Mega Sonic Bros. CGI Shorts



Mega Sonic Bros. CGI shorts are CGI shorts that are shown at the end of some episodes.

According to the show's debuting press release, it states This series also includes all-new adventures with the Sonic The Hedgehog and Punk in stunning CG. The animators chose to make the Mega Sonic Bros. shorts CGI.

"CGI works really well for them because we can create one environment, this desert environment, and basically just shoot different cartoons in it. They're silent characters so we don't have to worry about lip sync. Also, by their nature, they're all about speed and height, so we could do a lot of cool stuff with the camera."
