Did you grow up with Sonic? I think all of us, at some point in our lives, had an experience with Sonic the Hedgehog! It is so exciting for me who has grown up with all aspects to see Sonic the Hedgehog 3 come to theaters and soon to our homes.
I was given the opportunity to not only screen the film but also to chat with a few of the characters in the film. Watching Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was so fun as the films just keep getting better and better in my opinion!
