The film, co-created by Sonic designer Naoto Oshima and Joseph Chou, aims to blend Japanese anime aesthetics with Western storytelling.
- 'Hypergalactic' features a story and characters from Naoto Oshima, the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, and is described as Toei Animation's most ambitious film to date.
- The English-language CG action adventure follows a teenage girl and her little brother as they embark on a journey with Earth's forgotten protector to find their missing parents.
