The third film entry of a video game franchise tops the DVD releases for the week of April 15.

"Sonic the Hedgehog 3": Team Sonic must unite to take on not one but two Dr. Robotniks (Jim Carrey) in order to save the world in the latest cinematic spin for the beloved Sega character. Ben Schwartz again voices Sonic, with Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog.

"The thing about the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' movies is that they continue to surprise — with how humorous, self-referential and even insightful they can be," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "Since the first movie defied expectations in 2020 (the creative team redesigned the character after online backlash to a first look), the third film now cruises into theaters, and the series shows no signs of stopping."
