Sonic The Hedgehog 3 zooms onto the big screen!
Sonic The Hedgehog 3, from Paramount Pictures, in association with SEGA, opens exclusively in theatres nationwide on Friday, December 20th. Sonic the Hedgehog returns to the big screen this holiday season in his most thrilling adventure yet. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet.
The Sonic films are directed by Jeff Fowler, an American director. Fowler has worked with Sonic on video games before, working on the CGI for the 2005 Shadow the Hedgehog game.
Ben Schwartz, voice star of DuckTales and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, voices Sonic. Jim Carrey also returns as both Doctor Eggman and Professor Gerald Robotnik for this movie.
Colleen O'Shaughnessey is Miles "Tails" Prower: An intelligent anthropomorphic yellow-orange fox who can fly with his twin-tails, Idris Elba is Knuckles the Echidna: A hot-headed and serious anthropomorphic red echidna warrior with super strength, and lastly, Keanu Reeves is Shadow the Hedgehog.
Following in the footsteps of the first 2 films, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is funny, action based, and family friendly. However, this new film introduces the characters Shadow. Shadow was created by Professor Gerald Robotnik to save his granddaughter Maria and is a mix of genetic engineering and alien DNA from Black Doom. Shadow is a black and red hedgehog, whom Sonic gets mistaken for throughout the plot of Sonic Adventure 2.
The movie plot unfolds off of the coast of Japan, where a secret Guardian Units of Nations (G.U.N.) prison facility's systems is hacked, awakening Shadow the Hedgehog from suspended animation. Elsewhere, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are celebrating the anniversary of Sonic's arrival on Earth with their adoptive parents Tom and Maddie Wachowski. G.U.N. Director Rockwell arrives and recruits Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to stop Shadow, who is causing chaos in Tokyo. Shadow overpowers the three and escapes leading to chaos and danger.
