I especially like\nthe theme song, which is very catchy.&nbsp; My favorite episode is <em>The Meteor<\/em> when Sonic and Dr. Eggman\nswitch their brains and body accidentally.&nbsp; They touch a meteor and then\ntheir brains and bodies are switched.&nbsp; Dr. Eggman becomes Sonic and Sonic\nbecomes Dr. Eggman. Dr. Eggman tries to act like he really is Sonic and tries\nto trick Sonic\u2019s friends so he can destroy them and he can rule the world,\nsince he is now a genius and super fast.&nbsp; My other favorite episode is <em>Double Doomsday<\/em>.&nbsp; In this episode a\nkid meets Dr. Eggman and the kid gets mad at Dr. Eggman, because he is makes\nthe kid do chores.&nbsp; The kid makes a doomsday device to destroy the\nworld.&nbsp; He tells Dr. Eggman that his doomsday device is going to do more\ndamage and they start competing against each other to destroy the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic4.jpg?resize=225%2C116&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4997\" width=\"225\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic4.jpg?resize=300%2C155&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic4.jpg?resize=768%2C396&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic4.jpg?resize=1024%2C528&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic4.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The moral\nto the stories is about team work making the dream work, because in each\nepisode Sonic is helped by his sidekick and best friends to either defeat Dr.\nEggman or to enjoy their different adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give this\nDVD 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 18, but adults can watch it\nwith their kids and may find it amusing.&nbsp; This disk is\ndefinitely&nbsp;worth&nbsp;four hours.&nbsp; <em>Sonic\nBoom, Season 1, Volume 1<\/em>, is available now, so look for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonic Boom: Season 1, Volume 1<br>By Beatrice Nail, KIDS FIRST!

Along with help from his friends, Sonic uses his super\nspeed to save the day. Let\u2019s meet a few of Sonic&#8217;s friends! There is Amy, a\npink hedgehog, who uses her giant pink and yellow hammer to defeat Dr. Eggman.\nThere is Knuckles who uses his super strength, and of course his knuckles, to\ntake down Dr. Eggman. Finally, there is Sticks, who uses her boomerang to help\nSonic win each battle with Dr. Eggman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all takes place in Sonic\u2019s strange village and Dr. Eggman\u2019s evil lair. The series is directed by Natalys Raut Sieuzac and Sonic is voiced by Roger Craig Smith. Sonic is a mischievous blue hedgehog. He can sometimes get a little overprotective of his friend Tails, a cute fox who loves making gadgets that are actually helpful, unlike Dr. Eggman\u2019s scary but silly inventions. Dr. Eggman is a true blockhead who sees himself as a genius, even though he is not at all clever. Amy is a true peacemaker who can\u2019t stand it when her friends fight, but gladly helps fight Dr. Eggman. Knuckles is well\u2026 pretty much a dingbat. He often believes anything he hears and he hears a lot of those unbelievable things from Sticks. No, not a twig! Her name is Sticks and she is way too wild and crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic2.jpg?resize=225%2C116&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4995\" width=\"225\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic2.jpg?resize=300%2C155&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic2.jpg?resize=768%2C396&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic2.jpg?resize=1024%2C528&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sonic2.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Get on\nboard with Sonic and his friends because every episode is a new, supersonic\nadventure!
