You might recall that a
Sonic The Hedgehog movie is
releasing later this year and you might also recall that its promotional posters were the subject of
many memes and
controversies due to the "realistic" nature of the protagonist's CGI. However, no full reveal was made regarding the full form of the character, that is until now. Behold as you get your first look at what the producers of the movie envision Sonic to look like:
The image comes from advertising agency
Hamagami / Carroll, Inc. 's website page for the Hollywood movie (which has since been taken down). The page notes that the character's design is “a new modern take on the brand without abandoning its core essence”. In addition to several images of movie CGI Sonic's character, the page further gave more information regarding Sonic's “brand personality” noting that he is "heroic and adventurous", "mischievous but not malicious" but also "chill and likable".
While these images have been taken down from the company's website and not confirmed, do note that Hamagami / Carroll, Inc. has worked with both games and movies before, so they are not totally new to the medium. But you can nevertheless take this news with a pinch of salt.
Would you be seeing
Sonic the Hedgehog in theatres on November 15, 2019 when it airs? What are your thoughts about the design and "realistic" take?
