a snazzy vest. Also, SpyHog id right up there with the best of Season 1. The good points pretty much end there, though. First on the negative side of things, we have a new freedom fighter called Dulcy the Dragon. Not only does she come out of nowhere with no explanation whatsoever, but she has a tendency to annoy with her "Hi, Ma!" jokes (as does Antione with his babbling). That's not at all the worst thing, though. Right off the bat, Rotor has been slapped with a bad redesign (go look up a picture. Ugh.), a generic new voice, and is shoved off so far into the sidelines that he hardly seems to be there. Actually, he does get to feature in one episode (well, more like 1/2. You'll see what I mean), but he acts completely out of character by being hotheaded and creepy. As the final curbstomp, he is also left out of the big hurrah in the last episode. Speaking of which, the show's conclusion is terrible. I won't spoil anything, but they really should have considered the possibility of there not being a third season.Despite all my venom about Season 2, I would still recommend this show in its entirety. Although it really isn't as good as Season 1 at all, it is still worth watching. If you're a Sonic fan, or just like well-made action shows, I would certainly recommend this.

Catherine_Grace_Zeh Wow! This is a really cute, fun, and entertaining show based on a series of classic video games. I said that because I watch this on DVD with my 5-year-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which which episode I like the best. Still it's really cute, fun, and entertaining show based on a series of classic video games. Also, it's hard to say which mishap is my favorite. In addition, I love it when the line, "I hate that hedgehog!" is yelled. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at DiC Enterprises and NCircle really know how to entertain children of all ages. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, and entertaining show based on a series of classic video games. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.

jadeddee This was a truly great show. I'm only 18 years old now, which means I was about 3 or 4 years old when this show came on, but I still remember coming home from church on Sunday mornings and running straight to the t.v. to watch this. You'll be surprised at how much I remember about the characters. From Sonic, to Dr. Eggplant and his crazy moustache, to Tails, the lovable animal whom I thought was a mixture of a cat and a dog, this show never ceased to entertain the child in me. After playing this game on my brother's SEGA Dreamcast, I fell in love with Sonic and the story lines that the show had. I'll probably never forget this show, thus proving this show had something special because I was such a young girl. I hope I can find this show again and be nostalgic of the last decade of decent cartoons.

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) 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.
