Video: Sonic's 'Night of the Werehog' CG short

If you wish to preserve even the slightest chance of appreciating Sega's animated short, Night of the Werehog, there are a few things you'll need to accept:

1. Sonic (a blue, cartoon hedgehog, as you'll recall) transforms into a mutant lycanthrope with stretchy limbs. We have no idea why.

2. Sonic and his diminutive sidekick are haunted by a pair of ghostly voyeurs.

3. Aside from the mascot's metamorphosis, it's difficult to decipher any connection with the story presented in Sonic Unleashed. We'll venture that it's probably a good thing.

4. Sorry, it's still distinctly lacking in Jaleelitude.

With that out of the way, head past the break and enjoy the show.
