Sonic the Hedgehog is an hour-long anime OVA starring everybody's favorite blue hedgehog. Produced by Studio Pierrot and Sega, it was originally released in Japan in 1996 initially as the two half-hour VHS tapes Journey to Eggmanland and Sonic vs. Metal Sonic. While one of the original previews of the OVA was featured in 1997's Sonic Jam in all regions, a proper English dub by ADV Films was released on September 7, 1999, two days before Sonic Adventure internationally hit the shelves.Sonic (Masami Kikuchi) and Tails (Hekiru Shiina) are chillaxing on the beach when they receive a dispatch from the President of South Island (Yuzuru Fujimoto): he and his daughter Sera (Mika Kanai) are being held hostage (for a given value of "hostage") by Dr. Robotnik (Junpei Takiguchi). Oddly enough, what Robotnik wants is Sonic's help: he's been forced out of his base by the evil(er) Metal Robotnik, who has overloaded the power generator of Robotropolis. In less than a day, the generator will explode and cause the end of Planet Freedom as we know it. Sonic and Tails fly off to the city; along the way, they're joined by the free-roaming treasure-hunter Knuckles (and his hat), who just happens to be in the area.However, when the trio finally reach the generator, they find that the story was a ruse to extract Sonic's DNA and enable the completion of Hyper Metal Sonic: a robotic dopplegänger who not only has Sonic's speed, but Sonic's personality as well. Also, it turns out that Robotnik actually has no compunctions about blowing up Planet Freedom, since he'll then rule it by default — followed by "a life of undisturbed marital bliss with Sara."Being co-produced and supervised by Sega, along with Yuji Naka and Naoto Oshima of Sonic Team, this anime possibly served as the true vision of what they had intended the series to be at the time, a feat that couldn't be fully realized with the hardware limitations of the Sega Genesis. As such, it's suggested the many key elements found in later games like Sonic the Fighters, the aforementioned Sonic Adventure, and Sonic Mania were likely inspired by this anime.This film is not to be confused with the live-action movie released in 2020, or the Sonic X anime series. | |

Dub Species Change | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_10886580 | comment |
Dub Species Change: The English dub refers to Knuckles as a mole rather than an echidna. Granted, this could just be Sera (the only person who calls him "Mr. Mole") mixing up his species. | |

| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: In terms of the classic series, this like both Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) and Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the beginning of the series pushing the bar on how dark and serious it could get, especially compared to most of the other continuities at the time. Some of the fight scenes are brutal, Sonic is nearly killed several times, Robotnik now wants to destroy the planet instead of simply conquering it, and the end has Hyper Metal Sonic's on-screen death by slowly short-circuiting and melting in magma. | |

Power Creep, Power Seep | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_14dfb81 | comment |
Power Creep, Power Seep: In S3&K, Knuckles could glide through the air. Here, it gets upgraded to the ability to jump ridiculously high, hover in midair, and possibly fly outright. Like Tails' propensity for mechanical shenanigans, this movie seems to be the start of a trend of non-game media to upgrade Knuckles' gliding to full-fledged flight. | |

Shows Damage: Metal Sonic, over the course of the movie, becomes increasingly damaged by various things; starting with part of the shell on his head being broken away, and by the time of his death from melting in magma, ends up with his entire lower half torn off, his head completely broken open, and him visibly shorting out and smoking; his eyes flickering as he slowly drags himself over to Sonic. | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Robotnik is set up as a bumbling, buffoonish idiot who is actually being bullied by his supposed "hostage" in several scenes. Then comes the last third of the film, where it reveals Metal Sonic is the key to his latest plan, which itself consists of the complete genocide of all sapient life on the planet. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Throughout the Land of Darkness, Sonic and Tails are shown avoiding various spikes on the ground, followed by Sonic jumping onto a spring, in a condensed version of the series' usual level design. Tails has a severe case of astraphobia in the movie. This is a reference to his astraphobia mentioned in his character bio in Sonic Jam. Interestingly, Sonic Jam came out after the OVA, so it may be that the concept was retroactively made canon. The robots used to hold the President and Sera hostage are cartoonishly lopsided SWATbots with EggRobo physiques and extra Spikes of Villainy. When Metal Robotnik grabs Knuckles, Sonic transforms into a buzzsaw to slice through Metal Robotnik's hand so he can rescue Knuckles. | |

