The series has received mixed reviews,[3][4] although the series has spawned several internet memes and is a major source in YouTube poop material.[5]

Three years after the series completed its original run, a Christmas special titled Sonic Christmas Blast aired on USA Network on November 24, 1996;[6] the special was originally intended to tie-in with Sonic X-treme, and was produced under the title X-tremely Sonic Christmas;[7] however, its cancellation resulted in the special being rebranded as a tie-in to Sonic 3D Blast.

Main article: Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series)

The second of DiC's Sonic cartoons, Sonic the Hedgehog (more commonly known as Sonic SatAM)[8] aired from September 18, 1993, to December 3, 1994, lasting two 13 episode seasons;[9] considered one of the darker incarnations of Sonic, SatAM takes place in a time where Robotnik successfully took over Mobius, with Sonic and a team called the Freedom Fighters attempting to take back the planet.

Originally intended to last three seasons, Sonic the Hedgehog was cancelled after its second season, which left the show on a cliffhanger where Ixis Naugus would become the new antagonist; since its release, the series has become a cult classic,[10] inspiring a video game titled Sonic Spinball and the Archie Comics series.[11]

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (1996)

[edit]

The OVA was met with mixed reception; much of the criticism came from the English dub, which many saw as subpar.[14][15]

Sonic Underground (1999)

[edit]
Main article: Sonic Underground

The third and final DiC Sonic cartoon,[16] Sonic Underground[d] aired in 1999 and lasted only one season with 40 episodes;[17] the series takes inspiration from the SatAM series, where a princess hedgehog Queen Aleena gives birth to three hedgehogs, Sonic, Sonia and Manic, on the same day as Robotnik's take over of Mobotropolis; Aleena separates her three children, who years later join a rebellion to take back the planet; every episode of the show includes a musical number near the end.[18] The series was commissioned as a way to promote the Dreamcast.[8][19]

Unlike the previous two series, Sonic Underground has been met with a generally negative reception from media critics for its confusing plot, although praise has been given to the series' musical numbers.[20][21][22] Originally, a conclusion for the series was planned to be included in issue #50 of the Sonic Universe comic; however, it was later replaced due to license issues.[23]

Sonic X (2003–2005)

[edit]
Main article: Sonic X

Sonic X[e] is a Japanese anime created by TMS Entertainment under a partnership with Sega and Sonic Team.[24] In the series, after an infiltration into Eggman's base goes wrong, Sonic and his friends are transported to a parallel world inhabited by humans where they met a 12-year-old boy named Christopher Thorndyke, who helps Sonic along with his friends to take on Eggman continuously while trying to retrieve all seven Chaos Emeralds so that they would return home.

Internationally, Sonic X was dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment and ran from September 6, 2003, to March 26, 2005; although the series suffered from low ratings in Japan, it was large success internationally, with 4Kids commissioning a third season of 26 episodes; season three, dubbed "The Metarex Saga" sees Sonic and his friends including Chris, and a new character introduced in the third season, a plant-like creature named Cosmo, traveling across planets to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds in order to stop an alien race called the Metarex. Season three was never released on DVD in Japan, nor was aired on television over there until 2020,[27] although it was later made available via streaming services.[24]

The series has received generally average reviews from critics, although the English dub was heavily criticised for its censorship and English voice acting.[24][28] The voice actors who participated in the English dub would later become the voice actors for the games from Shadow the Hedgehog to Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.[29][30]

Main article: Knuckles (TV series)

In February 2022, ViacomCBS (later renamed Paramount Global) announced that a television series centered around Knuckles the Echidna and taking place in the film universe is in development, with it set for release in 2023 on Paramount+.[49] On April 17, 2023, Jeff Fowler posted a teaser image on his Twitter confirming that filming had begun and that he was director of the pilot. Later that day, members of the cast and the plot synopsis were revealed. The series will take place after the events of the film Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) and before the events of the film Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024). The series will show Knuckles training Wade Whipple to become his protégé and teaching him the ways of an echidna warrior.

Idris Elba reprises his role as the voice of Knuckles for the series, while Adam Pally and Tika Sumpter reprise their roles as Wade Whipple and Maddie Wachowski for the series. Edi Patterson, Julian Barratt, Kid Cudi, Ellie Taylor, Rory McCann, Cary Elwes, Stockard Channing, Christopher Lloyd, Paul Scheer, and Rob Huebel also appear as new roles.

This series consisted of 6 episodes[citation needed] and premiered on April 26, 2024[1] with Jeff Fowler directing the pilot episode.

Films

[edit]

Attempts had been made as early as 1993 to get Sonic made into a film; the first of these was Sonic the Hedgehog: Wonders of the World, which was pitched to MGM in August 1994 and had Sonic coming into the real world of a kid named Josh, and fighting Eggman (Robotnik). The film would've tied-in to the cancelled Sega Saturn game Sonic X-treme, and despite a positive internal reception, MGM would drop the project without warning. Writer Richard Jefferies suggests the film was dropped due to creative differences between Sega and Trilogy Entertainment Group, who were also producing the film.[50]

Ben Hurst had also attempted to make Sonic the Hedgehog into a film, this time based on the aforementioned SatAM series; the project was dismissed after former comic series writer Ken Penders allegedly told a Sega representative that Hurst was attempting to "co-opt" the franchise.[51] Penders proposed his own film titled Sonic Armageddon in September 2003, which would have incorporated elements from SatAM and the Archie Comics series, but was itself dropped in 2007 due to massive corporate upheaval, and the death of Sega license manager Robert Leffler.[52] The original pitch video still exists, and was uploaded to YouTube in 2017.[53]
