Monday Links: Suddenly Fingers Edition

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, and by that I mean not go to Sonic-related websites in the past few days, you know that Eddie Lebron released his Sonic fan film last week. And if you’ve seen you’ll probably think that it’s impressive for a low-budget fan project or that it’s crap. Or you actually have a different opinion than the majority of the internet, but that’d just be silly. Anyway monday links.

    I’m afraid of watching it. I mean, Sonic is being voiced by Jaleel White… Does Sonic act and sound like an annoying brat who’s constantly trying too hard to be cool, like he did in Dic’s cartoons?

      By trying too hard to act cool you mean like every voice actor of Sonic ever…?

    The movie is quite impressive for a fan film but the animation could use work in some areas (sonic’s talking and expressions.)

    I can appreciate the effort that’s gone into it… and I liked the cameo’s from some of the actors…

    But that was the most hilariously bad thing I’ve seen in quite some time. Stop trying to make Sonic all angsty and dark- it’s really stoopid.

    Tsk. Not horrible, but really, don’t try to make Sonic dark, it doesn’t work. A fan film is better off being completely CG. Making it real life makes it like it has to be dark or something. Nice try though, I liked it, a bit.
