The Blue Blur is back! This week, fans of videogame icon Sonic the Hedgehog will get to tag along in his all-new adventures when Sonic Prime arrives on Netflix. The new CG series from executive producers SEGA, WildBrain, Man of Action and Erik Wiese (Victor and Valentino, The Mighty B!) drops Thursday, December 15 with a 40-minute special and seven 20-minute episodes.
Ahead of the premiere, Animation Magazine is racing to share several exclusive new stills from the show with our readers! The images give an early look at Sonic, his friends and foes in a new, seafaring corner of the Shatterverse…
Synopsis: It’s the Sonic you know and love until an incredible twist thrusts Sonic into a new adventure featuring a reinvented cast and Sonic like you’ve never seen him before, where the fate of the multiverse rests in his gloved hands. Sonic’s adventure is about more than a race to save the universe from the evil machinations of his longtime nemesis Dr. Eggman and his army of badnik robots, it’s a race to save his friends, friends that he took for granted.
The series features the voices of Deven Mack as Sonic, Brian Drummond as Eggman, Ashleigh Ball as Tails, Shannon Chan-Kent as Amy Rose, Adam Nurada as Knuckles the Echidna, Kazumi Evans as Rouge the Bat and Ian Hanlin as Shadow / Big the Cat.
Sonic Prime is a production of SEGA, WildBrain and Marza, with animation by WildBrain.
