Update: The UK version of the new Sonic movie trailer is embedded above, and is a little different to the US video released earlier. Give it a watch.
Original Story: The reaction to the first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was pretty intense. The blue blur's questionable CG design was largely labeled a failure -- so much so that Paramount Pictures went back to the drawing board to make changes to the character. Now, after several rumours and leaks, we can see the new and improved Sonic in this latest trailer for the film.
It goes without saying that the new design is a huge step forward. This new version of the character is more in line with the hedgehog we're all familiar with. The oddly human proportions are gone, replaced with something much closer to Sonic's original look. Thank goodness for that.
Aside from all that, the new trailer is pretty good. This film was never going to win awards, but we think this will be at least worth a watch. At the end of the day, it'll be a harmless, just-okay movie adaptation of the fastest thing alive. What do you think of the new Sonic movie trailer? Are you pleased with the hedgehog's new design? Will you pay to see this dumb flick? Grab some popcorn in the comments below.

Looks really cool to me. I'm definitely watching it.
i really like the new look and to be fair the film looks like it's a fun little movie, which we need in this day and age of films being all serious
Looks fun! Iam definitely gonna see it in cinema.
But what will be next? Mario movie?
Along with a redesigned sonic they also cleverly showed green hill zone, could be a fun time, definitely take my nieces and Nephews to see it!
@dantewalter Pretty sure an animated Mario movie is in the works at Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me).
Any chance the first trailer was done simply for publicity knowing they'd get a huge reaction from the internet and then could capitalise on that? I'm not cynical at all but it wouldn't be too far-fetched (and kinda clever too)
@hi_drnick If the film came out on the original date then I would be thinking that too but since they delayed it, it was most probably for that reason.
Just seen the previous trailer, forgot how bad the design was, so much improved. Though I still would have preferred a full CGI movie in Sonic's world then this live action hybrid.
That's much MUCH better ! Can't beleive they messed it up in the first place but this version looks like Sonic can't wait to see the movie 😁
Hey this looks good, I'm more interested in this movie now
i think this picture puts everything into perspective, seeing them side by side even i can tell the original was just wrong and i was one of the people who didn't mind the original design
Yeah I agree with @FullbringIchigo, this new design (which is good) just highlights how unbelievably bad the original was. Who knows what they were thinking.
I mean, of course, Sonic's new design is wonderful, but is the script different? The humor seems WAY less obnoxious in this new trailer. They definitely removed: "Uh... meow?"
I'm... sort of excited to see this?
I hope this movie does well. Still super impressed they extensively reworked what was basically a complete movie already.
Amazing what a change in design, tone and music can do for a film, it looks so much better now. I really hope the film is good.
That actually looks really good
Definitely will see this in the cinema, if only to provide Paramount with some positive reinforcement. Responding to the concerns of fans in such a concrete, comprehensive way deserves the benefit of the doubt I feel.
Paramount's done a bang-up job tricking people into thinking this movie isn't going to suck.
@Quintumply i thought you might like to know that the UK trailer is actually different to the U.S trailer, maybe you could add it to the article

@FullbringIchigo Thanks!
Much much better 👌🏾
Sonic looks incredible!!
@FullbringIchigo
Not only that but the size was wrong. It was basically a human being dressed up.
I also like how some personalities like JS from Kotaku were blaming people because their sjw , virtue signaling bs.
Looks great now and probably a success.
@JJ2 how is redesigning Sonic SJW or virtue signaling?
it was redesigned because the vast majority of the public hated the design because they felt it was a bad design, whoever this JS is sounds like a moron
@FullbringIchigo
Because the company had to get the staff on crush ect etc to everything done. I agree with you. It was silly to blame people who weren't happy with the design.
So they went back and did the thing that they should have done to start with, anyway. That is, make the main character look a bit more faithfully like what his most popular design is/ has been for years. Who ever decided otherwise and led the previously drastic and horrendous figure to be created should get fired. And I mean, set alight.
@Ralizah Sorry i really liked that part.
