“You’re the face of the company!”
“And the company is my face!”
That got me laughing more than I should have been.
"Pika Boom Asshole!" that was one of the funniest lines in this video!
Along with:
"Hi Everybody!"
"Hi Robotnic!"
EVIL MUST LOOK BEAUTIFUL

@@nine_tails137 yeah "pika-boom assholes" was the best
A thumbs down in Japan actually means "go to hell"
I used to teach English there, and our company taught us right away not to do that at school. :)
Oh, wait, do Japanese people use facebook actively? If so I suddenly understand why the "thumbs down" button isn't a thing on facebook.
I think it can mean "go to hell" in English speaking countries too. In the Roman gladiator fights it also meant "finish him". And when it comes to making reviews of movies or games or online comments, it the thing in question is bad or lousy or "sucks" (to use a slang term). It's the last of these meanings that is the most common.
Weird. I usually thought that means Death.
An example of why the classic sonic era will always be better than the modern era.
In my opinion
@@Dragzilla66 boi
The robot holding the sign that said “Goodbye Sara!” on it made me laugh. I don’t know why it was so funny but it was.
Doug's reaction made me laugh harder.
Amy made that sing
That one image describes this movie perfectly. A fat Tzar Nicholas the Second is screaming at something while some robot holds up a looney tunes style sign saying goodbye to a person you wouldn’t know.
Does it make sense? Hell no. Is it reasonable on any level? Absolutely not. Is it absolutely comical and beautiful when you shut your brain off? You’re god damn right it is.
This movie is a beautiful trip of an experience if you can play along with the madness. When I think sonic, this is what I think of.
You didn't even touch on the legendary "You may know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you, since I know everything You're going to do. Strange, isn't it"? Shame on you!
hahaha
He also never talked about Sonic's middle finger.
He also didn't show Metal's Heel-Face Turn.
And "shut up tails"
SHUT UP, TAILS!
These are the Nostalgia Critic reviews that I love, man. No complicated scripts. No unnecessary side-stories. Just Doug reviewing the movie with his own humor and cutaways.
Agreed
Some of the unnecessary side storys are pretty good the matrix one was the best by far
Oh yeah, there are good side-stories, but the amount of them he does gets annoying sometimes.
Same here. This is classic nostalgia critic
You were the chosen one Sonic! You were supposed to destroy Nintendo, not join them!
Can't really say anything to this...I grew up in the middle of the console wars (...that sounds like the start of a character movie backstory..) and remember the magazine ads and playing both Sega and Nintendo games...but eventually Mario and his crew in Nintendo became to strong and internal struggle caused Sonic and his army to fall apart...in the end Mario decided it was best to keep his friends close and his enemies closer still and extended the hand of friendship to Sonic and the Sega crew..the first console wars between the two former giants ended, now they fight in a new console war against the likes of Master Chief and whoever manages to screw up enough courage to be the front line for Sony at a given moment.
How the hell has no one thought of this comment?
ShinKyuubi *sheds a tear* war... War never changes
Blame the suicidally idiotic executives at Sega...
If the 32X didn't exist and the Saturn was handled better outside of Japan (among other mistakes they could have avoided with better management), Sega would more than likely still be making consoles today...
BRING BALANCE TO THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY NOT LEAVE IT IN DARKNESS
I love how respectful of the Sonic fandom you were by saying “I don’t understand it, but just because I don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s bad.”
Just
Mad respect bro
No
What I found interesting it is how pointed out there's little/sutble info in movies like this but apparently the intro to every Superman movie and the cartoon series is repetative and tired. I mean the complaint makes sense but pointless at the same time

Yessir. We've got ourselves a fine Sonic RUclips video review

There are modern sonic games that people enjoy??

