Good concept, poorly executed.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

As a child growing up loving sonic, it came as a shock when my mum broke the news to me about there being a sonic cartoon soon to come out, I was totally in shock just to hear what he would sound like, when I finally watched it I was hooked, I ended up getting the first 3 VHS sets that came out and still have them! But having recently found the episodes online I decided to see how it stood the test of time, and I honestly didn't remember it being so hilarious! What a blast, sonic is so mischievous, and grounder and scratch who I saw as 2 annoying pests that ruined the show are really funny, I'm 29 now, so seeing this as my grown up self makes me happy to know as s youngster I watched this stuff, sure the background art is bland, the animation isn't very good, but the show has character, the VA's do a good job, sonics voice is spot on for how id imagine him to sound, and he's cool for a cartoon character, doesn't suck at all. Very nostalgic too.

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

When I was 3 or so than I discovered Sonic the Hedgehog and loved his Series so much that I was wanting to see a TV series about him. When I was 9 than I got Toon Disney and saw that there was Sonic the Hedgehog TV show on there and I wanted to see it so one morning than my Mom woke me up and told me that Sonic was on so I watched it and it was The Space Sonic one and I enjoyed it. The second one I ever saw was "Baby Sitters Jitters" and I thought it was hilarious because of the scene where Robotnik is taking a shower and the part where Robotnik had his drill machine because it looked like a repainted version of the boss in Sonic 2's Emerald Hill Zone. I started watching the show every night for a year than one day than Gargoyles was on instead so I had to watch AoStH late at night instead (witch made me not get to see it very much) than one day than Toon Disney got more new shows, I looked for AoStH and I saw that it was gone. After that than I never got to see it again until I was 12 when I saw a website where you could watch some episodes but than after a year than the site died. That's all.

It wasn't the most intelligent show in the world, but it didn't try to be, or make any pretence about being so. The music was synthesised, the backgrounds were cheap and stylised, and the character models and animation quality were classic Saturday morning fare.The plots weren't exactly taxing and the humour wasn't exactly subtle. In fact, both were downright lowest common denominator at times. My father wouldn't let me watch it if he was in the room, because he disliked the level of loud noises and the complete lack of substance.As a Tails fan, watching Tails be transformed into a portable rent-a-hostage - and a four year old to boot - was rather galling.But at least, in that department, the series got one thing right: he was a tech whizz. You didn't need to be able to read or write to cook up scientific or mechanical marvels at short notice, and he not infrequently did.Don't laugh, but I used to keep a tally, classing each episode according to whether Tails was presented overwhelmingly as the portable victim/gullible idiot, did something outstanding/helpful or didn't sway in either direction.All three lists were fairly expansive, but at least the list of positive episodes didn't consist of only three or four, or have episodes where Sonic's alleged sidekick and best friend was barely more than a background extra or only seen in the opening credits. Which is more than can be said for SatAM.All in all, I'd say that 'AoStH' was probably the series that got closest to the games as we knew them back then: the adventures were picaresque, with the occasional recurring characters but no completely overarching plot; the story lines weren't overly deep; Mobius *ducks hail of missiles from SegaSonic purists* even had the occasional human other than Robotnik, but you weren't beaten over the head with it.People try to knock it down, but it was never trying to be SatAM or 'SX'. It was there for cheap laughs, and it did what it did pretty well.
