A new piece of fan art for Sonic the Hedgehog has surfaced online and it may just be the best redesign for the live-action movie we’ve seen yet.
The upcoming Sonic movie received a lot of criticism when its first official trailer was released online. This was largely due to the character’s live-action design. The old Sonic movie design brought the character to life with fur, not unlike Pikachu in the live-action Pokémon film, with teeth and smaller eyes. Visual effects artists are now working to fix the look due to fan outcry and some have even taken it upon themselves to illustrate what they want.
The latest piece of Sonic fan art keeps the realistic blue fur, but gives the titular speedster more expressive eyes. While the official redesign has yet to be revealed, this fan art may be the best looking version yet. You can check it out below.

Here is the official synopsis for the Sonic movie:
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster video game franchise from Sega that centres on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination.
Directed by Jeff Fowler from a script written by Patrick Casey, Josh Miller, and Oren Uziel, the upcoming film features the voice talent of Ben Schwartz as the titular character and stars James Marsden as sheriff Tom Wachowski, Jim Carrey as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Neal McDonough as US Army Major Bennington, Tika Sumpter as Mrs. Wachowski, Lee Majdoub as Stone, and Frank C. Turner as Crazy Carl. Adam Pally, Natasha Rothwell, Debs Howard, and Elfina Luk also star in undisclosed roles.
Sonic the Hedgehog hits theaters on February 14, 2020. Stay tuned for the latest news on the movie!
