That live action Sonic the Hedgehog movie coming later this year? Seemed like a bad idea from day one, and now the internet's freaking out over Sonic's supposed form in the upcoming film. See that up at the top of the article? That's probably him.
Apparently, a style guide for the movie has leaked, revealing Sonic's somewhat creepy character design. We're not sure he looks that great in isolation, so god knows what he'll look like in a live action film. Hell, it's weird enough just seeing Sonic with two separate eyeballs.
Indicative of an incoming disaster, or simply misunderstood? Give us an honest opinion in the comments section below.

Dear god no. That is disturbing.
Ahhh, it's
Not the worst thing I've ever seen.
Not as bad as the Mario movie's goombas.
Oh no... .
Well I'm not going to bed anytime soon.
That's disturbing but not as disturbing as what freaking Jim Carrey as EGGMAN!!! will look like
Jesus...just...wow
It can’t be real. It looks fan made!
Not as creepy as Lickitung in Detective Pikachu but GOOODDD what did they do to you boy?!
@get2sammyb I don't think a real fan of Sonic would subject us to this monstrosity, Sammy.
Am I wrong in thinking it's not... Terrible? Like the article says it's certainly not great, but I was honestly expecting worse.
But then again, we haven't seen him actually in the movie. I don't know how you fit this thing into a live action scene without it looking ridiculous.
It looks ok, why?
Not liking it, maybe it will be better in action. Who am I kidding? 😑
Oh wow, I didn't even realise the whole separate eyes things until you mentioned it. Now it looks even worse. Now I'm just waiting for news of a human love interest.
Everything about this looks wrong. It's gotta be real then. 🙄
It doesn't look as bad as the form of other characters that came to film light (Garfield, Odie from Garfield and many more)...but it will probably flop...the main reason it will flop...JIM CARREY. If they even wanted it to do good, at least put an actor that doesn't over-act and at least had a movie that did good within the past 15 years. Dumb and Dumber Too was a flop and Mr. Popper's Penguins didn't help. Then, he ends up going on talk shows and talks trash about his movies (remember the Kick A** 2 speal). If he doesn't make it flop, then the audience that doesn't go see it will make it happen. But...at least it's not a sequel to the awful Rocky And Bullwinkle live-action movie that was made!!!!
@ShogunRok I agree. I expected so much worse that this seems like the best they could've done. I mean, what were people expecting?
I'm genuinly at a loss for words.
We have this, but no Uncharted movie?
To be fair Sonic would be somewhat difficult to reimagine as a more realistic cig character, but it doesn't really matter as long as kids like the film.
Seen this about 2 month ago. Its legit. Such a terrible design, they could have done alot better
It's a shame that nobody ever made a 3D Sonic game that they could have copied the design from 🤔
Honestly? Love it. Jim Carey as Robotnic. Can’t wait.
It looks a bit freaky. Is it a new Momo?
This is gonna be terrible.
Should've made it animated ala Spider-Verse style.
@ApostateMage It is indeed. And the final blood curdling challenge it delivers is to go watch the movie.
@Eldritch Ha! Touché.
What I don't get is why his spikes are furry.
And Sonic the Hedgehog was actually Sonicfox all along. What a revelation
You know what? That's nowhere near as bad as it could've been.
@Quintumply
Isnt Sonic a hedgehog little thing with a small body, long legs and big head and of course the well known eyes.
This looks like a normal guy wearing a furry costume
honestly the design isn't that bad although the movie is still probably going to flop
just wait until we get the Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie: The Game using this Sonic (hey if it played well then i would be OK with it)
@JLPick Sorry but he has some brilliant movies look them up at IMDB.
@JJ2 I'm not saying the design is great, but it's certainly not terrible. It could easily be worse.
I think the live-action Detective Pikachu design looks better.
Yeah, I really don't think it's all that bad. I mean given it's going to be live action what else could be expected of them? I think they've handled the conjoined eyeball thing quite well personally. And really can't say I find it creepy at all.
This is all aside from the fact that a live-action Sonic's a bad idea, of course.
It all went wrong for Sonic when he started looking like Ronan Keating with his hair dyed blue.
I think its just the buff harry legs lolol
@MadAussieBloke That artwork is stunning. I'd love it if that ended up being the real poster.
