What happens

Sonic Boom is an animated sitcom produced by Sega of America, Inc. and Technicolor Animation Productions (formerly OuiDo! Productions in season 1) in collaboration with Lagardère Thématiques and Jeunesse TV, respectively for Cartoon Network, Canal J, and Gulli, It is loosely based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series by Sega, the fifth animated television series based on the franchise, and the first to be produced in both computer animation and high-definition. The series premiered in November 2014. It is a part of the Sonic Boom spin-off franchise, which also consists of three video games: Rise of Lyric, Shattered Crystal, and Fire & Ice; a comic series by Archie Comics, and a toyline by Tomy. In spite of the games' critical and commercial failure and the mixed response to the character redesigns, the series gained a cult following online for its witty and self-referential humor.
