They are shocked as the submarine melts the icy landscape from under the feet. The Hedgehogs then scurry to locate the lethal submarine before the entire planet is completely submerged under water.

The giant mechanical beast is seemingly unstoppable until he overhears the musical melodies of the Underground band. The music tames the savage beast and the Hedgehogs take advantage of this sudden change in the robots mood.
Review: Sonic Underground was a cartoon based on the Sega Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise. It came out around the turn of the millenium as this cool and hip update to Sonic for a new generation. This was the same time X-Men and Batman were getting cool revamps with X-Men Evolution and Batman Beyond.
We love a good cartoon here at the Legion, but we thought it best to leave the ultimate word up to our kids, ages 7 and 6. They loved both this and the Adventures of Sonic cartoons. The more the merrier. Although I would like to see complete seasons, these releases are a great taste of what the show was. This DVD release includes 4 episodes of the show. Overall, a ton of fun and a great quality cartoon! Move over Sponge Bob...Sonic is back!
