Joining Pokémon: Detective Pikachu in the shiny, big-budget video game movie genre next year is Sonic the Hedgehog, a film starring a realistic-looking version of everyone's favourite speedy blue hedgehog. The first poster for the film has now been released, and we (and the entire internet, it seems) can't help but notice Sonic's new, impeccable muscles.
As you can see in the short clip below, Sonic seems to have been given a more human-like body; the still image actually looks like a man wearing a giant Sonic costume head to us. With the amount of physical exercise Mr. the Hedgehog does with his constant running and coin collecting, it does kind of make sense for him to be a little more muscular, but it's still going to be tough to get used to this new physique.
Of course, we already know that comedian Ben Schwartz (Duck Tales, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) will voice Sonic in the film, with Jim Carrey playing the villainous Dr. Eggman, but other details are yet to be shared. We do know, however, that the film is scheduled for release on 8th November 2019.
What do you think about Sonic's new look? Do you think it looks as good as Pikachu's live-action adaptation? Let us know your thoughts below.

And there I thought Mr. Mime was disturbing in the Detective Pikachu trailer. Really hard to imagine this being anything but awful, but we'll see when the trailer drops I guess?
I could see this turning out to be as interesting as Detective Pikachu. Although, I could also see this being another Sonic Boom...
Looks like sonic Unleashed
This is more awful than I could have imagined.
They took inspirations from Sonic Dreams Collection.
I love Sonic but am NOT going to support this!
Sonic meet Usain Bolt.
"watch out, you're gonna crash! Ahhhh!"
I don’t trust like that
They didn’t Live and Learn.
Looks worse than the Sonic Boom version.
They really haven't a clue have they?! He just looks like a chimpanzee with a punk hair style!
If this isn't a train wreck I will be surprised.
I am already seeing a dark origin story about a genetically-enchanced hedgehog who turns against his creator....
It looks rather weird - he's a bit muscular, his eye seems to be popping out and he has shoelaces... I'll give it the benefit of a doubt, but honestly, I don't think anybody's expecting this to turn out good.
Thanks, I hate it.
Horrifying!
I miss this Sonic:
Can’t wait to see how stupid the rest of the cast looks! I want to watch this just to see how horrendous it is.
Also: Robotnik > Eggman
See, what I liked about Detective Pikacu was that they TRIED to match the appearances of the Pokemon. It was something that could definitely grown on me.
Here? I must say Sonic look very weird. His shoes look very out of place and where's his gloves?
Comments in general: I hate it already!!! Give my sonic back!
Nightmare fuel.
Hmm... well, I guess they didn't want him having his usual string bean arms and legs, but hmm... Yeah, Imma need to see the final non-silhouette version before I give my final verdict lol
Oh my goodness...this is gonna be bad... especially since it will be compared to the competent detective Pikachu.
Hemorrhaging money right and left
Huh. Funny it's from the producer of The Fast and The Furious. The Fast being Sonic, the furious being the fanbase in recent years...
This is going to be a massive train wreck. As a life-long Sonic fan I've gotten used to disappointment though, so what's this compared to Sonic Boom?
With mistakes like this, I wonder how the Sonic IP isn't dead at this rate.
Mario had his bad movie. Now Sonic gets to have his!
So Ken Penders is doing character design for this movie?
all abroad the Rule 34 train !
choo choo choo choo
As you can tell, I love sonic games. Although this is pretty much just disgusting. It looks like boom sonic and the werehog were thrown into a blender! I'll still likely watch the movie, but this just looks wierd. I would much rather perfer him exaclty how he looks in the games, but just with fur-like quils. If this poster came out before detective pikachu, I would likely be more on board with this.
A Detective Pikachu movie taking place in the US with freaky over-rendered monsters.
A Mario film by Illumination, where Miyamoto & Co. get to police everything hard.
And now a Sonic Movie starring a chimpanzee with a hairdo in between a mullet and a mohawk.
Please...
...delete this photo from my mind
"A whole new speed of Hero". I interpret this to mean that either the producers were taking Speed or that we going have to take it just to get through this film.
*Ring collecting not coins.
Makers from fast n furious?? No wonder sonic has to buffed, those guys totally love sweaty buffed guys.
No no no no no no
Sonic knows you should never skip leg day.
Nope. I don't like this timeline.
a single still is not enough to get a picture of this, but it definitely looks a bit off for now.
