It’s a Sonic you haven’t seen before — an ensemble comedy that pokes fun at action–adventure
storytelling, but still manages to deliver plenty of adrenaline! Wherever he goes and whatever he’s up
against, Sonic the Hedgehog is aided by his sidekick, Tails, and his friends Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks
and, of course, attacked by his arch nemesis, Dr. Eggman. On this action–packed DVD, join Sonic and the
gang as they accept a dare from Dr. Eggman. Tag along with Sonic and Knuckles as they enter a game
show. And find out what happens when Sonic’s status as the town’s biggest hero is threatened. And so
much more! “I like the graphics and the music is intense. The voice-overs are so cool, especially because
it’s the first time I hear Sonic and his friends talk. They do not talk in the video game, rather than saying
“Oh Yeah!” Each episode is funny and fun to watch, because they are short, so it keeps your attention
the whole time.” Nathalia J. adds, “On this action-packed DVD, you get to tag along with Sonic the
Hedgehog and his pals as they escape from the evil enemies, fight for justice, work together as a team,
defeat evil and so much more.” Lukas L. wraps it with, “In every episode, there is a funny and creative
conflict with one of the characters and their band of friends come together to help them solve it with the
main leader Sonic. There is a fully developed plot and each of the characters have their own quirky
personality.” See their full reviews below.

I love this DVD. I love any show that has to do with my favorite childhood game characters. In this case,
the DVD is about Sonic, a super fast, blue hedgehog and his friends.
This DVD includes eight episodes and a bonus episode from Season 2, “If You Build it They Will Race“.
It also gives you a choice to watch the episodes in English or Spanish. Each episode is approximately
ten minutes with a total of 90 minutes of fun. In every episode, Sonic and his friends -Tails, Knuckles,
Amy and Sticks – come together to stop crimes against their number one enemy, Dr. Eggman. Dr.
Eggman is an evil scientist who wants to destroy Sonic and his crew. In every episode something evil
happens to Sonic and his friends, but they always manage to save the day.
My favorite episode is “Counter Productive” because it is about Sonic’s friend, Knuckles, fighting a giant
robot. This archaeologist named Charlie meets Knuckles and, from there on, Knuckles decides to help
him with his work. At one point, Knuckles becomes a bit annoying because, instead of helping Charlie, he
interrupts his work by messing it up. Knuckles and Charlie do not get along, to the point that Charlie
constructs a giant robot to fight big, red Knuckles. Of course, I am not going to tell you who wins the fight,
because you need to watch this cool DVD to find out.
I like the graphics and the music is intense. The voice-overs are so cool, especially because it’s the first
time I hear Sonic and his friends talk. They do not talk in the video game, rather than saying “Oh Yeah!”
Each episode is funny and fun to watch, because they are short, so it keeps your attention the whole
time. I got to see a sneak peek of the first episode of Season 2. I like how the bonus episode of Season
2 plays the theme song from the “Knight Rider” show.
The message of this DVD is “team work makes the dream work.” When Sonic and his friends work as a
team, they accomplish their mission by defeating the bad guy, Mr. Eggman.
I rate Sonic Boom, Go Team Sonic! 5 out of 5 stars, because I enjoyed watching Sonic and his friends in
a cartoon show, besides playing the game. I recommend this for ages 7 to 18 because teenagers will als oenjoy watching this DVD. The DVD is available now so look for it. Looking forward to watch Sonic Boom Season 2!

Go Team Sonic! This DVD includes eight Sonic-Powered episodes that will take you on numerous wild
adventures alongside Sonic the Hedgehog and his pals. This 90 minute DVD also includes a bonus
episode. How fun is that! On this action-packed DVD, you get to tag along with Sonic the Hedgehog and
his pals as they escape from the evil enemies, fight for justice, work together as a team, defeat evil and
so much more.
This DVD follows Sonic the hedgehog aided by his sidekick, Tails and his friends Knuckles, Amy and
Sticks. Each episode focuses on a new wild adventure as the whole gang fights their evil arch nemesis,
Dr. Eggman. As each action-packed episode goes along, you find out how Sonic’s status as the town’s
biggest hero is threatened. Not only do you get to fight alongside the leaders, you get to find out what life
is like being a hero.
The lead characters are Sonic the Hedgehog, his sidekick Amy, Tails, Knuckles and Dr. Eggman. My
favorite character is, without-a-doubt, Amy because she’s very outspoken, brave, fearless and powerful.
What I love most about Amy is the fact that she brings excitement to each episode, whether it’s through
her ambition to fight, her unexpected plans or even the real truth (which always ends up coming out of
Amy’s mouth).
My favorite episode on this DVD is Episode 4, “Fuzzy Puppy Buddies”. I enjoyed this episode more than
others, because it has a surprising twist when one of Sonic’s pals becomes Fuzzy Puppy Buddies with
their enemies. It brings so much suspense to the table.
There is no bad language in this DVD, no risky actions that younger kids might try to imitate. This film
shares an important message about always helping a friend in need.
I give this DVD 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 16, as well adults. The DVD is available
now so, make sure to check it out!

I really enjoyed watching the DVD Sonic Boom: Go Team Sonic, because the characters are super fun.
There are a couple of things I found somewhat distracting such as the mouthing of the characters which is
out of sync and the characters seem a bit bland, which detracts from the show.
Sonic Boom: Go Team Sonic is a collection of nine episodes from the computer animated Sonic Boom TV
series produced by Sega of America and Technicolor Animation Productions based on the video game
Sonic the Hedgehog. It stars Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends. In every episode, there is a funny and
creative conflict with one of the characters and their band of friends come together to help them solve it
with the main leader Sonic. There is a fully developed plot and each of the characters have their own
quirky personality.
This series stars Robert Craig Smith voicing Sonic the Hedgehog. His friends are voiced by Colleen
O’Shaughnessey (fun fact, she is the first female to ever voice the character Tails), Cindy Robinson and
Travis Willingham. It is created by Evan Baily, Donna Friedman and Sadrine Nguyen. Their voices have
distinct personalities, so the lip synch issue is not too noticeable. The characters are very well constructed
and you really see their personalities come through. However, the animation gives them very blank
expressions, which distracts from what is actually going on.
This series is entertaining and doesn’t have a great moral message, except reinforcing the concept of
friendship and solidarity.
I would give this series 3 out of 5 stars with an appealing age range of 5 to 8 years old and you can find
this on DVD and at the KIDS FIRST! Film festiva
