\"sonic-movie1999\"<\/a>Shut up, Tails! Granted, I have always liked the \u201cSonic\u201d movie from 1999 that finds him battling Metal Sonic, but Tails has to be the most grating animated sidekick of all time. True, he\u2019s still a useful superhero, but in the end I hated this character. \u201cSonic The Hedgehog: The Movie\u201d from 1999, originally made in 1996, is the anime continuation of the original animated series from the mid nineties. I speak of the very good animated adventure, not the crappy Looney Tunes knock off that aired almost at the same time. This time around Sonic is relaxing in his world alongside Tails, and finds out that Robotnik aka Eggman is back.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s kidnapped the president and his daughter, insisting Sonic and Tails must go to Eggmanland to stop his evil clone. Dark Robotnik is a robotic beast with massive wings who thinks like Robotnik, and Sonic has to travel to the city to stop the generator before it explodes. But things get tough as Sonic and Tails realize the city has a ton of hazards, and they\u2019re hopelessly outnumbered. Plus, they don\u2019t know that Robotnik has Hyper Metal Sonic, a robotic version of Sonic, waiting for him ready to be activated. Thankfully though, Sonic and Tails aren\u2019t completely alone, as they gain the help of their rogue friend Knuckles.<\/p>\n

Knuckles, once an anti-hero, is now an adventurous hero who takes it upon himself to make sure Sonic and Tails pull off their mission safely. \u201cSonic\u201d is a short and sweet animated adventure with some darn good animation, and an excellent cyberpunk aesthetic that anime buffs and followers of the cyberpunk sub-genre will appreciate. Though, admittedly, the movie is slim on narrative, the director makes up for it with some killer action, and picturing Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles doing what they do best, and looking darn cool performing their signature moves we\u2019ve seen in the classic games. This is a movie that still holds up; it was a lot of fun back in 1999, and it\u2019s a good time today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
