The Nintendo-exclusive Sonic Boom video game is set to premiere on Cartoon Network on Nov. 8 via a CGI animated series by Sega of Almerica Inc. and Genao Productions.

"Sonic the Hedgehog, the iconic video game character who has brought his trademark speed and attitude to four TV series and more than 70 video games, is returning to television in his first-ever CG animated series in the fall 2014. The action packed comedy series aimed at children 6-11 will debut first on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France, with a global rollout to follow. The initial order of 52 eleven-minute episodes is co-produced by SEGA of America Inc. and Genao Productions," according to the Oct. 2 Sega blog.

The story centers on the adventures of Sonic, his best buddy Tails and their incessant war with their ultimate adversary, Dr. Eggman.

To ensure that the series will be faithful to the original story and characters of the hit video game, Head of Sonic Team Takashi Iizuka will be overseeing the production.

"Sonic is the star of the SEGA universe and the stage is now set for him to shine like never before. By teaming up with world-class partners in television animation like Cartoon Network, Genao Productions and GULLI, we're ensuring that the Sonic legacy will be introduced to a new generation of children across the globe," said Hiroyuki Miyazaki, SEGA's Chief Content Officer for Sonic.

Aside from the protagonist Sonic the Hedgehog, voiced by Roger Craig Smith, other colorful characters in the animated show include Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Sticks the Badger and the evil genius Dr. Eggman.
