Sonic Underground: The Series (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a high quality series, a real value for your money. The Sonic Underground is a great TV series and I have been hoping that they would release more Sonic Underground episodes in Region 1.
If you want a Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon that is follows the same story line as the video games, this series is not for you. If you are looking for a classic Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon with a bit of a twist, I highly recommend this series.
Sonic Underground has a good story line, great characters, and good morals (which is not the case with most of the cartoons these days).Sonia's voice could use improvement, but after you listen for a little while you get used to it.
As for the music, there is one song in every episode. Some adults may not like the songs, but the episodes are geared towards children and most children love the songs. They have a catchy beat, have good morals and are fun!

It is obvious that the creators of Sonic Underground put much effort and time into the detailed artwork and story line of the show. The story line is different than the games, but it is a good story line nonetheless.
There are other episodes that hopefully will be released if there is enough demand for this series. I hope that you will consider buying it so that they will complete the Sonic Underground DVD collection and other Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon series collections.

Sonic The Hedgehog - The Complete Series (1993) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finally, the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon that aired on ABC in 1993-1994 (known as "Sonic SatAM" to the fans) comes to DVD in its entirety. Many of those who managed to catch the show on TV well over 10 years ago fell in love with it then, and have been fans ever since. It had just the right blend of comedy, drama, and action, with no one of those standing out too much above the others. It was also a fairly dark show for its time. This is a much anticipated release in the Sonic fan community, and this DVD set contains all 26 episodes, collecting the complete series in one 4-disc set!
This cartoon was made back before the SegaSonic storyline really got developed, and you won't be seeing familiar faces like Knuckles, Amy Rose, or the more recent characters from Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow and Rouge, simply because, well, none of them existed back then (Sonic 3, which was Knuckles' first game, didn't even come out until the year after it started airing). But that doesn't detract from the show at all as there are plenty of well developed characters added here that weren't from the games. This cartoon set-up the first real storyline behind the whole Sonic universe (in the U.S. anyway), and in my opinion, was one of the best American made cartoons ever. The Archie series of Sonic the Hedgehog comics was loosely based on this cartoon, but really failed to capture the quality of writing used to produce this show. (Archie has since moved on to try to emulate the games more).
Despite the age of this show, if you're a Sonic fan, you definitely shouldn't pass this one up. Definitely the best Sonic cartoon ever produced, in my opinion, as well as one of the greatest cartoons of all time. I'd give it more than 5 stars, but well.. that's the most you can give here on Amazon.com :)
