TV Sonic Boom - New Sonic TV Show Announced

[advfox 698]

"Sonic the Hedgehog, the iconic video game character who has brought his trademark speed and attitude to four TV series and more than 70 video games, is returning to television in his first-ever CG animated series in the fall 2014. The action packed comedy series aimed at children 6-11 will debut first on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France, with a global rollout to follow. The initial order of 52 eleven-minute episodes is co-produced by SEGA of America Inc. and Genao Productions.

Sonic Boom is a character-driven comedy that leaves a trail of robot wreckage in its smoldering wake. The series centers on Sonic, his best friend and sidekick, Tails, their never-ending search for adventure, and their battles with Sonic’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Rounding out the ensemble are fan favorites Knuckles and Amy Rose, plus a rogue’s gallery of enemies—some familiar to Sonic fans and some brand-new.

Evan Baily, Donna Friedman Meir, and Jane McGregor, Executive Producers for SEGA, packaged the series, bringing together SEGA, Cartoon Network, and Genao Productions. Sandrine Nguyen and Boris Hertzog, Executive Producers for Genao, assembled a world-class lineup of partners in France, including broadcasters GULLI and CANAL J, Lagardere Entertainment Rights and Lagardère Active TV Licensing & New Business. Baily, Meir and Nguyen developed the series, and Hertzog and McGregor structured the financing and negotiated all the deals. Baily (formerly EVP of Production and Creative Affairs for Classic Media) and Co-Executive Producer Bill Freiberger (The Simpsons, Drawn Together) are showrunners. Takashi Iizuka, the head of Sonic Team and driving creative force behind the Sonic games, is overseeing the series to ensure that it’s true to the Sonic characters and universe."

This is the best news I've heard in ages. I was shocked about this more than Kingdom Hearts III O.o

Knuckles.

 

Has.

 

FINGEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

Eh, I hate him anyway. I can't wait!

[Revolart 431]

Wth is with Knuckles , he looks kinda buffed up and tall.Seems like they will be wearing some sort of clothes as well.

[Geotrix 862]

Looks like Knuckles was true to his Sonic Adventure rap. He really did flex his muscles after all.

[Kevin_Keyblade 203]

Even Sonic looks weird

this is a another stupid sonic x isnt it

[Shulk 8,623]

Something tells me this will turn out just like Xiaolin Chronicles did... A seemingly promising revival of an old TV show (Ok, so Sonic games are still made, but the tv shows ended ages ago), might get a ton of hype, then ends up sucking...

this is a another stupid sonic x isnt it

No, it isn't. There won't even be a consistent story. 

[Crisp Cucumber 229]

The silhouettes look... interesting... Hope this'll be a good show. ^_^

[Kaneki Ken 1,516]

Well, since there is no consistent story, might as well watch the show for laughs or some sort. Sides, a CG style Sonic cartoon? I probably should check into this.

[Varnish 319]

What is wrong with Knuckles? This is traumatising to me!

[Hero of Winds 2,576]

This doesn't look/sound nearly half as interesting as Sonic Underground and Sonic X, which I enjoyed both.
