"It was a good thing that the internet bullied Paramount into fixing Sonic's horrifying human-like form in the first live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. If that hadn't happened, we likely wouldn't have gotten the great follow-ups and Keanu Reeves playing Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 . But even five years later, who wouldn't be morbidly curious to know what the movie would have looked like if Paramount hadn't gone back to the drawing board?"
"The fan remake of the 2020 film aims to recreate every shot of the movie, but with the ugly-ass hedgehog that Paramount nearly unleashed into theaters. Originally, the team of fans was going to release a trailer this week, but it has been delayed until December 24 because they weren't "completely happy" with the final result. "We wanted Sonic's animation to feel as fluid as possible, and to be honest, it would have gotten some negative reviews if we'd released it today," the announcement reads."
"To make up for the delay, the team released a brief first look showing ugly Sonic running on the inside of a washing machine, and yep, that really does look like that monstrosity in a scene from the final movie. Gross! A short clip for you all š«£Hope you like It#GottaFixFastšš¦ pic.twitter.com/2ET7vPsZSV - Sonic The Hedgehog: The 2019 Cut (@SonicCut2026) December 11, 2025"
A fan project called Sonic the Hedgehog: The 2019 Cut aims to recreate every shot of the 2020 live-action movie using Sonic's original human-like 2019 design. The team delayed a planned trailer until December 24 because they were not "completely happy" with the animation and wanted Sonic's movement to feel more fluid. The group released a brief first look showing the original design running inside a washing machine and described the clip as a compensatory tease. The full fan remake is projected to premiere online in 2026. The original ugly design later appeared voiced by Tim Robinson in a different feature.
