Ugly Sonic was the creepy 2019 CGI Model of Sonic on the first trailer of Sonic the Hedgehog. This character model garnered so much hate because of his creepy uncanny valley features. The hatred of the fans forced Paramount Pictures to remodel Sonic.
Ugly Sonic only Trailer
Well he made a comeback! He use to be the source of ridicule and scrutiny but Disney purchased the rights for Ugly Sonic! He becomes a separate character of his own! Ugly Sonic is now his own entity and has developed his own fan base! From a failed CGI model of Animation, to a beloved character!
How in the heck did this happened?
We really have both Movie Sonics co-existing in 2022. ? pic.twitter.com/cB36rZGl9E

Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers, The Movie where Dale had CGI surgery, Well they added Ugly Sonic as a full pledged character.
I want you to watch the film yourself so I will only share minor detail. It is worth hours and minutes of your life before you die. From a Meme that people joked around, He becomes a character with his own hopes and dreams. Ugly Sonic embraced the meme that got him replaced. The scrutiny and ridicule, he wore it like a badge of honor. He wanted to have his own identity that he never tried to be fast like Sonic. This character wanted to have agency on his own fate and he is determined to change people’s perception of him.
He is not voiced by Ben Schwartz anymore but comedian Tim Robinson have him his own flair.

People loved him so much that they want Paramount Plus to give him his own show.

We are in a Weird timeline right now!
I can't believe we live in a world where the first Sonic Movie Design was so bad, we got the re-designed Sonic that lead to a blockbuster movie franchise going on a trilogy, and a character parody of the old look in Rescue Rangers called "Ugly Sonic"
What a timeline. pic.twitter.com/l2AVvKsFk0

Speaking of Ugly CGI, Disney Plus needs to fix She-Hulks model before the show premieres in August because she is getting a lot of criticism online. I enjoyed every single minute of this movie but Ugly Sonic stole the show!

You know what is awesome? Disney Hired the company that animated Sonic the Hedgehog movie to animate this film. That made Disney ask for Ugly Sonic and they happen to keep the CGI model inside their hardware.
What a fantastic utilization of Ugly Sonic! Glad to actually see him existing in something actually. At least the character model didn’t go completely to waste. Character designers still worked hard for that model.
I can’t communicate in words the amount I love the amazing way they took care of this. Paid attention to the fans and worked on the plan and made the first one an character.This film is so damn wonderful they added such countless references to a lot of famous and cult favorite characters. To top everything of. They gave Ugly Sonic a lot of screen time which is added incredibly to the plot.It makes sense to have him in the Movie since this year is his 30th Anniversary and Sega said they were going all out with Sonic.
Disney should buy Ugly Sonic from Sega and Paramount and make him an official Disney character. Deadpool started as a parody of Deathstroke!
His Human Teeth is what makes him look wrong.
Those teeth still gives me nightmares. I can’t believe Batman, A warner bros character made a cameo on this movie.
Spoilers …. Peter Pan is the villain of the movie, he became middle aged overweight and bitter so he do CGI surgeries on characters and force them to make bootleg films.
If there is a sequel, I want to see more Ugly Sonic. Maybe more cameos from Alvin and the Chipmunk.
At least that old character model is not put into waste. People still worked hard for it.
I did paramount pictures did a very commendable job in redesigning the ugly Sonic to a more loved and developed a stronger fan base in the present character than what he did when stared in the modelling of CGI animation.
They should have left him in a vault, he is way too ugly
I wasn’t aware of this ugly sonic until I watched Chip n’ Dale. Truth been told he is really ugly…
Lol @ “uncanny valley features” ? but where’s the lie? Well no hating anyway because look, man has fan base, ugliness and all. Well done Disney on purchasing the rights to Ugly Sonic the beloved.
