Shadow is the most compelling character in Sonic lore for sure but he is not more popular than Sonic let's be real. I'm 44 and been playing Sonic since the 1st one came out. Shadow started strong in Sonic Adventure 2 but they kinda fumbled him over the years. Dream come true to see him brought back to the forefront this year both in movies and games but Sonic is still the most popular.
Took my dad to see Sonic 2 because he knew I played the games,and he had a fun time watching it with me. So the films are fun for both fans and casual audiences.
For outsiders like Grace, this film is based on “Sonic Adventure 2”, which is widely considered the best of the story based sonic games. It also has amazing music that I hope we get to hear in the movie! :D
Grace. Tails is a fox, not a squirrel. And he is, in fact, a technical genius. He is capable of building and flying his own plane. I'm pretty sure he could fly a helicopter if he wanted to, funny enough.
No problem. His intelligence actually rivals Eggman (Carrey). Maybe do some research on these characters. You'll find that they have more depth to them than these movies give them credit for. In some cases their stories get pretty dark/deep. I just don't know how they would translate in these type of movies meant for kids.
I grew up with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube , and the Keanu Reeves Shadow is such a perfect modern incarnation of the character based on this trailer. I saw the previous two on streaming, but I might have to watch this one in cinemas
If Shadow is anything like his backstory in the games, this movie can go VERY dark compared to first two. I just hope we get Amy and Rouge soon, maybe even Cream and the Chao. :)
As a lifelong Sonic fan, I’m happy to see new followers like Grace actually excited about the Sonic movies. All will be well in the universe after all. 😌
Thanks for the reaction. Grace, Tails is a two-tail Fox, not a squirrel and he's the brain of Team Sonic. Now Shadow looks great and Keanu is killing it.
@@axx012 He plays a dirtbag anarchist in the game Cyberpunk2077. I would say that counts for a non-hero character. This looks amazing to me and he will play off Idris really well.
@@axx012 I never said anything about an antagonist... ? Shadow isn’t an antagonist..? ... ? Is Bucky Barnes an actual antagonist? no. he is not. “evil” in comparison to the roles he usually takes on. He has a similar character type in many of his roles ... as does many character actors. . .? You know Keanu also isn’t an actual hedgehog... ...right?
Something you and the casuals don't know is that Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were a couple of the best games ever made, rich with lore and story. This is only the tip of the iceberg. The emeralds, the chaos racing (pronounced ch-ah-ohs), Big, Amy, Rogue, there's just so much to keep exploring. I hope we get a dozen movies, tbh.
I've been a Sonic fan since '92 when I played SONIC 2 on my original MEGA DRIVE (which I still have btw, and is curiously just behind me right now, on top of my bed, because some room cleaning is required). BUT, for some reason the previous movies didn't catch my interest but this one does!! It might be Keanu. And the production value seems to be bigger. This trailer just looks really good though.
Shadow has a very tragic backstory to the point one game was rated teen because he used a gun and he lost a loved one So prepare for the tears cause shadow is and always be the darkest story in this franchise
@@amazinlynn3358 oooh! I hope so! Specially if they show Amy hearing about Sonic and friends’ heroic adventures and she developing a crush on him/wanting to meet him. They could also introduce Metal Sonic once Eggman has Sonic’s quill so that could connect with even more with their story. As for Rouge… emeralds = motivations
I've been a lifelong Sonic fan and so is my brother so seeing this movie is extremely exciting. Will definitely be taking my niece and brother to watch this movie
I know how its all going to go down: 1. Shadow fights Sonic, Knuckes & Tails and wrecks all 3 of them. 2. The three go to eggman for help 3. Eggman tricks Sonic & backstabs Shadow 4. Sonic & Shadow team up, go Super & defeat eggman
I'm a casual Sonic fan, but these films have never disappointed me. Meanwhile, I'm not sure if the Lion King is a franchise level brand. And playing around with the history of beloved characters has gone wrong way more often than it's gone right.
