Well, this is not entirely animated, but here is our first official look at the Sonic the Hedgehog movie:
We finally get to see Sonic for what he’s really going to look like and Jim Carrey as Robotnik.
People everywhere seem to be facepalming like crazy over this trailer, but to me, it doesn’t look much different from Detective Pikachu, which everyone everywhere are super hyped about! So let me ask this: What makes Detective Pikachu okay, but not this? I’m guessing it’s just the whole “Sonic has green eyes” crap all over again.

I have seen the Trailer, and I can answer what you ask about Detective Pikachu.
I think others are Okay with the Detective Pikachu one is cause, when translated in to "Live Action", they do still look Close to how they do in the Game, while still looking like actual Animals, you may find. In the case of Sonic, however...Yeah...The design of "Live Action" Sonic does not translate well, in the Sonic Film.
I shall post, at least, it looks like Jim Carey is having an amusing time, playing Robotnik, and I see that as the Film goes on, he shall begin to look more and more like his Normal Self. I also do feel that Ben Schwartz, who also voices Dewey in Duck Tales, is a good choice for Sonic!
I shall post, at best, the Sonic Film shall probably be Harmless, but like I post, the design of "Live Action" Sonic does not translate as well as the Detective Pikachu Pokemon ones do.
I do consider ironic, that one can claim that the top Film that Sonic has been in is one where he is a Guest Star! You can tell which Film, I mean, Pups?

Even though I thought Jim Carrey did well in the Trailer, I can't help but shake the feeling that something isn't quite right, unless this was suppose to be an Origin Story and Robotnik is suppose to lose hair and gain some weight later if there's going to be a sequel, but in my honest opinion, I feel this would've been better with just an Animated Movie though.

I think it is suppose to be an Origin Story, Shawn.
I think, from what I have seen, Robotnik is suppose to look more and more like how he does in the Game, as the Film goes on. You see how he looks, in the Stinger of the Trailer, Shawn?

I did go and see the trailer for myself and well...
I am going to say it's probably won't be a god-awful movie it'll be worth seeing for Jim Carrey at the bare minimum. Not trying to jump to conclusions but Pokémon: Detective Pikachu felt like it's supposed to be a mindful adaptation while trying to have fun with the more ridiculous side of it, this one feels like it's supposed to be perfectly straight. For one thing Sonic is supposed to be an alien? Didn't know that. Wouldn't that be better suited to a movie about ToeJam and Earl?
Like watchmojo.com once said, this probably could have worked if they pulled some cues from Sonic SatAM. There's something about Sonic that makes him belong in animation, just like Mario. I can't believe I'm using this as an example, but... people complained about Sonic '06 where Sonic and his friends didn't seem to fit in with the more realistic looking characters.
I was reading that people found the music unfitting, but after some thought... well I'll say this: where Pokémon: Detective Pikachu used classic songs that seem to hold up and fit the tone, the fact they are using "Gangsta's Paradise" in a movie that feels like it was in production since the Sega Saturn was a brand new console (1996) makes it seem like this is stuck in the video game movie ghetto.
I'll still hope for the best.

On the case of how Humans look, from Trey's post; I admit, I feel that if there is a Sonic Game that was able to make it so the Humans looked like a part of Sonic's World was Sonic Unleashed, where the Humans had a more Disney & Pixar looking Style to them, which works with the Sonic case.
Like Shawn posts; The Film probably would have worked more as an "Animated" Film.
Though, base on Sonic's line in the Film of; "Saving Your Planet", does that imply Sonic comes from another World, in the Film, too?

That's what everyone is implying but people think that he's an Alien because of the line.

Woah, it seems that the Reaction for how Sonic looks in the Film is so strong, the Director has made a tweet, stating that they shall be changing the Film Design For Sonic!
Here is hoping they have the design look more like Sonic, Eh!?

I feel bad for the CGI special effects guys on this. They're going to have to do a ton of overtime on this and it's not all their fault.
I'm digging the Sheriff's Ford Crown Vic though.

Isn't that also going to add onto it's budget? I remember when the animators at DreamWorks were making the first Shrek that when Mike Myers wanted Shrek to be his own character in a last minute decision he thought Shrek should have a Scottish accent that was at least an additional $4,000,000 down the drain.

I can definately understand those concerns and, from what I hear, they have not changed the air date of this Film, to give the Animation Team more time to work on Sonic, either. Especially, when there were concerns raised about Sonic's "Live Action" look, from as early as the first Poster! Here is hoping, some thing can be done to make it better on the Animation Team.
Random Fact, about this Film, too; One of the Generals, we see in the meeting, is actually the Voice of Grounder some Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog, as well as Robotnik in Sonic Underground.
You think we shall get more Cameos, from Sonic Voices, too?

Personally, I don’t have a problem with how Sonic looked. Sure, it’s not perfect, but I’m at least grateful they’re actually making this movie at all. From what I see, the fanboys are just giving the whole, “Sonic has green eyes” crap all over again. That’s the fan base for ya.

Also, I've heard that Jaleel White who voiced Sonic in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Satam and Sonic Underground was or is suppose to appear in the film, strangely, I haven't heard anymore about it.

That'd be a nice tribute. Little synergy never hurts. I also remember when the 2007 Transformers was in production there was backlash about Megatron's original facial design and it was altered for the final movie.
