Rings? Check. Sneakers? Check. Speed? SONIC. SEGA’s legendary video game icon Sonic the Hedgehog races onto Netflix in a new 3D animated series from @SEGA, @WildBrainHQ and @ManOfActionEnt premiering in 2022.

[oldmanwinters]

Curious if it might be inspired by the new movie/movies.

[The Deadman]

I'm sure someone will take the time out to **** on it without even seeing a trailer.

[AquaParade]

Meh. Call me when Sonic starts taking lsd.

Considering Man of Action's involvment, this could turn out really good or really bad.

I think so far Sonic Boom is the best animated Sonic cartoon (https://miscrave.com/articles/sonic-boom/) to date. I hope it takes that route, sure it can be more serious but kept if fun.

^This! CN did this show dirty.

It's hard for me to get excited til we see dome footage so for now, it's whatever to me.

[CyberCubed]

Man they just make one new Sonic cartoon after another, don't they? Wasn't Sonic Boom not too long ago? And Sonic X in the early 2000's.

[Wildcat]

Really excited for this.

Never finished Sonic Boom. I had no problem with the designs or different continuity but I could not get into the sitcom format. Some episodes were good and I know it tried some other things so I do wanna go back and finish it.

However an action oriented cartoon fits Sonic way better. I don’t care if it’s 3D CGI or 2D. I’m sure it’ll look nice either way. Boom’s cgi looked good.

Man of Action’s Mega Man and Ben 10 seem to be the biggest comparisons at the moment. Never seen MM. People seem split. I keep meaning to check it out. I’ve only played MM2 NES though so I can’t speak for that franchise.

I have seen quite a bit of Ben 10. I honestly think any of those versions would work very well for Sonic. Plenty of action, an overall story and various villains.

Wildbrain owns SatAM apparently. It’d be awesome if Sega took this opportunity to revive the Freedom Fighters or at least Sally Acorn. Not as a continuation of SatAM. I mean reintroduce them for today. It’d be a safe way to try them out again without having to put them in a game.

Of course it’s just speculation. Sega can revive them anytime regardless but it’s an interesting tidbit.

It's gonna be bad, isn't it?

Official title: Sonic Prime

I miss Sonic sm. :tlove:

[ZariusTwo]

Description:



The 24-episode animated adventure for kids, families, and long-time fans draws upon the keystones of the brand and features the “Blue Blur” of video game fame in a high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands. Sonic’s adventure is about more than a race to save the universe, it’s a journey of self-discovery and redemption.

Hey look, right on cue. You were wrong about the movie being bad, so why are you still trolling?

I wonder who the voice of Sonic it will be? I hope its Ben Schwartz.

Interesting premise, at least.

Could be good as long as it doesn't turn out to be Mega Man: Fully Charged 2.0. But given Man of Action's involvement, I'm setting my expectations low.

.....redemption of what??

[Wildcat]

My hype shot way up for this. As I mentioned in my previous post...now it really seems like the Freedom Fighters/SatAm universe could be part of this. In someway at least.

I know it’s not confirmed but Im just saying they own the rights to it (and Adventures of), it’s based on the multiverse and it’s basically a 30th Anniversary cartoon. I’m not the only one speculating this either.

This could be Turtles Forever but with Sonic. A whole season of it. So much to barrow from. I hope that’s the direction they’re going.

Where did you get that idea from?

[Wildcat]

Where did you get that idea from?I explained it on page 1 of this topic. WildBrain is the company the DiC cartoons are under.

Now they announce Prime is about a Multiverse.

[Shark_Blade]

Sonic multiverse?? Take me now!!!

Hope that’s true. :D

Sonic Prime to take place in Sonic Team's video game universe, SEGA crossovers not ruled out

http://segabits.com/blog/2021/02/02/sonic-prime-to-take-place-in-sonic-teams-video-game-universe-sega-crossovers-not-ruled-out/

So we’re gonna see The Babylon Rogues again??? :tlove:

[sdp]

So they are doing a Sonic multiverse, then it has to include the original 90s show (https://miscrave.com/articles/sonic-animated-continuity/)? Since the three 90s shows are all in continuity.

[Wildcat]

So far they’ve only mentioned the Sega world. Not necessarily the cartoons. Even though Sega does own them I assume.

It’s hard not to speculate given everything but if they’re just using the games and whatever the new stuff is it should still make for a good show.

Even something like Epic Mickey would be really cool. Sonic having to restore alternate dimensions. Coincidentally one of Sonic’s early designs was a bunny.

The new stuff will probably be the focus but I cannot help but think of what they might use from the past. The games have plenty to choose from.

[Coola Yagami]

Eh, we'll see if they're that smart. A lot of times companies do something that the fans assume they will because it makes the most sense but then the company comes out with the exact opposite because 'that's what you kids want nowadays, right?'

I mean in the games they already separated Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic into two realities (I think it was in Sonic Forces) even when they were supposed to be past and present, and then we have Sonic Boom. Plus you know cartoons, they're gonna made up stuff too like CyberPunk Sonic, Prehistoric Sonic and whatever else.

I much sooner assume we're gonna see 'prime Sonic' meet 'Boom' Sonic before we see Princess Sally, Scratch and Grounder again. But hey I won't complain if they have the balls to do it.

[sdp]

I have a feeling this show will be directly linked to whatever the new game is supposed to be and Sega wants to have everything "in line". So they'll form a classic and modern universe so it works for them in future games since right now it's kind of messy after Sonic Forces.

They're also replacing all the voice actors with new roles so everything is "in line". Sega has always done this, they replaced all the voice actors with the Sonic X VAs so it'd be the same voice everywhere and later did it again when they didn't want "one voice" for sonic about ten years ago. So they're starting it again and want everything making sense. Which this last paragraph doesn't re-reading it.