20 Years Later in 2019 A Live Action/CGI Sonic Movie exists
OAo wha
Wait, that was REAL!
JOSEPH EXTREME GAMER I'd rather just watch this again!
starring jim carrey and some lame drill Sargent
Oh God I was hoping that was a joke...
Holy shit, you missed some GOLDEN moments from this! You skipped arguably the MOST popular scene from this whole movie. STRANGE, ISNT IT?! Also, a few tidbits about the movie:
1) Apparently the actress who played Tails in the movie actually DID have a cold when recording this. They went with it because I guess the director hates kids (going the "snot nosed brat" route)
2) Sonic suddenly wanting to save Metal? Simple: Sonic's personality was coming out of Metal again after Tails hacked his system. That was something else explained, the fact that Metal was made by Sonic's life data essentially made them like brothers. That was a bond that came out there. Sonic, after seeing Metal save the president and the owl (yeah. I didnt get them either as a kid. They dont exist) suddenly realizes Metal is about to die and Sonic is about to lose his brother.
Also you skipped over Metal Robotnik being a fake and it was Robotnik controlling him, and Sara was there for the ride. That was the pod they were in.
You forgot Sara breastfeeding an Egg-baby.
You also can’t forget to mention Sonic straight up flipping off Metal Robotnik at one point during their fight
I don't think that he saw metal sonic as a brother, more he just saw the posibility that he can become something than an evil killer robot. In sonic comic released these past few years there was an arc where eggman hit his head and became a friendly mechanic in some random vilage. Sonic decided to leave eggman alone hoping that he can be redeemed this way. Sonic is a guy who believes in redemption even for his arch enemy.
Well I’ll give the movie this much, at least they don’t have Jaleel White speaking Japanese
OfficialJKGreen Jaleel White voicing Seira.

and the classic: ``all sonic fans are weirdos on devian art``, being a sonic fan is sad.....
STUDY TIME!
In Japan a thumbs down is actually a lot stronger than in the west. It's not quite "fuck you", but its meaning is similar to how Roman emperors are thought to have used it when condemning a defeated gladiator to death. You won't see people doing so often for that reason.
Kuma Toni Roman Emperors most likely gave a thumbs up to approve execution. If the loser was to survive they'd either put their thumb down to indicate lowering your weapon or sheath their thumb with their other hand.
The idea that gladiator fights ended in death is an outdated and dogmatic belief started in the Renaissance Era because people then wanted to feel superior to their pagan ancestors, thus they made them appear to be savage barbarians with a taste for blood. Most gladiator fights ended at a surrender or first blood
Oh, I did not know this. xD That explains why other characters get SO pissed off when the gesture is made. Thanks lol

The Sonic/Megaman comparisons clearly aren't something you'd have to ponder considering they've had at least two multi-part comic crossovers.
Yeah, too bad both of them are very much impossible to find. Apparently Archie comics wants us to forget about them ever existing. >:-(
kain5056 You could grab it on Comixology digitally.
I have the first crossover on paper and the second one digitally.
MegaMan is pretty much OP in the first one though.
MegaManNeo First place I looked. Maybe it's because I'm in Europe, but unfortunately it's not available on ComiXology, Google books or Kindle. :-(
not to mention the webcomic that rpedates the archie comic crossover
readcomicsonline has them
2:07 I wonder who he’s played by 🤔
Nowadays Sonic is Played by Roger Craig Smith.
SonicFan91 r/woosh
SonicFan91 Druid T Did you hear that? It’s the sound of a joke going over someone’s head.😂😂😂
A guy who has seen many horrible things
4Kids Sonic was played by JASON GRIFFITH!!!!
Compared to the movie Paramount is making, this is far better
It's sad that that statement is a 100% accurate 😂!
True, and now I want to see a Sonic.exe movie.
Movie hasn't came out yet, and they are already changing sonics design.
@@tultsi93 Hope it happens. I mean, there is brightburn..
Crescendo I feel more bad for Jim Carrey, his back is gonna be SOOO sore from carrying that movie.
8:51:To quote Astroboy:"I have machine guns in my butt?"
Nice to see someone remembers that movie
Honestly, you kinda missed out on a good part of the movie.
The main focus was the duality between Sonic and Metal Sonic; Tails mentions it in one of the cutscenes. Because Metal has Sonic's data copied; he automatically knows everything Sonic does, and can use it against him as they fight. Given the fact that Metal is also a robot; he doesn't get tired like Sonic can taking a beating. Some great jokes are played with, such as the upskirt shot (Sonic begins blushing, and acting embarrassed because he is seeing what Metal sees) However, partway through the battle; Tails manages to overload Metal using the reprogrammed navigator to assimilate Sonic's data. This triggers a sense of good in Metal; which is shown when he is the one who rescues the President and Old Man. He intends to keep fighting Sonic, who recognizes from his action that Metal can be saved; but gets hit with the rock and falls into the magma; but it's at that point, he becomes self aware of what he is, and decides to let himself get destroyed. In his words; "There is only one Sonic."
That kinda makes the movie a little meta when you look at it. The rest of the plot is kinda meh; it's basically the Storyline of Sonic CD, only with a new universe and some characters made up on the spot. But it's still a pretty solid movie in my opinion. Not perfect, but one of the better Video Game Movies.
Did they think that Sara being a catgirl would be animal enough to not feel like bestiality?
It brings up the question about why she's part animal.
george crookes that makes sense. Her bow was giving her a car like ear like profile. Still same issues apply.
Good enough for me.
Yes. Just yes.
Apparently, the rumor is that the artists who created this OVA either drew some inspiration from the whole Saiyan look from DragonBall, or that they took a note from Felicia's catty look in Darkstalkers when they designed Sara...
...but again, these are just rumors.
I guess you could say
They pulled a fast one with this movie
Ayyyye, that's clever👏

