As you can see, some love both versions, some have chosen a side and some hate both. The internet battle rages on over which meme is cuter. Either way, Sonic the Hedgehog now has some serious hype.
We might have a different feeling on Dec. 28 as the final episode of Disney‘s The Mandalorian airs tonight, Dec. 27. Given Disney CEO Bob Iger’s comments about his increased security, we can only imagine Baby Yoda’s name is significant. That might play a role in this war as we don’t see people voting for Baby Yoda’s cuteness if its real name is Blarf or something.
Tell us what you think of Baby Sonic and the new Sonic the Hedgehog trailer in the comments below.
