Sonic Chronicles: Sticks

Sonic Chronicles: Sticks is a 2034 animated adventure film directed by Matt Braly and written by Ian Flynn and Braly. Based on the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame franchise, the film is a co-production between Paramount Animation, Sega Sammy Corporation, Marza Animation Planet, and Blur Studio. The film stars the voices of Jessica DiCicco, Roger Craig Smith, Colleen O'Shaugnessey, Mike Polloc, Travis Willingham, and Cindy Robinson. Hans Zimmer composed the film's score.
Development on an animated Sonic the Hedgehog film would begin in early 2030 at Paramount Animatiom, with Jeff Fowler and Tim Miller returning from Paramount's live-action films as executive-producers. The plan was for the animated film to be set in a different continuity than the live-action films, and feature a more game-accurate potrayal of Sonic lore. Braly, a lifelong Sonic fan, was hired as director and co-writer in early 2031, with the cast being announced later that year. The producers drew inspiration from films such as Kung Fu Panda and Rango, seeking to create a dramedy and a character study for Sticks; the writers also consulted with psychiatrists on paranoid disorders and technophobia. Animation services would be provided by Studio Mir., as the filmmakers felt a hand-drawn animation style would be best suited for Sonic.
