#SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 MOVIE TRAILER SERIES#

He delivers a fantastically adolescent energy to Sonic that really drives home the character development that takes place throughout the film from his fun-loving antics to his dramatic face-offs against Knuckles, you feel connected to this character and his journey. The animation on Sonic, Tails and Knuckles is consistently excellent, with the character designs themselves a massive improvement over the already-impressive Sonic and Tails models found in the first movie.īen Schwartz's performance of Sonic the Hedgehog is absolutely without peer, and it's easy to come to the conclusion that he is the definitive voice of the blue blur for this and the next generation to come.

As far as the characterisation goes, it's absolutely top notch.

As he gets to grips with understanding the burden of his power, Sonic's abilities and judgment is tested after a confrontation with Eggman and Knuckles that kick-start a series of chaotic events.Īlong the way the blue blur meets Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey), a technically-minded and crafty two-tailed fox who travels to Earth to help after learning about both Sonic's heroism and Eggman's incoming threat via the means of inter-dimensional surveillance and news reports (maybe he's been reading the Sonic Stadium!).įans will be happy to hear that the majority of the movie focuses on the adventures of Sonic and Tails, as well as their interactions against Knuckles and Eggman. However, 'Blue Justice' (as he calls himself) comes at a cost as he leaves waves of destruction in his well-intentioned wake. Meanwhile, Sonic (Ben Schwartz) is settling in to life on Earth by attempting to solve crimes and rescue citizens. The two form an alliance to track the hedgehog down and obtain the Master Emerald, a powerful gem that Knuckles believes is his by ancestral birthright. Along the way, he attracts the attention of Knuckles (Idris Elba), the last of the Echidna tribe who has his own motivations for finding and defeating Sonic. Picking up right where the first movie left us, Sonic 2 sees a maniacal Doctor Robotnik/Eggman (played by Jim Carrey) escape his Mushroom Planet prison and find his way back to Earth in order to exact revenge on Sonic and conquer the world. This is a rare movie that is both an excellent video-game adaptation and a sequel that's better than its predecessor. Thankfully, there is no need to worry about such a cynical follow-up, as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 not only goes out of its way to respect the fans' time by focusing the majority of its action on the characters they care most about, but it does so with a jam-packed story that is much improved over, and builds upon, the prequel. Especially with the introduction of rival Knuckles the Echidna to automatically guarantee fan support. But with a car crash swiftly avoided, and the fanbase on-side as a result, it would have been easy for Paramount to rest on its laurels and phone it in for the sequel. After all, were it not for intense community feedback (and eventually the artistic talents of Tyson Hesse), the blue blur's big-screen debut would have surely flopped. You'd be forgiven for wondering if the success of the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie was a total fluke.
