Sonic the Hedgehog is a 2020 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game franchise published by Sega. The film is directed by Jeff Fowler in his feature directorial debut and based upon a screenplay by Pat Casey and Josh Miller. It stars Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog and Jim Carrey as Doctor Robotnik, as well as James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, and Neal McDonough. In the film, Sonic teams up with local town sheriff Tom Wachowski to find and reclaim his lost rings and escape Dr. Robotnik.
Development of a film began in the 1990s but never progressed beyond the scripting stage. In 2013, Sony Pictures acquired the film rights to the franchise, and by 2014, the film had entered development, in collaboration with Sega Sammy's Japan-based studio Marza Animation Planet. Fowler was hired to direct in 2016. After Sony put the project in turnaround, Paramount Pictures acquired it in 2017, and the majority of the cast had signed on by August 2018. Filming took place between September and October 2018 in Ladysmith and Parksville, both on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Originally due out in November 2019, the film's release was pushed back to allow for Sonic to be redesigned following overwhelmingly negative reaction to his initial appearance in the first trailer.
Sonic the Hedgehog premiered at the Paramount Theatre on January 25, 2020, and it was theatrically released in the United States on February 14, 2020. The film received praise from critics for the cast's performances, particularly Carrey's, along with Sonic's design and the film's faithfulness to the source material, but it also received criticism for its plot and perceived lack of originality. The film has grossed $203 million worldwide, making it the third highest-grossing film of 2020. It also set the record for the biggest opening weekend by a video game-based film in the United States and Canada.
