Video: Sonic’s ‘Memories And Beyond’ 35th Anniversary Animation Released
Sega has released *Memories and Beyond*, a roughly 13-minute animated short marking Sonic the Hedgehog’s 35th anniversary. Sonic and his friends try to stop Dr. Eggman using the Chaos Emeralds to upgrade Metal Sonic, a story that adds a new celebration of the long-running series.
The short’s story is by Takashi Iizuka and its script is by Ian Flynn. Made with GSX Productions over the past 12 months, it is their fourth collaboration; Sega is also releasing a special-edition T-shirt inspired by the animation. Metal Sonic is set to appear in the *Sonic the Hedgehog 4* live-action film, due in cinemas next year.
