Do Not Disturb is episode 25 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 29 April 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Sonic’s alarm clock this morning is a drooling widabit, a rare species, and she has decided his shack is the perfect love nest. Fastidious Beaver of the Endangered Species Coalition evicts him, backed by co-chairman Amy, so Sonic moves in with Tails. Before long, Sonic’s clutter and practical jokes have Tails at the end of his rope.
Amy warns the ritual could take months, so Tails hurries romance along with a loudspeaker playing a mating call. The male that turns up can’t stand the female, a candlelit-restaurant makeover of the shack doesn’t help, and the roommates bicker over who ruined the mood. When Eggman attacks, a protected widabit wanders onto the battlefield and follows the fight wherever it moves.
Then the call works too well, and a stampede of males flattens Eggman. Fifty widabits can legally be relocated; Sonic counts 49, so Sticks sniffs out the last one in the forest, where Sonic and Tails finally laugh it off, agreeing that best friends needn’t be the best roommates. The 50th suitor wins the female over, but nesting takes a week, so Sonic stays at Tails’ place, and Knuckles, who has secretly been living under the porch, moves in too.