Rutger van den Heuvel This might be my spin on it, based on Ben 10, but I gotta bring up something like that famously goofy line. Here you go, "You might know everything my aliens are gonna do, but that's not gonna help you, Albedo. Why? Because I know what YOUR aliens are gonna do! Strange, isn't it?!"
strange isn't it?
Exactly!!!
Rutger van den Heuvel :p
Watched this movie so much as a kid. Loved the white VHS tape.
Micah Buzan - My thoughts exactly. It’s a terrible movie, but also a great movie in its own way.
Yours was white? Mine was yellow
Damn, mine was basic black. How'd you get a colored one?
Huh, mine is white.
This reminded me that i had a freaking *red* vhs tape when i was a kid. I cant even remember what was on it. Just the fact that it was red was amazing enough (i think it may have been Thomas the Tank Engine, and i seem to recall it was only 25 minutes long).
Technically, Tails is a fox.
Neo-Xgray87
Fox is a canine
Dog is a canine
A stretch for a joke, but still, he’s not wrong with Megaman and Sonic being shit franchise past their prime.
Technically?
PissedOffDragon Aren't foxes vulpines?
And eight year old. (In modern sonic at least.)
sonic mania
This was the first time a lot of us saw Knuckles (an INCREDIBLY popular Sonic character) animated and voiced, so we loved the hell out of this OVA. A lot of us didn't have cable, so we didn't catch him in Sonic Underground and wouldn't get access to him in Sonic X until 2003, so we hold a soft spot for it in our hearts.
That said, the story was clunky as all hell.
Nostalgia Critic: ok one of us is a idiot
Me: we’re both idiots
Jub Jub Exactly!
Sonic was originally going to have a human girlfriend in the 1991 game named Madonna. I guess Sara & Elise are references to that early development idea
Sjono it’s still disturbing
SkySlasher yet Roger Rabbit being with Jessica in Who framed Roger Rabbit is okay.
Nothing to do with the pop star from the 80s who's known as the original Lady Gaga, but I've heard from Toon Heads even Mickey Mouse had a human girlfriend! It seems like almost everything became like Ralph Bashki with the furry fetish although Sara has a tail like she's part of a furry herself?
And then someone pointed out that was a bad idea.
What I hear originally Maddona and Sonics band (yea they had plans for him to have his own band) would just be if you open the sound test.
But the problem was that they could not fit both the sound test animation and the intro audio file at the same time, so they scrapted the sound test from Sonic 1
The only thing I'll remember this movie for:"You might know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you, since I know everything you're going to do! Strange, isn't it?"
FredBloxworth o
Sadly he never mentioned that meme at all
8:20 "We're not in 'MORTAL KOMBAT', and you aren't Scorpion! You'll NEVER be Scorpion!"

