‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ star says franchise is made by fans for fans

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 follows up a cinematic take on a gaming franchise that managed to become the highest-grossing game film of all time. Ben Schwartz said it’s because Sonic fans make the movies.

“Also, these movies are made by fans. Jeff is obsessed with Sonic. [James and I have] played video games our whole lives … so we really are attached to the characters and we want to make people proud. I think the biggest thing is we come [to] it from a personal standpoint. If you watch these movies, there’s relationships; the idea of a Tom and Sonic and the heart between that. So, as James very brilliantly pointed out, it’s not just like, ‘okay, this is in the video game, there you go – have that, have this and just action, action, action,’ it’s you being attached to the characters, you finding the characters funny, you rooting for the characters.”
