We actually had the idea pretty early, during storyboarding. We love doing these teasers, and with Sonic having 30-plus years of games, there are so many amazing characters.
It would be reckless and irresponsible to not have had at least some story conversations - you don't want to just put a character in there and then wake up...
With Shadow, we knew by bringing him in at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, that was going to more or less commit us to the Sonic Adventure 2 storyline...
Our goal with the movies is to honor the characters and stories while also introducing new fan-favorites for the audience to love.