Agghh its the Wearhog 😱
Kill it. Kill it now
@sauce Problem is the Sonic Boom TV show was actually decent. The game was crud. So this so far is a huge step down.
This poster confirms the film will be a total flop.
They should have done a CGI version of the original 90's era sonic.
As long as they can still get Jaleel White, we're good.
Otherwise....this is bad.
Oooh yah. Sonic is making good progress with his BMI. Hopefully, Eggman has lost weight or he'll be looking... Well rather eggy
Notice how many people said "it looks creepy in the picture but it's much better in motion" with the Pikachu movie?
That's why they released a trailer first, Sonic movie guys.
Just gonna say, I have absolutely no hope that this will be good.
this is going to be garbage
Thanks! I hate it!
No thanks, it's gonna suck.
Looks to be exactly the kind of schlock I was looking forward to!
I'm ecstatic!
Reminds me of Sonic in Sonic Boom. I like the classic Sonic look better.
"constant running and coin collecting"
Just like the rings that Mario collects?
If this is what Sonic looks like. Imagine robotnik.....
Also KILL IT WITH FIRE! How does it already look so soooo bad
@Goldenlion54 the show or the game?
This already looks wacky. Can't wait for a full reveal
I love Sonic, but this is horrifying.
Also I didn't know Sonic collected coins.
@Spectra That's what I was thinking too.
Shame people are already throwing it in the trash, by only seeing this poster. Cmon ppl, wait for the trailer before you judge When first i heard of detective pikachu i had little intrest, but then the trailer blew me away.
On a side note, im one of the few ppl who liked the Warcraft movie so... Yeah xD
Just noticed the bulging eye. What are those eyes going to look like...?
Chronic the Bodgejob.
His proportions are horrendously off point. Who is responsible for this? It's awful! like a blue Blanka!
Once they hired Jim Carrey, I knew this would be bad.
But this just confirms it.
...I'll keep an eye out for a lot of critic AND end-viewer reviews before going to this one.
The good thing about this, is when they make a Mario, Monster Hunter, or Street Fighter movie that's an absolute disaster in motion, it's an inexcusable departure from canon and the source material and devalues the brand.
If the Sonic movie turns into an unwanted train-wreck that's barely even tolerable, it will stand as an accurate representation of the source material, and be adopted instantly into canon.
.... Oh no..... I'm not a Sonic fan but this looks not good. It's like that version of power rangers.
Why doesnt anyone want to stay with the real design of Sonic?
Looks better than Boom's design at least...
Oh man. Why can't they just leave Sonic a small amount of dignity? This is going to be a whole new low.
Oh... What horrors have they created?
Sonic is a cartoon character, he does well as a cartoon character. Un-cartooning a cartoon character is a delicate process. People are only now realizing now how eff'd up some Pokemon would look in the flesh and that's paying close attention to their actual designs.
When you opt to redesign it, it says you have no confidence in the original material. Which says you don't know what was so appealing about the design in the first place. Which says you don't know what you're doing.
I can't wait to see the trailer.
@Ralizah Here's a leaked scene from the live action trailer. Looks like it's set in Emerald Coast:
https://youtu.be/xva5xY3ZB1I
What did you say? COIN collecting?!
Sweet, I can't unsee it!
I mean, the head looks alright, its just everything else doesn't match up.
I need to go back to the gamma timeline.
@NEStalgia Yeah... No.
So, Jim Carrey voicing Eggman, a producer who has no clear knowledge on the franchise, and Sonic looking like...that? I smell a firestorm coming.
It's begun! That creeping horror that follows when you save some hope for a new Sonic-anything
Jokes aside, I understand how Sonic's spaghetti limbs would look weird in a realistic set, yet, I don't believe this is the answer the fans will enjoy
Way past uncool!!!
I want to see Segata Sanshiro to punish these idiots!
Why??? Games to films don't go!!! ... Do it only if it like anime or something not this! .... I'm worried about the eyes lol
This movie is gonna crash and burn and I'll be laughing my butt off when seeing it
"How about NOOOOO Scott!"
As long as his eyes aren't separated, I think the immersion will remain intact.

Apologies, nothing constructive to say other than "what the actual fudge!?!".
This movie is slowly becoming Sonic ‘06 2: Sonic ‘19.
Well on the bright side... this makes Sonic 06 look good.