Amy should have appeared by now. Its looking like an after credits scene, and Paramount is looking at a lot more than the standard trilogy 🙂. Will they include her mallet weapon 😂? Anything past 500M is a win in my book. We're not talking Mario here 😂...there was actually a brief point and time where Sonic was more popular than Mario, the Sega Genesis competed with the Nintendo system, but... To put it in perspective...the two Sonic movies grossed over 700M total. The Super Mario Brothers movie doubled that amount on the FIRST debut movie 😂...wow... Mario videogames dust Sonic games in sales. So it's two different ballpark. Anywhere from 5-600M would be satisfactory for Sonic 3. Plus...I dunno what people are seeing, that are underestimating Mufasa 🙂...I see another grand Disney family production that will print money, and be at or near one billion.
Hope to see Amy and Rouge appear by the end of the movie. Also hope we get Metal-Sonic in the fourth movie, like Metal-Sonic being like Ultron and has an army.
Sonic walked so Shadow could run. The height of sonic Fandom skyrocketed in the 2000s because of shadow. He surpassed sonic and people will show up to see the shadow movie ♡
OH HELL YEAH!!! These Sonic movies get better and better, and I am here for this. I haven't played Sonic since the 90s, so for me, I just want to have fun watching these Sonic movies. LFG!!!!
Shadow can teleport and run super fast. Sonic is faster than Shadow. The only way Shadow can keep up with Sonic is because of his air shoes which he can skate along surfaces.
This makes me actually want to get into the Sonic film universe lol. I used to play the game but it never seemed to appeal to me. But this looks really good!
The word "fun" is so important when taking kids to the movies. Their attention span is about 5 seconds. You don't need a deep story, you need a fun story with good pacing. Sonic looks that way.
I’ve been a Sonic fan for years now. Loved the previous movies, but this might just be the best one yet. I think the first movie got casual fans, and then got deeper into gamer territory. Now with this, we’re in the peak point for all fans. December can’t come fast enough!
So excited!!! I played Sonic when I was a kid & teen. I enjoyed the first two movies but Shadow was always one of my favorite characters when i was a kid. I can't wait for this!💥
To back what others here said. I was a hardcore Sonic fan as a kid but for a long time I forgotten about the franchise until I discovered Shadow. Since then it has always been on the back of my mind and one of the main reasons I keep going back and forth with the franchise. Even his own game in many aspects has been a source of inspiration for it's design in various aspects so I think it's safe to assume that this movie is gonna lead by far the theatres.
Shadow is gonna bring in a whole new slew of audience members that LOVE his character
Super pumped for this matchup. ❤
"Keanu! you are a national treasure." - Sonic the Hedgehog
Isn't Keanu supporting Israel massacring the Palestinian people?
@@Obrienjob98 Holy shit, is he? I didn't know that. That changes my opinion of him somewhat.
Now he's even more of a national treasure.
I am SO ready to hear Keanu shout "Chaos Control!"
it’s gonna be so badass i can already think about how it’s gonna sound like i love it
One thing people from the outside don’t realize, is shadow is more popular to fans than Sonic is
Actually real
FACTS
Really? I think they are equal
This
Shadow is the most compelling character in Sonic lore for sure but he is not more popular than Sonic let's be real. I'm 44 and been playing Sonic since the 1st one came out. Shadow started strong in Sonic Adventure 2 but they kinda fumbled him over the years. Dream come true to see him brought back to the forefront this year both in movies and games but Sonic is still the most popular.
Mufasa is capitalizing on our nostalgia
Sonic respects our nostalgia
Sega has been top tier with lore respect lately!
@@VariaIVnot with the fail cast
My 9 year old Grandson just flipped out watching it. He cant wait.
But not you I assume lol
@@Andyroar1 he must love Sonic games
Robotnik's grandpa at the end, made me laugh out loud. That came out of nowhere, and Jim Carrey playing both was hilarious.
Grandfather, not dad.
If you’ve played sonic adventure 2 (this storyline comes from it) you know Gerald ROBOTNIK was gonna be here
@@kevincmejiaTo be fair we all thought he would be dead.
Took my dad to see Sonic 2 because he knew I played the games,and he had a fun time watching it with me.
