If you're looking for an AoStH DVD, the only thing you're going to find on here is "Sonic's Christmas Blast" the last episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (AoStH), which is a mix of the immensely popular series Sonic the Hedgehog (Best known as SAT-AM by the fans) and AoStH. As far as Christmas episodes go, this one is high quality, but I'm a true-blue Sonic fan.

As for the Sonic Underground episodes (Another Sonic universe entirely, about Sonic and his triplet brother and sister, Manic and Sonia), I have to disagree with the other reviewer. "Three Hedgehogs and A Baby" is one of most popular amoung Sonic Underground fans not only because it is a Manic-centered episode, but it is very heartwarming. Manic has to help take care of this drooling, cranky baby and we see his true colors. "Mummy Dearest" is worth it to see King Amonrappi and "The Price of Freedom" is also heartwarming is well. As for the three songs in the episodes, they are not the most popular, but they are still great if you're a Sonic Underground fan.

Let me put it this way, if you're a fan, you've _gotta_ have this video. If you love the other Sonic cartoons, buy this one to help promote your favorite series. If you've never seen Sonic Underground, the best place to start is with their first DVD "Dr. Robotnik's Revenge" which has the first few episodes. If you want to take a leap in and want some quality cartoons, I give you a thumbs up.

I'm a major Sonic fan so I take my blue hedgehog very seriously. But sometimes, like around Christmas, I want to watch a Sonic show that's just plain fun. Sonic's Christmas Blast is that in spades. Whether it's Sonic completing his tests of speed, rescuing Santa or knocking Scratch and Grounder senseless, you get to see Sonic's personality shine through with little or no excess baggage.

The best parts, though, were when Sonic was interacting with Sally or talking about her, not just because I'm a dedicated fan of the show Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAm) and Archie's Sonic comic, but they really were the most well written parts of the story.

The most common complaint about this episode, is that it's more based on the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (AoStH) TV show than the SatAm show which may be a valid complaint. To me there are times when things just get a little bit too silly, like Sonic taking over Santa Claus' duties at the end. I mean, Sonic's in a never ending war against Robotnik. He doesn't have time to be delivering presents to all the kids in the world! Santa Claus' portrayal as a depressed old man didn't exactly thrill me either. But this still robs little from the pleasure of watching Sonic's sole holiday based adventure.

There are three other episodes on this disc, all from the extremely underrated and extremely entertaining Sonic Underground series:
1. Three Hedgehogs and a Baby
2. The Price of Freedom
3. Mummy's Dearest

All three are excellent episodes but Price of Freedom is the best. It has plenty of Sonic'tude and action, everyone is in character and it even has a moral message when Sonia's friend has to choose between her elegant life style and aiding the underground against Robotnik.

All in all, the Sonic's Christmas Blast DVD really is a blast! I'd highly recommend it to everyone except those who have not had a previous positive experience with Sonic.

I don't know about the extra Sonic Underground episodes - as a long-time Sonic fan, I was pretty sickened by that whole series - but the Christmas Blast episode (which has NO correlation w/ Sonic Underground) is very awesome. It's kind of a combination of the past two Sonic animated series that ran in the early '90s... I'd buy this DVD even if this were the only thing on it - it's a classic Christmas special worth watching. :-)

There are a total of 4 episodes on this DVD. The first one is Sonic Christmas blast, it features, Princess Sally, and the two robots from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. This episode isn't too great, but it was neat to see some of the older characters again.
The next three episodes are from Sonic Underground, the first one is three hedgehogs and a baby, the next one is The Price of Freedom, and them Mummy dearest, the first to episodes are good, but the last one is annoying.
So to sum it up this is an okay DVD, perfect for any diehard Sonic fans, or fans of Sonic Underground.

Mine came in the mail with sticky glue all over it, and the disk was shaken out of place in the box and had scratches all over it, but it still played well and was a good movie, it isn't the best sonic movie though.

Ok this was a good dvd espcilly if you like Sonic and christmas but here are some things you should be awere of before buying this dvd. First of all in the first epsoide everybody is shcoked to here that santa is retireing and is being replaced with Robnik clues and insted of pepole geting christmas presents it's the the other way around. When Sonic and Tails here the news they hurry to stop Scatch and Grounder who are takeing pepole stuff and giveing it to Dr.Robonik. Sonic and Tails meet up with a little boy in the streets and he tells them all about what Roboniks done. After Sonic goes and frees santa clues Sonic must pass 2 test to save christmas in time can he do it? The christmas epsoide was the best on the dvd but then heres the problem. The next 3 epsoides on the dvd are Sonic Underground epsoides wich is the worst Sonic T.V. series and the epsoides on this dvd where so stupid they made me laff so hard it made my lungs hurt. The first one is Three Hedgehogs and a baby where Manic and stupid green hedgehog picks up a robot baby that will explode in 24 hours and dystroy mobuis. A stupid story and it was funny when the baby blew up and Manic cried Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Next epsoide The price of freedom when Sonia gets tired of Sonic and Manic and goes of to see here friend Mindy and lurns about the time past about Roboniks history of crimes. A epsoide mostly for girls and is incrdbley wrong espcilly when Mindy and Sonia kiss lip to lip! Theres also a stupid bonus epsoide with no point. So anyway I just watch the christmas epsoide and leave the other epsoides alone. Only buy for the christmas epsoides and avoid the SU epsoides on the DVD.

This is mostly an old episode of sonic the hedghog and then 3 more episodes for sonic underground which are all in the second half

When i first got this dvd i thought that there would be aosth episodes not SU.So I wached the chrismas blast and I loved it.Then the SU episodes came on and I wachted one and immediatley turned it off after it was done.I would have given this a 5-star if it had come with satam or aosth episodes but since it doesnt only chrismas blast is worth wachting.

Oh Yeah! This Is The Best Movie EVER! I am Manic's #1 Fan! My Favorite episode is "Three Hedgehogs And a Baby" You Know Why! Cuz MANIC IS THE STAR!!! (...)

When we opened up the package of Sonic Christmas Blast it was EMPTY!!!!!!! What a rip-off. My kids were SO Disappointed!!!! I will never buy from here again!!!! Something has to be made right here. Imagine opening up a christmas gift only to find nothing inside!!!!
