This movie is gonna be bad but I genuinely want to see Ben Schwartz play this monstrosity, I think at the very least it'll be entertainingly bad
It's going to look like this, isn't it. Fuq sake...I saw this on twitter.
I honestly thought it was real. Wouldn't surprise me.
12 years too late for that concern.
Sega canonised Furry romance in 2006.
Is it just me, or the right leg is aiming back too far right to be able connect with the body

Please stop acting like furries want any part of this. They're just as horrified by this as the rest of us.
Lol what makes them think people will actually pay money and spend time to see their shitty movie
I really hope whoever made the CGI model of Sonic was forced to make this atrocity with a gun to his/her head because WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THAT. WHY ARE HIS FEET SO SMALL!?!? HUMAN LEGS?!?
Watch, the plot of this movie is going to be JUST AS BAD. I can see it being something stupid like this:
Kid in wheelchair gets electrocuted by some equipment in a lab that was creating a kinetic fluid that could recover lost limbs. Lab was using hedgehogs as test subjects, wheelchair kid accidentally knocks one hedgehog enclosure and some fluid over and a loose cable electrocutes both. Kid is now a hedgehog and can run at the speed of light.
I hear it now. the screams of all the fans...

For reference, this is the artist that is doing the Detective PIkachu Pokemon art. He's the one they went to after seeing the designs.
First Battle Angel Alita now this. These Hollywood executives really need to understand "If it ain't broke then dont fix it." Monster Hunter didnt need to be an isekai.
The one issue I have with this is that Classic Sonic is heavily Western. The original Japanese design was edgier with sharp teeth and longer quills and Sega of America worked on it and gave us the design we know and love. Ever since Naka got control of the series they started removing that Western influence and we got Modern Sonic with long quills and sharp teeth.
I remember seeing this art in a magazine as a kid and I was like "Welp, Sonic is dead to me now."
I don't think that's really an issue with his point, sonic and co's designs at their core well at most of them, are heavily inspired by mickey mouse, felix the cat ect. And his base design is a mix of Japanese anime, with that western older animation style , and whether eastern or western inlfuenced because it has fluctuated back and forth over the years, that's still true. And even with western help with his original design still reached that place, I would argue the people who worked on that art, knowing what that was and keeping that speaks to his point.The one issue I have with this is that Classic Sonic is heavily Western.

You just don't like modern sonic, which is fine, I dissagree. But I think that's largely irrelevant to the point being made
That's funny, cause Sonic 2 was the first videogame I ever played and was already interested in the character, but seeing this image from Sonic Adventure (and the other art direction of the game) cemented me as a Sonic fan for life. The street/pushed style DC Sonic was incredibly appealing to me at the time (and still is). I loved the wild, vibrant style Sega unapologetically embraced in the late 90's, from Jet Set Radio to Sonic Adventure to Space Channel 5.The one issue I have with this is that Classic Sonic is heavily Western.

Who thought this was a good idea? What are these movie producers smoking?
This movie has bomba written all over it.

My point is the tweet doesn't get at how important western influence was on Sonic and anime and general. Japan wasn't happy with SoA's changes. And it's not just a problem of westerners not getting it because western input improved his original design and Sonic Team themselves have demonstrated they don't get it, either.
I actually vastly prefer Modern Sonic to Classic Sonic. Modern is sort of timeless while Classic is firmly a product of the 90's.The one issue I have with this is that Classic Sonic is heavily Western.

I think Holywwod is purposely baiting us.
This can't be the final version of Sonic at all, there's simply no way it can. Im-fucking-possible.

The only way this works is if the first part of the movie is a great looking normal CG cartoon and then he gets put in the human world and becomes a fucked up monster
Same here. Opinions, etc. but this design has aged well IMO. The original not so much. (For the record, I got into Sonic with 2.)
Don't you guys remember the old mega drive games , these are exactly how I remember sonic looking .
Its not about that, I say this with respect who gives a shit about that. That's not relevant to the point being made, at the end of the day, sonic is a Japanese product with Japanese tendencies, and those Japanese tendencies and spin on what he is inspired on are one of the major reasons why he is popular and Hollywood tends to just shrug off shit like properties made in japan or cartoonish shit because its not in there sphere , when in reality that stuff probably makes more money than anything they are doing and as people in the business of entertainment they should be actively paying attention to it.
And sonic team does get it because his design is still popular and fine, heck his design and their subsequent additions to are what allow him to survive for this long. Heck the most popular character in the franchise that isn't sonic, shadow, and his whole everything is anime as hell. So they do get it, at least visually and know what to do , and what not to do.
Whether you like it is a irrelevant premise. That's neat, who cares. It worked for a lot of people, and hollywood shrugging the shit of off that made it work is the issue being brought up

This is amazing, I truly laughed out loud at this. Tails used to piss me off as a kid with that "Sonic sez!" crap lol.
The tagline "A Whole New Speed of Hero" is a play on "A Whole New Breed of Hero" which was the tagline for the Howard the Duck 1986 movie.