So the films are fun for both fans and casual audiences.
Yeah, I think they have found the perfect balance!!!
All these Characters are lore appropriate.
This looks freakin amazing sorry Mufasa but nobody will overtake King Shadow. 👑
That movie is gonna be trash compared to sonic LOL
Oh man you already know this movie is gonna kill it this holiday season!! ❤
I hate Disney for having it come out the same day
God King of the Hedged Hogs.
😲 The "Akira" motorcycle move 🤯🤯🤯
Grace went from “December is pretty loaded, not sure if Sonic could compete” to “Sonic is a must see lets see what movie i am dropping.”
I will never stop loving Jim Carrey. and Keanu Reeves too? fucking legends. this looks too good.
Just when you thought Jim Carry had retired 😆
He does the opposite thing we'd expect and stars in a third installment for the first time ever. :D
I think he said this is his last movie. What a career.
Paramount: "You want another Sonic movie?"
Jim Carrey: "Of course I want another Sonic movie. I LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE THEM!"
Fax
LOL.
For outsiders like Grace, this film is based on “Sonic Adventure 2”, which is widely considered the best of the story based sonic games. It also has amazing music that I hope we get to hear in the movie! :D
Grace. Tails is a fox, not a squirrel.
And he is, in fact, a technical genius. He is capable of building and flying his own plane. I'm pretty sure he could fly a helicopter if he wanted to, funny enough.
Thank you for the intel!
@@BeyondTheTrailerOmg.🤦🏻
🤓
The respect for Mr. Miles "Tails" Prower!!! 👏🏼🦊🌀💜
No problem. His intelligence actually rivals Eggman (Carrey). Maybe do some research on these characters. You'll find that they have more depth to them than these movies give them credit for. In some cases their stories get pretty dark/deep. I just don't know how they would translate in these type of movies meant for kids.
I grew up with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube , and the Keanu Reeves Shadow is such a perfect modern incarnation of the character based on this trailer. I saw the previous two on streaming, but I might have to watch this one in cinemas
😳 Mufasa who? I’m with Sonic!
"Is that squirrel driving a helicopter" I almost pissed my pants lol haha
Sigh...🤦
@@hopegalaxylol she just doesn’t know the franchise like that, she’s a casual fan. What’s the problem?
my favourite from Grace today 🤭🤣
@@DaGuyTy1she should at least know that Tails isn’t a squirrel, they say he’s a fox a dozen times in the movie
If Shadow is anything like his backstory in the games, this movie can go VERY dark compared to first two. I just hope we get Amy and Rouge soon, maybe even Cream and the Chao. :)
Tails isn't a squirrel, he's a fox, but he is a skilled pilot 🦊
He still sucks
@@solidsnake8331 no he doesn't.
Loving the enthusiasm from even someone who doesn’t play the games!!
I have never played a sonic game in my life but DAMN this movie looks so good! Casuals who have seen both Sonic movies are they worth watching?
Yes, as someone so steeped in the lore. I can assure you this will be an amazing banger both ways!
I have enjoyed the first two movie just because of Jim Carrey’s performance. It is such much fun watching him as Robotnick.
As someone who grew up with Sonic Adventure 2, I am so so excited for this movie!
As a lifelong Sonic fan, I’m happy to see new followers like Grace actually excited about the Sonic movies. All will be well in the universe after all. 😌
Original Sega player here!
Sonic was THE game in the 90’s
2:10 He is literally the opposite of Homelander lmfao 💀 Homelander is a little boy compared to characters with actual power
Bro he's a man child as soldier boy said...😂
Plus he was created before Homelander.
Thanks for the reaction. Grace, Tails is a two-tail Fox, not a squirrel and he's the brain of Team Sonic. Now Shadow looks great and Keanu is killing it.
“evil” Keanu?!
Something I never knew I needed!!!!
Does it really matter his acting range hasn't moved at all. But he has played a antagonist in a former film when he was very young.
@@axx012 He plays a dirtbag anarchist in the game Cyberpunk2077. I would say that counts for a non-hero character. This looks amazing to me and he will play off Idris really well.
