In response to this criticism, the team behind Sonic did something drastic – they delayed the movie’s release in order to allow a full character redesign. Stephen Lambrechts at Tech Radar ranted about “the film’s grotesque Sonic design”, while Kotaku reported that even Sonic’s co-creator Yuji Naka had raised concerns. Just to give you a taste of what I’m talking about: Andy Chalk at PC Gamer called the first movie poster “ creepy as hell”. Things only got worse as more promotional material was leaked and the first official trailer dropped. The immediate reaction from fans and critics was poor, to say the least. Our first peek at the new Sonic movie was back at the end of 2018, when test footage was screened at the Comic Con Experience in Brazil, shortly followed by a teaser poster. If we’re going to talk about this movie, we better start a little earlier, as a lot went down behind the scenes before Sonic made its way to the big screen. What a way to spend Valentine’s Day 2020, right?īut I’m getting ahead of myself. We were surprised by the number of young kids in the audience, many of them wearing Sonic clothing and hats, or clutching bright blue toys.
The theatre was packed and there was a palpable buzz in the air. I did not go into the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie with high hopes.īack in February, I walked into the cinema on release day fully expecting to have to comfort my partner – a lifelong Sonic fan – on the way out.
