Paramount Pictures on Tuesday revealed the first trailer for its live-action Sonic The Hedgehog movie, causing a little bit of a stir online.
The movie, which seems to be yet another action-comedy about a man and an animated video game character trying to save the world, features a very odd looking Sonic voiced by actor Ben Schwartz.
No ad to show here.
Fans on Twitter expressed their opinions about the real-life blue hedgehog, with some even suggesting how the movie producers could have made him look less creepy.

Many believe that it’s Sonic’s eyes and body proportions that are the main problem.
Simply changing Sonic’s eyes makes the character model look ten times more appealing! #SonicMovie pic.twitter.com/EaoMQh603U
