First Episode of Sonic & Friends Hits YouTube

[GX -The Spindash-]

Among the the many, many... MANY new Sonic projects launching last year was Sonic & Friends, a short-form CG series based on the series' chibi style that SEGA made available on their Japanese TikTok account. This morning, SEGA's official Japanese Sonic YouTube has compiled the four episodes into a single portrait-oriented short.

The brief cartoon follows Sonic, Tails, and Amy (yet no Knuckles despite the thumbnail) as their beach-side picnic is disrupted by Dr. Eggman's mischief. The whole thing is profoundly low-stakes and certainly aimed at the youngest of audiences, but if you want to see some cute art and a decent Palmtree Panic remix, you no longer need TikTok to check it out. Whether there will be other episodes... who's to say? For now, they've still got plenty of 10-second dance videos.

Ah...that's better.

Hmm, characterization is solid and seems fateful to the material. Story arcs are a bit predictable, but bold character development and subtle themes make up for it. I give it "have fun kiddos" out of ten.

Seriously though, harmless cute stuff. But the fact those were technically FOUR EPISODES makes me wanna shake my old man's cane.

I did enjoy and like this. More please!

And the remix of Palmtree Panic (Good future) EU/JP at the end!??? Superb!!!

The video is so cute! I want to see more (and post it on the English Sonic YouTube channel!)

Cute, but ultimately it's just not for me. Glad there is love for it, but I'm not really into short-form content.

[Maple Syrup]

Thats adorable! Thanks for sharing! I would love a game with those little guys!

Canon.

It's been freed

Cute, but that’s about it for me. I know it’s the style, but I think Eggman’s head is a bit too big haha A fun watch, nevertheless!

[Aroon]

Really cool animated short I’ve have ever see it to had great scenario parts behind including the relaxation music onto!

[NightFire]

Cute and it’s nice that they are making this kind of small things, although I wish they were a bit longer; But I understand and don’t want the animators to be overworked.  I hope they can bring in some other characters like Fang/Knack or Trip.

I wish they also made Sonic & Friends merchandise, I would buy it without a doubt, it's so cute

[ChaosCTRL]

It’s so cute and silly. I want to hug them. 

Palmtree Panic’s theme always makes me happy

OMG!!! I really love "Sonic & Friends". I saw the first episode and I love it.

[Trevor Culleton]

Awesome. I downloaded the video off Youtube just today. I can't wait to show that to my niece Brooklyn. She's only two years old, but I'm sure she; kk be coming to like Sonic. I already had her played with Sonic plushies as an infant.

[Iko]

I expected worse honestly... it's simple but cute, it's nice actually...

[Rabbitearsblog]

I took the chance and watched it and I actually really enjoyed it!  It's so cute and I loved how they remixed Palmtree Panic in the theme song!  I'm actually looking forward to seeing more episodes!

It's about time! I'm kinda getting tired with the exclusitivity SEGA is doing rn
