#SEGAnews Sonic the Hedgehog 3 | A Very Sonic Christmas (2024 Movie)

Wait, what is this???

Oh man, what is this...this random surprise!! Sega or Paramount didn't make an entire Christmas Special. But the latest teaser/ad is a fun parody of it:

Aw, this was adorable! And super fun! Very nice little Christmas surprise!

#SEGAnews Sonic the Hedgehog 3 | Official Trailer 2 (2024 Movie) Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves

 Here is the trailer for the only upcoming movie I'm currently looking forward. That's right. There. I said it.

HERE WE GO BOIS AND GURLS!!

#SEGAnews SONIC 3 & Knuckles - Trailers

I gotta admit, I just wanted to write this title for this post.

We made it, SEGA bros, a reveal trailer for a 3rd live action Sonic movie.. followed closely by the first proper for a Knuckles spinoff series.

Let's see...

 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 | Title Treatment Reveal (2024 Movie) 

This looks nice. Pretty nice indeed. It's just a tease, but this better confirm we will finally get a Crush40 song in a Sonic movie!!!

I'd like to see them make the characters slightly older, like when the games went from classic era->Sonic Adventure era. I'm still not convinced skipping SA1 was a good choice, even presenting both stories in reverse order seems odd. Sonic is like a shonen manga, there's an escalation in the level of threats and power-ups. Perfect Chaos goes before Shadow and the Biolizard, based on researches on the Echidnas.... and... Wait and see..

  Knuckles Series | Official Trailer | Paramount+ 

Our boy Knux is here! For a long while I hoped it would have been a sort of Archie Comics-style adaptation of Chaotix or Sonic Adventure.. but instead feels more like a filler episode. You know what? This would have been a nice way to introduce Tikal, the Echidnas, Amy or Rouge... Like before, wait and see...

And that's it for now.

#SEGAnews Knux Spinoff is go!

 So apparently the Knuckles spinoff for Paramount+ just started production.

Thoughts?

Wait and see...

I like these "live action" Sonic films well enough, but after stuff like the new Mario Bros. Movie, I kinda want to see them reboot Sonic as a pure CGi animated film as well, humans in the plot or not. Think  cutscenes from the Sega games. 

Oh, and slightly base it off the IDW comics for some nice exploration and characterisation.
(Sorry SATAM and Archie fans, but I'm not asking for an adaptation of the French comics, the UK comics or the manga, so let's go with a broader appeal closer to the games - and avoid a certain Ken P. as well..)
