Although some old animations were able to be salvaged and reused, many had to be animated from scratch. A new rig also had to be created based on the new design and then everything would have to be reanimated using that rig. They compared the design shown in the initial trailer with the " Modern Sonic" design and tried to find a compromise between the two. When re-designing Sonic, the team started with Sonic's face. The production crew used Ted, the living teddy bear from the Ted films made by Universal Pictures, as an influence on making a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog, and studied different variations of the character to develop the character's final design.
