Out of Sega's IP, I avoided Sonic the Hedhehog series like a plague because it is one of the hotbed for Furries fanbase. But when this particular series that has been dying for about a decade getting a movie treatment by Hollywood, certainly it does draw my interest. While the movie draw some controversy from the initial trailer with questionable Sonic's design, it can be said that this Movie did really well. For a Video Game adaptation, I won't expect anything deep but Sonic movie is a good watch for family showing the beauty of friendship for Kids. One of the main pitfall for a Cartoon/Live Action Hybrid is that the human characters tend to be either Over/Under-represented but Sonic the Movie managed to nail the right balance. Sega seems to know what they are doing and no doubt picked the right team for this Movie. For once, Sega wins over Nintendo this time because Sonic the Movie definitely better than Detective Pikachu.
With the success of Sonic the Movie, Sega gave this series another chance for Reboot and certainly i am up for a sequel or game compilation even if i am not a fan of the series. If you look for a family friendly mindless fun movie, definitely give Sonic the Movie a try.
