Following its release for purchase on streaming services and digital stores, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie is available now on Blu-ray and DVD, while it can also now be rented on digital stores. Previously, the only way to watch Sonic at home was to purchase it outright.
Sonic’s Blu-ray and DVD version comes with a series of bonus features, including deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and commentary from director Jeff Fowler and Sonic voice actor Ben Schwartz. There is also a bonus feature called “Building Robotnik with Jim Carrey,” featuring Jim Carrey talking about his process of becoming the villain.
You can see a full rundown of bonus features below, along with one of the deleted scenes featuring a baby Sonic and unfinished CG. It’s a trip.

We gave the film an 8/10 in our Sonic the Hedgehog review, calling it “a light, funny movie, and while it definitely skews young, longtime Sonic fans should have just as much fun finally seeing the Blue Blur on the big screen.”
Sega has a lot in store for Sonic beyond the movie. Sega will release news about Sonic on the 20th day of each month in 2020, so we should learn more very soon.
