The Escapades of Sonic the Hedgehog

The Escapades of Sonic the Hedgehog (French: Les Escapades de Sonic l'hérisson) is an upcoming Canadian-American animated action-adventure comedy direct-to-video film produced by Paramount Animation, Sega, Neko Productions, and Mikros Image. The film serves as a continuation of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 &amp; Knuckles, picking up shortly after the conclusion of the game is set in the main timeline of Sonic games.

Animation
The film started production in late 2020, with Tyson Hesse serving as the art director for the film. The film was produced at Neko Productions in Burbank, California in conjunction with Mikros Image in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Some backgrounds, aesthetics, and framework were handled by Iloura VFX in Melbourne, Australia.

Voice cast
Jaleel White, who voiced had originally voiced Sonic in the three cartoons produced by DIC Entertainment in the 1990s, reprises his role as the title character. Mike Pollock, the current voice of Dr. Eggman, also reprises his role of the main antagonist.

Christopher Welch, who had originally voiced Tails in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, returns to voice Sonic's protégé. However, the voice Welch provides for Tails is improvised with computer manipulation accompanied by pitch shifting. To achieve the effect of Tails' voice, Welch used the same technique as he did when he voiced Tails in his youth, while adding a childlike inflection. The recorded audio is then edited with Pro Tools, and the sync is altered and sped up about 3-4 semitones to make the voice sound exactly as it did in AOSTH.

Brian Drummond also voices Knuckles the Echidna in the film.

Garry Chalk and Phil Hayes, who had originally voiced Grounder and Scratch respectively, return to voice two new robot master created by Dr. Robotnik.
