After some very big bumps, the Sonic The Hedgehog film series has been a success since the first film was released in 2020. It comes from just the right combination of writing and casting that gave the films just enough edge for parents to latch onto while the kids watched the colorful CGI characters do battle with the evil Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Now, there is a live-action/animated limited series spinoff, featuring Idris Elba's warrior Knuckles the Echidna.
