A ton of poppy, fun, bright, newSonic the Hedgehogposters were revealed at CCXP 2019. Collider’s Editor-in-Chief,Steve Weintraub, was on deck at CCXP 2019 in Brazil today when he came across an array of new posters with a pop-art aesthetic at theSonicstand. The film, set to arrive in February 2020, featuresBen Schwartz(Parks & Recreation) as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog,Jim Carreyas Dr. Ivo Robotnik, andJames Marsdenas Sonic’s human friend, Tom.
There were nearly a dozen newSonicposters revealed at CCXP 2019. Featuring big, bold designs reminiscent of the Sega video game on which it’s based, theseSonicposters focused on Sonic and Robotnik, either sharing the frame or separately. The ones of Robotnik make particularly good use of his mustache, which is oversized to the point of comedy in the video games. In one poster, the shadow of Robotnik looms above Sonic, his handlebar mustache extending to ridiculous lengths. Other posters focused on Sonic make good use of the ring imagery, reminiscent of the gold rings he collects in the video game. Another clever one turns Sonic’s outline into a neon sign, while another riffs on a memorable momentfrom the firstSonictrailerwhere he’s surrounded by a ton of missiles.
After the ruckus raised around the firstSonictrailer released back in April, directorJeff Fowlerpublicly promised to put the Sonic character through a re-design to hopefully result in something more appealing to prospective audiences. Luckily, it seems like that re-design worked becausethe second trailer, released in November, featured a Sonic much closer to the Sega version of the tiny blue speedster. With the re-design over and done with, we can focus on what’s important: the plot ofSonic the Hedgehog. Per the trailer, it looks like Sonic will break through space and time, crossing over from his tropical, gold ring-filled world into our own and will be pursued by his longtime nemesis, Doctor Robotnik, who intends to use Sonic’s super speed for his own dastardly purposes. It’s up to Sonic and his friend Tom to figure out a way to outsmart Robotnik before it’s too late.
