first trailer for the movie was the target of backlash on social media.

The video game adaptation has been long in the making. But it seems perhaps a little more time should've been spent vetting Sonic's look. Fans criticized it as too realistic. His muscular, human-like legs came under fire, as did the presence of teeth (as seen above). The original video game Sonic had thin, stick-like legs and definitely no bicuspids.

Well, have no fear, because the movie's director, Jeff Fowler, is vowing to change the design:

That figures to be an enormous task — Sonic is the main character and undoubtedly required a ton of CGI work already. And the movie is slated for release November 8. Somewhere, a bunch of visual effects designers are groaning and cancelling their vacations.
