The following video contains spoilers for "Sonic the Hedgehog 3," so beware if you haven't caught the fun family flick yet!
If you've been keeping up to date with the 2024 movie schedule, you probably know about the hit release "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" which has earned a solid review from CinemaBlend and easily sprinted past the competition at the holiday box office this weekend. While it continues the story of the famous speedy hedgehog and his team, there's one particular dance sequence that had me laughing, and director Jeff Fowler told me how they brought it to life --specifically with the help of Jim Carrey.
In "Sonic the Hedgehog 3," Dr. Robotnick (played by Jim Carrey) meets his long-lost grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnick (also Carrey), and when the two of them don special suits in order to sneak through a laser-filled room, of course, a totally hilarious dance sequence breaks out. I was so enamored by the scene that when I spoke with director Jeff Fowler, I asked him about how it came together.

00:00Robotnik, oh my God, so funny in this movie, loved him.
00:03But I have to ask, whose idea was it
00:05to have Jim Carrey do that dance scene?
00:07Because like, I was crying.
00:09Like, it felt like classic Jim Carrey watching him do that.
00:13Amazing, no, that's one of my favorite scenes as well.
00:16That idea, the credit goes to Jim.
00:19He had done in the first film,
00:21there's that one little scene in his mobile lab
00:23where he puts on the music and does a little dancing
00:27and then gets interrupted by Stone.
00:29In one of our very early conversations on movie three,
00:32he said, I wanna dance again.
00:33And I said, great, like, let's do it.
00:36So if we were gonna do it again,
00:38we were gonna go big and literally double down
00:42on the dancing and have, you know,
00:43Ivo and Gerald there doing a duo.
00:47But it was so much fun to design that, to plan it.
00:49We had an amazing choreography team.
00:52We had amazing dancers.
00:53Everyone just brought their A game
00:55and just delivered an amazing sequence.