Didn't sonic flip a bird in this movie?
HELL SPOON
That he did. Lol.
If you catch the English sub of Sonic X he outright says "Shit" in the second episode.
HELL SPOON yes
15:14 we have thumb down. Maybe that's more intimidating than flipping a bird?
David Johnson Not the dub, the sub.
Eggman was based on a teddy Roosevelt caricature. A little different than the German dr wily....
Dr Wily, in turn, was actually based on Albert Einstein. His canon full name is even Albert Wily. Dr Thomas Light was based on Thomas Edison. In retrospect, kind of ironic how they made the latter the good guy, but I could easily see Professor "I helped make the nuclear bomb" be the bad guy in Japan...
Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite President :o
@@kain5056 Are you for real? *JAPAN HAD THEIR OWN NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM,* and are very actively trying to hide that fact. Go google "Nigo Project" and judging by how they were the FIRST to bomb civilians in China (city of Chongqing) as early as 1938 (They were going to do it in 1937 but delayed it only due to winter weather conditions), they would have nuked America too if only they were competent enough to finish it first. (Also tried to firebomb America with fire-balloons, but were too incompetent to kill anyone except for some random family having a picnic). *And 1/3 of the ppl dead in Hiroshima were foreign slaves forced to work in weapons factories for Japan.* But they conveniently love leaving that bit out of their victimhood. Not to mention *unlike bombing Chongqing, the Americans gave them many days of warning in advance, airdropping pamphlets that said that on a specific day, they must stay out of specifically listed cities or they will all be killed by the greatest bomb known to man.* But the Japanese leaders told the people these are all trickery and everyone should get back to making weapons, even when the engineers were long since sent to die in the frontlines in place of farmers in place of soldiers, and the factories by then were serviced by little girls.
Einstein never so much as participated in the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer was the real brains behind that project. He was however, angry that America did not go all the way in making sure the Fascist leaders of Japan were not uprooted (only a few were tried and executed) and all the nukes ended up doing were kill civilians but not really punish the real war criminal leaders. Because they were allowed to go scott free in turn for quickly making Japan one of many American Allies, a bastion to blockade communist China and USSR.
Also, they love to play up the nuclear victim while they keep not mentioning the Pearl Harbor (invasion with no declaration, just like when they fought Russia, also just like when they invaded China), the Niihau Incident (the REAL reason why Japanese Americans were put under watch, when after Pearl Harbor it was found that unlike Italian or German Americans, they actually have been sending money to the Imperial Japanese military to buy ships and planes or enlist in the Japanese forces all along, and some Japanese after Pearl Harbor started an insurrection and kidnapped Hawaiian civilians as hostage with shotguns to safely get a crash-landed Japanese scout pilot safely back to Japan. Still let them volunteer for the military services for America whereas in Japan, the conquered minorities were never allowed to enlist in the military in fear of armed uprising... which did happen some times. Tho they were conscripted for noncombat menial labor near the front lines and sexual slavery in state-controlled brothels near the front lines ofc.)
Unlike Germany where Prime Minister Willy Brandt knelt before Holocaust victim memorial in Warsaw for the world to see as early as in 1970, Japan is still unapologetic about all that stuff and got off scott free just because America quickly needed a seafaring ally nation to blockade Communists USSR and China. So unlike Germany where they keep drilling into their kids all through school about the heinous acts of the 3rd Reich to the point of ridiculousness (srsly, I think it backfires and makes some of the German kids tired of it all), the Japanese only talk about how boohoo America attacked them (they say "attack," not even "retaliate") and conveniently leave out from their curriculum all their invasions, rapes (not random unruly soldier rape that happens when officers aren't around, state-SANCTIONED and COMMANDED rape), slavery and sexual slavery from Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines (for no reason they killed about 50 ppl in the Spanish in the Spanish embassy in Manila too), Indonesia, Russia, China, Manchuria, Taiwan, and Korea. Also they assassinated TWO mayors from Nagasaki who complained all the two-faced Japanese politicians try to arm Japan with nukes yet keep using them and Hiroshima to play the victim when realy, "the emperor is really to blame for starting pointless wars and getting our city nuked." The assassinations happened in 1990 and 2007. Quite recent.
