Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Screenplay by: Pat Casey and Josh Miller
The video game version followed a blue hedgehog speeding through worlds collecting as many rings as possible before facing a series of enemies at the end of the level.
There really wasn’t much to the story of the video game, which meant the filmmakers of the successful franchise had plenty of room to develop Sonic and those he encounters on Earth.
The fun, family film became the third highest-grossing movie of 2020, which immediately set off the need for a sequel (and eventual third movie). The movie follows Sonic as he befriends a local police officer who helps him reclaim the rings he lost. Amid their shenanigans, Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey), the video game’s supervillain, chases after them in hopes of capturing Sonic and his technologically advanced rings.
