2. ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ (Feb. 14)

“Sonic the Hedgehog” got off to a shaky start; in fact, fans hated the original trailer so much, the entire movie was redesigned, pushing its release date back by several months. It’s almost time to see the revamped Sonic, plus his nemesis Dr. Robotnik, played by Jim Carrey.

3. ‘Onward’ (March 6)

Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are the voices of two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, in “Onward.” The two elves go looking for the magic they hope will let them spend one last day with their dad, who died when they were young. Produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures, it also features the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Octavia Spencer.

7. ‘Bob’s Burgers’ (July 17)

Fans of the Fox animated TV series “Bob’s Burgers” have waited a long time for a big-screen adaption, and it’s almost here.

8. ‘Artemis Fowl’ (Aug. 9)

Dame Judi Dench as the leader of a fairy police force? Yes, please. The movie adaptation of Eoin Colfer’s beloved book series, directed by Kenneth Branagh, follows a 12-year-old criminal mastermind (up-and-coming Irish actor Ferdia Shaw) as he wages an epic battle with the ancient fairy world.
