The Pikachu movie at least looks like it could potentially be decently funny and some originality. This hedgehog movie....not so much...(or really not at all).

It would already have looked better (in my opinion, obviously) if they had made Sonic animated

oddtail:
I'm seriously baffled by Sonic's design. It's hypnotizingly bad. I could probably make a better 3D model in Blender, and:

1) Any artistic skills I might once have had are super-rusty;
2) They never involved 3D modelling;
3) I never liked, cared about, or knew anything substantial about Sonic in the first place;
4) I suck at Blender;
5) I should not be trusted with designing a character for a major movie, with a budget and everything.
6) I'm one person, and I assume the model for the movie was made by a team. Presumably by professionals (?).

The rest of the trailer is pretty bad, but it's all usual "quick cash-in" bad (slow-motion scene that rips off that one scene from X-Men? Check. Jim Carrey? Check. Song that doesn't fit the movie at all? Checkity-check). But Sonic and the way he looks is like... I've seen better-designed creatures in mockbusters and in ill-conceived late-90s video games.

I am struggling to understand what chain of events led to this. My headcanon right now is that the graphic artists were underpaid and overworked, they threw this together as a joke, and no-one in the chain of command noticed, because Hollywood executives are kinda famously out of touch with reality. I honestly can't imagine someone creating a 3D model like this when they were not *trying* to make it look bad.

Humans in the first Toy Story movie are less eerily creepy by far, and the movie was made in early 90s, so it has an excuse.

EDIT: also, I've already seen a few artists on DeviantArt drawing fan art of he Sonic from the trailer. They actually gush about how great the trailer was, which seriously made my jaw drop. Plot twist: their fan art is EASILY better than the Sonic from the trailer. Much, much better.

TheEvilDog:
Its not Sonic!

RedWolf4:
Welp, That's my childhood taken out the back and executed while pleading for it's life.

*Takes a shot and just . . . stares*

JoeCovenant:
Well, well, well...!!!
