#Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Team Celebrates Franchise’s 30th Anniversary Alongside Fans
“#Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Team Celebrates Franchise’s 30th Anniversary Alongside Fans”
Looking back at the 30th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog’s release, there are many who are celebrating what they consider to be the character’s birthday. That even includes voice actor Roger Craig Smith, who’s been serving as the official voice of Sonic in the video game series since 2010. Recalling playing the first game so many years ago, Smith still has trouble believing how he eventually came to be the actual hedgehog himself.
“No way a 15-year-old me could’ve imagined that 30 years later I’d be involved with this icon of entertainment,” Smith tweeted. “What an honor it’s been to play a small part in this massive (and still expanding) franchise. Happy 30th, Sonic the Hedgehog. Continued speed into the future!”

Happy 30th, @sonic_hedgehog.

Jeff Fowler, who directed the Sonic the Hedgehog movie and its upcoming sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2, posted a fun video to Twitter as well. Along with the rest of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 team, Fowler celebrates the character’s birthday by literally exploding a 30th birthday cake set up for Sonic.

From his official Twitter account, Sonic’s fellow video game legend Pac-Man also tweeted: “I can keep up…I can keep up…I can kee-I can’t keep up! Happy 30th birthday to the fastest guy around, Sonic the Hedgehog! You haven’t let old age slow you down!”

Following the smash success of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie when it was released last year, the franchise is more popular than ever. The official sequel, which brings back Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, recently wrapped filming as revealed by the director. It is set to be released in theaters by Paramount Pictures on April 8, 2022. In the meantime, fans can check out the original Sonic the Hedgehog movie now streaming on Hulu.
It didn’t turn out to be as nice as I hoped it would be.
Anyways, happy birthday Sonic the Hedgehog
Here’s to many more years of adventures.

A very happy 30th birthday to a speedy blue rodent I used to be a fan of back in high school and three of my years of college, Sonic the Hedgehog! I’m still up for playing Sonic Colours: Ultimate with my boyfriend soon and watching the sequel to his movie in 2022. #Sonic30thpic.twitter.com/YDvFf3Nq81
