As a promotional piece for the “Sonic Unleashed” videogame, we also got this film. It’s sort of like if you threw Sonic into an episode of “Scooby-Doo”. It’s quite frankly awful and I don’t get who would find this entertaining. It has virtually nothing to do with the “Sonic The Hedgehog” games. It’s a major disappointed when compared to both the 90s anime film and the 2020 live-action one.
On a clichéd dark and stormy night, Sonic and Chip enter a spooky mansion. While walking around, they are terrorised by some ghosts. Sonic is transformed into his ‘werehog’ form and must fight against the ghosts. Really, that’s pretty much everything that happens in this.
Nobody speaks in this short. Sonic looks decent here and he looks exactly like he does in the “Sonic Unleashed” videogame. Just don’t expect to see Sonic doing any of his signature running. Instead, we have to see him in his dull werehog form. Chip was a character that I think was introduced in “Sonic Unleashed”. The ghosts are pretty boring. They look a little like the stupid ghosts from the “Casper” films. The animation on the characters is fine considering its meant to be a companion piece to the videogame.
“Sonic: Night of the Werehog” is a completely pointless short. Fans of the “Sonic” games are going to be disappointed because it has next to nothing to do with any of the games. Besides fans of the franchise, nobody else is going to bother to seek this short out. Aside from the animation, I just don’t have anything positive to say about this. It’s a total waste of time and I urge “Sonic” fans to just go and watch the “Sonic X” series, the 90s anime movie or the live-action 2020 film instead of this meaningless addition to the franchise.
