'Sonic the Hedgehog' director says he hears you about the teeth thing and he'll make changes - CNN
Now Jeff Fowler, the movie's director, is saying the team is actually going to redesign the character in light of all of the feedback.
"Thank you for the support. And the criticism," Fowler tweeted Thursday afternoon. "The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be..."
Fowler ended his tweet with the admittedly clever tag "#gottafixitfast."
CNN has reached out to Paramount to confirm the announcement.
Among the many, many teeth jokes following the trailer's release, a few artists mocked up re-designs that they thought better represented the original Sonic's cartoonish proportions and velocity-hungry eyes.
Now the question is, can Paramount Animation re-do an entire movie in a few months' time? "Sonic the Hedgehog" is slated to hit theaters November 8th, which seems like a long way away. But CGI animation is hard work. In Fowler's words, it looks like they're gonna have to fix it fast.

RIP Chewbacca, Sander's gun votes & wedding bells for a world leader: The Morning Rundown - NBCNews.com

Good morning, NBC News readers.
"Star Wars" fans are mourning the loss of Peter Mayhew, the actor best known for playing the beloved Chewbacca in the iconic film series.
Here's what else we're watching today.
'He lied to Congress'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., did not mince words Thursday about her views on Attorney General William Barr's testimony before Congress last month.
"The attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States. That's a crime," Pelosi told reporters Thursday.
She was referring to testimony Barr gave to Congress in April in which he denied knowledge of the Mueller team's concerns.
"Nobody is above the law — not the president of the United States, not the attorney general," Pelosi added.
'Run, hide, fight' mantra put into practice during shooting at UNC Charlotte
When reports of a shooter spread on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on Tuesday, the college's emergency officials blasted out a stark, but increasingly familiar message: "Run, hide, fight."
Having no place to run or hide, one student, Riley Howell, took the last option and confronted the gunman.
His actions "took the assailant off his feet," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said. "But for his work, the assailant may not have been disarmed. Unfortunately, he gave his life in the process, but his sacrifice saved lives."
While Howell's family is grappling with his death, they said they are "beyond proud" of his actions.

'So long, Chewie, may the force be with you'
Peter Mayhew, who roared inarticulately yet somehow understandably as Chewbacca for generations of "Star Wars" fans, has died at age 74.
Mayhew towered — literally at over 7 feet tall — as the 200-year-old Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk who co-piloted Han Solo's Millennium Falcon.
Tributes poured in for the man who was hailed as both a gifted actor and a gentle giant.
"We all love Chewie, and have Peter to thank for that enduring memory," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, the Disney-owned studio behind "Star Wars."

Designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization? Bad idea, experts say.
White House officials are weighing whether to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization — a move experts warn would make the United States less safe and end up victimizing American Muslims to curry favor with authoritarian allies.
"A real concern here is this designation is also a smokescreen to essentially attack the American Muslim community through guilt by association," one expert said.

Peter Mayhew’s Family Shares A Tearful Moment With Harrison Ford On Twitter - HuffPost
The family of actor Peter Mayhew sent a touching message straight out of the Star Wars saga in response to condolences from Harrison Ford.
Mayhew, who died on Tuesday at the age of 74, was Chewbacca to Ford’s Han Solo in one of the most iconic on-screen duos in the history of cinema. But the affection was real off-screen, too.
“We were partners in film and friends in life for over 30 years,” Ford said in a statement. “I loved him.”
Mayhew’s death was announced by his family via his social media accounts. They took to Twitter to send this response to Ford:
The reply is a callback to an iconic on-screen moment between Han Solo and Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia in “The Empire Strikes Back” (repeated in reverse in “Return of the Jedi”):
Fisher died in 2016.
A memorial service will be held on June 29 for family and friends, Mayhew’s family said. A public event for fans will take place in Los Angeles in December.

5 major moments you missed during Miss USA 2019 (including the monokinis) - USA TODAY
Didn't have time to tune into the 2019 Miss USA pageant? We've got you covered.
From diversity to interesting music choices, we've rounded up highlights from this year's competition, which saw Miss North Carolina Cheslie Kryst take home the crown in Reno, Nevada Thursday.
The 28-year-old lawyer from Charlotte said she was glad to be competing in Nevada because it's the first and only state in the nation with female majorities in both houses of the state legislature.
Alejandra Gonzalez of New Mexico was the first-runner up, and Oklahoma's Triana Browne the second-runner up during the competition.
Here are five major moments you missed from the show.

