The best way to sell something is by making it cute. Sega and Paramount seem to know this because it turns out the upcoming movie Sonic the Hedgehog β due out on Valentine's Day next year β will feature a much younger blue blur.
In a Japanese promotional trailer for his silver screen debut (above), you can see baby Sonic holding a sunflower for a few seconds. This same clip seems to include music from Sonic Mania.
We've also got a look at a new poster for the movie (via Famitsu), which gives us a better look at Sonic in his younger years:
Are you excited for the Sonic movie? What do you think of baby Sonic? Comment down below.

For the love of god donβt put Baby Sonic and Baby Yoda together playing with baby bunnies/puppies/cats..... the world would implode from too much squee....
I wonder if this means that there was a baby sonic for the first version as well. lol I would have paid money to see the internet react to that.
Classic Sonic: Am I a joke to you?
@Ryu_Niiyama π the world may never know! Personally, I like baby Yoda more.
LOL
Is the Baby Sonic will be his childhood version during the storyline ?
But can Baby Sonic force choke someone? NO! Lol
....Before we know it we're going to have Baby Pink Gold Amy or something. lol
Cute.
But baby yoda>baby sonic
Nope, baby Yoda is still better.
This looks like some kind of baby spin-off, like Baby Looney Toons or Muppet Babies.
Baby Mario & Baby Sonic at the Junior Olympic Games... It could happen... If so, you heard here first.
Nothing can be more adorable than Baby Yoda.
Nah, Babu Frik, the tiny droidsmith from The Rise of Skywalker has them both beat in cutenesses. Who couldnβt love a whiskered little face like that? :3
I wonder what baby sonic looked like with the original design
Baby Sonic should had been the main character as he's more akin to the original short and chubby Sonic of the Sega Genesis / Master System era.
It's adorable. Not Baby Yoda adorable. But adorable nonetheless
@EvilRegal Babu Frik is the reason I choose to live.
Cuteness overload
I'm not the kind of person that cares at all about cute characters. And i've never been one to buy merch of any kind. But lol... Even I'm hopeless against that damn Baby Yoda, enough so that the thought of buying one for my desk keeps flashing into my head. Yeesh.. I'm making myself cringe with this behaviour. Curse you Disney!
This sonic thing though? Naah.
Muppet babies theme is now coursing through my brain
Now we need a baby Mario!
Oh wait...
Now we need a Baby Sonic stuffed animal, a Baby Sonic game, and a Baby Sonic bobble head!
It looks creepy, honestly.
@Joeynator3000 Don't! Give! Them! Ideas! We already have baby doctor plumbers!!!
@PBandSmelly Everyone disliked that
Lol, nah, I canβt tell if itβs just the CGI versus practical effects, but Baby Yoda is miles cuter.
I want to see this. I hate sonic games. Why do I want to see this?
He is adorbs but I think baby yoda wins out by the slightest bit.
Awww. Look at this dude.

This portends ominously.

Okay, that's f**king cute as a Sonic fan myself I have to say enough with baby Yoda and bring in the baby hedgehog, cos hedgehogs are more adorable than whatever baby Yoda supposed to be. As a fan of both the Sonic the Hedgehog and Star Wars franchises, I think I enjoy Sonic more cos defeating a mad scientist sounds a whole lot funner than blasting your way through waves of stormtroopers and plus the Sonic franchise has perfected something that the Star Wars franchise didn't and that's perfect killing robots, better than the so called Trade Federation's battle droids or assassin droids in that matter.
not like this is the first time baby sonic's been seen.
Awww! Sonic needs smooches!
What I really want to see is what baby CGI Sonic would have looked like before the backlash and subsequent redesign.
Muahahahaha...
Muppet Babies > Baby Mario > Baby Yoda > Baby Sonic > Baby Groot > Boss Baby
Baby Yoda is so much cuter, at least for me.
There hasn't been anything as cute as baby yoda since Gizmo! The 80's kids know what I'm talking about.
"News"? More like opinion. IMO they are both horrible and easily beaten by real puppies and kittens.
Meh. Give me Baby Yoda.
sorry but no, its hideous compared to baby Yoda
Yuck no, no it's really not. Not sorry.
@JR150 Classic Sonic is meant to be 16 going from Sonic Jam's character bio in 1997 not really toddler despite SEGA making him appear more cute/smaller and using that light blue from the early Sonic 1 promo art
Saying Classic is younger Modern has never worked SEGA's excuse not to use the classic design in the Sonic 4 games
at least Forces kinda fixed that going with the different dimensions
I mean you say Spiderman from the 1960's is baby Spiderman compared to whatever modern Spiderman we got now
I mean
Not even close...
I hope when this movie hits Blu-ray, they include the original rabid man-hog edit as a bonus feature.
"Move Aside Baby Yoda, Baby Sonic Is Much More Adorable"
No
@ClassSonicSatAm I don't feel Forces or generations fixed it with classic sonic coming from a different dimension.
To me its all the same timeline, and the design change is just based on the type of Sonic game (classic or modern) with the classic style mostly representing pre-Sonic Adventure, 2d Sonic games.
Whats unfortunate is that after Sonic 06 and generations they didn't took the story that serious anymore and took a more simple approach.
Sonic 06 wasn't bad because of the story (besides the 'kiss') but more because of the gameplay and Sonic games already being a bit controversial when it came to quality. There is so much to explore, mystery behind the Chaos Emeralds, the Master Emeralds and Knuckles backstory besides Chaos, this was kinda explored in the RPG Sonic Chronicles, . Emerl and his Gizoid background, also last explored in Sonic Chronicles.
So much potential but Sega and other developers working on the franchise just don't seem to be able to blend these story elements with good gameplay.
Awww. Lookit that sweet face. :3
Kid musta been a pain to babysit. Lol
@JR150 Classic Sonic is cool, not cute.
@Sanangelo89 Can't be the same timeline, due to so many changes between eras of games as I said in 1997 Sonic was 16 but then gets reaged to 15 for Adventure in 1998... also Amy got age boost too
Sonic Adventure seem like a soft reboot which made sense SEGA were rebooting their image after failing with the 32bit era Saturn/32x everything was different here despite them acting yeah this is continuing from Sonic 3&K since the game is basically the 3D version of that and using alot the unused ideas 3&K didn't, along with a proper RPG style story doesn't help SA1 started off as a Classic Sonic game too which is where SA2 seems more like the first proper game in this reboot
Then of course Sonic Team barely try and make the Sonic games cannon now, leading to alot of odd moments Forces is full of them...Sonic doesn't remember Copies of Shadow/Metal Tails Can't fight Chaos not even at Zero form/also is useless without a computer, the humans are all gone and now it's more like Mobius? it's a big mess
That's very cute.
