3 Things Parents Should Know about ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’

Sonic is a talented blue hedgehog alien who makes friends wherever he goes. His loyal sidekick Tails admires Sonic's courage. His two best earthly friends, Tom and Maddie, have virtually adopted him and treat him like their own child. Sonic also defeats his former enemy, Knuckles, who now considers Sonic a trusted ally. And today, this quartet of Sonic's friends are joining together to celebrate Sonic's arrival on Earth with a party complete with games, songs, and desserts. “The day you came to this planet is the day our lives changed forever,” Tom tells him. “We've become a family,” Maddie added. Unfortunately, this fun party doesn't last long. That's because “evil” aliens are roaming Tokyo, threatening everything in their path, and law enforcement needs Team Sonic's help on the scene. Is it Godzilla? King Kong? As Sonic shockingly discovers, it's another hedgehog, a giant creature named Shadow. Incredibly, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Sonic. He is also – at first glance – even more powerful. Can the Shadow be stopped? The new Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (PG) movie tells the story of Sonic, Tails (a fox), and Knuckles (an echidna) as they search for answers and help on new missions. Masu.
