After significant blowback from fans following the first trailer for the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie and then a promise to change Sonics bizarre look before the movies immanent November 2019 release date director Jeff Fowler took to Twitter once more to announce that the films release date is getting pushed back. All this over a bunch of teeth.

Happy Valentines Day! If you cant decipher that unwieldy hashtag, it says No VFX artists were harmed in the making of this movie. That may be true, technically. We would hope that the VFX artists and animators working on this barreling train crash of a project are getting paid handsomely for the extra three months of work. At the very least, theyll no longer be rushing to change their CGI main characters entire design, frame by frame, before autumn.
Still, the fact that fan uproar has caused this much hemorrhaging of time and resources is a little troubling! Real human labor goes into making these movies, whether the character design creeps you out or not. The whole Sonicdebacle feels like a slippery slope that other productions, when confronted with similar mass criticism, have wisely sidestepped; you didnt see Disney postponing production on the newAladdin remake, even after the internet universally said eeehhh over Blue Genie Will Smith.
