Sonic (Schwartz), the blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with superspeed, is determined to leave his mark as a hero in his adopted home town of Green Hills. When his arch nemesis Dr. Robotnik (Carrey) suddenly returns to Earth in search of a world-controlling Master Emerald, Sonic must team up with his new flying friend Tails (O’Shaughnessey) to find the Emerald first – but they also have to deal with Robotnik’s new ally, a powerful red echidna named Knuckles (Elba)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

After sticking the landing with his surprisingly-not-terrible film debut, Sonic the Hedgehog returns for an action-packed sequel that also introduces some of the SEGA icon’s most recognisable co-stars, Tails and Knuckles.
