(4 out of 5 stars)

"Airing for one season in first-run syndication, "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" was greeted by viewers with mixed reactions. But years of syndicated re-runs (including a brief stint on on the infamous UPN network) has helped the series gain some of the respect it deserves. (It even occasionally appears on some Independent stations to this day). Although produced on a tight budget and rushed into production, "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" is made worthwhile by it's light humor, which is often so "corny" that it's very funny. The animation style, while panned at the time, holds up well and is refreshing in these days of "computer generated" animation.



This DVD may seem a little unnecessary with two larger "volume sets" on sale, it still has it's merits. For those who like the series, but want to "try before buying", this DVD is an economical choice.



The four episodes are entertaining, and the series is most certainly recommend to fans of early 1990's animation, syndicated animation, "strip programming" (a term for shows that air five times a week during their original run), the "Sonic the Hedgehog" video game series, as well as those who just plain like the 1990's. Being a fan of all the above, this has become one of my favourites, and I look forward to buying the "larger volume sets" at a later date."
