Paramount shares the first in-motion teaser for the Sonic the Hedgehog film, revealing a redesigned Sonic the Hedgehog that’s much more human than expected.
Monday morning saw the release of the latest teaser for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie from Paramount Pictures. The teaser, a motion poster, animates a first look at the reinvented Sonic himself. The teaser starts with a speedy Sonic as nothing more than a blue light collecting coins in the distance, but ends with a shadowed full body shot capturing the hedgehog’s surprisingly human anatomy. It’s Sonic the Hedgehog in his highest definition yet, for better or worse.
Sonic is notably different from what fans have come to expect from the anthropomorphic hedgehog over the years. The original Sonic the Hedgehog was characterized as stocky with a round belly and short, noodly appendages. Over the years as Sonic has starred in more recent video games and has been brought to television, he took on a lankier, skinnier form, but he’s always retained his rounded body and definition-less arms and legs.
