Gotta go fast back into the editing bay, in the case of Sonic The Hedgehog . In a surprise move, director Jeff Fowler took to Twitter to respond to fan criticism of the new Sonic The Hedgehog movie design which came fast and hard after the new trailer was released earlier this week. IGN has reached out to Paramount for comment.

Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be... #sonicmovie #gottafixfast — Jeff Fowler (@fowltown) May 2, 2019

Watch the trailer below:"Thank you for the support. And the criticism," Fowler tweeted . "You aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be... #sonicmovie #gottafixfast"Both the initial reveal of the Sonic silhouette , which IGN exclusively debuted in December, and the new trailer received mixed-to-negative feedback from fans. Interestingly, Paramount, SEGA and the rest of the Sonic creative team seem to have already implemented fixes to the initial criticism about Sonic The Hedgehog's muscular legs, which was a point of contention in the poster reveal, as they seem to have been removed from the character design in this new trailer.The latest subject of controversy is Sonic's teeth, which critics jokingly compared to veneers and claimed didn't feel true to the character. The Internet conversation also inspired IGN to see what other famous video game characters would look like with teeth (so if you ever wanted to see a Pikmin with a full set of chompers, your dream has come true).It's unclear what the "fixes" will be and just how deep a redesign will go, but regardless, this is a rather unprecedented move for a studio to change a design that is so far down the road to completion. Sonic The Hedgehog is due in theaters in the United States on November 8th, and though the film's effects are probably relatively far from being finished, this is still late in the game to do any overhaul on what seemingly was a pretty locked design.For a better look at the Sonic The Hedgehog trailer, check out this gallery of images below:Sonic The Hedgehog’s release date is on November 8, 2019 in the US, November 28 in Australia, and December 26 in the UK.
