[edit]

In celebration of World Bee Day on May 20, Sonic decided to host a "Watch Party" of Bumblebee, though he fast-forwarded through most of the film due to his need to quickly process information. The appearance of giant robots in the film led him to believe it was the creation of Robotnik. He appreciated the film's action scenes and the characters' adherence to cranial safety, though he worried for the Watson family's ability to pay for the damages incurred to their home by Bumblebee. Ultimately, he darted off before the film could reach its ending.[1] The San Francisco Observer later wrote an article about a clash between Sonic and one of Robotnik's giant robots in Colorado, with many of the city's residents still upset about the damages caused there by a previous battle between the two.[2]

Notes

[edit]
"Where am I? What year is it? Is Cliffjumper president?"
  • In Japan, Sonic was originally voiced by Takeshi Kusao in several arcade games. In English-speaking markets, Sam Vincent provided his singing in Sonic Underground, while he was voiced by Ben Schwartz in the Paramount Pictures film franchise, Deven Mack in Sonic Prime, and Roger Craig Smith in every other game and media speaking role since 2010, which is a lot.
  • Sonic's appearance in the "Watch Party" advertisement (seen at right) uses stock promotional CGI from the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog film. Prior to its release, a trailer for the film was advertised on the Transformers film series' official Twitter and Instagram accounts, and the Bumblebee Movie account continued to promote its sequel.[3][4]
  • The Observer article is inaccurate, as the battle in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film took place in Montana, not Colorado.