Early Adaptation Weirdness | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_26fd153 | comment |
Early Adaptation Weirdness: Since the movie was released only five years into the franchise's life, there are some moments that would nowadays be considered majorly out of character, such as Sonic's irritable demeanor with Tails (most notably ignoring his scared cries and yelling at him to shut up), and Knuckles describing himself as "Sonic's best friend". Setting aside the fact that Tails is meant to be Sonic's best friend, while Knuckles clearly respects Sonic, and they get along (most of the time), he's much too gruff to say something like that. Sonic is also depicted as somewhat quick-tempered, contrasting his cool and laidback portrayal from later games, who is described as being "always cool under pressure" by official bios. The setting itself is also unusual, with society living on floating islands while the ground level of the planet is a desolate wasteland. | |

False Flag Operation: Robotnik’s entire scheme is a ridiculously transparent ruse that one of his robots, Metal Robotnik, has gone amock and has taken over his empire, asking for the aid of Sonic and Tails to help defeat it, but in reality its just a trap so he can lure Sonic to his base so he can scan and transfer his life data into Hyper Metal Sonic. | |

Gratuitous English: The ending song, "Look-a-like", is sung (and spoken for a bit) entirely in English by a Japanese singer, Riyu Konaka. For the most part, the grammar and pronunciation are pretty solid, note the singer pronounces memory as "memorai" in one verse, which itself isn't entirely grammatically sound but the actual meaning of the lyrics is a bit obtuse. | |

Accidental Pervert: Sonic can apparently see through Metal Sonic's eyes due to Metal being a copy of Sonic; this explains why Sonic was blushing when Metal got a good look up Sera's skirt.

| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Dub Sonic will sometimes switch back and forth from sounding like a southern teenager to a British Bifauxnen when the voice acting gets particularly energetic. Odd considering he was voiced by a Texan man, Martin Burke. Robotnik will also occasionally slip into an indeterminate European accent, noticeably when he shouts "FINE! DON'T BLAME ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS!" and when he gives Tails a navigator watch. | |

Properly Paranoid: When Robotnik tells everyone what is happening in the Land of Darkness that requires Sonic's help, Sonic shrugs it off, believing he knows Robotnik is lying. Everyone tries to encourage him that it might not be the case. However, the generator melting down was eventually proven a hoax. | |

Rhetorical Question Blunder | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_3d038b36 | comment |
Rhetorical Question Blunder: When Sonic accuses Robotnik of kidnapping the President's daughter to force them to comply with his demands, the latter faux-innocently asks if Sonic thinks he's capable of something that underhanded. Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik's own robots immediately answer with a resounding "Yes!" | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Sonic is almost effortlessly beaten by Metal Sonic in their first fight, and only survives because Metal Sonic loses track of him. Interstingly, their final fight was also turning into a curb stomp battle before Tails interferred, as Sonic didn't have the stamina to keep up with Metal Sonic for more than a couple of minutes. If Tails hadn't stepped in and corrupted Metal Sonic's programming, Sonic would have been killed. | |

Adaptational Heroism: Downplayed with Metal Sonic. While he is still an antagonist for most of the film, he does end up making a Heel–Face Turn and sacrifices himself to save the President and Old Man Owl in the end, something that Metal Sonic would never do in the games. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: On this planet, watching this movie, you'll notice, you'll notice, many things that look alike: The OVA has its tone, music and art style rooted directly in the original Genesis titles (Sonic CD and Sonic 3 in particular), but the explanation for the urban environments found in those games (post-apocalyptic Earth populated with anthropomorphic mutants who live in a sky kingdom ruled by... cat people, we guess) is completely different from anything else found in the series — the post-apocalyptic angle would also be used by Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), but the World in the Sky aspect is unique. Some exclusive characters pop up here and there, and there is no mention of the Chaos Emeralds anywhere. In addition, Knuckles is also depicted as a treasure hunter who lives for the thrill of his job, rather the guardian of the Master Emerald. Later games such as Sonic Unleashed did away with all ambiguity by calling it "Earth" and showing Sonic traveling from city to city, Kino-style, and interacting with humans. Would that the OVA thought up such a mundane solution! | |

