Sonic The Hedgehog

When I was younger I was a fan of SONIC UNDERGROUND  and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. The moment I heard about this movie I knew I had to watch it and I was not disappointed.
    This movie is about Sonic (Voiced by Ben Schwartz) an alien who fled his home planet and   came to earth. He was on earth for a long time he loved it here and it became home to him but he had to live in secret so that he wouldn't  be discovered and he was lonely. Eventually he was discovered and he has to escape the evil Dr Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey) . Sonic turns to local sheriff Tom Wachiwski (James Marsden) for hope. In the process, Tom and Sonic form a bond of friendship which helped them defeat Robotnik.

       The focal point of this movie is friendship.  Sonic was lonely and he was desperate to become part of the human society. Sonic's character is  very relatable to kids because he behaves like a kid. He can't keep quiet, keep still, he gets bored,  and he just wants a friend. On the other hand, Tom had a wife and people who loved him in his town Green Hills, Montana but he wants to relocate to San Francisco.  He was willing to leave his friends because he felt that the town was small and holding him back from achieving great things in life.

        Sonic values the kind of family and friends that Tom had. I always say  value your friends and family but this movie along with the Corona virus pandemic made me realise that we should also value little things . People in some countries that have recorded high rates of cases can't go out easily and those that go out are scared.  The supermarket are almost empty and items we take for granted before mean a lot now. I'm grateful to God that it has  not gotten to that extent in my country Nigeria.
 Stay safe my dear reader I love you but God loves you most.
