Sonic The Hedgehog


After being forced to flee his home world via
a teleportation ring, everyone’s favorite blue
hedgehog finds himself having to navigate
the complexities of life on Earth with the
help of “Donut Lord”, Sheriff Tom Wachowski
(James Marsden). But when he accidentally
knocks out the power grid, Sonic (voiced
by Ben Schwartz) attracts the attention of
the super-uncool evil genius, Dr. Robotnik
(Jim Carrey).

FIVE FACTS:



  1. Sonic the Hedgehog is an action-adventure
    comedy movie based on the Sega videogame
    franchise of the same name.

  2. While work on a film adaptation of the
    Sonic videogames began in 1993, it took
    another two decades for the movie to
    progress beyond the planning stage.

  3. The film was directed by Jeff Fowler, in his
    feature directorial debut.

  4. Other members of the cast include Tiki
    Sumpter as Tom’s wife Maddie, and Natasha
    Rothwell as Maddie’s sister, Rachel.

  5. The initial humanlike design of Sonic
    for the movie, as featured in the first
    trailer, was modified to more closely
    resemble the videogame character after
    widespread criticism.
