Many Sonic fans were struck with a familiar feeling back in December when a slight teaser of the new LIVE ACTION Sonic film was released. Fans of the blue speedster were given a glimpse of his meaty legs and his trademark red and white sneakers. Bewildered, confused and slightly off putting, these are just some of the emotions that life-long Sonic fans have dealt with. Given the slew of Sonic games they’ve had to endure, I can’t blame them. But now we get to put a face to the hairy blue legs and well… Let’s just say that perhaps final judgement should be held back until the film is released.
Hamagami/Carroll, Inc. Leaked the first appearance of Sonic by what they seem to call “a modern take on a brand without abandoning its core essence.” Yea I bet Sonic fans have never heard that before. The leaked images also display Sonic’s personality. Unlike the incarnations before where Sonic was sarcastic and too cool for school, it seems this time he’ll be “likeable and chill”
So as fans gather more information and images regarding their favorite talking hedgehog, we can only hope that the final product will be enjoyable and entertaining. Oh, and please no Tails, save him for the sequel…
The film is in theaters Nov. 8, 2019
