It's a prequel based in I think WW2

They are making another one too though

I doubt the majority reviles it as much as you.

The majority can endure so much more than the individual.

I really hated it though. You can blame the studio for that, sticking spoilers in the trailer and posters. Dicks.

Paramount recently released a new trailer showcasing Sonic's redesigned look.

Also released a new official poster for the film:

Looks much better. Movie still looks trash, tho.

feels v bleak that a group of animators were forced to crunch out an entire do-over of the title character because barely functional adults lost their minds over a children's movie

I'm glad they fixed it..def feel bad for the crew that had to crunch time to fix it but ehhh it had to be done unless they wanted to go down as a worse movie than the Mario Bros (which I love to this day).

this is true. although, i dunno, i get the feeling some of them feel oddly honour-bound to go now - they demanded the change, and they actually got it, so there's this weird through-line on social media of "giving back" to the crew because "they listened" now

it is... honestly insane

i mean objectively sonic looks heaps better now but i just can't see how it would be worth the effort, time or money to redo it

Now there is a buzz about the movie. Fixing it and announcing it publically was a good idea.

No matter if it's good or bad, more people will watch than before the change.

Apparently Paramount had hired the lead artist of Sonic Mania to be in charge of their redesign efforts for this film.

Recently, long-time Sonic artist Tyson Hesse confirmed that he was brought in to "lead the design" on the modified Blue Blur.

Hesse has a lot of experience with illustrating Sonic. Apart from serving as director and lead animator for the Sonic Mania opening cinematic, he also created the promotional mini-series Sonic Mania Adventures. Additionally, Hesse has contributed as an artist on the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.

According to a report from Indiewire, Sonic's redesign is rumored to have cost Paramount around $5 million.

Also rumored that a lot less work was needed to fix the film due to only a few of the CGI scenes with Sonic were completed by the time of the original trailer's release.

Quote:

A source close to the “Sonic the Hedgehog” production estimates the character redesign cost Paramount less than $5 million. The source says VFX work on the film was far from completed by the time the decision was made to delay the film and redesign Sonic. The only Sonic VFX that were fully completed were reportedly the ones seen in the first trailer, which dropped online April 30. Most of the VFX were not finished, so redesigning Sonic proved not to be as outrageously expensive as it would have been had all of the film’s VFX been done. The source tells IndieWire that any rumor alleging the redesign made the “Sonic” VFX team suffer is far from true.

Nick Offerman would have been a cool Doctor Robotnik. Carrey could have been a robot henchman or some shit.

Really glad this movie is doing well.