Let that sink in. In a country with very strict gun control, two elected city officials (mayors), got assassinated, in broad daylight, for criticizing the imperial family for nukes. Twice. That's not a coincidence.
Nearing the end of the war, the war criminals ruling Japan were so afraid of being executed they brainwashed everyone that all the raping and killing they did for years was the natural right of victors, which meant if anyone ever defeated Japan, the same thing will be done unto them, so surrendering is not an option. *Therefore everyone must die trying to protect the leaders.* Everyone was relieved that was not the case with America when Japan finally surrendered (seriously, they were told they all must die for the living god, the emperor, and they gave students cyanide bottles or hand-crafted clay pottery with gunpowder and called them "Type 4 Pottery Grenade" and told them they should die for the emperor while they charged at enemy tanks with these, or made them wear diving suits with explosive spears and called them Fukuryuu ("hidden dragon") to destroy ships because they no longer had anymore submarines, or built anti-air CATAPULTS against bombers because they had no more resources to build AA guns). *The leadership was very deluded up until the last minute, and so nukes finally gave them a reality check: the leaders were forced to see they had no chance of winning stopped trying to use their people as meatshields and so they finally surrendered.*
The Japanese were relieved and angry at the emperor that they actually tried to hurl stuff at him a few times in public appearances. Especially in Okinawa, which was conquered and annexed a few decades ago (Japan's version of Hawaii) and heavily discriminated and conscripted into various duties (labor and rape) for Japan. Old people there have a deep seated hatred for the main islanders. And joyous when the emperor was forced to go on radio broadcast and tell everyone that "contrary to what you've been taught, I am not a living god on earth as u were told to worship me in State Shinto shrines and bow to the direction of the palace every day. I am but an ordinary human." A great number of the Japanese sent congratulatory letters to General MacArthur as the new shogun of Japan.
But the generations that come after that aren't taught about how it was really like in 1945 and were taught by politicians the rhetoric that they've done nothing wrong and it's all the West's fault for everything.
Also you would not believe the gall they have when every year around August all they ever talk about on television is German war crimes and talk nothing about themselves when they were its biggest ally and doing the same human experimentation, invasions, rapes, etc.
@CrapTastingMan first off, TLDR, and second, no one asked you too copy an essay about Japan and atomic bombs. Putting this on r/iamverysmart
Say what you will about this movie Critic, but you will never change how much I love this weird, weird piece of Sonic memorabilia.
let's face it this thing would've done it anyway
12:06 - When Carrey was cast.
I remember this as a kid...honestly as weird as it is...it had WAY more effort in it then most cartoon adaptations...but god damn was this movie weird.
It was weird, flat and for the most part out of context ... Yet weirdly enough it has quite a certain charm.
The story is not very good, but everything else is fantastic. Good characterization (best cartoon version of Sonic in my opinion - cocky teen who's a bit of a dick but gets the job done in the end), stylish art and animation, fun fitting music, fun comedy. I even like the dub voice acting, and prefer it over the Japanese track which I went out of my way to find - I'd rather have voice acting that's a bit annoying but full of character than archetypal anime voice acting where everyone has the exact cliche voice you'd expect them to have.
I like to think of it as an adaptation of Sonic CD. I do think it’s the best Sonic adaptation next to SatAm and a thousand times better than Sonic X.
while it also adds new characters and makes up a bunch of shit, it adapts the tone, stylized surreal design sense and action of the Megadrive/Genesis games far better than any of the American shows. it helps that it draws a lot from the Sonic CD FMVs which, on their own, are the best animated Sonic ever.
"Anime, not cartoon. Two different things" are there still kids on the internet who say this? good lord
We must never speak about the Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) game and the Sonic boom game!
Japen: The land of porn, monsters and...more porn.
傭兵Cloud that game is way better than Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Boom
OH NO
Amen
傭兵Cloud Eh... I Found Rise Of Lyric Worse... MUCH Worse!

