Sonic el erizo

This show came out a short time after the other Sonic cartoon. That one was on at the same time as Animaniacs and seeing how I hated it so much, I had no reason at all to watch. Then I hear of this new one, and see that it looks a lot different. After one episode I was hooked. The theme song was great and it was a very cool look at Sonic's world. Man, I wish that the video games were based on the characters on this show. It would've been much more interesting. I liked most of them. Bunnie Rabbot, Princess Sally, Tails, Rotor, Dulcy, Arrie, Uncle Chuck, and (believe it or not) Antoine. I see a lot of people here didn't like him, but heck, he's the comic relief. A lot of shows need comic relief. This was, up to last year, my favorite show based on a video game (Pokemon has now taken its place), but I wish it would've succeeded. I hated the fact that it was off the air right when things were really getting interesting between Sonic and Sally. What cruel fate for such a worthy show.

We have here, a bitter war of words between people who like this show and peolpe who like the other one, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

I have to place myself in this camp. SatAM Sonic is brilliant. Great plots, a working set of characters with fantstic depth (a remarkable effort, given most of them have no SEGA backstory), and pitched at the right level. Not patronising. At just the right distance from the games.

I am told I should "lighten up" about the other show - it is suggested that one is more appropriate for children.

My little brother was under 10 when both these shows came on. We were taping both. Within _one month_, he was fast-forwarding through the "dumb ones" in order to get to SatAM.

But look out for "Sonic X" coming later this year.

I rest my case.

Did I ever love this series or what! The "Star Wars" of TV animation if there ever was one. It grabs you from the startling opening credits (which features a stunning shot across a HUGE power station and another of a Death Star-like spaceship assimilating everything in sight, Borg-style.) and never lets go, except a few lame comic relief episodes. The characters had some of the most depth to ever grace a SatAM cartoon, and the artwork was some of the best I have ever seen. I am awfully shocked that it's not available in the US. Here in Asia it's on the Disney Channel, lucky me. And all of you are wrong, this series came before the comic book and the comic book has adhered little to its solid narrative structure. Unlike other video game adaptations this one did not let the story get overshadowed by the action. All in all a truly fantastic series whose impact on animation fans and anthropomorphic fans will not be forgotten. This one should have as many reruns as Batman.

Yeah, I prefer this version over the other; I watched both at about the same age (of ten or so), loved one, really couldn't stand the other.

The other one just strikes me as kind of pathetic. Only two of the Sonic characters appear in it, for one thing; the plots are often predictable and annoying in their simplicity (the 'parents' episode, for example); there are a lot of little puzzling details that interrupt the action (how is an ice cube a good choice for rafting a lava river?); and Robotnik is a whiny wimp, not a credible evil genius.

The backgrounds and some of the characters are almost Hanna-Barbera-esque in their minimalism and rapid repetition, which some like but I think is out of place for Sonic. This version has more varied characters, really well-drawn environments and animation, and a storyline which is occasionally frightening. Overall, one of these is trying to be a cute comedy, without many story background details; and one is a long science-fiction story divided into parts.

The problem with trying to make something 'cute' is that it often ends up pretty simplistic. Kids' entertainment doesn't need to be mindless, and in my opinion shouldn't be. I think the newer version presents more of a challenge to the young viewer (the plots are trickier, there are more background details between episodes, and, yeah, as I said there are some moments which are kind of scary).
