Why Ugly Sonic is Finally in a Real Movie

Ugly Sonic (which is apparently his official name now) has made a surprisingly lengthy cameo in a brand new Disney movie. Beware of minor spoilers for the film, which we'll name in a couple of paragraphs, just in case we're about to accidentally ruin a surprise moment for you.

The truth is, the fact that Ugly Sonic is in the film is a good reason to watch it. What they then do with him is probably the bigger spoiler, but suffice to say, it's absolutely glorious.

I've always had a soft spot for Ugly Sonic. Truth be told, when everyone else hated him, I thought he looked just weird enough to be fun. I certainly enjoy putting him into pretty much every Sonic video we ever make. He's also incredibly fun to draw, even if my version of him doesn't look anything like his actual appearance.

(Matthew/Kotor is writing this, by the way. BretonStripes is currently trying to stop a pair of excitable children from climbing on top of each other.)

The film is Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, and while I personally haven't watched the whole thing, I've seen enough to know I love it. Seriously, this is the kind of film we could have more often if movie studios didn't insist on taking themselves so seriously the whole time.

Ugly Sonic is a highlight of what I've seen thus far. I love him. I'm glad that he can now have a legitimate spot on an official Disney Wiki, no doubt linking to an article on Modern Sonic's Wreck-it-Ralph appearance.

Lots of love,

Kotor (Matthew)
