After a few months of leaks and speculation, we finally have the first trailer for the film based on classic Sega game mascot Sonic the Hedgehog.
If you’re familiar with the character, this CG version may look a little odd. Thankfully, Twitter is here to break it down.
Coffie_Hime gets it right on the nose.
I saw the trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog and the first thing I saw was that Sonic’s nose is, in fact, a Greek style black olive pic.twitter.com/bS57p6YohO

LesserKnownCap wonders if “Sonic” might just be a lost child.

Double Toasted thinks some fans did a better job than the films actual CG department:
These fan made versions look so good that it baffles me that the studio went in the complete opposite direction. #Sonic #Sonicthehedgehog pic.twitter.com/bfHo3BSIEy

Naturally, with another video game adaptation about to come out, comparisons are going to happen.

The Sonic movie comes out on November 8th, starring Westworld’s James Marsden and Jean-Ralphio himself, Ben Schwartz as the voice of the hedgehog. Will you be watching it? Or does this CG Sonic scare you off?
