While on their road trip, the two are chased by Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and the entire U.S. government.
Things have taken a turn for the worse since the release of the first Sonic the Hedgehog trailer. Some of the fans argued the character’s teeth looked like human teeth. Within two days of the release of the first Sonic trailer director Jeff Fowler announced both Paramount and Sega had agreed to change the character’s look to make it the best it could be. No details were given as to what specific changes the companies have in mind.
