Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Story

The story draws on elements of the 1993 game Sonic CD, which introduced Amy Rose and Metal Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ended with Amy saving Sonic from an army of Metal Sonics. Jeff Fowler has said the film will not be based solely on Sonic CD.

Release date and status

Voice recording began later that month. Brandon Trost is the cinematographer and Al LeVine the editor. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher of Original Film return as producers.
