If You've Seen The Sonic The Hedgehog Movies…
The initial controversy surrounding the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog was one of the biggest stories in movies that year. So, needless to say, we were sure to report on every update that followed until the official redesign was revealed if you are curious to revisit that charade after checking out the final product.
Along with a few behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the film and an in-depth analysis of the film's conclusion, the hosts of our own ReelBlend podcast also had the pleasure of speaking with star Ben Schwartz about his side of the story.
And then there are all the stories CinemaBlend has written about Sonic the Hedgehog 2 since its release, including a breakdown of its ending (and what it means for the future of the franchise), what young (and the young at heart) audiences thought about the movie, and why Jim Carrey came back for a second round of zany action.
With Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and a Knuckles spin-off in the works, there’s never been a better time to be a fan of the legendary video game franchise. And if those titles are like their predecessors, then it’s safe to say that now’s a good time to make sure you have an active Paramount+ subscription.
