Sonic the Hedgehog is a lot less weird-looking in this new trailer
SUMMARY
After decades of appearances in video games, cartoons, plush figurines, and all other manner of merchandising, Sonic the Hedgehog is getting his own live-action film.
That film — titled "Sonic the Hedgehog" — was scheduled to arrive November 2019. But the first trailer for it landed earlier this year, and the reaction was strong to say the least. Strongly negative, that is.
The issue mostly centered on the look of Sonic:

After years of cartoon depictions of the speedy blue hedgehog, the pseudo-real version of Sonic had some people freaking out. So much so, in fact, that the film's director vowed to change the look of Sonic ahead of the movie's release.
Moreover, the movie was delayed to re-work Sonic's look — it's now scheduled to arrive on Feb. 14, 2020.
Now, six months later, we've got a new trailer with a much, much less weird-looking Sonic.
No teeth! More cartoony! And he's got gloves!
