Remember Dr Robotnik? The portly Sonic the Hedgehog villain with enormous whiskers? If you don’t there’ll be little use looking at Jim Carrey’s well-groomed portrayal of the baddie in the new live-action trailer.

However, while Carrey only appears to be wearing Eggman cosplay, the sneak peek of his eccentric performance marks his first major comedy role in a film since the Dumb and Dumber sequel.

While Carrey is enough to get some fans excited, most have spotted a major problem with the trailer: Sonic himself. Voiced by Ben Schwartz (Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Recreation), the lightning-quick blue hedgehog looks weird. Very weird.

Not our words (although we’re thinking the same), but those of users that have shared their thoughts – and a lot of confusion – on Twitter.

And many aren’t keeping their hopes up about the film...

But despite Sonic's speed, we’ve still got to wait until November for the blue blur to arrive in cinemas.
