Paramount Pictures recently released a new trailer for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie that features the redesign of Sonic. It was reported in a Tweet that has since been deleted the redesign cost Paramount $35 million to bring the total budget up to $124 million. However, this Tweet is inaccurate, according to a source who spoke with IndieWire.
The source stated the Sonic the Hedgehog redesign cost Paramount less than $5 million. The VFX for the film was far from completed by the time the first trailer dropped. The only completed VFX at the time was what was seen in the trailer.

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie will release in theatres on February 14.

The animator they brought on from Mania was worth that. He sorted Mania's design of Sonic via animations, and now he's managed to sort out the movie redesign (I know it's not all on him, but he played a significant part).
That's not bad at all compared to how much it cost to CGI Henry Cavill's mustache in Justice League lol
That's $5m well spent.
That's not too bad. Seems like a worthwhile investment since now more people will see it.
Thats cheap as usual big movie budgets go. And it's already paid off.
As thanks I'll use my cineworld card to buy 3 or 4 tickets. The fact they changed it is worthy of seeing the film alone, I would have never seen it if it stayed the old way.
A budget of $124m for this movie seems ridiculously high. They must be expecting it to perform like a mega blockbuster.
