Sonic Underground: War on Mobius
Project Overview
Welcome aboard, Mobians!
You may know us from our two previous casting calls, which were unexpectedly successful! We’re thrilled to return for a third round, as we’re still in need of a few more key positions to fill.
Our team is small but tightly-knit, and with your help, we’re hoping to make that final push to truly bring this project to life.
Regarding payment, this project will be deferred profit share.
Our immediate goal is to complete a 1-minute opening intro as a proof of concept. Once finished, we’ll use it to expand on what needs improvement and build momentum for the full series. Payment will be distributed from sources such as YouTube monetization, Kickstarter funding, merch sales, donations, and other revenue streams. Our long-term goal is to offer generous compensation to those contributing their time and skills.
As for how we pay you when the time comes, we are open to any payment service that you actively use.
We already have several seconds of animation completed, and we’re eager to expand from there.

Sonic Underground: War on Mobius is an independent fan-made continuation of the 1999 DiC animated series Sonic Underground. The original series was abruptly canceled after 40 episodes due to production issues, leaving fans with an unresolved cliffhanger. Despite mixed reviews, Sonic Underground developed a cult following in the years that followed, and many of us saw untapped potential in what could have been.
This continuation aims to stay faithful to the original series rather than reboot it. The core premise remains unchanged: Sonic, Sonia, and Manic continue their quest to find their mother and fulfill the prophecy foretold by the Oracle of Delphius. Together, they will form the Council of Four and bring an end to Dr. Ivo Robotnik’s reign of terror over Mobius.
(And yes, their mother WILL be found this time! XD)
We’re looking for fellow Sonic fans who share our passion and vision to complete the story that began over two decades ago. Whether you’re an artist, animator, or someone who simply loves the series and wants to help, any assistance is deeply appreciated!
