The movie is ideal for families with children, as well as for those who fondly remember playing Sonic games in the 1990s and beyond.

Jeff Fowler directed the movie - and there's even a third movie in the works, its been reported.

In 2020, the first, Sonic The Hedgehog adaptation of the popular video game – didn't impress viewers.

When the first trailer was revealed, the hedgehog’s look (specifically his teeth) was mercilessly mocked online.

Director Jeff Fowler — making his feature debut — announced that animators were going back to the drawing board and the release date was moved from November 2019 to 2020.

The story introduces the blue speedster as a young orphan, sent from his dimension to Earth using magical rings to hide from those who want to nick his powers.

Ten years later, the teen hedgehog is hiding out in the small town of Green Hills, Montana.

But after causing a power surge, he becomes the target of the government and a villainous scientist called Dr Robotnik (Jim Carrey).
