Sonic 3's director says fans hounded him for not including Live and Learn

The Sonic community has been up in arms for a while about whether or not to feature Live and Learn in Sonic 3 , it seems like the decision was set in stone before the movie was even released. GamesRadar+ recently had a chance to speak with the film's directorJeff Fowler, where they asked him about the iconic song being used.

Fowler said that one of the first things you'll hear when playing Sonic Adventure 2 are some of the riffs from Live and Learn, which shows how iconic the game is overall. The director said there was no version of the film without the song and joked that fans would have hunted him down if he had missed it. Furthermore, he also says that it is a “wonderful song” that he was happy to use.

I just realized that there was no version of it where we weren't going to make that strong presence in the film. If I didn't, the fans would be looking for me. Not only did I do it out of fear for my own life, but it's a great song and we're happy to use it. – Jeff Fowler

Live and Learn has been hinted at for a long time in Sonic 3, so it's very wishy-washy to see how it's included front and center. Sadly, it looks like the song may not be paraded around as much by Sega in the future, as Crush 40's leadership is suing the company over its use of Live and Learn.
