- Description
Sonic the Hedgehog would trade his ability to run faster than anyone else in the world (or any world he happens to be in) for a true friend in a heartbeat. He does visit the good-natured small-town sheriff Tom (James Marsden) from his forest refuge, but that doesn't really count, because Tom hasn't noticed Sonic yet, given his speed. And Sonic tries not to leave any traces of his presence, because he knows that then they would come after him. Who? Everyone! But even the most cautious hedgehog can make a small mistake, which in his case was a temporary power outage across half of America. The helpless and concerned government hires the most capable genius, the slightly crazy Doctor Robotnik (Jim Carrey), to uncover the causes of the colossal outage. And he very soon picks up Sonic's trail. Sonic suddenly realizes that even the fastest legs may not be enough for a successful escape, especially since he has lost the magic rings that allowed him to travel quickly between different worlds. The only one who knows their current location is his "buddy," Sheriff Tom, who is not exactly rushing to rescue the alien hedgehog from the tireless and resourceful Doctor Robotnik. But then, like a true protector of the law, he realizes that the weak must be defended, and things start to happen...
