Usually I wake up to the dulcet tones of the Super Mario Bros. theme song bleating from my phone, but this morning something was different. Today I awoke to the distinct sound of a blue creature collecting golden rings and the quick pitter patter of feet pounding across the pavement. I opened my eyes to discover that Paramount had dropped the lovely new trailer above for SONIC THE HEDGEHOG for the entire world to enjoy. They even upped the speed with a new poster too!
You may recall that when the last trailer dropped several months ago, many were none too pleased with the design of Sonic. Legions of fans complained about his odd human teeth and perfectly sculpted calves. This led to Paramount pulling the project altogether so they could completly redesign Sonic's look. (I guess we should never doubt the power of pissed off people on the Internet.) Well based on this trailer it appears as if the redesign looks much more in line with the original SEGA videogame.
While the trailer itself appears to be firmly aimed at children, I can't deny that there's a certain nostalgia appeal. It looks to be a fun romp about saving the world and the power of friendship. Also I believe Jim Carrey as Dr. Ivo Robotnik is inspired casting.
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG starring the voice of Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Adam Pally, and Neal McDonough speeds its way into theaters February 14, 2020.
