I'm not so sure. I think that the Sonic redesign saved the movie. The original wasn't just bad, it was absolutely atrocious. That first trailer was not well received by anyone, fans or casuals. But the 2nd trailer, with the new design was the complete opposite. There was definitely a buzz with the movie that wasn't there before.Saw this last night and it's by far one of the best video game movies of all time. They could have kept the same design and the movie would still make money because the story is strong enough to support it.
