Sonic Boom (TV series)

For other subjects with the same name, see Sonic Boom (disambiguation).

Sonic Boom, known as Sonic Toon (ソニックトゥーン) in Japan, is an American-French CGI-animated television series developed by Sega of America in collaboration with OuiDo! Productions, based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise created by Sega. Sonic Boom is the fifth animated television series based on the Sonic franchise, the second developed by SEGA following Sonic X (plus the second series co-produced in France following Sonic Underground) and the first ever television series in the franchise to be produced in computer-generated animation and in high definition.

The series premiered on 8 November 2014 in the United States on Cartoon Network and released on November 19 in France on Canal J. The show launched in Spring 2015 on the French children's network Gulli, and was followed by an international launch on other countries. The series is a part of the Sonic Boom spin-off franchise, which consists also of three video games, a comic book series and a toyline.

The series is aimed at children, teenagers and adults, and centers around Sonic and his friends Tails, Amy, Knuckles and Sticks, and their never ending search for adventure and their battles with their arch nemesis Doctor Eggman. Other characters, both new and old, also join the ensemble.

The series was announced to be available for streaming off Hulu by the end of May 2016 and has been since 18 May. Due to Hulu being a US exclusive service and Sonic Boom being currently exclusive to Hulu, the series has been made available for streaming outside of the US on Netflix as of 23 December 2016. On 19 November 2017, the second season of the show was added to Hulu.

Production
The Sonic Boom animated series was designed as a spin-off from the main Sonic continuity so the staff could take the characters and their world in directions the main series could not. It was first announced in October 2013, revealing a teaser image featuring the show's four main protagonists, Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles, in silhouette form. The series, which originally consisted of 52 episodes with eleven minutes of running time each, is co-produced by Sega of America Inc. and OuiDo! Productions and was developed by Evan Baily, Donna Friedman Mier, and Sandrine Nguyen, with Baily and Bill Freiberger as showrunners, under the supervision of Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka to ensure that it was true to the Sonic characters and universe. Mike Banker also assisted with writing the television series. On 6 February 2014, Sega revealed the first trailer for the series, showcasing the new designs for the characters.

Many of the current voice actors for the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series returned to voice the characters of the series, including Roger Craig Smith as Sonic, Travis Willingham as Knuckles, Cindy Robinson as Amy, and Mike Pollock as Dr. Eggman, while voice actress Colleen Villard succeeded Kate Higgins in the role of Tails. The series also introduced a new character named Sticks the Badger, a crazy and paranoid hunter who has been living alone in the wilderness for many years before meeting Sonic and his friends, who is voiced by Nika Futterman. In an interview with Polygon, Iizuka stated the series came about as a desire to appeal more to Western territories, following the 2003 Japanese anime series Sonic X, with Iizuka also stating that the franchise will run in parallel with the 'Modern' series of Sonic the Hedgehog games. Baily has stated the series is a mixture of action and comedy, featuring an episodic structure. On 4 October 2014, Sega announced the air date of the series in the United States to be 8 November 2014.

On 19 February 2015, Cartoon Network announced in a press statement that Sonic Boom, along with ten other shows, will return for the 2015-2016 TV season. This was subsequently confirmed by executive producer Bill Freiberger in a fan commentary to not be an indicator of a renewal or second season at this time. However, on 10 October 2015, Lagardère Entertainment Rights announced that a second season is currently in production. The final animatic of the second season was edited on 27 November 2016. Like season one, season two will include 52 episodes of eleven minutes length each. At Tomy’s Toy Fair in New York, the second season was given an official premiere on Cartoon Network in Fall 2016.

Jordi Valbuena would return for season two as the series' storyboard artist, like in season one. At Sonic Revolution 2016, Bill Freiberger announced that "if there is a season two," there would be both new and old characters (like T.W. Barker, the Stunt Bears and D.B. Platypus ) and other surprises from other areas of Sonic. It was later confirmed that Shadow and "more characters from the Sonic game universe" would make an appearance in season two.

Sega itself officially pulled back the curtain on the second season at the Sonic 25th Anniversary party in San Diego with a sneak peek of "Spacemageddonocalypse". Later, the video game Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice would feature sneak peaks on concept art revealing characters, storylines and subjects to be introduced in season two. Following the premiere of "Tommy Thunder: Method Actor" on Cartoon Network, it was announced on 10 November 2016, that the remainder of season two will air on Boomerang to make the channel more desirable On 9 February 2017, Lagardere Studios Distribution signed pre-sales to more than ninety countries around the world to air the second season of the show.

On 17 December 2016, storyboard artist Clemence Liberge stated on Facebook that there will be a third season for Sonic Boom. This has yet to be officially confirmed. A Japanese dub of the series was announced to premiere on Netflix on 1 July 2017.

On 10 September 2017, Bill Freiberger announced on his Twitter account that he will no longer be involved with the series following the conclusion of season two.

Plot
Sonic Boom is set in a wide-open world on Seaside Island, where most of the characters live in and around Hedgehog Village. This vast landscape is filled with jungles, mountains, undersea civilizations, cloud cities and all kinds of other environments. Residing on this island are Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends: Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, and Sticks the Badger. The gang spend their days trying to ward off the evil (and often zany) plans of Dr. Eggman, who is bent on taking over the island and subsequently the world. In this ensemble of a comedy that pokes fun at action-adventure storytelling, Sonic faces regular battles with Eggman’s henchmen, including loyal robots Orbot and Cubot, evil interns, and giant, robotic monsters.