Wait. Did you skipped the weird scene of *Eggman* and *Sara's* kids?
Or it is just censored /removed in the american version?
BETMARKonTube no, its there. Don't know why he skipped over it.
He does skip stuff but this would have been very fitting material for the review considering the other jokes.
there's a part in this video where the robot sounds like it says "my unborn child! the robotany!" that sounds pretty wtf too.
Please, don't remind me XDD
Thanks to Critic I forgot about it XDD
IIRC, Sara is breastfeeding in that scene, so maybe partial nudity.
2:54 Archie Comics’ Sonic/Mega Man Worlds Collide, anyone?
True. XD
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the hedgehog not join him! Bring balance to the franchise, not leave it in darkness !
I swear, the Critic's Robotnik voice sounds more like Doofenshmirtz from Phineas & Ferb than it does Robotnik.
I think we have Sonic Mania remembering Sonic Heroes and Adventures. Let's take a nostalgic Spinball at classic Sonic the Hedgehog.
I'll quit with the Chaotix puns before someone hits me with their Knuckles, and I see Colors before going Boom.
I'll see myself out.

DaBlazingFox
3 minutes trying to remember what me and my buddy riffed a week or so ago.
Bryce Mckenzie I take it you got a Rise out of this pun-stream. Were you trying to Force those puns?
.....oh no
It’s too late, you’ve already cast your Shadow, and Unleashed Chaos and Pure Zavok among this section. That’s No Good.
Sonic unleashed (the game where he turns into a werewolf) is criminally underrated.
Great music, great story, great levels and even the werewolf stages have satisfying combat.
I greatly recommend it.
Yeah, I don't get it why everyone hate it. It's basically if Sonic team production take some inspiration from God of War, and its cool! 😆
10:20 Of course he does. More evil genius' should incorporate their evil mugs into their creations!
Keegan Stormblade remember Dr. Nefarious? His giant base? The one he wanted to make it like his face to beat the record of largest base that looks like the owner's face?
Yes I do. I was fantastic.
Bowser does it alot
How did NC miss the whole entire part of metal gaining empathy
Blue Venom Hell if I know, the whole point is that Metal, while being the cold calculating machine that he is, was still ultimately based upon Sonic and understands him better than anybody else. There have been numerous hints of Metal softening up to his nemesis in regards of them being so similar, and the ending is touching precisely because it was like looking at your own self out-selfing you for your own greater good.
Bouncing off of what zummone said instead of grabbing Sonic's hand to drag him into the lava he swiped at him as if to stay back and said "There can be only one Sonic" just like when Sonic translated before the fight even started. Heck the fact that Metal didn't off the owl says something.
the plot
@@ThePuzzledboy The characters? The childish tone? The fact that it’s rated PG?
As a Sonic fan, I can say this is one of the best representations of the character in media: if you played the Sonic games since the 90's, then you can understand some of its characters (I know Sarah, the Owl and the President don't exist in the games, but think of it as an alternate universe - like the Ninja Turtles).
Although, I dare to say the worst thing here is the voice acting; the animation is good, the music is OK, the lore/world building is great (I always hear Robotnik's tale and Knuckles' explanation of the world and the magma current), the environments are interesting and Metal Sonic is as menacing as ever.
Sonic's fans should check this out.
Ummm...no. I say Sonic Mania Adventures would have that crown. I've played the Sonic games in the 90s and this is not a good representation of the games.
Thankfully for you, a bunch of fans re-dubbed the movie so now it's bearable to watch ruclips.net/video/MhudAZhdvOg/видео.html
Well Sonic talks and there are OC that don't appear in the games. Robotnik in that is more like Darth Vader opposed to an egg shaped Wiley Clone. Plus there are no formal kingdoms or royalty present in the 90's games. So no, I don't think Sonic SatAM is a good representation of the games. It's a nice off shoot and a decent interpretation of the series as a whole, but it's no where close to the games.
I totally forgot about that one (and I believe it is an incredible representation of the franchise, giving us one of the best Robotnik ever), but the Nostalgia Critic had already gave a review about it and it liked it, unlike AoStH.
So things are that bad then...
Sonic movie 2020: I'm the best movie in the history ever!
Sonic the Hedgehog OVA: Am I joke to yourself?
Sonic X: No. I'm the best Sega badass anime now!
Me to Sonic X: Badass?.. yeah right. I bet you can't even say "ass", since you are 4kids material.
Sonic x sucks!
@@garrtoons4303
4kids didn’t create Sonic X all they did was put it on their channel make a bunch of changes to it some of which made sense some of which didn’t
“Shit, lets go” became “cream, hang on”
“I guess you’re into S&M huh?” Became “you know you’re pretty tough for an old lady”
Gunfire became laser fire
Pancakes became ham sandwiches
A wine bottle was replaced with salami
“I love you” turned into something along the lines of “please be gentle”
“Are you energetic at night?” Became “imagine us together 24/7 wonder what that would be like?”
“What the hell is going on” turned into “what is this Halloween?”
“Little bastard” was changed to “why you little”
“You could’ve started a war” changed to “you could’ve gotten us all arrested”
“Better to die than to not be able to do my job” became “nothings gonna stop me from doing my job”
“Damn it all” became “help me mommy”
“He’s a dead pigeon” turned into “we’ll meet him on the other side”
“I thought I was gonna die” was changed into “got any more bright ideas”
“You shouldn’t die that easily” changed to “don’t give up”
They removed everyone crying at the end of the show
“Strait to hell kick” became “I know karate”
Chris getting stabbed was simplified to Chris getting punched
“Oh shit” became “oh no”
“I’ll offer you as a sacrifice” became “you’ll never leave”
“I’m feeling great after some booze” turned into “we’re gonna have a lot more fun”
They completely cut out a scene with one of the main characters praying
“I’m prepared to cut open my belly as atonement” became “I have failed my duties, I don’t deserve this uniform”
“Good, drown him” turned into “he’s totally washed up”
A budget increase was changed to an executive order
Maybe I included too many examples but I’m sure you get the point
4kids is not an accurate representation of what the show is supposed to be and judging it base on 4kids is kinda dumb

