If you think of the blue hedgehog, there’s a good chance you’ll immediately think of Sonic! Created by Sega in 1991, this flagship pop culture character has rivaled the famous mustachioed plumber Mario for thirty-four years.
So it’s only natural that in 2020, Sonic was given the rights to his own film adaptation. Directed by Jeff Fowler (who worked on the special effects for Max and Maxim Monsters), Sonic features Sonic and his new best friend Tommy in a battle against the evil Dr. Robotnik, who is determined to rule the entire world.
You probably recognize Malik Bentalha as the French voice of The Blue Hedgehog. In terms of casting, we note the presence of famous names from American cinema, such as Jim Carrey, James Marsden (Never Forget), Tika Sumpter (Try), Adam Pal (Happy Ending) or Neil McDonough (Desperate Housewives).
Conquering the world of video games… and beyond

Over thirty years, a whole bunch of Sonic products have been created: several dozen video games, books, clothes, figures, stuffed animals and even movies! The first to date is Sonic the Movie (there are three directed by Jeff Fowler).
And the least we can say is that the fans of this world were really there. In France alone, the film had 2,113,220 admissions and grossed $306,766,470 internationally.
However, the Sonic movie may have been a monumental failure. And for good reason, initially, the design of the Blue Hedgehog was supposed to be different, but in the face of fan outcry, the Paramount studio decided to inject an additional five million dollars to start the look of the Blue Hedgehog from scratch. .
In total, the feature film cost 90 million dollars (which is not much compared to the income). So the movie studio did well to trust the fans from the beginning to the end…
