IGN has published an exclusive look at Sonic in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Judging from comments online regarding Sonic’s look in the movie some fans aren’t happy with his design. Sonic The Hedgehog movie comes out in November 2019 and here are a few choice comments from the exclusive IGN interview.
“It would be weird and it would feel like he was running around nude if he was some sort of otter-like thing. It was always, for us, fur, and we never considered anything different. It’s part of what integrates him into the real world and makes him a real creature.”
“We looked at every different variation of what shoes he’s worn and we’re trying to pay homage to that and also make it current and present day in what we think a Sonic of today would wear,” producer Neal Moritz
“I don’t think SEGA was entirely happy with the eye decision, but these sorts of things you go, ‘It’s going to look weird if we don’t do this.’ But everything is a discussion, and that’s kind of the goal, which is to only change what’s necessary and stay true to the rest of it,” said Miller. “He’s not going to feel like a Pixar character would because I don’t think that’s the right aesthetic to make it feel like part of our world.”
“The first thing you need to do is put limits on it. If you can do anything, nothing is special. For me, it’s always about keeping it grounded and keeping it realistic,” said Miller. “We had some time to figure out the speed: What it looks like, what it feels like for a character to do that and how it relates to our world. It took a little trial and error, but that’s animation in figuring out what the effect looks like and what it does to the rest of the world around it. The speed changes over time because he evolves, because he can’t do everything at the beginning of the movie. It’s finding the visual language and figuring out how it’s going to evolve over time.”
“Obviously the poster can only show so much. … That’s a hint at what we’re hoping to accomplish, but I think people are going to see things they’ve probably never seen before in trying to represent speed in this movie,” said Moritz. “We’ve worked so closely with the people at SEGA who are kind of the gatekeepers of Sonic to make sure we’re lockstep. We’re trying to make something that’s for today that fans of different versions will love as well.”
Lets just watch it with a open mind…
We would have to open our minds so far that Yogsathoth would enter in and rip us apart
Oh no
Oh god no
Oh please god no
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In all seriousness I want to see a trailer before I pass any further judgement.
Omfg! Burn it with the fire from the darkest Pitts of the underworld 😲😂
Looks creepy
I think it looks great. Always comes down to storyline though. Needs to be well written.
Lmao looks like a regular guy with a bobblehead mask of Sonic wearing some Nike air maxxs. Looks like sports mascots are finally breaking into the cinema world lol
Exactly what I was thinking. Is this sonic a professional runner? Is the plot of the movie sonic trying to be the fastest runner ever?
LMAO it already looks like a dumpster fire!!! 😂😂😂
The fact that they said that Sega might not like the eyes concerns me
After seeing this and if Sega’s concern is the damn eyes, I’m terrified of seeing those eyes. o.O
Geez
They knew why didn’t want to show anymore facial details!
… Oh. My. God. Did they put a Sonic mascot mask on a skinny, short basketball player? *shudders* I’m scared to see what the damn face looks like. I… I don’t like this look at all. Make it fucking smaller!
I got more hope for the Monster Hunter movie now xD
LOL EW! Looks like Ben Schwartz is just gonna wear a blue suit and giant Sonic head? Totally called it. This will be a beautiful disaster XD
HE’S NAKED!
That’s gonna be a yikes from me.
They given him human eyes or something??? 😲 That’s a terrifying notion lol … I don’t like the way he is at all, if the trailer is anything like the detective Pikachu film then… S**t!
The Detective Pikachu film is awesome. This poster is an abortion.
If you like it good but Pikachu film looks bad, and this looks horrific
Ikr, you have shitty taste SR388
NOPE …
… nope nope nope nope nope nope …
… nope …
…
And already the design is creeping me out.
And for those of you who had doubts about the CGI being creepy… I CALLED IT BITCHES!!!
This ladies and gentlemen, is what what happens when you don’t know what the intelligent fans (meaning, no kids) of the Sonic franchise truly wants.
Well, i don’t think its going to suck i’m worried that some people will not love this type of film that Sonic is in.
That’s not real, is it? That looks way too fake o.o”
You’re the second person I’ve seen today say it looks fake. xD I can’t help but agree with the both of you, though. It does look fake as hell. But we thought the Slender Man trailer was also fake back when it was first shown. (From what I’ve heard of the film, we are actually wishing it was fake now.)
Guys, I have found the excellent music for this movie!
Sonic and the furries🎵
