Paramount Pictures is pushing its “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie back three months, from Nov. 8 to Valentine’s Day.
The delay follows fan criticism over the appearance and design of the titular blue hedgehog — particularly his teeth and lean legs.
Director Jeff Fowler tweeted that it was “taking a little more time to make Sonic just right.”

Earlier this month, Fowler took to Twitter to address the backlash following the trailer release. “The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes,” he tweeted. “It’s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the Best he can be… #sonicmovie #gottafixfast.”
Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you aren't happy with the design & you want changes.
