Sonic Drone Home

'Sonic Drone Home (2022)' is a short film found on the blu-ray of 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022)'. It's a sequel of sorts, a one-shot adventure that represents the first true team-up between the blue, yellow and red trio since their triumph at the end of the latter's theatrical debut. As part of the clean-up following their fight with Dr. Eggman, Sonic and company come across a lone drone that has gained some form of sentience in the absence of its creator. The piece is a marked visual step down from the feature it's spun off from, looking more like a (big-budget) television episode than a film. That's to be expected, though, and it doesn't ruin the thing's effect. Neither does the fact that at least some of the voice actors obviously elected not to return for this, as their replacements do admirable enough work and convey the characters convincingly despite primarily attempting to impersonate their higher-paid counterparts. The short is simple and to the point, remaining rather enjoyable for its duration. It isn't great, but it's a solid side story that keeps you engaged throughout.

Goes into the (for me) dreaded Robotnik's silly speaking robots territory, but for a short, all right, why not. Keep it out of the big movies though, ple-e-e-ease. Or do it very well. Didn't think i'm gonna like this "they are essentially just kids yet" approach a lot at the beginning, but it's growing on me. It is fully animated although hard to tell sometimes, so they couldn't slip in someone's wedding, even if i know they very much wanted to. A handful of these are great to keep the iron hot till a new movie comes, well done!

This animated short was a good watch after sonic the hedgehog 2 tails is SO CUTE! I like how the animation is it is like a cartoony version of sonic 2.
