Sonic the Hedgehog[b] is a 2020 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game series of the same name published by Sega. The film was directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller. It stars Ben Schwartz (as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog), James Marsden, and Jim Carrey. The plot follows Sonic, a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds, who teams up with a town sheriff to stop mad scientist Dr. Robotnik.
Development for a Sonic film began in the 1990s but did not leave the planning stage until Sony Pictures acquired the film rights in 2013. Fowler was brought in to direct in 2016. After Sony put the project in turnaround, Paramount Pictures acquired it in 2017. Most of the cast signed on by August 2018. Principal photography took place between September and October that year in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. Following the negative reaction to the first trailer's reveal of Sonic's appearance in April 2019, Paramount delayed the film release by three months to redesign Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog premiered at the Paramount Pictures studio lot on January 25, 2020, before its theatrical release in the United States on February 14, and received mixed reviews from critics. It set the record for the biggest opening weekend for a video game film in the United States and Canada and grossed $319.7 million worldwide, becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of 2020 and the highest-grossing video game film adaptation in North America.
The film has spawned two sequels: Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which released in 2022, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which is scheduled for release in December 2024. A spin-off miniseries, Knuckles, starring Idris Elba, released on Paramount+ on April 26, 2024.

Amy embodied the same love and empathy as Maria- that's why she was the only one who could reach Shadow. It wasn't just "oh right, maybe humans aren't evil" it was hearing Maria's own words coming from someone else, knowing her wish wasn't dead. If anyone else is given that role the scene loses all meaning.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

By your own definition the importance is the emotion behind the words. Not really the person who said them.

[@superplushroompower-up]

​@@fightingmedialounge519Well that, and Amy was very similar to Maria. She goes above and beyond to see the best in people (after E-102 Gamma proved to her it was possible), so she trusted Shadow to do the right thing. I know Gamma isn't in the movies either, but it's just an observation I made.

I mean if people think Amy doesn’t matter and doesn’t need to be in these movies than they don’t know a thing about her since she’s one of the most important Sonic characters, and with the 3rd movie adapting SA2 then it’d be really odd for her to not show up when she’s an essential part of Shadow’s arc, she’s literally the person that got Shadow to remember his true promise to Maria and get him back to the good side, if it wasn’t for Amy, the heroes might’ve had less of a chance at stopping the Ark and even if they still did, Shadow would still be against them instead of with them, saying Amy doesn’t matter and doesn’t need to be in these movies is just kinda dumb (which goes for Rouge too)

[@jjmulvaney2758]

Movie Amy needs to make an appearance!

[@sonicdaily_0881]

I see Amy being introduced as this lonely hedgehog like you said. I believe hedgehogs are a really rare species in this universe so she'd be sort of by herself all these years. The only thing she has is the prophecy of a super powerful hedgehog that so happens to be Sonic(Him having "Nah too boring of a job for me" kinda attitude). She has searched all over the universe just like Tails to meet her hero so she's REALLY passionate for him. She has never been shown love to, yet she demonstrates care for everyone in her path, which will definetly confuse Shadow if their hog to hog talk ever happens. But here's the catch: she is really worried about the future, contrasting with Shadow having to let go his dark past and Sonic's ways of living in the moment (maybe he'll also have to leave Earth or the chaos control thing you said could happen to also go into the "letting go" theme). I also think she's gonna be really excited to understand Planet Earth and be amazed by everything she sees. She might jump into situations without thinking a lot like Sonic, but more so out of curiosity. Also, on the Rouge part of things, I can definetly see them doing some sort of backstory for her. Maybe she had to fought for her life everyday so she became a treasure hunter. She knows how much the Chaos and Master emeralds are worth so she knew she couldnt lose this chance, afterall "All jewels in the world are" hers "to keep!!". I just think this movie will have an overall theme of loss, death, letting go and not be too worried about what's going to happen in the future, just live in the moment As Sonic would say: "Don't turn back, always run forward, and never lose your step!!"

[@YujiUedaFan]

TBH, Rouge should have been introduced in the Knuckles Show.

I fully agree, like, there's only 4(or 7 if you count Manic, Sonia and Scourge)that's almost as bad and/or rare as Knuckles being the last Echidna, there's also other species in the franchise that we don't see enough of(Fox, Cat, Bird, etc)

She can't just exist solely for that one scene. Otherwise, yeah. They could easily give that role to another character.

[@christscrackers647]

I actually agree with this take 100%. Both Amy AND Rouge are key characters in the franchise, at least one of them should be introduced in the movie universe so they can play some kind of role in shadow’s story, otherwise the studio isn’t really using the IP to its fullest. Also the people that say that Amy shouldn’t be in the movie come from Twitter. Pup you should know by now that you won’t ever find smart opinions on Twitter.

