A 2020 action-adventure comedy film based on the Sonic video game franchise, directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller and produced by Paramount Pictures.
The film had a great controversy over Sonic's initial humanoid looking design, which has also been described as adjacent to the uncanny valley. Due to the overwhelmingly bad reception to this design, the movie was postponed and Sonic got a redesign much closer to his game counterpart, which received much more praise.
The film stars Ben Schwartz as the voice for Sonic the Hedgehog and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, as well as James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, and Neal McDonough. In the film, Sonic teams up with local town sheriff Tom Wachowski to find his lost rings while they escape from Robotnik.
