After the huge success of the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie, it was inevitable that a sequel would arrive. Anyone who stayed until the end credits of the first film will know that this time around, Sonic (Parks and Recreation’s Ben Schwartz) will be joined by his iconic pal Tails (voiced by Colleen O’Shaughnessey) to take on Jim Carrey’s scene stealing Dr Robotnik once again. But this time he’s brought along some muscle, namely Knuckles the Echidna (Idris Elba). There’s a race against time to find a magical emerald that has the power to build or destroy entire civilizations. Humans caught in the crossfire once again include James Marsden and Tika Sumpter, with Shemar Moore, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally and Lee Majdoub in support. Expect a fun family adventure that’s perfect for retro gamers and new fans alike. And don’t rule out a Sonic 3 either!
