Sonic the Hedgehog: Episode Metal

Sonic the Hedgehog: Episode Metal (released in the United Kingdom as Sonic Adventure 3 and internationally as Sonic Adventure III) is a 2011 American adventure sci-fi comedy film directed by Louis Leterrier, produced by Walter F. Parkes and Andrew Kosove and written by Steven Zillian and Aaron Sorkin. It is the third installment in the original Sonic the Hedgehog film series, based on the video game franchise published by Sega, following Sonic the Hedgehog: Battle (2009). It stars voice actors, Ben Schwartz, Kate Higgins, Dwayne Johnson, Marc Biagi, Brad Hawkins, Rob Paulsen, Jim Carrey, Tyler Perry, and Frank Welker. The film continues as Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose, and Team Chaotix attempt to save the world from Dr. Robotnik and Metal Sonic.

Two sequels to Sonic the Hedgehog were conceived in July 2006, with Spielberg and Bay developing a story arc that would span both films. Live-action filming took place in Canada and California for exterior locations and Arizona for interior locations from February to July 2010, with a one-month break in March. Post-production on the film continued for several months afterwards to add in visual effects and characters. The film's budget was reportedly between £75 and 100 million ($150–200 million). Warner Bros. released the film in Tokyo on October 27, 2011, in Miami on November 26, 2011 and in North America on November 30, both in conventional and IMAX theatres; it is the first Sonic film to be released in IMAX 3D.

It grossed approximately $598 million worldwide, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2011; it was at the time the highest-grossing film in the series and currently the third-highest-grossing film of the franchise. Critical reception was mixed, with praise for its action but criticism for its lack of depth.
