Ladies and gentle Sonic The Hedgehog is a character that despite being really popular with both video games fans and mainstream audiences he has very rarely gotten adapted by American animation studios. Well I thought i'd look at an actually good Sonic The Hedgehog animated series episode and it helps that this is an episode that've been thinking of taking a look at for sometime and so join me as I review the debuting episode of the animated series that is called simply just "Sonic The Hedgehog" with the episode in question being called simply just "Sonic Boom" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is Sonic , Princess Sally , Cat and Antoine Depardieu infiltrate the base of Dr. Robotnik looking to destroy some of Dr. Robotniks robots but while there Sally finds a message from her supposedly dead father and so the group sets out to see if Sally's father is truly dead or not without realising that Dr. Robotnik is right on their tale / tail. In terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I thought that the plot of this episode was really good with the story itself being both interesting and at the same time kind of heartbreaking and shocking.
Starring in this particular episode is voice acting legend Frank Welker as Cluck and as possibly Swat-Bot , voice acting legend and Disney legend Jim Cummings as Dr. Robotnik and as possibly Swat-Bot and Jaleel White as Sonic The Hedgehog. Also starring in this episode is voice acting great Rob Paulsen as Antoine Depardieu , William Windom as Cat , voice acting great Kath Soucie as Sally and as Nicole and Charlie Adler as Snively.
In terms of what I personally thought of the acting in this episode in all honesty the acting in this episode was alot better then what I thought that it was going to be. Since I honestly thought that the acting in this particular episode was going to be pretty bad / suck but nope I was honestly shocked at how good the voice acting / acting in this episode actually was which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone given who is starring in this particular episode.
Doing the animation for this episode is Sae Rom (Searom Animation) and Milimetros Dibujos Animados (Milimetros S.A.) and don't worry if you haven't heard of Sae Rom because truth be told I haven't heard of any of Sae Rom either and nope Milimetros Dibujos Animados isn't a made up name it's actual real person who worked on this show. As for what I personally thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this particular episode in all honesty I thought that the animation that was featured / presented to us in this particular episode was so freaking good you can / could really tell that whoever was doing the animation on / for this episode was having a really good because every aspect of the animation in this episode is in my opinion at least well and truly fantastic to look at.
While Adventures Of Sonic dealt more with child friendly stories and had child friendly this show took the opposite approach and I honestly that telling dark stories with complex and well written characters honestly works well for this show and for this episode. Simply because it shows that the makers of both this particular episode of this show care about the characters and that the makers of this show and this episode know what makes the game characters and as well as how to make the characters that are created for this particular show somewhat interesting.
Character wise I really did like all of the hero characters in this episode and I thought that all of the hero characters were well written. The same thing can also be said for the villain characters in this episode since the villains in this episode (Dr. Robotnik and Snively) were really well written even both of the villain characters in this particular episode don't get alot of screen time which honestly does hurt the villain since it now makes it look like that both of the villain characters are angry for no apparent reason whatsoever and while that is a very major issue it didn't stop me from enjoying this episode and from enjoying both the hero and the villain characters that appear in this particular episode.
I will admit that out of the hero characters I did think that the character of Sally could have been written a bit better. Since in this episode she comes across as both incredibly smart and incredibly naïve at the same time since she knows how to basically hack into robots but yet at the same time she doesn't pick up on the fact that she's being followed which wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for the fact that she's high up in a freedom fighter group called "The Knothole Freedom Fighters" and as such a little bit of consistency with her character would have been very much appreciated.
Now then boys and girls this particular episode has a grand total running time of twenty two minuets and thirty eight seconds. Which I honestly felt was a bit short for this episode and for this story since you very easily could have made this episode a multipart episode which honestly would have helped the story and it would have helped introduce us to all of this particular shows main cast of hero characters but as it is th story comes across as being rushed because the show has to meet these plot points in order to reach that twenty two minuet running time.
Now then boys and girls this is an action show after all and that means that I have to talk about the action that's in the actual episode itself and if i'm being honest I personally felt that the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode wasn't that good. Simply because there wasn't that much action in this episode and the action that we did get in this episode simply just wasn't inspiring , cool or even creative but that's just what I personally think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.
Overall this honestly a really good episode to what I believe is a really good show and i'm so glad that I got to finally check this episode of my never ending but still somehow ever growing list of things to review. Now then boys girls i've just talked about all of the good things and all of the bad things that I personally found in this particular episode in this very review and so that means that this episode gets a solid 7.5 out of 10 from me.
As for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page and since I only went to the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page for the images that I used in this very review. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page if you guys want to use any images that that's to do with the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.