[@Schwoomy]

On the idea of “Amy taking too much screen time from Shadow”, if we talk about purely just the cutscenes in Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow probably honestly had the lowest amount of screentime of the main cast, I think even in the original game Amy had more screen time purely by hanging out with Sonic and the others, but Shadow was more of a lone wolf character so even in the dark story he honestly wasn’t on screen as much as the others, but that didn’t make what he got any less notable

Amy has also been very relevant in Sonic media lately too, she’s been in Frontiers, Origins, Superstars, and Dream Team, and she was playable in all those. In Sonic Prime, all her variants had decent roles to play. Murder of Sonic takes place on her birthday.

I do hope Amy and Rouge shows up in Sonic 3, but it feels unlikely. Especially learning that Jeff Fowler isn't a fan of Rouge and he wrote for the Sonic movies so it's concerning. I love Amy. She's one of my favorites (honestly I didn't mind the change in Sonic X with Chris taken Amy's place, would be great if it was a combined effort with Chris & Amy, as another Human character is like Maria exists in present and destroyed the world would destroy another human like Maria and Amy stating the same words and pointed it towards Chris would've be a nice detail to that scene) and I hope she gets the respect she deserves. I do dislike how they're handling Amy nowadays. I love how unapologetic Amy is with showing her love for Sonic, though at times SEGA went overboard with how she acted, which is where the fans pointing it out and they course corrected too hard. Amy is really an incredible character when you really take a moment to understand her character. EDIT: I would love to see more Human OCs in Sonic stories.

You're so right about the comparison to other HUGE animated properties. No matter what people say, things like the Mario Movie or certain Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks films are MASSIVELY successful. Anyone who says having more animated characters would harm the movie has no idea what they're talking about, or simply can't envision how to make it work properly. That doesn't mean that the filmmakers and writers can't do it or shouldn't try. That being said, here is a list of characters that should appear in Sonic 3: Froggy Scratch and Grounder Rob O' Hedge Tails Doll Marine the Raccoon Fish (from Sonic Adventure)

[@fightingmedialounge519]

I mean, there are also animated movies that are far less successful than their live action counterpart. So that's not really the deciding factor in terms of success.

[@DanPlotMix]

Scratcher and Grounder is replaced by Agent Stone for this interpterion of Eggman. Realistically for the list of characters to appear would be Amy Rose and Rouge. Big and Froggy as a cameo like SA2 did.

Hey Garrulous!

[@tiagomoreira8905]

So, here's how I'd do it: - She comes to Earth guided by her cards. She’s a dreamer inn search of adventure - Her power is to summon and empower her hammer - She gets in trouble because she knows nothing about Earth, Sonic saves her and she falls in love. Sonic gets nervous and runs away, thought. - Have your Sonic vs Shadow fight, Shadow mops the floor with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. - Amy eventually meets and befriends Shadow, while Sonic teams up with Robotnik. - At the end of act 2, Robotnik betrays Sonic and used the combined quills of Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles to power Metal Sonic. - Metal Sonic beats Sonic and Shadow because they can’t work together. When they manage to escape him, he kidnaps Amy - 3rd act is to rescue Amy, while Robotnik is preparing something big for the world - Final fight is a hedgehog fest: Sonic, Shadow and Amy vs Metal Sonic, while Knuckles and Tails try to stop Robotnik’s greater plan - Amy makes Sonic and Shadow to work together. Robotnik is stopped but too late. - Inspired by Amy, Shadow sacrifices himself to save the world. - Post credits reveal Shadow survived. At least those are my hopes.

[@Artist_Unbound]

I definitely agree that A. Amy would be great for more female representation to reach the younger demographic, but Amy's character is more than just being a gaga fan girl. Her "all loving spirit" shows her as the literal heart of the franchise. Amy's character helps give Sonic compassion. Each of the characters bring out something like that; Tails: Responsibility Knuckles: Strength Shadow: Maturity. Amy shows to Sonic that to truly help people, it's just to slow down and be emotional support. Especially since movie Sonic is more emotive than game Sonic, because there are little writing restrictions.

[@kage1573]

I see your points and agree that Amy plays an important role in Shadow's story but I would also argue that Sonic Adventure 2 had the luxury of being 9 hours long in comparison to the movie likely being 2 hours at most and we also have to consider potential stories that would be emphasized outside of Shadow like developing Sonic's heroism and empathy, Tails developing his independence, Robotnik learning about his Grandfather, the organization that controlled Project Shadow, and possible flashbacks to Maria and Shadow being on the arc; I would love to see Amy and Rouge in the movie but I feel like the movie already has a lot of arcs to juggle already and adding in Amy can result in a more muddled story that falls short of expectations. I would disagree that Amy's direction is extreme in the new games because in Frontiers Amy is vulnerable, caring while also willing to stand up for what she believes in and loving Sonic but the difference between her character now and her depictions from Heroes to Generations is that modern Amy is allowed to have interests outside of Sonic, able to hold fun conversation with him that showcases a meaningful dynamic, and emphasizing her own values in comparison to her having a rather one dimensional dynamic that didn't progress the story or the characters while leaving her more empathetic qualities behind in SA 1 and SA 2; the IDW comics are also a good example of how here character has progressed in the Modern Era of Sonic.

