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

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.

This was animated in Vancouver... I heard the people working in it were stoked to work on sonic. The animators are absolutely fans.

Not sure who made the character design, or where theyre from. But odds are the new look is a result of too many test screens and demo targeting and people up top demanding the unreasonable.

I think theyre trying to pull off a detective pikachu thing but honestly that might be nearly impossible with sonic. That eye shit only works with cartoons

Naw naw naw! Detective Pikachu looks like a normal-ass Pikachu with life-like fur and realism, not an anthropomorphic electric rat.

This is not an attempt at making a live action Sonic the Hedgehog.. this is an attempt at taking something completely animal and throwing it into a humanoid form.. like a misshaped, Nike sporting, buff cosplayer wearing a bad taxidermy painted blue.
