A shocking news for Sonic fans - Roger Craig Smith, who has been the English voice of Sonic for 10 years, is leaving the role.

Movie Sonic will get a redesign! Sonic creators' reaction

News from 2019.05.02-03
Archived on 2019.05.04

A couple of days passed from the 'Sonic the Movie trailer impact' - after seeing the first trailer featuring a blue furry creature we are totally not familiar with, most of the fans were mad or at least skeptical about the design of Sonic. Even the people who are involved in development of original Sonic series, and moreover the creators of Sonic himself - Ohshima-san the artist and Naka-san the game programmer - were confused and worried about the drastic change of their beloved son.

My energy was drained over these two days and I even had nightmare because of the design. It was already decided that I was to mourn over what they have done to Sonic forever. And I still will.

Yet, to our surprise: a Twitter account, which seems to belong the movie's director Jeff Fowler, posted following words:

Wow. I can't believe what I'm seeing here.
But I'd gladly take this offer.

No wonder they had to make some move after having this much of thumbs-down on the trailer.



The news spread like wildfire and reached the creators of Sonic quickly as well. Here are their reaction:

As rumored on the former day, Paramount dropped their first posters and a trailer for Sonic the Movie.

Woah it's finally there.

In case you don't, and if you are 120% sure you are prepared to see anything on the screen, here is the video.

Not recommended for those who have very high and concrete ideal for Sonic's appearance and attitude.