@@SlimShayD But thats not an antagonist role.
@@axx012 I never said anything about an antagonist... ?
Shadow isn’t an antagonist..?
... ?
Is Bucky Barnes an actual antagonist?
no.
he is not.
“evil” in comparison to the roles he usually takes on.
He has a similar character type in many of his roles ... as does many character actors. . .?
You know Keanu also isn’t an actual hedgehog... ...right?
@@Persephone_Personified he is in this film. Doesn't have to be evil but he is the antagonist for this film

LOVE Keanu's voice as Shadow, would love if they made a Shadow mini-series after this
So happy to see Jim Carrey putting his retirement on hold for this. My son and I can’t wait. The story seems so much stronger this time around
Tails (that squirrel) is an ACE PILOT THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Why, Grace? Why?🤦🏻♀️
"What makes YOU go see these films?" Nostalgia. I played the original Sonic trilogy on Genesis & both Sonic Adventure games on Gamecube.
I didn't go to the cinema to watch the other two, but I will go for this one.
2:21 She did Tails dirty
Shadow has a very tragic backstory to the point one game was rated teen because he used a gun and he lost a loved one
So prepare for the tears cause shadow is and always be the darkest story in this franchise
Damn doesn’t even know tails is a pilot. Where is the respect lol
Yep. My son and I will be seeing Sonic 3 rather than Mufasa. We both loved the first 2 movies.
I was a kid when the Shadow the Hedgehog video game came out. His fighting in this movie looks IDENTICAL to that game.
Is nice to see casual audiences enjoy Sonic
I wish we got Rouge the Bat and Amy Rose as well in this movie. Still looks good though.
They're keeping those 2 for Sonic 4 haha
You never know. We might get a post credit scene for the next one with them.
@@amazinlynn3358 oooh! I hope so! Specially if they show Amy hearing about Sonic and friends’ heroic adventures and she developing a crush on him/wanting to meet him. They could also introduce Metal Sonic once Eggman has Sonic’s quill so that could connect with even more with their story. As for Rouge… emeralds = motivations
Agree!
They saved them for 4th movie
As a sonic fan I am tearing up. And I didn’t expect Keanu’s shadow to be so good 😭😭😭
2:19 the fact that you called tails a squirrel lol 😂
My sons won't sit through mufasa, but Sonic looks more light-hearted, so they'll enjoy it more.
This is my most anticipated movie of the entire year. Cannot wait!!! ALL HAIL SHADOW!!!❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
Keanu is a fantastic voice for Shadow! I had no idea! Great Stiff, as always!
I’m so excited. Shadow is a very interesting character. Kinda like Loki in some ways
More like Venom.
Ooh that’s better
More like eddie venom ,they even give shadow a wings too like eddie venom in the recent games
I've been a lifelong Sonic fan and so is my brother so seeing this movie is extremely exciting. Will definitely be taking my niece and brother to watch this movie
I remember as a kid playing the Shadow Xbox game. With his entire backstory. One of my favorite games
"Sonic ran so Super Mario could jump" what an amazing opening line, Grace!
wow, I'm impressed! I haven't even watched the second one
I know how its all going to go down:
1. Shadow fights Sonic, Knuckes & Tails and wrecks all 3 of them.
2. The three go to eggman for help
3. Eggman tricks Sonic & backstabs Shadow
4. Sonic & Shadow team up, go Super & defeat eggman
Yeah it almost writes itself lol but kids don't care
what i would love is for Robotnik to betray shadow and sonic and introduce metal sonic.
I'm a casual Sonic fan, but these films have never disappointed me. Meanwhile, I'm not sure if the Lion King is a franchise level brand. And playing around with the history of beloved characters has gone wrong way more often than it's gone right.
The lion king is not going to do anything compared to this. Hardcore fan but I still love to see it :)

Also hope we get Metal-Sonic in the fourth movie, like Metal-Sonic being like Ultron and has an army.
