Knuckles has the “exact same animation quality” as Sonic 3 movie

Total Film has chatted with Knuckles TV show showrunner Toby Ascher about the forthcoming series. Ascher informed the publication that it has exactly the same animations quality at Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which will arrive in cinemas this December. He also said that it’s bigger than Sonic the Hedgehog 1 from a visual effects standpoint as it has 300 more shots in Knuckles than the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Knuckles makes its debut on Paramount Plus on 26th April in the US and 27th April in the UK.

“We shot it back-to-back with Sonic 3. It’s the exact same animation quality,” Ascher, who is also a producer on Sonic the Hedgehog 3, tells GamesRadar+.

“It’s actually bigger than Sonic 1 from a VFX standpoint. We have 300 more shots in Knuckles than Sonic 1. It’s a TV show but feels and plays out like a big extra movie.”

“If you love what we’re doing with this franchise, this shouldn’t be looked at as something that’s an extra thing that they did on the side and the animation is not that good,” Ascher notes. “We really strove hard to make sure the animation quality on the show is as good as the movie.”
