Paramount delays release of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ movie to fix main character’s design

There was backlash when the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog dropped last month. The design had been, as Engadget describes it, nightmare-inducing. Now, Paramount just announced that it is pushing back the release of the film “to make Sonic just right.” The film was originally slated for a November 2019 release, but now it’s been pushed back to February 14, 2020. Let’s hope they’ll be able to get the look right. We think Detective Pikachu might have set the bar for how cute yet realistic these animated characters could be if done right.