Cast and characters
The cast for Sonic Boom was confirmed by Sega on 25 February 2014. Jack Fletcher works as the voice director. On 29 May 2014, Sega announced that Nika Futterman will play the role of Sticks, a jungle badger, who joined the franchise as a major character. Several new characters were also created for Sonic Boom, such as Mayor Fink, Fastidious Beaver, and Perci.

Main

 * Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) – The protagonist of Sonic Boom and the leader of Team Sonic, Sonic is a fifteen-year-old blue hedgehog with the ability to run at supersonic speeds. While having a good heart and good intentions and is very benevolent, Sonic can be shortsighted of others' feelings and be rather impatient. He also enjoys his status as a hero and dislikes competition. Unlike most incarnations, this version of Sonic has blue-furred arms and wears a brown neckerchief around his neck and athletic sports tape on his wrists and shoes.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by Colleen Villard) – An eight-year-old yellow fox cub, Tails is Sonic's sidekick. Sporting two tails, Tails is able to use them to achieve flight like a helicopter. He wears goggles and a tool belt, and serves as Team Sonic's mechanic, pilot, and technology expert. Confident in his abilities, Tails spends much of his time tinkering with inventions meant to make life easier, although they do not always turn out as expected. He maintains the same overall personality as his game counterpart, though he can be blunter and more openly skeptical.
 * Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Travis Willingham) – A sixteen-year-old red echidna from Angel Island and the last of his kind. He serves as the muscle of Team Sonic, capable of smashing boulders and asteroids to pieces with a single punch. Whereas other versions of Knuckles have a history of being gullible, this version of Knuckles is dimwitted, clueless and often annoys his teammates with his low wit. However, he is very loyal and loves nature. Out of everyone on Team Sonic, Knuckles received the most drastic redesign for the series: Knuckles is considerably taller than most versions of the character, appears more muscular, and wears sports tape around his hands as opposed to spiked boxing gloves.
 * Amy Rose (voiced by Cindy Robinson) – A twelve-year-old pink female hedgehog, Amy is the peppiest member of Team Sonic and Sticks' best friend. She serves as the team's organizer and archeologist, and wields a giant hammer, which is her most prized possession, in battle. Amy has a crush on Sonic, but is cautious and shy about admitting it, unlike other versions of her. This has not stopped other characters from pointing her attraction to Sonic however. She is more emotionally mature than her friends, often offering common sense when the rest of the team gets carried away. Her design is overall the same, except for her clothes, which are now more adventure-orientated.
 * Sticks the Badger (voiced by Nika Futterman ) – An orange and brown free-spirited badger that comes from the jungle. She is Amy's best friend. She is an efficient combatant and is skilled in the usage of boomerangs and other weapons of her own design. Sticks is a paranoid individual of wild habits, who enjoys digging through garbage and looking at shiny objects. While she may at times seem off-kilted, obtuse, mental and just plain nutty, her madness often proves correct and will occasionally stray into genius, allowing her to find solutions that no one else could have thought of.
 * Dr. Eggman (voiced by Mike Pollock) – A middle-aged, mad human scientist who is the nemesis of Sonic, his team and the inhabitants of Seaside Island. He resides in a lair off the island's coast. In this series, Eggman is typically rather buffoonish, with his schemes usually being more zany rather than threatening. At times, he even appears to be on friendly terms with the heroes, though this usually leads to some scheme in which he tries to defeat them. His ambitions are to conquer Seaside Island (so he can built his own evil theme park) and the world.
 * Orbot (voiced by Kirk Thornton ) – Eggman's red orb-shaped service robot. He is the wiser, blunter, more formal of him and Cubot, often being honest with Eggman at the expense of the latter. He is also the final unit in the Orbot Series.
 * Cubot (voiced by Wally Wingert) – Eggman's yellow cube-shaped service robot. He is the slower, more dimwitted of him and Orbot, which usually leads to him misunderstanding the meaning of other characters' statements. He is also the final unit in the discontinued Cubot Series.

Trivia

 * This is the first Sonic the Hedgehog television series to have fully computer-generated (CG) animation.
 * The intro sequence for the show in the United States is actually a shortened version of the actual intro sequence. This full intro sequence is used in France. According to Bill Freiberger, this is because the two countries' channels (Cartoon Network and Gulli respectively) have different delivery requirements.
 * The intro shows all the main characters in order of appearance with Sonic being first, then Tails, Amy, Knuckles and finally Sticks.
 * The order of appearance for each character could probably be based on their respective debut in the main series, with Sonic being the first (1991), Tails being the second (1992), Amy the third (1993), Knuckles the fourth (1994), and Sticks the last (2014).
 * Although it has been confirmed that OuiDO! is doing the production for the show, the first reveal of the show credited the company's original name, Genao Productions.

 * The staff does not use locations from the Sonic games as more than references or dialogue jokes in the TV series.
 * When creating characters for the show, the writers do not tend to specify the characters' species unless it is motivated by the story. Instead, they leave the animation team to decide the design.
