Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The infamous original design with human teeth went so viral that the studio delayed the film three months and spent $5 million redesigning Sonic. Director Jeff Fowler literally tweeted 'message received' and changed everything.
This became the highest-grossing video game movie in US history at the time — proof that listening to fans (sometimes) pays off, and that Jim Carrey's return to physical comedy was sorely missed.
