Leaked Sonic the Hedgehog movie design looks like a dollar-store cereal mascot

Yep, and that’s fine…
the only overlap is four limbs and some spines…

Absurd caricatures can work fine for some media, but where this goes wrong is taking an absurd caricature and then trying to re-normalise some of it…

It simply doesn’t work, what you end up is amplified ‘uncanny valley’ effects that just look ‘wrong’ on every level to most people…

Honestly they should have kept the animation style from the original cartoon series and overlaid it onto 3D film Roger rabbit style… It’d still be somewhat nonsensical, but at least look far less wrong than this abomination…
