Following a brief theatrical run, Sonic The Hedgehog, otherwise known as The Blue Blur, is available for fans to bring home on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital.

After a lengthy delay to fix Sonic’s look, a lengthy theatrical run wasn’t meant to be.  The film ended up getting an early digital release at the end of March to make up for the brief run.  We certainly don’t know what will happen with theaters this year or if audiences will come back in strong numbers.  In any event, the theatrical run took in just shy of $150 million before theaters were ordered to close.

Synopsis:

Powered with incredible speed, Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz), aka The Blue Blur, embraces his new home on Earth. That is, until he accidentally knocks out the power grid and sparks the attention of super-uncool evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Now it’s super-villain vs. super-sonic in an all-out race across the globe to stop Robotnik from using his unique power for world domination. Sonic teams up with The Donut Lord, aka Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), to save the planet in this action-packed hit that’s fun for the whole family.
