Sonic the Hedgehog’s creator Yuji Naka took to Twitter on Tuesday to express his disappointment in the leaked promotional design of Sonic in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie. He clearly isn’t happy with the look of the iconic video game character and retweeted this reworked image by a concept artist for Tsume Art. Here’s what Mr. Naka had to say about the design of Sonic from the movie.
“If a poor directorial choice becomes a hot topic, then it could continue to damage Sonic’s IP,” Naka wrote. He added that the images could be fanmade and he’d like to see Sonic wearing gloves. Naka found it “shocking” that Sonic’s bare hands are white.
Now i understand how everyone feels including the creator himself. So many disappointments. Lets see how they react when the movie company reveal the trailer of it.
Sometimes I want to know why they didn’t do something animated like this one:

LOL!!! EVEN THE CREATOR HIMSELF!!!! This movie is going to FLOP HARD!
Like almost anything Sonic related, except ports and remasters of old classics.
Yeah… no shit!
I mean this guy practically INVENTED Sonic. So how can this NOT be his reaction?
Oh stop being a baby it’s better than the detective pikachu movie! Yeah I went there, fight me nerds!
I’m REALLY getting sick of being a Troll magnet on this site.
Can’t you people just get a life?
If the CREATOR OF SONIC says your design is horrible, you know you fucked up big time.
You also know it’s bad when someone with a lot less money is able to make a much better design than someone with a ton of it.
That looks so much better! “But furry, white hands is so Sonic will be realistic!” He’s a fucking talking, walking on two legs hedgehog with hands instead of another pair of legs that can move at sonic speeds! Add the fucking gloves! And get rid of the obvious Nike product placement!
I know right, the white furry hands is such an odd design choice. If they wanted a gloveless Sonic they should’ve made his hands blue at least.
That Nike product placement is pretty funny though. It’s like they know the movie will flop so they needed another way to make most of the money they spent on the movie back.
Maybe that explains the blatant product placement of Krispy Kreme in the Power Rangers movie. xD
Is it me, or does EVERY 3D Sonic (except Adventures) end up really sucking?
I love adventures as much as the next Sonic/Dreamcast/GCN fan, but it’s mostly nostalgia. Sonic Adventures had horrendous mechanics, it was never good.
And I’m sure a lot of fans share the same opinion as him.
It looks more like a blue bear than a hedgehog .
I knew things would eventually make a turn for the worse with this.
Remember the Super Mario Bros. Movie from 1993 and how negatively criticized it was?
Yeah, I believe the exact same thing will potentially happen here if changes are not made.
Cartoonish/Non-human video game characters and Real Life designs never mix well with one another UNLESS it is done the right way.
Honestly, should have just went with a CGI animated film like how he was designed in Wreck-It Ralph instead of shoving him into a silly Live Action.
How the heck did they think people would react to this?
Sonic lost world being adapted into a straight to video movie would have been better than this.
Pingback: Yuji Naka, co-créateur de Sonic, n'est vraiment pas satisfait du design pour le film
Maybe 3D Sonic is a lost cause? it seem to Always suck. Maybe it wasn’t just made for 3d.
These movie companies are FUCKING STUPID! What did they think the target audience is? It’s obviously just Sonic/SEGA/retro fans and not ordinary people who don’t know games or play COD/Candy Crush all day. So why would you change Sonic so much that you upset the fanbase, the only potential viewers you have?! Same happened with Star Wars. Disney butchered the original concept so much that no Star Wars fan cares anymore about the movies.
