Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Trailer Shows Chao Garden

The second Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie trailer is here, and it starts with a Chao Garden Easter egg. The over two minute long video then goes on to showcase returning characters like Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, who appeared in the first and second films, as well as newcomer Shadow.

Instead of a traditional Chao Garden, the one appearing in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie trailer is a Chuck E. Cheese style restaurant and experience with the Chao appearing as people in giant costumes. Of the first three Chao mascots we see, there’s a standard Neutral one between what look like Fly and Power types. 

After that, the main plot points come through. We see Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles captured by Dr. Robotnik and Gerald Robotnik and about to be destroyed by Shadow. It’s then that they use a ring to reach Tom and Maddie Wachowski again. 

Here’s the full trailer:

Now that the release date is drawing near, we’re learning lots more about the film. For example, we know the Japanese cast for the movie now. The biggest reveal there is that Shadow the Hedgehog is played by Toshiyuki Morikawa.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be coming to movie theaters on December 20, 2024.