Effective Knockoff | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_520a179d | comment |
Effective Knockoff: Compared to his usual portrayals, Metal Sonic is almost frighteningly efficient at taking down Sonic. The first battle between the two is a complete Curbstomp Battle in Metal Sonic's favor, and the second confrontation was starting to go south for Sonic again shortly after it started. The only reason the trio manages to squeak by is that Tails was able to hack into Metal Sonic's programming and Metal Sonic also copied Sonic's morals. | |

Inconsistent Spelling: Sera is her name in the original Japanese and Sara in the English dub. "Sarah" is right out. Official marketing materials sometimes spells Sera's name as Sara, though in practice they're both pronounced the same; her and Eggman's names are still displayed clearly in the fighting game gag, as well. The official subtitles included in the DVD release go with the Japanese terminology and retranslate the script more accurately to boot. | |

Internal Deconstruction: Of the franchise's famous Evil Knock Off, Metal Sonic. The OVA dives into several aspects of him that are normally glossed over. Sonic has to fight an Elite Mook robot just as fast as him, but has the added benefit of never tiring as he does? He gets his ass handed to him, both times he tries to fight him, pure and simple. Metal Sonic being an exact robotic clone of Sonic? Also means he has aspects of Sonic's personality, too, which interferes with Robotnik's plans. The most effective way of beating him? No, it's not Heroic Willpower; it's messing with his programming! | |

Bond Villain Stupidity: Robotnik is clearly one of those grandiose super villains who doesn't want to simply kill his foe, but first defeat him in something resembling a fair fight. Hence the scene where Robotnik, taking advantage of Sonic's and Tails' distraction, whips out a handgun and shoots Tails' wrist-radar: even though Tails' head must have been an equally clear shot (if not moreso, considering the size of it). | |

Fear of Thunder | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_82bdf1f8 | comment |
Tails has a severe case of astraphobia in the movie. This is a reference to his astraphobia mentioned in his character bio in Sonic Jam. Interestingly, Sonic Jam came out after the OVA, so it may be that the concept was retroactively made canon. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent? | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_8829dfa0 | comment |
What the Hell Is That Accent?: You could point out that this was before the characters actually had voices in the games. Even so Sonic's voice in the English dub, provided by Martin Burke, has a very bizarre, indeterminate accent. It sounds like a cross between a vague southern accent and a British falsetto, with the latter being obvious in the more frenetic scenes. Alternatively, it can be described as a Texan trying to put on a surfer dude accent, which is a bit closer to the reality. | |

| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_91e3910c | comment |
Ruins of the Modern Age: The island where Sonic and Tails live is covered in a pile of wrecked, rusted and vegetation-covered machines such as a passenger airplane, a train, and communications towers. The "ancient relics" on the outskirts of Robotropolis are recognizably those of modern architecture, covered in vines and with derelict cars lining the streets. When Sonic and Tails climb a skyscraper, the skyline is recognizably that of Manhattan, complete with the Empire State Building and one of the Twin Towers. | |

As You Know: Lampshaded. Robotnik starts his evil spiel by outlining how, "as you both well know", the world is divided between an outer layer of Floating Continents and a gloom-shrouded surface. This is useful info for the audience, who needs to be introduced to the setting, but rather less so for the characters, who know all this perfectly well, as an annoyed Sonic points out. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Tails states that because Robotnik uploaded Sonic's bio-data into Metal Sonic, Metal is capable of having the same interests and personality as the real Sonic. While there are a few signs of this even when fighting each other, the biggest one was during his Heroic Sacrifice to save Sara's father and Old Man Owl. Sonic lampshades this during his rematch against Metal: | |

Floating Continent | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_9b0b8109 | comment |
Floating Continent: The skies of Planet Freedom are filled with dense clusters of floating islands, most of them large enough to hold good-sized mountains, lakes or cities on their surfaces. This layer, referred to as "the Land of the Sky", is home to most of the planet's inhabitants, who mostly get around with flying machines. Between the plethora of floating landmasses and the cloud cover, the surface of Planet Freedom is largely shrouded in darkness; hence why it's called "the Land of Darkness". | |