Sonic CD will most likely be the 4th movie adaptation. Meaning, we get Amy and Metal Sonic. I don't know about Rouge, though.
Sonic walked so Shadow could run. The height of sonic Fandom skyrocketed in the 2000s because of shadow. He surpassed sonic and people will show up to see the shadow movie ♡
This one feels the most like classic Sonic.
Sonic 3 will make the trilogy a billon dollars altogether
I’m going to go see this because shadow was the coolest growing up
im not even a huge sonic fan but ive seen these movies in theaters and im most excited for this one!!! looks like such a fun time with a great cast
The trailer was fantastic. I can’t wait to watch it
LOL IS THAT A SQUIRREL DRIVING A HELICOPTER?!
OH HELL YEAH!!! These Sonic movies get better and better, and I am here for this. I haven't played Sonic since the 90s, so for me, I just want to have fun watching these Sonic movies. LFG!!!!
Was he teleporting, or was he just moving so fast it looked like he was?
Shadow can teleport and run super fast. Sonic is faster than Shadow. The only way Shadow can keep up with Sonic is because of his air shoes which he can skate along surfaces.
No they are equal in speed @@adonaibaptiste4803
@adonaibaptiste4803 also thats never stated anywhere. They are stated multiple times to be equal in speed
Chaos control is giving him the ability to teleport
Teleportation
"Is that squirrel driving a helicopter" Grace, Tails is a pilot 😆😆🤣🤣
It's amazing that channels like this have been around for ages all while breaking terms of service and copywrite law by being a reaction channel.
Tails and Shadow have always been my favorites
3:55 Akira Slide
I am so happy you are doing a trailer reaction for Sonic. I was super impressed with the trailer. Christmas movie for the family.
Looks like I will be doing a double feature of Sonic and Mufasa
LOL IS THAT A SQUIRREL FLYING A HELICOPTER?!
This makes me actually want to get into the Sonic film universe lol. I used to play the game but it never seemed to appeal to me. But this looks really good!

god damn it, this film won't do great, Grace's approval is menacing.
LMAO GRACE THINKING TAILS IS A SQUIRREL!
Ooooh, cant wait to see this movie 🎥🍿🤩 Thanks for sharing Grace!!! 😁
I love seeing 90s Jim Carrey back in these Sonic movies-he is having a lot of fun
I was so hyped when they teased shadow at the end of sonic 2. Can't wait to see this in theaters
Hopefully they show Amy and Rouge, because they need that mix of guy and girl characters to bring the appeal for all the demographic.
HE DID THE AKIRA MOVE!
This movie is going to feed families! If anyone knows Shadow. Get ready for a dark movie.
First of tails is a fox and he is canonically a pilot
CHAOS CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been a Sonic fan for years now. Loved the previous movies, but this might just be the best one yet. I think the first movie got casual fans, and then got deeper into gamer territory. Now with this, we’re in the peak point for all fans. December can’t come fast enough!
Sure why not, another hit in December with team Sonic Vs The Evil Clone.
Tails is a pre-teen fox, Grace 😂
You wearing blue is perfect
So excited!!! I played Sonic when I was a kid & teen. I enjoyed the first two movies but Shadow was always one of my favorite characters when i was a kid. I can't wait for this!💥
This trailer was so good! It got me hyped and excited. It comes out on my birthday too! 🔥🔥🔥
That looks very strong! Really hope we get to see Amy and Rogue 🥺😭
I’m surprised that Amy hasn’t at least shown up yet. I want to see her smash stuff with her Giant hammer!
It was fun watching an entire movie in 3 minutes!
To back what others here said. I was a hardcore Sonic fan as a kid but for a long time I forgotten about the franchise until I discovered Shadow. Since then it has always been on the back of my mind and one of the main reasons I keep going back and forth with the franchise.

Not really a Sonic fan, but Shadow?? Oh yeah, count me in!
Ahhh sooo good, sooo excited🔥😆 This is about to be up there as one of Hollywood’s best, most solid trilogies.
This looked incredible and I’ve never seen any of them to date. I’m definitely adding this movie to my December list of movies to watch
