It only takes 8 minutes to take a break from your work-from-home schedule and watch the entire childhood of a a furry blue speedster. If you ever wanted to see what Sonic looked like as a baby hedgehog living on an alien planet, you’re in luck, because the opening 8 minutes ofSonic the Hedgehogshows you just that, in all his chubby-cheeked glory.
The clip, debuted by Fandango, which is one of the platforms on which you may purchase the movie on-demand, chronicles the early life of Sonic and shows how he ends up near the small town of Green Hills, Montana. It’s way more backstory than Sonic the Hedgehog was ever afforded in the video games, which never really question much of anything. But this is an origin movie, which means you’ll get lots of Sonic riding around in cars withJames Marsdenand very few scenes of Sonic actually running across the San Francisco skyline.
