- Published on Nov 12, 2019
- In April of this year, Paramount released a trailer for their live-action take on SEGA’s "Sonic The Hedgehog" franchise. Fans hated it. They attempted to make Sonic more “realistic” but ended up creating something fairly disturbing. Due to the backlash, the film’s director, Jeff Fowler, promised fans he would change Sonic’s design to make him more like the iconic character we all know and love. The newly released trailer has received a much warmer response. Watch as we break down the differences between Paramount’s first and second version of "Sonic the Hedgehog."

They have to sell old version movie seperately just for the laughs. The studio listened to their audience holy shid
First sonic was "realistic" this sonic is more Pixar 3D if that makes any sense and it works glad they got it right eventually .... because carrey looks hilarious the part that got me was the ending of the trailer when he put the goggles on lol
すっご〜い!
Yes the anther one suck
Yes I'm happy with the new look 😊
The hell we are happy with new version
2019:made in real life
2020:made in a animation
Take notes Disney! Redo Star Wars episode 8! Makes fans happier and makes you money....
The fake sonic hedgehog is hilarious...biggest CGI failure in Paramount history......It cost 90 million dollars to make and plus redesign. 5 million dollars to replacement and ads.
Total cost $95 million dollars. It going to be box office success... But the biggest mistake is CGI fails. lol.
Yes
I showed a friend who didn't see any of the trailers both Sonic's side by side. Here was her deduction
2019- Sonic's long lost deformed cousin
2020- sonic the hedgehog
(Martin) I have to continue, I love Paramount's ideas, but HOW do you greenlight that design! Look at the legs and calves of Sonic in that poster! Doesn't that just scare you knowing who sonic is??
(Martin) That "Tails the Fox, the Journey to the Hell" LMAO! So freakin creepy! Ugh... I almost want to see that trailer, so I can watch people's reactions
The new sonic is wayyyyy better good jobb !!
Honestly, one of the best decisions ever made. Lol.
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👌🦔
A 5 Million dollar change...wow! It looks more kid friendly, a bit more child-like.
Fans are not the director so shut up
i am Happy that they made Sonic like the cartoons that i watched growing up with.
sonic boom mader sonics arms blue first, amaybe its because of that?
Yes so happy! Cause it looks like Sonic actually!!!!
I love ❤️ the New Animated Sonic Movie
Classic Sonic with green 👀 hmmm...
The first version was better
1:29 how is that disturbing
They probably planned this whole thing just to cause controversy in order to lure more people and ergo more money for them. That's a good marketing strategy and I will be seeing this movie.
Now can paramount present a story with this movie?
Plot twist :
1) the studio produced a fake trailer on purpose to spark fear in the Sega/Sonic fanbase.
2) the first trailers generate a worldwide buzz 6 months before the originally planned release (why would we invest in an advertisement plan ? retwitters will do it for us).
3) fans are emotionnaly concerned about the design and keep looking forward for news.
4) the studio releases the right design in a new trailer and generates the highest possible engagement rate with the Sega/Sonic fanbase.
Lol even if this movie ends up being bad, it will be a HIT
The new one better thumb up 👍🏻 the old one blah 👎🏻.
That IS Sonic.
he is so much better
What if they just did the ugly Sonic on purpose cause they knew it would go viral but had prepared a better version from the first time. Maybe it was all a strategy to have more spectators to the movie
hmmmmmm
Unpopular opinion:
This was all a marketing trick to gather more attention towards the movie
PARAMOUNT WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION...
Yeah he looks better, and slightly cuter.. But they still don't have the body shape right and he's too big in my opinion.
The new sonic is great but the old ones is like garbage it is worst thing I have ever seen in my life
These are kinda actually mistakes
Fans: MY GOD THIS SUCKS
Paramount: *UnO ReVerSe CaRd*
Sonic is the same size as Mario.
Is sonic CGI in the movie
they should make it exactly like the sega sonic
I am so happy with the new sonic and it looks so cool too
I like the new update of sonic!
2019: a child in a sonic onesie
2020: Pure perfection
Yes
I bet they had both versions ready. They put the first one out to see people’s reaction which was horrible. Smart
Im so happy for the new version i dont like the old version ;(
Wish infinity ward was capable of doing this
To show my appreciation for making the changes, I'll go watch the movie at my local AMC and not wait for it on the unnamed movie supplying app lol
I dont like new design. Its too cartoon or anime. Old trailer version is not great and need corrections, but new is not interresting.
2019: Jesus
2020: Sonic the Hedgehog
i have no choice but to stan paramount
Stop saying sayga its SEGA
SE GA SEGA
Yaw did so much better on this one because the last on was garbage
All I want is the eyes to be the actual game way. It’ll look so cool!
It looks so much better. The old and first trailer made sonic look cringe
Yes I am
Yes
Yes
i like the cartoonish look thay gave to new sonic
God thank it was better other wise I'm gonna not watch that moive
The old one was better like this coment if you agree
