It's pretty impressive that they actually listened to the reactions of fans and made the changes. Feels much more like Sonic now.

New trailer:

Part of me wonders if they had planned it all along...and if maybe their Sonic always looked like this...and the crappy render of Sonic was only made for the first trailer to get people talking lol

Although there is the story of Tyson Hesse helping with the changes.

A mega corporation willing to make their future consumers happy by listening to them.

Yeah quite remarkable.

Sonic's eyes still aren't joined like the original, which Yuji Naka pointed out:

The design is much more Sonic-like now that he’s wearing gloves. However, his eyes still aren’t joined together, as expected. I can’t help but feel weird about that one point. But I’m looking forward to the movie’s release.
But all the changes from the eyes, teeth, nose, hands, height and body, etc. certainly make it feel much more like Sonic. That first version was just way too off.

Let's be honest. That first version was a nightmare inducing abomination. It felt like Sonic was 'replaced' by a low-skilled Skin-walker.

Even the creator of Sonic hated the first design. I think this is probably the first case of a major studio doing an extensive rework to a movie based on fan backlash and reaction to the trailer. The movie will probably never be my cup of tea but for the intended audience, I think the new trailer hits all the right spots.