American Kirby Is Hardcore: The covers for both volumes of the OVA in Japan are bright and colorful, much like the Japanese covers of the games. Conversely, the western VHS cover◊, as seen at the top of the page, features Sonic against a dark black-and-blue background with an angry Tails and Knuckles badly edited behind him. The western DVD cover◊ averts this, however, with a simple image of Sonic against a brighter blue background. | |

Gag Dub | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_9f240209 | comment |
Gag Dub: Reputable Dubbing's Sonic the Other Movie is a comedic rewrite of the movie, made by Sonic Paradox's Smegerama. Though most of it is the same story, the dialogue and various visual gags change it into a mostly comedic experience. Fireball 20XL's Sonic Bastardized is a redubbed adaptation in which Robotnik Eggman wants Sonic to go shut off a bomb he planted in Blizzard Entertainment's mainframe (in retribution for his World of Warcraft losses), and Metal Sonic is a robot named Hyper Metal Jason (after Jason Griffith) that Eggman intends to use to replace Sonic's voice. Then comes The Rollin Nolan's Sonic the Abridgehog, which eventually expanded into its own continuity and series. | |

Dramatic Irony: Downplayed; attentive viewers will know Eggman is actually piloting Metal Robotnik when Sonic and Tails don't. The pod that comes to collect Robotnik and Princess Sarah shows is actually Metal Robotnik's torso, but the OVA puts in a token effort to keep from making it too obvious by having it crash through the ceiling so that only Metal Robotnik's jaw is exposed. | |

Copied the Morals, Too: Ultimately Metal Sonic's downfall. He was made using an exact copy of Sonic's DNA. While he follows Robotnik's orders, he also shows signs of Sonic's old personality. Most notably, he gives Old Man Owl Sonic's old clothes when he thinks he had killed the original and rescues Old Man Owl and the president at the cost of his own life. Really, him fighting Sonic ultimately boiled down to wanting to prove himself superior to the original. | |

The depiction of Station Square as a flooded city in ruins at the end of Sonic Adventure was likely inspired by the ancient ruins in the OVA, even using much of the same imagery. Several of Tails' game bios mention that he's afraid of lightning. The earliest known mention of this trait in the context of the games was Sonic Jam, which came out a year after this OVA, so it's likely another example of the trope. Metal Sonic Power Copying from scans of the other characters would return in later games. Metal Robotnik would later be referenced by the Eggrobo mech from Sonic Lost World. | |

Curb-Stomp Cushion | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_c6bc89f7 | comment |
Curb Stomp Cushion: The second battle between Metal Sonic and Sonic. Metal Sonic still has a very clear edge and is the one in control for a majority of the fight, but being better prepared this time, Sonic is able to put up a much better fight than in their first battle. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Robotnik builds missiles designed after a tortoise and a hare. The hare reaches its target and explodes right away. The tortoise... takes a bit longer. One of the derelict aircraft on Sonic's island looks suspiciously like the USS Enterprise. Sera's wedding dress is reminiscent of Neo-Queen Serenity's outfit. During the view of the city of the Land of the Sky, there's a building with a design that looks suspiciously similar to the classic Rareware logo. The game that both Robotnik and Sara are seen playing is reminiscent of Sega's 1992 arcade game, Holosseum. The difference is that the game is being played on a Sega Saturn-esque console and has a monochrome color similar to that of the Game Boy. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: The official English dub renames Dr. Eggman to Dr. Robotnik for one of the last few times, as it was released in 1999. To go along with it, Eggmanland was renamed Robotropolis (as a Shout-Out to one of the Saturday morning cartoons), and Black Eggman was renamed Metal Robotnik. In addition, official marketing spells Sera's name as Sara, though in practice they're both pronounced the same; her and Eggman's names are still displayed clearly in the fighting game gag, as well. The official subtitles included in the DVD release go with the Japanese terminology and retranslate the script more accurately to boot. | |

Last-Second Chance: Hyper Metal Sonic rescues the President and Old Man Owl from an exploding rocket towards the end of the film, but having been dismembered in his fight with Sonic and then by the resulting explosion, he falls into the magma pit below and is melted on-screen, refusing to be rescued by Sonic on the grounds that "there is only one Sonic". | |
