Even More Sonic Movie Details Revealed

1. A little more realistic… I can live with that, the closest we’ve had in the past would be Blur Studio’s work with Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) due to the more realistic humans. In terms of CGI models they were the designs I liked the most.

   If they’re keeping the overall design of Sonic with some proportion, fur style and texture changes, I’d be okay with that. Marza Animation planet is still supervising from a design and animation perspective as far as I’m aware so I’m cautiously optimistic on that side.

   Looks aside, I do hope that Sonic and any of the cast joining him get most of the screentime but as always, a balanced experience will suffice i.e first Transformers film but leaning towards the game characters more.

   Thanks for the article as always.

2. This doesn’t reassure me much. If “a little more realistic” means something like a more detailed fur texture, like the texture on Sonic from the original Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure, or like Boom Sonic which is just bells and whistles piled onto the original design, then cool. But I just don’t get that vibe, you know?

   And the first writer on this movie also had such reassurances, like how this won’t be the Smurfs. And I think it’s pretty obvious at this stage that that script has been mangled up at this point. Yes, a buddy cop/Sonic is saved by a village (how do those two things go together, nobody’s explained that to me yet) plot sounds better than the Smurfs, but I think in practice the humans will still get too much screentime/importance.

   And also, yeah, the current writer’s word on this does carry more weight than the very first one, but I’m just bringing up a point on how things can change.

   1. There’s another thing to note as well that people that work on films in the industry literally cannot say anything that would put the film in a negative light. Him saying Sonic will be the main character doesn’t really answer the question of whether or not this will be a typical Hollywood case of focusing more on relatable humans rather than what the audience paid to see.

      That to me is a red flag, especially considering what we know about the movie’s premise so far.

      I’m feeling the humans will have too much screetime as well, I believe them when they say Sonic will be the main character but I’m feeling Knuckles, Amy, Eggman, etc. are going to get shafted in order to give more screentime to James Marsden’s and Tika Sumpter’s characters.

3. Is not surprising they would go for a more realistic design, I’m totally fine with that, I just hope they go for something smooth and stylish like the Sonic Riders ZG CG and not the Sonic fan film, I appreciate all the effort thay went to that film but that Sonic design looks just awful, realistic or not.

   I made a drawing of how I think Sonic could look more realistic without changing too much of what he looks like. I also posted it on Twitter and the writer Patrick Casey commented on it. More info in the link. ⬆️

5. Can’t trust hollywood. There is only one thing they can say that will reassure me of the sonic movie’s quality and that is “the sonic the hedgehog movie is cancelled”.

6. one giant realistic eye with two pupils.

   1. I kind of feel the biggest changes will be more defined musculature and two eyes for Sonic and Amy each, they may look a little off-putting but I hope they still nail the facial animation.

7. I am going to watch this with an open mind. When i watch movies, regardless of details released on it, I judge movies when i see it, rather than judge it before it comes out.

   1. Preach.

8. They better not be lying to me if I find out that sonic only gets 30% of screentime in favor of toms character I’m gonna frickin burn down somebody’s office XD

9. The minute we see movie Sonic’s face, and the proper trailer (NOT A TEASER, A TRAILER). It’s a done deal.

10. More realistic design, but still Sonic? I’m up for it.

    Honestly, I never get why people fuss over how Sonic looks. To me, Sonic the Hedgehog will always be Sonic the Hedgehog, no matter how he looks, and no matter his design.

11. Basically, what Sonic Adventure 1 was attempting..
