Featuring Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.

Before the massive success of the 2020 live-action blockbusters, there was a short but ambitious Original Video Animation (OVA) produced by the legendary Studio Pierrot (known for Naruto and Bleach ). Originally released in Japan in two 30-minute episodes titled "Journey to Eggmanland" and "Sonic vs. Metal Sonic!!", the OVA was designed as a potential pilot for a much larger anime series. The story follows Sonic and Tails as they are tricked by a supposedly vulnerable Dr. Robotnik into retrieving a Chaos Emerald, only to find themselves battling their robotic doppelgänger, Hyper Metal Sonic.

The final battle was a blur of hand-drawn animation that the digital era would soon render obsolete. Sonic and Metal Sonic fought in the stratosphere, tearing through glaciers and lava flows. The "Dual Audio" feature became Leo’s new favorite toy. He watched the dramatic reveal of Metal Sonic’s sentience in Japanese for the emotional gravitas, then flipped to English for the comfort of the familiar voices.