But really what is the point of making a film of a well known series and giving the character a hyper realistic look to the point he looks nothing like Sonic from his games and Consoles have come a long way, it's the 2D era or early 3D era anymore
Despite the odd design had in Sonic 06, he still looked like Sonic
@NIN10DOXD Because Sonic Mania happen, Disney got Sonic right in the Wreak it Ralph movies and the Sonic Boom cartoon was alright.
and the new Sonic Racing game looks decent.. It's not much but SEGA's doing more with Sonic then Namco is doing with Pac-Man.
Wait is this for real??
Vin Diesel did the motion capture.
It looks like the silhouette of a person in a mascot costume.
@Pod In Miyamoto's defense, his franchise was turned into that strange and awful mario bros movie. This can't be much worse then that, and it might be slightly better.
The Detective Pikachu movie is full of unintentional nightmare fuel for sure. Lol
@John_Koshiro Crank maybe?
@PixelTavern Robuffnik? XD
Gotta juice fast
Well...Metroid Prime 4 didn't go the way we thought it was going!
No no no.
Ok nl i wil put in more
The marketing department, after how well the silhouette is received by the internet:
"You uh... can change the model of Sonic and rerender the scenes, right? ... Right?"
And I thought detective Pikachu looked creepy
"People are gonna love our creative reinterpretation of Sonic... but just show the silhouette for now!"
"Ok we've done a render, but the silhouette looks a bit like a man with a bobble head..."
"Don't worry, it'll keep everyone in suspense!"
backfires
Honestly, why not just go all the way at this point.
@Pod Technically it takes place in a new region where pokemons of 1st to 7th generation of pokemons live in actually.
@BensonUii Um...Are you not seeing the way he lloks in the poster?
@Tempestryke Or is intentional given the Pokedex descriptions of some of those pokemons.
People tend to bash movies no matter what (IMO) I've seen some films rated in the 6.x-7.x range on IMDB and thought they deserved higher scores, even though those scores are classed as average 6 to 7 good, even the odd film rated in just the 5.x range seemed underrated.
Of course just my opinion, and everyone has different taste of course. But it made me not to fully trust scores for films at least.
As for this film I've no clue how it will turn out.. When i first heard Jim Carrey was playing Robotnik i was a bit surprised, Jim isn't the same person as he used to be.. Not like he was in Liar Liar, The Mask and Ace Ventura anyway.
This is not juice and jam time. o_O
Why is everyone complaining about Jim Carey?
He's great.
> "running and coin collecting"
You. In my office now.
@Tempestryke Hes no longer got the big belly. HES GOT THE 6 PACK!
Blue arms? Uh oh.
Some very, very belated DLC for Viewtiful Joe... a Sonic skin??
@MushHill_Act1-1 Just the overall character design. I mean, Classic sonic to Modern sonic was cool, Modern to Sonic Boom wasn't great. And now we have this monstrosity...
A proper Sonic film, in 2D if possible. Sonic CD opening like.
This is just a guy with a giant Sonic head. It will be a fiasco. Meanwhile Mario will debut in an Illumination film, which is scary because he shouldn't be much of a talker, but this poster scares me more.
Looks like a man in a suit
Gross, ugly, stupid, sad.
PS: This don't look AT ALL like Sonic Unleashed. Sonic Unleashed was really good actually.
Classic Sonic is the best one but they managed to do things the right way with Sonic unleashed imo.
This is just crap even if it is only vaguely representative of the final product.
@Tempestryke
Sure, I'm not saying the Mario film will be bad because of Miyamoto and the other Mario brand managers, just that it might end up a little toothless. Or just nipple-less.
@Pod lol
That's just gross
this looks like garbage.
And people shouldnt compare this with pokemon D.Pikachu.
D.Pikachu still has the cartoony designs but with realistic details while this seems like another Super Mario Bors movie like in the 90's.
Lol. Too many discussions for this thread, Liked them all though. https://silentghosthd.com/ is best app to see all upcoming movies and we will come back here and will discuss again

There were quite a few problems with them, the lights burned out, the dial faded. It was tinted and tinted by hand. The dial is actually black, the hardware is painted in blue, green or red. Green and red clocks were also used and broadcast, but I suppose I don’t remember this, apparently then I was still small, or maybe I wasn’t even there at all. http://www.shiftyfilm.com
