New trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog
- Thread starter Robin64
- Start date
I wish they'd done something like Detective Pikachu with this. Sonic and friends, Robotnik and a crazy cast of personified robots(less SatAM Robotnik and more WHHYYYY Robotnik would be better for the tone), maybe a human in his world if you absolutely had to go that route.
The film is probably destined to bomb, but at least we'd get a great Sonic-universe film out of it. This just seems like a Monster Trucks ripoff at best.

It's like an entirely different movie. It must have taken endless crunch time to adhere the new body/facial rig to the old animation, or needing to reanimate parts all together.
They fucking have to sneak in a "nailed it" in every goddamn one of these kids movies though, it's insufferable.
and no, the shittier the better is not a valid answer

This one is even worse because Sonic totally nailed it. Having the character say nailed it is only funny when they don't nail it.
i hope there was little to no crunch and the same guys sourced for the original shots were hired again for the new stuff.
It's interesting because Sonic himself seems mostly aimed at kids (which makes sense, it's the franchise's primary audience) but the combination of Carrey doing some old-school Carrey shit and being called Robotnik is definitely aimed at an older audience who are more familiar with those things.
Something is off about the compositing of the Sonic Model over the plates, like the colours don't feel like they match the contrast/light of the world around him.
RELEASE THE UGLY CUT
The movie looks fun.
And maybe that's a dumb question, but when did they go back to calling him Robotnik? I always prefered that name.

Sonic Adventure merged the two. He (usually) refers to himself as Robotnik, while Sonic's nickname for him is Eggman.
Now it's Puma shoes lolJapanese key art
They got rid of the Nike shoes
His voice doesn't match the new model too well though. Schwartz ironically matched nightmare Sonic better.
It's an entirely new model they're likely still tweaking into the overlay of the old shots. Wouldn't be surprised if they're still a final pass away from being done. These trailer shots were likely the first renders out the door.
Japan gets Pumas? lolJapanese key art

Great redesign and actually think the tone and jokes were better this time. Looks actually like a decent kids film I could enjoy somewhat.
Went from looking hilariously bad to comfortably bland.
I love how they had to stick with him being "furry, but with bristles" not because the bristles are - you know - a hedgehogy thing to have, but likely because Robotnik interacts with a dropped bristle in the movie :P

Just for funsies, here are some of the fan edits of the original trailer:
All jokes aside... Give those animators a raise and paid vacation. To turn that around in mere months... must not have been pleasant for them
I'm starting to buy into the conspiracies that the first trailer was a ruse to drum up attention/lower our expectations

Much better than the fan designs if only the fan designs are based on new post adventure sonic and not on chubby cute sonic like the movie
To be this good takes AGES
Glad to have you back buddy.
Still ~3 months until release to fix stuff like this.

Just checked the old trailer and he was wearing Pumas, too. Just different looking ones.Japanese key art from Paramount JP
They got rid of the Nikes
Who else would you aim a Sonic the Hedgehog movie at?
It's either little kids or the kinds of people that sexualise the brand.
This one is more reflective of the film...but the Japanese one looks better.
