5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Newbies of the AoStH World, November 18, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sonic:Slowwww Going [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Before I begin, I shall say a few words about AoStH in general for those who aren't familiar with this show. This cartoon is one of three animated Sonic shows by DIC Entertainment. Altogether, there are currently five Sonic cartoons (This show, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Underground, Sonic OVA and Sonic X.) This show is the silliest of all five. AoStH features new characters such as Scratch and Grounder, but doesn't contradict the games like the other Sonic cartoons.

This VHS contains some of the funniest and cutest episodes of the show ever made. I especially enjoyed "Slowwwwww Going" and "Tails' New Home," but I also loved the two other episodes included. "The Robotnik Express" was action-packed, and the all-new characters Da Bears, who were featured in the episode, were hilarious. "Over-The-Hill Hero" introduced Captain Rescue, a retired superhero who seemed like a combination of Mermaid Man from SpongeBob SquarePants and Cranky Kong from the Donkey Kong Country games.

One last note about AoStH for newbies, I have noticed that many fans of the Super Mario Bros. cartoons enjoyed this series. But do not expect this show to be anything like the Mario cartoons. They are very different, yet attract the same fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars From an AoStH prespective, September 21, 2003

This review is from: Sonic:Slowwww Going [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This particular video has a mix of good and bad. The episode "Over the Hill Hero" is well-written and contains some wonderful dramatic moments. Sonic meets Captain Rescue - an overweight, retired super hero - who gets in his way while trying to help, so Sonic is horribly mean to him. In the end though, it's Captain Rescue who comes to save Sonic from Robotnik! It also has some hilarious moments and is worth watching again and again.

"Slowwww Going" however was not so well-liked. As it's name implies the action is really slow and so are some of the characters dialogue. As a young child I was irratated by the Sloth family's really.... slow... lines... that seemed to drag out the minutes. Sonic and Tails meet the Sloth Family who they protect from Robotnik. But Robotnik has made a weapon that will slow Sonic down so the SSSSS Squad (Scratch and Grounder) can capture him. Unfortunately, they succeed and capture him, so it's up to Tails and the slowwww sloths to save him. The action picks up from there and the rest is really fast-paced.

As an adult watching this again, the sloths are hilarious and I still love all the jokes. This is also the episode where Tails reveals in a cute joke that he's only four and a half years old.

I would buy the video just for the Over-the-Hill Hero episode, but it is a must for AoStH fans.

One more note: Yes, the animation is NOT like Sat-Am, but you have to keep in mind that Sat-AM is a drama and this is a comedy, so of course the styles of animation will be different.
