Sonic really come to a speedy halt in this movie and there a reason I don't mention this movie when I speak of my collection. I'm reviewing this due to hearing rumors of a new Sonic movie in the works. The visual appeal of this movie is attrocious, and makes me wonder how Japan, let alone Sega, could let this come into existence.
If I remember correctly the movie was a two part OVAs realeased way back in Japan, 1996. The animation to me is unexcusably bad. I think by watching this again, I realized how they got the idea for Shin-Chan. The end battle animation between metal sonic and sonic is so terrible and the cuts are painfull to watch. The only nottible moment of this entire movie was a 3 minutes scene that pays omage to sonic the hedgehog game. You might as well watch the Opening and Ending of Sonic CD, those were about the same length and far superior quality of anime.
Don't get me started on the diaologe, It's terrible in either language. Americas take on the dubbing is not only incorrect, it sounds awful. Knuckles wearing a dumbass cowboy hat has a southern US accent that seems to change regions. The rest of the characters are bad and this is a movie that should show voice actors how not to act. Sonic's voice litterally falls in and out of character. What a lack of respect.
The Story is the only mediocare, if even considered that. Listen, I am a true blue sonic fan. I even have issue #18 hanging from my wall, only long with the rest of the games, and comics. Sonic The Hedgehog Next Gen, The Secret Rings, Unleashed; they all suffer from the same disease. This disease has been rampant in SEGA for a while now, they have forgotten what makes sonic so amazing. Re-create sonic my ass, they need to take a blast to the past and return to the fast paced, simple, fun. We dont need another sonic movie, even fans like myself had to have been disapointed by the 1999 (US) release.
