Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka gave his unique take on the title character's redesign for his upcoming live-action film.
Naka unleashed a series of tweets expressing his desire to see the old design in tandem with the new design. The former Sonic Team leader wrote about the new film poster, âSonicâs new design for the movie is out. However, it seems theyâre making it as if the old design didnât exist, as the movie official accountâs old tweets were deleted. I wanted to see a special DVD version of the movie which used the old design. Too bad.â

After he spoke on the poster, Naka elaborated more on his opinion about the film's new trailer. âThis is the new trailer with Sonicâs new design. The design is much more Sonic-like now that heâs wearing gloves," he added. "However, his eyes still arenât joined together, as expected. I canât help but feel weird about that one point. But Iâm looking forward to the movieâs release.â
Helmed by Jeff Fowler, Sonic the Hedgehog stars Ben Schwartz as Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, with James Marsden, Neal McDonald, Tika Sumpter, Adam Pally and Natasha Rothwell. The film is set for release on Feb. 14, 2020.
