Shrek 5's New Look Sparks Debate, Even Sonic Weighs In

Shrek 5 has unveiled its all-new cast along with a brand-new teaser trailer, sparking a range of reactions, including from Movie Sonic, who seems unsure about Shrek's updated appearance.

In a humorous video shared on TikTok, the Sonic Movie account offered "advice for green ogres," showcasing Movie Sonic's transformation from his initial, widely criticized live-action design to the much-improved version released months later.

IGN provided the first exclusive look at the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie back in 2018. The initial feedback was mixed, with fans particularly vocal about the character's teeth, physique, small eyes, and human-like fingers.

In response to the backlash, director Jeff Fowler decided to revise the controversial design, committing to a more authentic portrayal. The redesign was much better received by fans and critics alike.

While the response to Shrek's new look hasn't been as divisive as Sonic's initial live-action debut, Sonic's playful reaction has certainly entertained his followers.

"You know it's bad when you see the Sonic Movie account giving Shrek 5 advice," one commenter noted, while another exclaimed, "No way they actually posted this" accompanied by a crying emoji.
