Sonic fans are a dedicated lot. No matter the depths recent Sonic games have sunk to, they're still there, waiting for the spiky speedster to race back into glory. There are also the very few who take their dedication to new heights -- fans like Rich Kuta, who is actually making a feature-length animated Sonic film.
