Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie is a 2023 movie based on the popular video game of the same name starring Ryan Reynolds as Sonic. It was produced by Dreamworks Animations.
== History/Production ==
The movie began development in 2019 and went through a few ideas, including being a movie based on the SatAM show or the original Sonic OVA. It was decided to have it based on the classic games with elements of modern Sonic sprinkled in, like the Homing Attack and Shadow the Hedgehog. After finishing the script, they got Ryan Reynolds to voice Sonic. Rodger Craig Smith, the current game voice for Sonic, was given the role of Metal Sonic out of respect.
The movie's production was set in motion in 2020, and a year later a teaser trailer was released. The film was originally to be released in 2022, but due to issues it was pushed back to 2023. Until then Sega made up for it by releasing animated Sonic shorts on the day the movie was to originally release.
The film was released worldwide on May 17th, 2023. It recieved positive reviews and earned $300,000,000 on a $80,000,000 budget. The soundtrack was released shortly after.
== Synopsis ==
Sonic the Hedgehog lives on South Island along with his best friend Tails and a village full of other animal people. Years ago a strange emerald crashed on the island turning every creature on said island humanoid. One day, a couple of robots invade the island in search of the emerald, kidnapping several villagers along the way. Sonic and Miles manage to escape but not before accidentally absorbing a bit of energy from the emerald and giving Sonic super speed and Miles a second Tail. A Echidna named Knuckles tells the duo that someone is after the emerald in order to bring his greatest creation to life, something called "Project D.A.R.K". He doesn't know why the villain kidnapped the villains.
With no time to lose, the three head off their home and out into the unknown in order to save their animal buddies and keep the Emerald away from Robotnick. Sonic and Miles will have to learn how to control their new powers and also work with Knuckles in order to save not only the island, but the whole world.

==Differences==
There are several changes made from the games to givea fresh take on the franchise. These include the following:
*Sonic and Tails gain their powers via absorbing Chaos Emerald energy instead of being born with it. In addition, they have different names before they gain these powers: Blue and Miles.
*Metal Sonic is refered to as simply "Metal".

== Trivia ==
*This is the 3rd movie in the Sonic franchise, the other two being the original OVA and the 2019 film.
*The movie was to originally be a continuation of the popular 1993 Sonic cartoon, with the Freedom Fighters rebanding to finally put an end to Robotnick. However it was seen as too confusing for casual movie-goers and it was better suited for a series rather then a film.
**Another idea was to have it be a remake of the OVA, but that was scrapped in favor of an original plot.
**A minor change was that, originally, all 7 chaos emeralds would be present. That was scrapped to make it simpler. Justin Roiland was also going to play Rey, but he was removed due to his humor conflicting with the movie's tone.
