Offering four exemplary episodes from the hyperactive FoxBox anime television series featuring spiffy-looking hedgehog hero Sonic and his pals (originating in a video game for the now-defunct Sega Genesis system), Sonic X: Satellite Swindle's title story finds Sonic taking on his stubborn enemy--inventor-genius Eggman--in space, while "The Last Resort" pits the same villain against speed demon Sonic in the unlikely setting of a vacation resort. In the other two episodes, "Unfair Ball" rallies Sonic's friends in a makeshift baseball game against Eggman's All-Stars (playing for a coveted "chaos diamond"), while "Fly Spy" ushers in kid-favorite Sonic buddy Knuckles in an adventure set on Eggman's turf. Featuring lively animation, this English-language production, rated 7-up, is sure to be popular. Recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