Critic, how, HOW could you not mention the "Strange isn't it!?" clip?!
He probably didn't know anything about this until he saw it for the review, so he wasn't aware of the meme, sadly
Lucas Couto Also, if he did know about it, what could he say about it that hasn’t already been said?
Still, I wanted to see his reaction to such a line. It's great. XD
Strange, isn't it?
I don't know why, but I like it better when it's just Doug on an episode
Can anyone explain to me, why?
Chris Kencaid cause Doug is at his best when he can just quickly riff on something. That way he gets More jokes in and if one doesn't hit he moves on. His skits, if not funny, can drag on though and you have to wait for the next joke
Because you're nostalgic for when Doug had no budget
Because he is better all by himself! I hate Tamara, Malcom, ect.!!! Except for Cinema Snob, he can keep him.
I’m not with you on this. Overall, I like his videos with Malcolm, Tamara, and Robberter
Chris Kencaid
There's a full variety of opinions in this chain. XD
I personally enjoyed this movie myself. I don't think it's really that terrible. A fun little flick.
I'm glad you did
It looks terrible to me
I loved it when I was a kid, and I still do. It's the only Sonic cartoon that feels like it takes place in Sonic's world, before the games started putting Sonic in realistic settings anyway. Granted, the voices are a little annoying, but they were par for the course for anime dubs back then. I probably would have found the voices more jarring if I hadn't seen the movie before the games gave Sonic an official voice. I wish the OVA were more successful in Japan so we could have seen what they had planned for what was originally going to be an anime series.
I enjoyed the movie quite a bit as a kid but looking back it didn't make that much sense but it still doesn't stop me from liking it
for the nostalgia.
the south island theme is all i care about
I loved this movie as a kid and loved it even more high, in my dorm room
I loved this movie... still do... and I watch it regularly.
Also, I guess you missed Sonic flipping Metal Robotnik off during their first encounter. The American version tried to edit into his index finger, but not very well. ..
He posted clips of his first time watching it. He did a _lot_ of staring at his phone and talking over the movie. He probably missed it.
Watch it again. He puts his hand down and if you look at the animation you can see it's not his middle finger
@@drifter402 read their comment again
Fun fact there was a deleted scene of Sara breast feeding Dr Eggman offspring in a fantasy
You sure that was deleted, i'm pretty sure i saw that when watching it XD
That's not deleted, its in the OVA, just watch it on RUclips
iirc that was only removed for the VHS releases. I think its in the DVD/HD versions
WTF
Well, that’s why they invented alcohol...

@@alejandrokudo5463 Correct!
16:17
Overly complicated story?! Sonic is tricked into thinking a robot is going to destroy the world. It is revealed that it was just a scheme to activate Metal Sonic. That's it... Well Its official. Anything other than "hero rescues the princess" is too complicated for a general audience.
No. Doug is just an idiot.
Well I wouldn't go that far, but he certainly has trouble understanding a simple story.
He doesn't even know anything about the sonic franchise. Period. During his sonic satam and the adventures of sonic the hedgehog, Doug talked about how he knew nothing of sonic. Yet, several years later, he makes another sonic review, and all he does is repeats the same jokes and memes that everyone has already done.
And my god the freaking Megaman comparison. This isn't even a review. It's a man who thinks he is being so dang clever but is just embarrassing himself all the way through.
Superior to Modern Sonic and Modern "Classic Sonic"? Yeah I'd say so. Superior to 90's Classic Sonic and 2000's Modern Sonic? Yeahhh I don't know about that.
+Lit Woman - I suppose that's why Sonic continues trying new ideas which may or may not work; while Mega Man is a walking corpse being dragged along on strings by Capcom to make money.
One of these series is trying to find new ideas to wow people; the other is doing the same thing over and over again, and getting praised for it. Somewhere along the line, a mistake was made. I love both series, but Megaman 9 and 10 were just 2 and 3 rehashed. At least Sonic Mania was something different with a return to form.
You didn't even mention the best part of the movie. The song "Look-a-Like" that's at the end credits. It's been in my random playlist for over a decade.
I don't think the Critic ever or rarely ever goes into credit music.
True. But if you're gonna rip on it, at least show off the one good thing about it.
I did not expect to start my day off with a Nostalgia Critic review of the Sonic Movie. I'm not complaining I'm just...pleasantly surprised.
3:11 "Tails, his sidekick/child ADULT SLASH FICTION" Wooow Critic, you went there.
Wow, that was actually styled like classic nostalgia critic.
Was anybody else getting the same vibes? This was perfect material for a classic vid anyways. I thought this review was a good one, kuddos, doug!

