Unexpected. Show was a bit hit and miss tbh. Knuckles was hilarious, but wade (and his family) were flat asf. Steel is decent. Meh front, great back.
 
I'm loving the back & inside artwork!

SooOoo grateful we aren't getting his cropped in fist as the steelbook as I fully expected a lame design like that;p
 
There was very little Knuckles in a show called Knuckles...will probably still buy it if it gets a UK release because I'm a mug.

It’s my issue with the Sonic movie universe, they are alright films but the need to have them in the real world involving a lot of human characters was always a bizzare choice

Really wish they’d have set in completely on Mobius with iconic locations like Green Hill, Angel Island and the like.

Kind of wished they just made it completely animated using the Sonic Mania shorts animation or something like the original OVA film

Like the recent Mario movie, that was good.
I've always played Sonic more, because I had Sega Game Gear, with a backlit and color screen in the mid-90s, while GameBoy users were stuck in the 1940s with their abomination...

While I would normally agree with you the biggest things I remember from the first film were because it was set in the real world, the Sonic model redesign was a big PR win for the film and Jim Carrey. Take those away and I'm not sure there's anything especially notable left, certainly we've had a lot of animated Sonic stuff which never really broke into the mainstream.

Oh yeah Jim Carey is good as Robotnik but just as a personal preference if you could have an animated film and keep him as the voice then it would have been great.

Then again maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad live action if you had it on Mobius and the few human characters you do have like Robotnik is human while the others are CGI. We didn’t need to have Earth where Sonic and co are out of place but rather have it where humans would have been out of place in Mobius. Even the OVA film had some human characters although people like Sara were cat like, gave off that fantasy like world.

It’s funny because if they took inspiration from the Fleetway Sonic the Comic Jim Carey would have nailed the Ovi Kintobor look before he’s accidentally turned into Robotnik.
