For Jim Carrey, the role of Dr. Robotnik in Paramount Pictures\u2019 comedy adventure sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/em> provided the opportunity to return to his legendary film comedy roots.  He says, \u201cRobotnik hit the absurd energy that people really love \u2013 and the vibe of films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask<\/em>, and Dumb and Dumber<\/em>. Playing Robotnik, I just let the floodgates open!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The floodgates remain open \u2013 perhaps even wider \u2013 for Robotnik\u2019s return in the sequel. The chrome-domed, mega-mustached madman with an I.Q. measuring over 300 is bigger, badder, and funnier, and still getting around in his patented flying ship, the Eggmobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he has a score to settle with Sonic, who bested Robotnik at the end of the first film, leaving the madcap maniac stranded on a mushroom planet, light years away from Earth. In Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/em>, we see that Robotnik has spent months alone on the planet. \u201cAnd if he was crazy in the first movie, he\u2019s absolutely insane in this one, which fits Jim Carrey\u2019s style of acting perfectly,\u201d says producer Toby Ascher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrey agrees, noting that returning to Robotnik was a chance to go even bigger with a character who, in the first film, was already an ultimate uber-villain. \u201cHe just gets bigger and bigger, and more and more of an egomaniac,\u201d he confirms. \u201cHe\u2019s also become increasingly frustrated about being bested by puny minds, like Sonic\u2019s. Now, vengeance is job one for Robotnik,\u201d Carrey continues. \u201cNumber two, of course, is world domination and the enslavement of humanity. With the help of the Master Emerald, Robotnik wants to transcend his totally dysfunctional, if brilliant mind, and become a demi-god.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robotnik\u2019s newly enhanced mustache, which has achieved magisterial proportions, is, says Carrey, \u201cyet another manifestation of Robotnik\u2019s ego. You know, the bigger the ego, the bigger the chip on his shoulder, the bigger resentment of Sonic \u2013 and the bigger the mustache!  The \u2018stache gives him power, like Samson\u2019s hair. It becomes a manifestation of his megalomania.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Jeff Fowler is even more impressed by what Carrey brings to the new film, marveling, \u201cJim loves getting lost in the character. He has doubled and tripled-down on all the things you love about Robotnik \u2013 and about Jim \u2013 including the humor, mania and intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
