Sonic the Hedgehog
When the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog released, just about everyone was confused and concerned. Not only did the overall feel of the trailer – from the music to the editing – not work, Sonic’s design itself was…just wrong on so many levels.
Human teeth, eyes spread out too far, and so much more brought about a lot of hate from just about everyone on the internet.
Interestingly enough, the outcry from fans and critics got the attention of Sega and the film’s maker, Paramount. The movie was delayed and Sonic’s entire design got a considerable facelift.
The plot seems to have stayed the same, focusing on what would happen if everyone’s favorite blue speedster was transported to our world. Hijinks, chaos, and characters known to the Sonic universe are sure to also be a focal point, as we’ve already seen Dr. Robtnic himself, played by Jim Carrey.
We can only hope that the plot will be as carefree and fun as possible, instead of focusing on being too modern or cool.
