Editing Sonic the Hedgehog (section)

==Films==

In 2019, previews were released for a feature film by Paramount Pictures. Fans HATED it, mostly for the attempted realistic redesign of our protagonist, which fell right into the Uncanny Valley. Paramount actually delayed the release of the film by a year while they totally re-did Sonic's design, which was much appreciated by the fans. While it was in many ways a standard Buddy/Adoption flick, it did have a lot of heart, and more importantly '''Jim Carrey''' being his Jim Carreiest playing Dr. Robotnik.  

To the surprise of everyone, it worked, in basically the same way the 1989 version of Batman worked (ie, letting the villain's much better actor eat the scenery).  It worked well enough to earn a sequel, which brought in Tails and Knuckles and set up for a third installment to add Shadow in December 2024.
