As a lifelong Sonic fan who grew up playing Sonic Advance 2 and bonding over Cream the Rabbit with my childhood friends, I can’t help but feel my heart racing at the sight of her popping up in the promotional materials for the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog 3 movie. It’s been a long time coming for this adorable duo to make their cinematic debut, and if Regal Movies’ Funko Pop lineup is anything to go by, it seems like Cream and Cheese are finally stepping into the limelight!
Enthusiasts of Sega’s iconic mascot from the original series are abuzz with anticipation as the release date for the upcoming “Sonic The Hedgehog 3” movie nears its 2024 debut. However, this week, an unforeseen disclosure by Regal Movies has fans speculating about what hidden treasures the third installment might unveil. In addition to announcing exclusive Popcorn buckets and Funko Pop collectibles related to the film, sharp-eyed fans spotted a character not formally announced: Cream the Rabbit. Could this sneak peek from marketing inadvertently spoil the debut of a new video game character on the big screen?
In case you didn’t notice, Regal Corporation has announced some exciting news on their platform (previously Twitter). They revealed a themed popcorn bucket and a line of Funko Pop figures tied to the upcoming movie adaptation of a popular video game, slated for release in December 20. The collection includes characters like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow the Hedgehog, much to the delight of fans. However, what’s particularly noteworthy is the inclusion of lesser-seen characters: Cream the Rabbit and her companion, Cheese the Chao. This is significant for devoted fans who admire Cream, a member of the blue anthropomorphic hedgehog family, as she and Cheese are well-known video game characters, first appearing in Sonic Advance 2 on Game Boy Advance. But until now, they have seldom stepped out of the gaming world—that seems to be changing.
The addition of Cream to this promotional roster hints at a possible collaboration between her and Sonic 3 in the upcoming film. It seems likely that this adorable pair could be sharing the silver screen for the first time.
To start with, it’s worth mentioning that merchandise linked to movies can sometimes reveal movie spoilers ahead of time. Many times, toys released in this manner contain hints about crucial plot points. Recently, fans have managed to uncover major cinematic twists thanks to toys and promotional materials, such as LEGO sets exposing key moments from upcoming Marvel and Star Wars films. The unexpected addition of Cream the Rabbit in the merchandise for Sonic 3 stirs suspicions, given that the franchise has been rather secretive about its plot details beyond Shadow the Hedgehog’s confirmed role, which was brilliantly voiced by Keanu Reeves.
Adding Cream to the movie could imply that her character has a minor role or brief appearance in Sonic 3. However, it’s also possible that her inclusion is just a tribute to the vast Sonic universe, symbolizing the recognition given to popular characters. Given the extensive history of the Sonic franchise and its diverse cast, it wouldn’t be surprising if Cream appeared in merchandise, even without a significant part in the film. This could be Sega and Paramount’s way of acknowledging her fanbase.
As a dedicated Sonic fan, I can’t help but notice the hints about an expanding character roster in the Sonic franchise. While nothing’s official yet, we’ve seen Tails and Knuckles make their appearances, with Tails even getting his own TV show. Now, there’s been a lot of buzz around Cream the Rabbit, thanks to some subtle hints dropped by the filmmakers. Whether she’ll have a small cameo, a significant role, or just be an Easter egg for us long-time fans, it’s evident they’re diving deep into the series’ rich history.
Fans won’t have to wait much longer as the movie is only weeks away from release, giving them an opportunity to find out if Cream will make it to the big screen. In the meantime, feel free to keep speculating! To keep you entertained until then, why not watch the first two Sonic movies and Knuckles, available with a Paramount+ subscription.