A diverse Top 3
One thing this year's competition wasn't lacking? Diversity.
The top three competitors were all minorities: winner Miss North Carolina (Kryst) is African-American; Miss New Mexico (Gonzalez) is a first generation Mexican-American); and Miss Oklahoma (Browne) said onstage she's a proud member of the Chickasaw Nation whose father is white and mother is African American.
Browne commented on diversity during the Q&A round of the competition. "That's what Miss USA represents, is a diverse woman," said the 26-year-old.
“Throughout my life, I was bullied for being too black for the white kids and too white for the black kids. I was even told once to go back to my country,” Browne said. “I decided to bridge the divide... I am Chickasaw, African-American and Caucasian. I am representation of our great multicultural nation.”

The top 10 was also a diverse group, with Miss Arkansas, Miss Ohio, Miss Kansas, Miss North Carolina, Miss District of Colombia, Miss New Mexico, Miss Maryland, Miss Florida, Miss Nevada and Miss Oklahoma.
One-piece swimsuits mixed in with bikinis
During this year's show, two contestants swapped out the standard bikini for a floral one-piece suit. Miss Ohio and Miss Iowa wore one-shouldered monokinis that covered up a bit more skin, but still had a cut-out at the waist.
Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters' huge engagement ring
Miss Universe 2017 Nel-Peters, who acted as a judge during this year's competition, flashed her huge engagement ring during the broadcast. The South African model and pageant titleholder is engaged to professional football player Tim Tebow.
Nick Lachey serenaded the ladies
During the evening gown portion of the pageant, the competitors weren't the only ones soaking up the spotlight.
Co-host Lachey took to the stage singing "The Way You Look Tonight" as women showed off their gorgeous gowns.
Lachey's wife, Vanessa Lachey, co-hosted.
A Lizzo song caused a Twitter eruption
Lachey's singing wasn't the only music that caused a stir during the night. During the swimsuit competition, Lizzo's "Juice," which is all about body positivity and celebrating curves, played while svelte contestants walked onstage – and viewers had mixed reactions.
"Yaaaas for ‘Juice’ by @lizzo being the song these ladies walk out to during the swimsuit portion," one person tweeted.
Other's were a little confused by the choice.
"Anybody else find it interesting that they’re choosing to play Lizzo at the Miss USA pageant??? Seems like a bunch of skinny girls walking the catwalk in bikinis might not have been what she was thinking of when she did 'Juice,' " one person tweeted.
"ILYSM @lizzo but WHO signed off on 'Juice' for the *swimsuit* competition of Miss USA, of all parts," one person tweeted.
And some wanted to know Lizzo's thoughts on the music choice.
"Is @lizzo into her song being played for the Miss USA swimsuit round?" one person tweeted.
Lizzo has yet to comment

Sophie Turner wears jumpsuit at surprise Vegas wedding to Joe Jonas - Page Six
Sophie Turner married Joe Jonas in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony on Wednesday night, and her outfit was just as unconventional.
The “Game of Thrones” actress, 23, walked down the aisle to greet Jonas, 29, and their Elvis impersonator officiant wearing a white bridal jumpsuit by Ukranian brand Bevza and a matching veil.
The one-piece silk design features a deep V-neck, wide-leg silhouette and an elastic waistband, which no doubt kept the bride comfy as she danced to country duo Dan + Shay’s live performance of their hit song “Speechless.” The jumpsuit is currently available for pre-order and costs $648.
She paired the comfy set with gold Loeffler Randall mules ($395).
Also present at A Little White Wedding Chapel were Joe’s bandmate brothers Nick and Kevin, who served as groomsmen wearing matching gray suits. The couple, who wed after the Billboard Music Awards, exchanged ring pops in place of wedding bands.
The couple got engaged in October 2017. Turner previously revealed that her “GoT” co-star Maisie Williams (who was absent from the Vegas nuptials) would be serving as one of two maids of honor, so it appears they will still have a second wedding in France as planned.
Perhaps Turner will pick a traditional gown the second time around — though it’s doesn’t seem likely for this spontaneous couple.
