== Fun Facts and Trivia ==
* Some of the voice actors in this film consists of Cartoon voice actors and Anime voice actors, while a Liam Neeson, Jason Isaacs and Tilda Swinton (Who are celebrity voice actors) voiced Jules D'Hedgehog, King Acorn and Queen Acorn respectively.
* Drake Bell who has voiced Young Eraqus in Kingdom Hearts 3 was offered a role in this film, so he chose to voice Sonic because he finds him energetic and teenager-oriented.
* Ian Flynn, Ken Penders, Aleah Baker and Karl Bollers were invited to be involved in the film as writers and consultants due to them being writers in the past comic adaptions of Sonic by Archie. They agreed to be involved in the making and development of the film, while Ken Pender only agreed on one condition that one of his characters he created for the Archie Sonic comics will appear physically in the film while Jules will be either mentioned by name or his voice will only be heard. Despite this, Jules is mentioned twice in the film, and his voice has heard from a recorded message. Ken Pender didn't mind that, but was a little upset when the producers and directors came up with the idea Jules' voice was heard in the film while his name is mentioned twice.
* Due to Rainbow S.r.l.'s involvement in the show as well as Archie Comics' involvement, Cyber Group Studios' involvement and IDW Publishing's involvement, many rabbit background characters from The Bellflower Bunnies and the film Periwinkle Bellflower and Company: Rabbits of Beechflua along with the anthropomorphic animal background characters from the Archie Sonic Comics and IDW Sonic Comics appear. Ian Flynn, Kathleen Kennedy and Ken Pontac confirm that it requires a lot of money to borrow those characters for the TV show.
* For the premiere of the movie, Disney, Cyber Group Studios and Rainbow S.r.l. has a event at Disney's California Adventure, Epcot at Walt Disney World, and DisneySea at Tokyo Disneyland. The event was a festival featuring episodes from Sonic X, Sonic Boom, Winx Club, The Bellflower Bunnies and Stars Wars: The Clone Wars. There was also Walkarounds of Sonic, Tails, Sally, Mighty, Ray, Elias and Sticks.
* Although the appearance style of the characters is that of the Modern Sonic World cast, Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel appear but in the style of the Modern Sonic World cast. Despite this, the characters are also given a huge wardrobe change to be fully clothed, while still keeping the gloves as part of their outfits.
* Tracy Yardley and Ryan Jampole did character concept for Sonic, Sally, Mighty, Ray, Tails, Elias, Sticks, Dr Robotnik and several anthropomorphic animal background characters. Aaron Hammerstrom and Evan Stanley did character concept for Whisper, Shurego, Paige, Faronio, Diego, Megan, Lanolin, Carl and Jasmine. While Jennifer Hernandez and Will Sliney did character concepts for the rest of the named characters and other anthropomorphic animal background characters.
* The Film is rated PG due to the words "Crap" and "Hell" being mentioned, and of course a lot of verbal threats and a few protagonists being badly injured during a few battles.
* The film is filled with mixed reviews. Some of the reviewers praised the animation companies and Walt Disney Animation Studios for creating a massive masterpiece that is good as the films "Periwinkle Bellflower and Company: Rabbits of Beechflua", the Winx Club trilogy films and the original Disney films "Zootopia" and "Raya and the Last Dragon". A few reviewers criticized the scenes that show a bit of blood seen in two scenes, and of course the series of verbal threats and mentioning of "Crap" and "Hell" being heard 6 times. But Kathleen Kennedy and Iginio Straffi confirm that this film and the rest of the trilogy is for an older audience from ages 11 to 20.
* Although the show has a huge serious tone, many of Sonic's comments are extremely hip and humouros, while the actions Sticks show to have a slapstick tone like an anvil landing on her or being ran over by a crowd.
* Takashi Iizuka explains that despite Mighty and Ray are exclusive to the "classic Sonic world", he and the president of SEGA only allowed them to appear due to their popularity with North American fans and their latest appearance in Sonic Mania Plus. Even several fans across Italy and Japan wanted Mighty and Ray in appear in future Sonic media like this TV show. But the president of SEGA Hajime Satomi says it's for him and Takashi Iizuka to decide.
* 5 songs were first heard in the film, and two of them are cover songs.
** Michael Sweet and Lacey Sturm - Sapphire Streets.
** Escape the Fate - Top of the Planet.
** Five Finger Death Punch - It's Doesn't Matter (Tony Harnell cover).
** Demi Lovato and Jessikill - Six Hearts Forever.
** Black Veil Brides - Open your Heart (Crush 40 cover).
* Dr Robotnik's personality in the film is similar to his counterparts in Sonic Boom and the Live-Action film adaptions of Sonic the Hedgehog. Yet he remains villainous and of course greedy.
