Animation: 'Sonic Boom' first look
Posted by Fred Patten on Wed 19 Mar 2014 - 14:11 — Edited by GreenReaper
Jerry Beck’s Animation Scoop has a first look at SEGA’s and OuiDO! Productions’ Sonic Boom CGI TV series, coming to the Cartoon Network (also French TV) later this year.
Sonic the Hedgehog is best-known as a SEGA computer game series, but this announcement – with a 2’50” trailer – shows what Sonic, Tails, and Dr. Eggman look like as fully animated CG characters.

awesome!!!
What's interesting to me is that they're kind of shifting characterization of Sonic closer to the old days, but still maintaining where they are at the same time. It's sort of a hybrid of sass and attitude pre-adventure era Sonic with the good nature and a bit more serious nature of the post-adventure era Sonic. This sort of mix I noticed in Sonic Colors cutscenes as well. I really do like that particular direction and hope it gets fleshed out more.
I mean the Sonic and Tails dynamic of sassing each other in Sonic Colors I really liked, and I think attests to the growth of Tails as a character who now doesn't hero worship Sonic (ala "I wanna fly") but instead has grown into a kind of a peer who can be just as quick on the feet and whit while maintaining his own identity. I do like the new style giving them their own aesthetics.
(As a side note And the VG Cat's reaction to these aesthetics was probably their funniest comic I've seen in awhile, especially how Scott jibe's himself at the end.)
