The first filmās worldwide success was the culmination of a long journey, for which the filmmakers are grateful. āSONIC THE HEDGEHOG 1 kept everything fans loved about the games while adding unexpected dimensions,ā says producer Neal H. Moritz. āThe film franchise is a combination of what we love in movies ā incredible action, comedy, and a lot of heart that comes with Sonicās continuing friendships with his human pals, and a new character introduced in this sequel.ā
For director Jeff Fowler, the acclaim and love for the first film from around the world was more than rewarding. āIt was the greatest feeling imaginable,ā Fowler remembers. āIt was an unforgettable experience to see audiences fall in love with the characters, and to have the film be such a great time for families and fans.ā
Of course, that meant the new film had to be bigger ā āin so many ways,ā Fowler continues. āThe action is bigger, as is the humor and heart. And audiences will connect with Sonic in an even bigger way. Heās such a relatable figure in his search for friendship while trying to understand his purpose. What is he supposed to be doing with his incredible powers? But as with all heroes, Sonic doesnāt choose his moment; the moment chooses him.ā
Fowler is also looking for audiences to invest in the journeys of the characters new to the film franchise. āYou want the audience to fall in love with Tails and Knuckles the same way they fell for Sonic in the first film,ā he concludes.