[@KinghippoMC]

I feel like there is a balance to be struck, if too many characters are introduced in one film it could start to feel a little crowded, but I feel like introducing 1 to 3 characters per movie would be good.

I became a Sonic fan because of the story of Sonic Adventure 2. When I watched Sonic X for the first time, I grew attached to Shadow's character and I wanted to learn more, so I watched the cutscenes to Adventure 1 (because I thought you had to watch the first one to watch the second one). Then I watched the cutscenes to Adventure 2, and after watching those cutscenes I realized that I really like Sonic, I really like these characters and these stories. SA2 cutscenes made me realize that video games could have good stories in them. I became a Sonic fan because of the stories in the games, not because of the gameplay. If gameplay was all that mattered, I'd be a Mario fan. I play games because of stories.

I've not agreed with the "Amy would make it too crowded" argument but still took it for granted to some extent, and figured it would still be beneficial to just focus on Shadow, but the point about screentime you made actually kind of crushes that perspective. Shadow does not need to be a protagonist whose perspective we follow to leave a huge impression, and whenever he's not on screen there's surely going to be plenty of time to fill. Amy is one of my favorite Sonic characters at the moment and I hope she's done justice! It really makes less sense to ignore her than it does to find any reason to make her a part of this world already.

Amy and Rouge both need to be in that film - I find it horrifying how female characters are being mistreated due to stereotypical gender beliefs and they both play core roles in SA2B for heck’s name. Amy has developed not only as a character but a female role model throughout her time being in the sonic brand and while rouge debuted in SA2B, that does not make either of them any less valuable. I think it would be criminal if the producers left either one of them out. Personally, I adore BOTH female characters and when I watched the sonic films, it was for sonic, tails, knuckles, Eggman and not for the other human characters. I am sure that there are many other people with similar tastes on who they want to watch but it would be wrong for Amy’s and Rouges roles to not be added.

[@PlanetZoidstar]

Amy is my favourite character in the Sonic franchise. I think part of the problem is that the times you get to play 'as' Amy or the times she plays a key role in the games are the exception to the rule. Most of the time Amy is just 'there' and alot of the time she is defined by her Sonic obsession. In these instances Sonic is often put off by Amy's advances and runs from her. This makes Amy come across as annoying to alot of people because if you don't find her gag funny, chances are you won't find her enjoyable to watch. But I've always enjoyed Amy's optimistic, compassionate and courageous personality. She may not often get a moment to shine but hopefully now Sega are addressing the ways her character has been mishandled in the past. I do think the Sonic crush 'should' be there to a degree because it's Amy's most consistent and self-defining personality trait - if you remove it she stops being Amy. But it shouldn't be all there is to her at the same time. Sega needs to find that balance where Amy still feels like she's Amy, but that she isn't overbearing or irrelevent to the games' plot. Amy should 'definitely' be in Sonic 3, she technically predates Knuckles if we go by when the 16-Bit games were developed, and she's too integral a character to leave out.

[@Morales3088]

Amy was actually Sonic's first friend, and nowadays, she's basically a member of team sonic

I personally the idea that Sonic could have met Amy when they were kids, like when he went to get the flower for Longclaw. How she gets to Earth while keeping true to the games? Not sure, but I trust them to come up with something. People are so hyped for Shadow, they forget this is a SONIC movie. With how much focus Knuckles got, the second movie still followed Sonic, and also Robotnik. And like you said, there’s not a lot of female representation in these movies. That’s something that definitely needs to be expanded on.

You make good points Pup. The main two concerns I see potentially preventing Amy from appearing is 1) the cost of having *five* vfx heavy characters that are all individually highly expensive 2) the length of sonic adventure 2’s story is being cut down to probably about 90 minutes, 2 hours at most. That said, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are all quite cemented, none of them really *need* much more character work. Ultimately I think I agree that Amy could be included just fine in Sonic 3, and that not doing so would be a mistake. Great points about lack of female characters too, btw.

I honestly think that Amy will apear on this movie. Not because her roll being important, but because she's part of the popular characters they use for selling toys. Spoiler alert: maybe is a bit worrysome that whith Tails they revealed Knuckles before the trailer and that this situation of Shadow they didn't say anything about another character (and then there's the "year of Shadow" thing). But maybe the more worrysome thing is that someone leaked part of the storyboars of the movie, and Amy wasn't there for sure, if not they would have been a huge viral notice.
