''Sonic the Hedgehog'' is a Creator/{{Paramount}} live-action/CGI film series. While based on [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog the long-running video game franchise]], it offers a significantly different take on its plot and setting.
The movies (naturally) focus on Sonic (Creator/BenSchwartz), an anthropomorphic hedgehog from another world whose SuperSpeed made him a constant target for attack. When his guardian Longclaw sends him to Earth through [[ThinkingUpPortals a ring portal]] to protect him, he spends several years hiding and observing the denizens of Green Hills, Montana -- in particular, sheriff Tom Wachowski (Creator/JamesMarsden) and his wife Maddie (Creator/TikaSumpter). However, Tom does eventually meet him -- but only after the military begins searching for the hedgehog, led with increasing fervor by the brilliant but arrogant Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Creator/JimCarrey). Thus, Sonic gets intertwined with the Wachowskis' friends and family -- as well as the ''other'' otherworldly animals that later appear on Earth, like the intelligent but young Tails (Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey) and the [[SuperStrength super-strong]] warrior Knuckles (Creator/IdrisElba).
Coinciding with the announcement of the third film and the ''Knuckles'' miniseries in 2022, producer Toby Ascher [[https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/were-creating-a-sonic-cinematic-universe-says-movie-producer stated in 2022]] that Paramount intends to create a "Sonic [[SharedUniverse cinematic universe]]."
