at the end of the day "CARTOON CHARACTER FALLS INTO OUR WORLD" is one of the worst plots because nothing beats the Roger Rabbit/Detective Pikachu approach of just making them part of the world fabric already to a) skip the bad science and b) skip the GASP :o faces— Ewafina Pekkala (@EwaSR) November 12, 2019

The only acceptable employment of the 'cartoon character manifests in the real world' plot is as a showcase for the sheer existential terror/dread which would be stoked by said character's manifestation. Can hope ever exist in a world where Garfield walks among us draped in something which approximates flesh? No. No, it cannot.

This is one of those films - like *Star Trek: The Motion Picture* and *Fant4stic* - where the behind-the-scenes story is (probably) more interesting than the actual film. Ignoring the horrible design, the original trailer felt flat and looked cheap. The pacing was off. It looked empty. This is vastly better because it actually has some characterisation, but it still feels like a low-budget film. The set design reeks of the early 2000s.
Is the shot of Sonic on the bed, in the towel, meant to be romantic? It feels odd to pair Sonic with just one person. Does the main human good guy have an ex-wife? Will Sonic help him get back in touch with her? Why did the studio decide to make the human good guy a middle-aged man? I'm not complaining, I just wonder why the studio decided to do that. The human good guys are usually a young man and a woman, or kids.
Why a single middle-aged man? Is Sonic meant to be the child he never had, or a surrogate middle-aged friend? Is this *Planes, Trains, and Automobiles* or *ET* or what?
Will Sonic die? Will his buddy will bring him back to life?

Sonic is not actually real, he is just a figment of this man's imagination which he tragically realizes about two seconds after drilling into his mustached neighbor's skull in search of Chaos Emeralds

This is pretty much OG Howard the Duck, where the existential terror/dread was felt by the character itself.

recent apropos of nothing text with a friend of mine:
growing up my sisters and I had hedgehogs as pets so I am esp fond of them. My father bought them for us from a black market Amish dealer behind a long John silvers restaurant and they did nothing but birth babies. Their in-home population at one point hit a critical mass such that the mother consumed the heads of about half a dozen runty ones. V. Formative experience for us

I stopped at a gas station on the way home after the holidays and, while digging through a bin of cut-rate DVDs, I happened upon a sun-bleached VHS copy of this movie. At first, I felt a sense of deep existential despair toward this thing that should not be, but as I held it in my hand, a warmth washed up my arm and conferred a sense of comfort unlike any I had previously experienced. The Sonic videocassette and I are one now, bonded, an amalgam of flesh and plastic sent forth to deliver the word of Sonic unto the heathen masses. Gotta go fast, my children. Gotta go fast.

We got a sequel.

Well look, they wouldn't make a second one if the first was anything less than stellar. What more do you need to know, really.

I didn't think the first one was unredeemable to be honest, it sort of hung together well enough. Carrey's level of overacting was just about pitched right, Sonic was just annoying enough, Marsden competent playing against a bit of greenscreen.
A solid 5.5/10. A sequel could go either way.
