Believe it or not, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie is finally on the way. If you want to know more details about the film, then you've come to the right place. This is everything we know about the Blue Blur's big screen debut, and why you should be looking forward to it.

Sonic the Hedgehog was already supposed to be upon us. The film has been in development since 2013, but the production really ramped up in 2017 and 2018. The original release was scheduled for November 8, 2019, but the first trailer in April of 2019 caused such a negative reaction - particularly to the title character's design - that the studio pulled the film back to work on some alterations.

However, it appears the redesigned film is finally up to snuff, as the new release date of February 14, 2020 seems like it is set in stone. If your idea of a romantic Valentine's Day date is with a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog wearing sneakers, then you are in luck in 2020.

After the controversy that swirled around the original trailer, the reworked version released in November of 2019 has received much more praise for being faithful to the tone of the franchise.

It does a decent job of setting the stage: Sonic - voiced by Ben Schwartz - is a lonely alien who lives on Earth and is bored out of his mind. After he causes a huge power surge, several forces start converging to try to capture Sonic and harness his powers, which he tells us could let them "conquer the universe." One of those forces is Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik.

Otherwise, the trailer shows a lot of references to Sonic video games, showcases the film's sense of humor, and focuses on two central things: Robotnik's weapons and the friendship between Sonic and Tom - played by James Marsden. It seems like a pretty strong showcase of the movie's tone, so you'll have a good idea what you're getting into before you decide if you want to see Sonic the Hedgehog. Make sure you watch this before you see Sonic the Hedgehog!
