Pokémon Detective Pikachu is coming out this month to the excitement of many fans across the world. However, when it comes to beloved video game characters jumping to the big screens, not everyone is as lucky as Pikachu. When it was announced that Sonic the Hedgehog is getting his own live-action movie, fans were pretty excited. Unfortunately, the hype died down with the first glimpses of the animated character design, and people's reactions turned into a complete riot by the time the first trailer for Sonic movie dropped at the end of April.
Why is everyone unhappy? Well, one only needs to take a single look at Sonic to see that something is... off. The majority of people couldn't help but notice that their once beloved cartoonish hedgehog now has human-like anatomy that makes him look simply uncanny. The other feature that many couldn't overlook without freaking out is his teeth. Fans kept poking fun at the cartoon character, drawing comparisons, and creating hilariously funny memes.
The public outcry soon forced the creators to take another look at what they've created and soon enough, the director of the film, Jeff Fowler, made an announcement on Twitter. Fowler reassured fans that the creative team behind Sonic the Hedgehog takes fans seriously, and their message has been heard. He went on to confirm that they intend to change Sonic's design by finishing the tweet with a hashtag #gottafixfast
