Director "Sonic" says design changes will occur after a kickback – Variety

Sonic the Hedgehog director Jeff Fowler has reacted to fan criticism about the appearance and design of the Blue Hedgehog, writing on Twitter that design changes "will occur".

"The message is loud and clear," Fowler wrote on Twitter on Thursday. "You are not happy with the design and you want changes. It will happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega is committed to making this character the BEST they can be … # sonicmovie #gottafixfast. "

Most of the protests of Internet surfers, which broke out after the trailer's withdrawal on Tuesday, seemed to concern the use of human teeth on Sonic, who is actually a hedgehog and would have much smaller and sharper teeth. . Vulture even interviewed an exotic animal veterinarian who works with hedgehogs to understand what Sonic's teeth should look like. Some fans, however, wondered if realistic teeth would really improve things.

Another dissatisfaction was Sonic's legs, well-formed and somewhat disproportionate.

According to the description of the video on YouTube, the movie "follows Sonic's (evil) adventures as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his new friend, the best human friend, Tom Wachowski." Sonic and Tom unite their efforts to prevent the evil Dr. Robotnik from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. "

Ben Schwartz plays Sonic, and the film also stars Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, James Marsden as Tom Wachowski and Tika Sumpter. "Sonic the Hedgehog" is due out in November 2019.
