Paramount/SegaParamount/SegaParamount/SegaParamount/SegaIn early May, the first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was released to almost universal criticism .
Instead of the adorable16-bit hero most of us remember, this CGI Sonic was all wrong.
His legs were weirdly tapered, and the body proportions were wrong, with perhaps the worst bit being that nightmare of mouth, full of teeth.
Within two days the film's director Jeff Fowler announced that changes would be made before the film's release, a date that soon slipped to February 2020—presumably once the scope of the work set in.
On Tuesday, the extent of that became clear with the release of a new trailer for the movie, featuring a much-improved render of the main character.
