Shrek 5's New Look Is So Divisive, Even Movie Sonic Has Commented On It

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

In a humorous video posted on TikTok, the Sonic Movie account offered "advice for green ogres," showcasing Movie Sonic's transformation from his initial controversial live-action design to the much more favorably received version released months later.

IGN provided the first glimpse of the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie back in 2018, which received mixed feedback, particularly regarding the character's teeth, physique, small eyes, and human-like fingers.

In response to the backlash, director Jeff Fowler opted to revise the controversial design of the iconic character, promising a more faithful representation. The redesign was much better received by fans and critics alike.

While the reactions to Shrek's new appearance are not as divisive as Sonic's initial live-action reveal, Sonic's playful response has entertained his fanbase.

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