Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble

 Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble  is an 2010 American live-action CGI animated hybrid action film that is a sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie. The film is directed by Brad Bird and produced by Peter Liguori with a screeplay by Kevin Williamson. Taking place two years after the first film, Robotnik revives Mecha Sonic Mark II, a robot he created after taking over West Side Island, and Metal Sonic to help dominate the world again while Sonic, Jeff, and the others try to stop them as they find out that there were eight Chaos Emeralds and seven of them can give you unlimited power, while Robotnik also plans to launch a space station, the Death Egg. The film stars Michael Cera, Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, Christina Ricci, Charlie Day, Tim Curry, and Gary A. Hecker.

In 2007, a unknown Fox employee leaked a contract for the first film online, with the contract stating that if the film was a box-office success, there would be sequels. That Fox employee was later fired, but when the first film grossed $644 million on a budget of $207 million, Sega and 20th Century Fox announced the development of a second movie. Spike Lee did not return to work on other projects, and Bird took his place. Gary A. Hecker, who voiced Robotnik Robo in the first film, voiced Mecha Sonic in this movie, as Bird though Hecker's voice was "perfect" for Mecha Sonic. Production started in October 2008, only a few months after the film started and was completed on March 17, 2010.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble was released on October 10, 2010 and received mixed reviews, compared to the first film, with critics praising the animation, acting, visual effects, and the return of Mecha Sonic since Sonic and Knuckles, but the screenplay, despite being an improvement, runtime, and mostly "bad" jokes and filler were criticized. Despite this, the film grossed $823 million on a budget of $211 million, making it the fourth highest grossing film of 2010.
