Sonic the Hedgehog is a live-action/CGI film series by Paramount Pictures based on Sega's long-running video game franchise of the same name. While it's based on the games, it offers a significantly different take on its plot and setting.The movies (naturally) focus on Sonic (Ben Schwartz), an anthropomorphic hedgehog from another world whose Super-Speed made him a constant target for attack. When his guardian Longclaw sends him to Earth through a ring portal to protect him, he spends several years hiding and observing the denizens of Green Hills, Montana — in particular, sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) and his wife Maddie (Tika Sumpter). However, Tom does eventually meet him — but only after the military begins searching for the hedgehog, led with increasing fervor by the brilliant but arrogant Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Thus, Sonic gets intertwined with the Wachowskis' friends and family — as well as the other otherworldly animals that later appear on Earth, like the intelligent but young Tails (voiced once again by Colleen O'Shaughnessey) and the super-strong warrior Knuckles (Idris Elba).Coinciding with the announcement of the third film and the Knuckles miniseries in 2022, producer Toby Ascher stated that Paramount intends to create a "Sonic cinematic universe." | |

Adaptational Location Change | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (film series) (Franchise) / int_40b98588 | comment |
Adaptational Location Change: While the games take place in a Fictional Earth where Funny Animals and humans co-exist (with the animals living on islands and the humans living on continents according to TailsTube), the movies explicitly take place in the real Earth, with it and Sonic's world being treated as two separate planets like in Sonic X. Word of God statements have indicated that there are possibly even more inhabited planets in this universe than just those two, with it being unclear as to whether Tails is even from the same world as Sonic and Knuckles.invoked | |

Downplayed Trope | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (film series) (Franchise) / int_42c9f1ec | comment |
Downplayed in the films proper. While the films are still focused on Sonic and his friends, there is a far greater focus on the human characters compared to the games and other adaptations similar to the first two seasons of Sonic X, with Tom acting as the co-protagonist alongside Sonic in the first film. | |

Human-Focused Adaptation | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (film series) (Franchise) / int_68832e62 | comment |
Human-Focused Adaptation: Downplayed in the films proper. While the films are still focused on Sonic and his friends, there is a far greater focus on the human characters compared to the games and other adaptations similar to the first two seasons of Sonic X, with Tom acting as the co-protagonist alongside Sonic in the first film. Averted in Sonic Drone Home, which is entirely focused on Team Sonic and the titular drone, with nary a human in sight. Played straight in Knuckles around half-way point, which, despite the title, becomes more focused on Wade and his family than on Knuckles, who becomes more of a Supporting Protagonist. Justified, as Knuckles, being a Paramount Plus TV show, has a lower budget than the movies, meaning they can't use him as much due to costs. | |

Ultimate Universe | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (film series) (Franchise) / int_7b90899b | comment |
Ultimate Universe: The film series acts as this to the Sonic the Hedgehog game series, being a heavily distilled and streamlined take on the Sonic mythos that borrows many plot points from the games (particularly from the sequel and onwards), while also deviating heavily from them in many areas, often drastically so. The films are also set in a more grounded setting compared to the games. | |
