After only 24 hours after its official release, director Jeff Fowler confirms they will change Sonic The Hedgehog’s movie character design.
Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be… #sonicmovie #gottafixfast ๐งโ๏ธ

If, like us, you were a bit creeped out by the much too humanoid version of our favorite ring catcher, this comes as excellent news! (Pictured above)
We are all for creating amazing movies and adapting to a vision but this one went a bit too far. We were reminded of the now classic Super Mario Bros and of its poor movie adaptation. Maybe we are just nostalgic gamers, but we must thank the powers that be for the internet and its persuasive nature. If you are going to go old school, respect the character design. After all, that’s exactly what they did for Detective Pikachu!
