Still here? Then you know that Sonic the Hedgehog makes an appearance at a comic con during the events of Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers. However, the character's not exactly how we remember – this is "Ugly Sonic", the original version of Sonic, voiced by Ben🍃 Schwartz, that was scheduled to appear in the live-action movie.
After a huge backlash online following the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first Sonic trailer, which had everyone talking about the creature's weirdly human teeth, the character was redesigned. As we know, though, the internet never forgets, and Ugly Sonic has long been a meme. Now, he's made a comeback, thanks to ♌Schaffer's movie.
Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers director Akiva Schaffer on "Ugly Sonic" cameo
What's perhaps most remarkable about the cameo – other than the f൩act Ugly Sonic actually has about two minutes of screentime in Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers – is that the animation company who first designed that version of Sonic actually helped bring the character back to the screen.
"The company MPC did our whole movie," Schaffer tells us. "They also did [the 2019] 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lion King. They’re doing the new Pinocchio. They did 1917, that&ౠrsquo;s not an animated movie, but, uh, they also did Sonic."
"So, Yes," he say🦋s. "They also did Ugly Sonic, the OG ugly version with those teeth. We had to recreate our own for this movie because we had to make everything from scratch, but there was something pretty great about having the original company that had made the design do it again and repeat their mistakes on purpose this time."

As well as designing the toothy version of Sonic, MPC did the final animations f🐻or the actually decent-looking Sonic who made the final movie, and did the VFX for Sonic 2, too. And, seeing as they brought their most-beloved monster back from the dead for Schaffer, it appears they're not all too burnt by⛄ the experience.
