Sonic the Hedgehog (movie and sequel)

 

             We all know that little blue hedgehog from the SEGA games, but he also is known than just being a SEGA game or icon.

 

     In 1991, SEGA genesis came out with a new video came starring a blue hedgehog named Sonic. He would collect rings as well as defeating a villain that goes by the name of Dr. Robotnick. Why would he try to stop Sonic. I have no idea why. 

             Sonic would soon have other games like Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 as well as a 3d version.

Sonic was the brain child of two creators by the name of Yuji Naika and Nado Ohshima. Soon came cartoons of this blue hedgehog who could run as fast as the Roadrunner.

     "The adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" was one of the first cartoons starring the blue hedgehog. His love for Chili dogs and tricking Robotnick and his goons were the main point of the show. I wasn't a huge fan of this one. But one plus, the voice acting.

     Jaleel White, who was a nerd back in the 80's in Family Matters became a voice actors and was one of the voices of Sonic. With this version, it wasn't great. It felt more goofy as if the show needed ritalin. It was all over the place. It also had a Sonic Says segment.

 

   Later, there was another Sonic cartoon that was a bit better. It seemed darker and grittier. Feeling as if the evil Robotnick has taken over his city He has a group of friends that help find a way to save everyone as well as themselves. The only down side was the finalie. It was in a cliffhanger, and it seemed there was going to be another villain as well. 

Sonic had some pals around like a two tailed fox named Tailes and another hedgehog that was enemy turned friend named Knuckles. Knuckles was considered a stronger and tougher hedgehog. He was in some cartoon movies and tv shows, and now there is rumors that he could be in the new Sonic Sequel that is coming out next year.

    Sonic the hedgehog movie was a big move from small to big screen. But...who would voice the hedgehog, how will the design look? Who would play Robotnick?

        First off, when they first designed Sonic, he looked nothing like a cartoon character. He had small eyes, human teeth and it was just all out HORENDOUS! But happily they listened to the viewers and changed sonic. Making his eyes bigger, his head bigger, having hidden teeth, making it look more like the cartoon character we all fell in love with.

  Jim Carey had the opportunity of playing Dr. Robotnick. Some people were skeptical at first while others were pretty happy to see him play a villan. He did a pretty good job. He made this movie five times better. He will even play Robotnick in the sequel 

   Jaleel White is not voicing Sonic in the movies. He was replaced by actor Ben Schawrtz. He did a good job. HIs voice is pretty iconic for anyone that's a fan of Parks and Recreation. He is voicing him again in the sequel.

    The sequel will have more characters real and computer. Sonic's friend/enemy Knuckles will the there as well as his partner Tails. Jim Carey will be creating a whole new version of Dr. Robotnick. It would similar to the one from the cartoons and video game.

    Coming out around Easter of Next year, no one knows what will happen next. Most of the actors will be back for the movie. I can't wait to see it. Thought I wouldn't like the first one, but I did. And well...you never know what will happen next to a hedgehog with red sneakers and SEGA.
