The Newly-Redesigned Sonic the Hedgehog Trailer Is Much Closer To The Video Games

Sonic the Hedgehog is back with a brand-new look.


Immediately after a round of negative feedback from fans any time the initial Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer debuted, it was back to the drawing board for director Jeff Fowler and the team at Paramount and SEGA. Fans called Sonic "nightmare fuel," criticizing his lanky legs, more human-like features, and toothy grin if he talked along with his uncommon eyes.


Right now, he's officially back, with a glow-up for the ages. Take a peek at his new look in the recently-unveiled trailer, which shows off Sonic as a much more fluid, cartoony character. This is more like it!


Fans are already in love with the new look, commenting on the massive change for the good. It absolutely lends a more "video game" feel to the movie, which makes it feel more in tune with the brand.


Sonic's (Ben Schwartz) look may be drastically different, however it looks like the general narrative hasn't changed. It will give attention to Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), the sheriff of Green Hills (yes, named immediately following the Green Hills focus in the games). He meets an eccentric blue hedgehog – a "juvenile delinquent," no far less – and joins him on a journey to a) escape the government and b) save the world.


Not exactly sure how that will play out just however, although it sounds pretty true to the Sonic games' spirit at least, minus the entire human sheriff part. Certainly, in true Sonic style, the blue blur and his human companion will be trailed by Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, portrayed by Jim Carrey. It has all of the makings of a fun, wacky time at the theater, especially if you are a fan of the classic games.
