In May, a trailer for the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie dropped, and vocal fans complained about CGI Sonic’s apparently “too human” teeth. The beloved blue creature was taken back to the digital drawing board and Paramount pushed the movie back to a February 2020 release so it could be completely redesigned. I loved the original Sonic’s gigantic smile the way that I love the giant denture model that adorns every dental exam room—it was an aspirational image, in a way. But it doesn’t matter now. An updated trailer with Sonic’s new face has been revealed. It is not aspirational. He looks fine. I feel nothing.
