Sonic the Hedghog heads to Cartoon Network
 

Looks like we're getting a new Sonic the Hedgehog series for Cartoon Network. Currently called Sonic Boom, it will be CGI, co produced by Sega and have at least 52 11 min episodes. It's expected to start airing in fall 2014.

Cool. Hope they get Urkel to voice him again.

After seeing the promo pic.... I'm not sure If I should be happy, or run away...

he wasn't really that good, he is only good for nostalgia purposes

Here's the promo pic TMNT Transformer is refering to:

All aboard the hype train!!!

Of course Sonic fans would already turn this project down based on that one photo that literally shows NOTHING!

Sega are working their asses off making great new games and CGI scenes that stay true to the Blue Blur's legacy and they just get sh!t on all the time. :(

Personally, I'm looking forward to this. Especially with the claim that it'll focus on comedy, though that may be because I always preferred AoStH and the earliest issues of Archie Sonic over the more serious stuff.

Sweet, can't wait! Hopefully it will be better than Sonic X

That would be awesome. :D



Cool!

I do hope it's good but seeing as it will probably be a show with two 11 minute segments, there probably won't be a huge amount of serious character development in the show.

Knuckles is my favorite character but with that photo I really worry about how he looks. He looks bigger and buffer and why does it look like he's not wearing gloves? (Or at least not ones over his fingers?)

It looks like he still has his gloves, I can still see a spike from his hand, just not his old ones. Maybe they got the idea from the Sonic fan film:

No, it literally shows something. Not that one should jump to conclusions, but saying it shows literally nothing is wrong.

On his left hand it looks like you can see each individual finger so I thought he either doesn't have gloves on or he does have a new type of glove on.

I'd be okay if it were like the Archie Comic so if he doesn't have gloves on, he still has natural knuckles protruding from his hands/knuckles. I love the Archie Comics so I'd be fine with that but I highly doubt it.

If they're pulling ideas from that piece of crap, this project is in DEEP trouble.

I hate to sound negative, but I agree. I don't think we should jump to conclusions, though. Why would this cartoon take any inspiration from a fan-film?

Everyone else assuming that's Knuckles in the promo pic? He looks pretty big.

That thing is clearly Knuckles... blah.

Edit: Anyone else notice any hidden faces in their shadows?

Wooo wooo!:tlol:
I'm excited, though I don't care for super beef cake Knuckles.

If anyone is gonna complain it would be me. I love Sonic. However Im not gonna complain. Everyone likes complaing about changes. If it wasn't Knuckles it would be over Sonic's apparent extra spikes.

Knuckles is the brute of the bunch so I dont care if hes bigger and really what kinda gloves he wears isnt a big deal. As long as they don't drastically change the characters look and personalities to be "hip" or something its fine. Its just for the cartoon anyway.

So disappointed its a year away. I thought it would be sooner.

Sonic Boom, eh?

Now that a new Sonic cartoon is coming out, why can't a new Super Mario Bros. cartoon get made, a new Legend Of Zelda cartoon get made, a new Mega Man cartoon get made, or a new Mega Man X Cartoon get made?

I wish we had a Sonic cartoon in this style. It's the only piece of animation that I think perfectly represents the world of the games.
