Ugly Sonic Returns As Fan Edit Will Restore The Infamous Original Design

Five years after the first live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie was released, fans have almost forgotten how close they came to seeing pure nightmare fuel in that blockbuster movie. The original Sonic design was a strange mix of blue fur and too many teeth, but the redesign of Sonic that followed was far more faithful to the video games. A26, a group of renegade Sonic fans, isn’t satisfied with it. They’re busy putting Ugly Sonic back into the movie, with a project called Sonic the Hedgehog: The 2019 Cut, and a trailer for it is set to be released on December 24.A26 originally intended to have the trailer out this week, but they weren’t satisfied with the result and pushed the date back a few weeks. “We wanted Sonic’s animation to feel as fluid as possible, and to be honest, it would have gotten some negative reviews if we’d released it today,” A26 wrote in a social media post. “We promise it will be totally worth it, paying tribute to the original design as it always should have been.
