The most unlikely success story of recent years is not about to stop. Even before the revival of film and television adaptations of cult video games, SEGA and Paramount took a chance by bringing Sonic’s adventures to the big screen in 2020. This risky bet almost ended in disaster. Following the release of a first trailer, The blue hedgehog design was far from unanimous. While everyone expected a disaster, the studio did the impossible: reworked the entire feature film to give the hero an appearance worthy of the name.
This decision truly saved the project. The audiences were there and the film was a more than adequate success for an adaptation of the genre. The announced flop finally turned into a real franchise. After a second film in 2022 and a live action series in early 2024, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are preparing to make their return to the big screen. Never two without three. This new adventure is particularly anticipated by fans, because it promises to echo Sonic Adventure 2 and the famous rivalry with Shadow, the franchise’s new antagonist.
