“Sonic The Hedgehog 3” Breaks Guinness World Record for Largest Shadow

Paramount Pictures unveiled a massive spectacle this holiday season, in anticipation for the upcoming theatrical release of SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 on Thursday, December 18th, with an attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the “largest shadow projection.”

The shadow was projected on an exterior wall of the American Dream in East Rutherford, NJ, with a live stream shown on the first floor of Court A within the mall.

The past record was 15.7 m (51 ft 6.1 in) long x 8.09 m (26 ft 6.5 in) wide.
