Review
I've played almost every Sonic the Hedgehog game I can remember. I first encountered the titular character in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: THE MOVIE, the only Sonic cartoon to feature Metal Sonic. The film is edited from two episodes of an anime miniseries and was released on direct-to-video shelves to promote Sonic Adventure. Though the English dub was cheesy, the animation is decent. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: THE MOVIE was faithful to the video game franchise.

It was a good video game movie, but it could have been better if the filmmakers had made it for theatres rather than direct-to-video. Still, it's worth a watch and worth finding.
