Le avventure di Sonic

Sonic the Hedgehog was one of the best TV shows of the 90's. It is quintissential 90's TV and is a fine example of what cartoons used to be like. The villains were great as was Sonic the 90's version of Bugs Bunny. This show is aimed at a particular audience of kids who grew up watching cartoons all the time and for that generation Sonic was ideal animation. There was also a tone of sadness underneath the shows exterior that one would have to find out by watching the series. Even so the show is full of hum our and is perfect for kids. Or at least it was. Weather or not today's kids will like the series is another matter but for this person who grew up watching this series Sonic is a awesome 90's show that deserves the same attention as the much loved games

This show kicked ass! It first came on when I was in the third grade. I would watch it before I went to school in the mornings. I really liked the characters, also the episodes were always good and never got old. I wish they could air again on tv or come out on DVD!

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is not as good as the brilliant Sonic the Hedgehog SATM series, but it is better than Sonic Underground(don't hate it but it does have a lot of glaring problems) and Sonic X which is not that good at all and suffers from too much Chris and not enough Sonic.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog does have its flaws. I admit I am not a huge fan of the animation. The character designs and colours are not so bad, it's more the background art which have a tendency to be cheap and lacking in finesse. I like the opening sequence and theme tune, but some of the accompanying is annoyingly synthesised, I don't always have a problem with synthesised music but sometimes it can feel tacky, which was my problem here. Also Dr RobotNik is a decent enough villain here, but he is a pale shadow really of the true bad-ass that is the RobotNik of the SATM series. I like the I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG exclamations though.

Faults aside, in a way I do consider this series a sort of guilty pleasure. The story lines are not really original and lacking in substance, but they are adventurous, well-paced and entertaining. The writing is also not so bad, it is often very amusing and makes me forget it is not that sophisticated, likewise with some of the slapstick. Sonic is a zany and endearing protagonist too with his encounters with RobotNik one of the better parts of the episodes and Tails is a hoot, while the voice acting is strong particularly from a spirited Jaleel White.

All in all, a guilty pleasure. 7/10 Bethany Cox

"The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" has to be the funniest show around!!!! I mean, it's like, comedy all the way, baby!!!!! It's funnier than the ABC version, AND there are VERY funny catch phrases in them, like "I'm waaaaaiting!!!!", for example. Of course the animation was cheesy to some people.... but it's funny to watch!!!!! I like this show, because it's got SO many catch phrases, and every single episode makes me wanna laugh REALLY hard!!!!!! Besides, how many comedy lovers out there couldn't love this show???? It's like, REALLY FUNNY!!!!!! Here is a note to ALL you parents out there!!!! If you are looking for a comedy show for your kids to watch, I wouldn't recommend the ABC version, I would recommend THIS version. Your kids would love it. If they like the ABC version than this version or "Sonic Underground", that's fine with me!!!!! I'm just saying that your kids would love it, because of the episodes being funny AND those hilarious catch phrases!!!!!!! I would give this show an 98% (which is still a grade A), because half of it's got cheesy animation, but it's the funniest show around!!!!!

This is definitely a great cartoon, or at least from what I remember. This series, which I remember watching once on video tape and getting it, is the only one I really saw (aside from Sonic X, which is unfortunately anime) and why I'm talking here (this might also be how I first learned of Sonic the Hedgehog). It's pretty odd that people said that this cartoon was horrible, since only 4 or 5 of the total comments talked of dislikes to this. The animation, which I saw a little, really isn't that bad. Okay so it's not really up to par like most other American cartoons, but it's still really not "cheesy," as most people like to say (I wonder what that means as an adjective). Another thing is that some say that it seems to be a Looney Toons spoof, but to me, it looks more like a mixture of Garfield/Pink Panther/Care Bears/Spy vs. Spy (by Antonio Prohias) theme.

While not as serious as the Saturday version (Sonic the Hedgehog "SATAM") or even the one from France/America (Sonic Underground), it still seems to be even better than something violent, vulgar, and tasteless nowadays (and they say anime has better animation). This appears to be a comic series with a whole bunch of laughs like in Garfield and Pink Panther episodes. There's even safety segments called "Sonic Says," similar to the "Garfield Quickies" with some excellent advice on how to be safe and good.

While I've really only seen this series, I'd recommend any Sonic animation title you can find (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, or AoStH; SATAM Sonic, and Sonic Underground.) But I'm doubtful with Sonic "OVA/movie" as well as Sonic X, since their animes, which are cartoons to watch out for, mind you. But if you can find this series especially go ahead and get it. Even if the story lines and animation aren't up to par, it still has side-splitting humor that's just as good as the said cartoons above!
