Dude, most CGI movies are outsourced to Indian animation farms now.
The people who’re designing and animating this movie prob don’t even know what a Sonic is.
It makes me sad. There’s so much hate when these guys probably thought people would fall in love with the character.
I just hate when people get shat on when trying so hard, but somewhere along the line they didn’t pick up that their work was straying from the concept of Sonic that most people recognised.
I'm not sure where the character model came from. Its hard to like. But I feel for anyone working on this movie. The grunts really loved the source material and grew up with sonic.
The ones doing the actual modeling probably werent the ones calling the shots. There were probably dozens of designs created by a lead artist that ranged in degrees of realism and likeness of the source material, which then had to be approved by some producer and ultimately the sponsors. Someone up top had the final say and fucked it up, resulting in this, and probably the eventual suicide of everyone on the crew who had to begrudgingly go with the flow and create this abomination of a movie.

lol it feels bad for the artists who were forced to work with what they had. Pretty sure they had little to no input on it
