Sonic The Hedgehog: 6 classic sonics that we would like to see in the redesign of the movie

By IGN Staff

Upon returning from the news that director Jeff Fowler will redesign Sonic The Hedgehog in the upcoming Paramount movie, we decided that it was time to take a look at some classic Sonic creations that could replace the movie, uh, a little controversial original.

Drawing of more than 25 years of blue blur – you can view the complete visual history of Sonic in the slideshow below – here are our choices for how Sonic could be a little more acceptable.

Sonic Adventure

Sonic Adventure introduced the first redesign of Sonic's design in the series, and the change was more convenient than you think.

Sonic Team Art Director Kazuykui Hoshino said in Sonic the Hedgehog's art book that Sonic's head was so big that it was hiding the rest of his body – a problem in the new 3D perspective.

Sonic Adventure 2

Although slightly more pointed and with more detailed shoes, Sonic Adventure 2 remained relatively similar to the first one. His conversation animations have improved considerably, making us think of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (the GameCube port). Sonic was the first rendering of "modern" Sonic.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

Ok, yes, the game Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 had, um, problems. But Sonic's even sharper design (understand it, because of its long peaks?) Could work in a movie.

Sonic Forces

Sonic Forces is the latest Sonic game and features both the modern Sonic and the smaller classic Sonic, much like Sonic Generations.

Sonic keeps his shoes simpler here, but his fur is actually textured – a detail we expect to see in the film, no matter where they decide to take his design.

Sonic Generations

Although we have focused heavily on Sonic's more modern design, we are not completely moving away from Sonic's classic design. You can see both take the same pose for Sonic Generations.

However, for the same reasons invoked by Sonic Adventure's Artistic Director, using a smaller, rounder, and more cute Sonic model could be a problem, especially if you're trying to combine it with real characters and landscapes. . In addition, over the years, Sonic has earned a reputation for being sneaky and devious, which is in keeping with its more modern design, which has played a prominent role in games for 20 years.

The progressive insurance version of Sonic

This is a strange reminder but we do it anyway. In 2012, Progressive Insurance partnered with Sega to create an advertisement featuring the Blue Hedgehog. The Sonic here is not big enough to be considered totally modern, but it has this fur texture that we expect to see and is a decent mix of the most modern with a classic inspiration. But one thing is the same with all these Sonics: his arms are bare. As they should be in the movie.

Supersonic detonation

Oh yes, the Sonic Boom design is one thing. Scratch all previous Sonic designs. Just give her incredibly long arms and legs, a scarf and wrap her shoes and gloves in toilet paper. Made, fixed design.

Sonic The Hedgehog will be released in 2019 and will be released on November 8 in the United States, November 28 in Australia and December 26 in the United Kingdom. For more information on live adaptation, here's why Brian Altano of IGN regretted to be mocked by Sonic's new trailer and what's more. other iconic characters in the video game would like to have odd and human teeth.
