Back in April of this year, we set eyes on the first live-action Sonic the Hedgehog trailer. And although for many fans it was a long-awaited moment, it definitely didn’t live up to the hype. Dozens of posts, memes, and jibes followed the original design of the beloved blue hedgehog that for many was a symbol of their childhood. In fact, the outrage and mockery were so harsh that it prompted the director of the film, Jeff Fowler, to make an announcement on Twitter promising fans that the production will rework Sonic’s design to fit the fans’ expectations.

While new memes followed the second trailer, showing off just how much people thought the prospects of the movie were improved by tweaking one blue CGI hedgehog, we must not forget the hard work the animator team must have put in to produce the final product.
