“You’re the face of the company!” “And the company is my face!” That got me laughing more than I should have been.

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
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.
I sometimes forget that Doug played a role in that fan-made Sonic film
Wait, what???
OH SHIT thats right, the one that the guy who did the Megaman fan film made right??
@@KamenRiderRaiden seriously, what?????????

@@sevdijehavziu3015 A reporter talking about Sonic on a jumbotron on the side of a skyscraper
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
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...

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.

GERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
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.

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.

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

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.

not to mention the webcomic that rpedates the archie comic crossover

strange isn't it?
Exactly!!!
Rutger van den Heuvel :p
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.
3:02 - Umm actually, people love Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, including myself.
And Heroes.
And rush.
"FINE, don't blame me when this happens!" *B A N*
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
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).

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
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.

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.

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
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 !
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
13:45 As if that would be out-of-character for Doctor Robotnik...?
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
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
15:17 Well I can't tell if he has a middle finger.
15:00 You are surprised of that.I recommend you to watch Fairy tail and its ovas
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.
This is the best thing i've read all day
Bryce Mckenzie How long did it take you to make this joke
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
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?
6:35 pretty much sums up a lot of comic books and manga.
I watched the movie in preparation for this... And I liked the movie.
Same, it’s a light-hearted, simple, comical, and an overall fun movie for you to just sit back and enjoy. It’s a really underrated movie It gets a 9/10 for me
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.
5:06 his daughter is *Aerith* ... not worth saving, she dies anyway.
16:23 Creators: "If you don't know who Sonic is, why would you watch a Sonic movie?" This was for fans and the creators assumed you didn't live in vaccum (unlike Hollywood)
Nobody ever commented how this foreshadowed Princess Elise from Sonic 06.
At least the catgirl doesn't havea demonic creature belonging to a time god inside her. This movie didn't take itself seriously.
13:20 I died laughing at that part Metal sonic: (CRASHES THROUGH PLANE) Presidents dueater: DONT LOOK THERE YOU PERVERT!😡😠😨 Metal sonic: I WAS TGROWN INTO HERE DONT BLAME ME😐😡💀🕵️♂️💢
13:24-13:26 A famiiiiily picture!
Y4123 Ikr strange isn't it?
I'm outta here ❤ LL
AN AAAAAAAANIMMEEE PICTUH
Y4123 GOD DAMN IT🤣
14:38 ohh.
14:02 Jesus Christ man.
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."
14:10 greatest use of that word I have ever seen.
Thumbs up if your here after watching the sonic the hedgehog movie trailer (Edit) wow 108 likes! Most I ever got! Thanks!
Lol I love the sonic OAV cartoony and fun . , had to wash my eyes after seeing that new sonic movie trailer xD
Ayyyy
I just watched the “fixed” trailer!
Me and you can find this on KZhead the ova not the new 1
@@Sir_Loin_ the hype
9:10 tell me that explosion did not look like a butt
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?
@@ThePuzzledboyit’s because he just doesn’t give a fuck about Sonic…and also because it’s ANIMATED
Didn’t expect this... but I like surprises like this.
6:47 who is actually the hostage
Actually, this isn't supposed to be a movie. It was supposed be a two part anime pilot for a series that was never green lit
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.
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
13:08 “Wii + Gun + A + Pork!”
