Kudos to him for still being able to do the voice, but yeah. :/
You really think he got payed?

If this were a game, would it be more fun than Sonic Adventure 2?
Christ, no. That song is one of the worst things to come out of the Sonic series in terms of music. So fucking bad.
Getting penetrated by an angry bear is probably more fun than playing SA2.
It'd be somewhere above Pokemon Black and White, but below Sonic 2006.
Dragonball for furries
Jaleel White must be really, really broke.
I dunno, maybe? Him not having anything better to do was more the point.
Who's been dreaming of a Sonic movie? Whoever it is, STOP.
Takes itself way to seriously. It's like someone barfed The Dark Knight all over Sonic.
"WAY PAST COOL, HUH"
Green Scar, you have brought great shame to SonicGAF
On Judgment day, this topic will be remebered
We already were given a Sonic movie. And it was good.
This...this is an abomination.

MAN VS. WILD
Maybe it's because it's been trimmed from the title, but it's easy to forget sometimes that Sonic is, in fact, a hedgehog. The original game reminded us of Sonic's mammalian nature through the simple act of burrowing. Burrowing has all but disappeared from Sonic's current repertoire (Colours notwithstanding), but SEGA would do well to flesh out this aspect of the character, because...
Sonic the Hedgehog is the story of one man's attempt to impose his will upon nature. Dr Robotnik imprisons and controls every living creature by essentially roboticising them. This could very easily be used as a mirror to examine our own society and history; our 'mastery' over nature (or ruination of it), our reckless pursuit of technology, even the enslavement of indigenous cultures. This analogy positions Sonic as a Force of Nature, an avatar of the Animal Kingdom, rising up to take back what is rightfully theirs. Strengthening this analogy transforms a mere Mascot With Attitude™ into a Genuine Rebel – an Animal Activist – fraught with intention, nobility, and motivation. Already you can see how just a minor tweak can cause a major image shift.
SCIENCE UNCHECKED
It's interesting then, when you consider that a majority of the tweaking over the past decade or so has been made to Sonic himself. Heroes are quite often situational, born out of necessity, or thrust into action by events beyond their control. When the stakes are raised, the hero inevitably rises to the occasion. What does this mean? You've seen it in Hollywood and you've seen it in comics – a superhero story is only as good as its villain. Even with Sonic as a Force of Nature, SEGA has to address the fairly evident fact that his nemesis - Dr. Robotnik - is lacking.
Perhaps if Sonic Team spent less time exaggerating his prosperous girth and moustache, and more time exaggerating the diabolical mind ticking away behind it - well, we'd have ourselves a Sonic game, sir!
Believe it or not, Robotnik holds the key to Sonic's greatness.
Up until now, this mad science villain has exercised near-saintly levels of self-control. I mean, how did he even manage to march into Green Hill Zone, incarcerate and roboticise all of its inhabitants, only to leave every last blade of grass completely unscathed? Seriously, the place is beautiful – it's got palm trees, crystal blue oceans, cascading waterfalls, rocks – what's a few killer robots in paradise? Sure, he bombed the living daylights out of Angel Island, and installed a satellite dish on Mushroom Hill, but all things considered I think his carbon footprint stacks up quite favourably to the likes of BHP and Rio Tinto.
Then again, there was Oil Ocean.
I want to see animals flee for their lives; I want to see habitats destroyed; I want to follow the trail of destruction right into the heart of Robotropolis. I want to re-experience that tangible feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach as Sonic Alone braves the saw blades and death-traps of Scrap Brain Zone. I want to be the only thing standing between Evil Genius and Planetary Destruction in the face of Overwhelming Odds. The way I see it, every boss should be a Death Egg.
All of the greatest villains have been more cerebral than brutish, and by playing up this characteristic Robotnik could join the ranks of Lex Luthor, the Joker, and Moriarty as truly worthy arch-rivals. Don't you find it interesting that he imprisons animals inside robots that in turn are built to look like animals? Does Robotnik have a God Complex? Did he simply tire of the natural order of things and decide he could do it better? It's time to set the Mad Doctor loose and let him reshape the world in his image.
We already had a good Sonic movie... -_-Who's been dreaming of a Sonic movie? Whoever it is, STOP.
What Sonic movie was that?
And I told you that this thread would degenerate into the conversation we're having now. :|I made the OP for Sonic Adventure 2. After that, anything goes
Sonic fans are the worst. The WORST.
That and Pokemon fans.
No, Sonic fans are worse than Pokémon fans. There is no comparison.
It was really good until Sonic appeared. Robotnik was awesome.