[ZariusTwo]

Your headcanon doesn't count

sdp got burned, lol. sdp, your website looks like it's from 2002. :lol:

These days people just post articles on twitter.

[Wildcat]

Sally is who I primarily want too. If they acknowledge SatAm but only Sally appears I’ll still be happy. She was the main character after Sonic anyway.

Some have said they won’t use the old cartoons because it’s cgi but they can easily make them a 2D universe like Nick did with FW. 3D cgi Sally would amazing but technically not necessary.

My biggest fear is they do acknowledge SatAm but only as stock footage like Turtles Forever did with the multiverse sequence. It was ok in a 1 time movie but Sonic Prime is getting 24 episodes. Maybe more.

I’m sure Sega and the show creators are aware of what’s being discussed so I’m glad SatAm is getting attention. Even if they don’t use it.

[Leo656]

Wakka wakka, in 28 years I doubt anyone has ever made that joke about her before, not even once. :lol:

Also, she's technically half-chipmunk. :trazz: Why it matters, I don't know. But they make mention of it, so I'm sure it's important somehow.

Generally written as a much more interesting (and competent) character than Sonic in the cartoons and comics, too.

By Season 2, that show was more or less "The Adventures Of Princess Sally and Her Stupid Idiot Sidekick Who She Only Tolerates Because He's Occasionally Useful And Also Because He Gives Her A Lady-Boner (It's Mostly That And Less The First Thing - He's Only Useful by Accident And 'Occasionally' Is Pushing It)." :lol:

That title would be way too long.... but completely accurate. :trazz: She did all the work, all Sonic did was crack wise and blow plans to hell thanks to his impatience. Things generally worked out in the end, but... that was like 20% Him and 80% Her, if we're really being honest about it.

It's important to the fans that want to stuff her cheeks with some nut.

Yeah the older I get the more I realize TV almost always shows the woman as the smart one while the boyfriend/husband/potential suitor (which I think Sonic sorta falls in) is the idiot, or at least the one with least common sense. I think in Sonic's case it's kinda worse cause HIS name is on the show and it's based on HIS game where Sally doesn't even exist.

Like nothing would get a show cancelled (both real-life cancelled and social media witch hunt cancelled) faster if we saw a male and female duo where the guy is the Brain and the woman is Pinky. That's pretty much why they almost recreated Harley's character in modern media because she originally was the 'dumb bimbo sidekick' to Joker's plans in 'The Animated Series' so naturally now they gotta make her smarter and 'need no man' 'girl power' etc.

Though it's tough for me to talk, I'm not exactly the smartest and most relationships I ever been in, I'm the one with all the antics and mischief. But I mean, that can't be everyone right? There's gotta be some relationships out there where the guy is 'the smart one' and in the lead, right?

That's a really cool image WildCAT, I don't get the last two either. It's def. not rouge. I'm not familiar with archie or the UK comic but perhaps from one of the lesser known spin-off games like Chronicles?

Yeah I definitely don't think they'll be touching on any previous cartoon, perhaps Sonic Boom if we're lucky. It'll deal with mostly classic and modern sonic and making something that makes sense with both of them and perhaps the movie Sonic.

Your headcanon doesn't count

Fitting Underground definitely involves a lot effort to make it work in headcanon but Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and SatAM basically had a movie that linked both together Sonic Christmas Blast VHS special. I mean you have Robotropolis, Sally, an early version of SwatBOTS. It was meant to link them together.

I still remember that one episode of SATAM where it actually was about Sonic and Tails (and as a kid when Tails was surprised Sonic choose him I wanted to scream 'OF COURSE HE CHOSE YOU, YOU'RE ACTUALLY IN THE GAME INSTEAD OF ALL THESE OTHER MADE-UP NOBODIES"). In that episode not only were the Swat Bots grey/white like they were in the Archie comics, but they borrowed a few tunes from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

That was the SatAM pilot "Heads or Tails"

[AquaParade]

Shoes and gloves look bad, but I sort of the like rest of it. Reminds me of SaTam.

If I were tasked with spicing up Sonic's design, I'd just go classic but throw him some cool goggles. Like, if I had to put my stamp on it. Goggles makes sense to me, for a character like Sonic, and it wouldn't infringe on his design too much. He could easily pull them down around his neck as well for a variant look.

[Wildcat]

The shoes and gloves are clearly a story element. Probably used to travel to other universes.

No indication of SatAm or Adventures of Sonic cartoons but I’m sure they’d wait to reveal them if they’re included. Looks really good though. CGI must be nice.

People liked the Sonic Boom cartoon. All that matters.

[sdp]

The new show should be different but Sonic Boom was awesome (https://miscrave.com/articles/sonic-boom/), it was basically a show where each episode the writers wrote self aware jokes about the sonic franchise and fandom.

I missed the news of the concept art, I love the new gloves and shoes, IMO sonic was the coolest when he had the SOAP shoes in Sonic Adventure 2, then again I was also 13. I don't like that he looks too much like modern sonic, wish they moved away from that look. The red sky and building does imply a setting similar to DIC SATAM Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. (https://miscrave.com/articles/sonic-cartoon-trilogy/) I've never read Archie but even if Ian Flynn was the "good writer" in general Archie Sonic just rubs me the wrong way and what Sonic shouldn't be so not sure if it's a good idea.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I watched five episodes and so far, it's just okay. The animation, the visuals, character models, and the voice acting are great but it loves to retread flashbacks which ruins the pacing and the humor is pretty weak.

I hope the show gets better because I'm not feeling it.