“We don’t have time to mess around with some robot!”
That’s LITERALLY why you’re here Sonic. To stop an evil robot. Were you listening to your own plot?
Cartoon High actually sonic's Logic is "First we stop the Ticking time limit bomb THEN we stop that robot who's Shitting bullets on us"
This is actually remarkably close to the first official Sonic bible. Nobody could agree on what Sonic was like, so they made it, although it was quickly disregarded.
Sonic was a normal hedgehog from Wisconsin exposed to nuclear radiation from Dr. Robotnik’s machines. Robotnik raised Sonic like a son. Sonic eventually grew to resent him for his treatment of wildlife, though he still held fond memories with him. This cartoon fits that iteration of Sonic fairly well.
Wait....there's a Sonic bible????
@@genesisknight9948 a franchise's bible is basically just a collection of character backstories, series lore and design standards to keep consistency across different iterations. The creative teams don't always stick to them though.
@@swanson2830 arent there like several different Sonic backstories that contradict each other directly?
@@voilvelev6775 do you have an example? Aside from the differences in specific details between comics (outlined in OP's comment; not considered canon to the games), SatAm (again, not considered canon to the games), and 1st game I'm drawing a blank on origins (edit: as far as I can tell, Sega didn't give details on most backstories in the early games; they set up character traits and characteristics and kept most of them pretty fixed until Saturn/Dreamcast era)
Please review Tremors (1990) please its nostalgic and fun with good practical effects we want to see what you think....
Lost Cause Agreed
Kevin Bacon is hilarious in that movie
Yes, please! I love that movie!
Lost Cause love that movie
Yes please please
No matter what anyone says, Sonic Unleashed is still my favourite Sonic Game of all time.
...SO WHAT IF HE TURNS INTO A WEREWOLF? I still like it...
Tomas Hy15 Noice :)
Its not awful
Fizzy Elf Exactly. But there were stages that ticked me off, mainly Eggmanland.
Crazy Note: Michael Jackson actually did some tracks for Sonic 3
Trenton Hamilton That’s not an indisputable fact.
And when he heard how they sounded on the system he told Sega to remove them if I recall
The story goes that he was dissatisfied with how his music sounded when it came out of the Genesis, so he asked to have his name removed from the game. Sega claims the music was removed because of the pedophilia accusations levied against him around that time.
And now I can hear Thriller in 8-bit sound effects in my head.
Ice cap zone,carnival night,etc.....Sonics shoes were also inspired by michaels boots.
hummm should have mentioned the 2013 sonic fan film ;) lol
Yep
He did in the beginning.
The one with Nazo?
He did. He also played a forest gun soldier
He did. At 2:05
5:06 his daughter is *Aerith* ... not worth saving, she dies anyway.
Gotta go fast, Doug!
You know, before DeviantArt!
NOSTALGIC X!!!
Didn’t expect this... but I like surprises like this.
Doug, I love you and all, but Sara's meant to be a Cat-Girl. They were kind of like what you gave normal people to lure them into being Furries. It's a Japanese thing. So in a way... it's worse than you thought, just not in the way you thought.
Yeah it could of been way worse
I'm surprised he didn't address how Tails' "I'm afraid of lightning" line can TOTALLY be heard as "I'm a pretty lady."
I feel like you left out the part where Metal showed empathy, a side effect of having Sonic's data copied. That's why he simply let the Owl borrow Sonic's clothes and why he saved the President.
But nah, cut that part out for the sake of a joke. Its cool.
He probably legitimately didn't catch on to that part. I sure as hell didn't as a kid
Gino Ramos who cares the movie is garbage
14:10 greatest use of that word I have ever seen.
What’s funny is that Sonic and Mega Man had a comic book crossover in the form of 12-issues from the Archie lineup.

Okay everybody, be honest, would anyone be surprised if that conversation was 100% Canon?
I know for a fact that I wouldn't.
There is no such thing as canon in the Sonic. Even DC has less convoluted timeline.

If you're referring to the movie, of course it doesn't follow any set Canon. The games and comics on the other hand...

I am really getting sick and tried of the sonic has porn mention. EVERTHING HAS PORN MADE FOR IT. Why is this only ever mentioned when talking about sonic. Theirs a reason why its called rule 34.
Cause it’s fun to bandwagon and not form your own opinions
The difference on that is the fact that in the case of sonic it was in canon but yeah people obsess about it way to much. Funny how Donkey Kong & Bowser kidnaps women and no one goes on and on about that but god forbid sonic kisses a human girl one time.
sonicsnake44 its because people need a reason to hate sonic so they can join the bandwagon
I'm guessing it's because of the wildly different art styles used. Elise looks very uncanny and Sonic was... dead at the time. And Elise is just dead-eyed.
Because sonic has the weirdest fanbase ever. Yeah everything has porn. But sonic porn has everything.
Cue Vore-Mpreg-Catholic Sonic.
If a someone trys to stick you with a useless love interest like a catgirl or a cheap Final Fantasy character, that's no good.
