It's from hbomberguy's serious lore analysis of Sonic the Hedgehog. The voiceover for the scene in question:
"Sonic's devil-may-care attitude is a way of dealing with the utmost depression he feels fighting a near-impossible battle as he copes with the loss of his race."
So he's probably staring at his hands in anguish, as you do.

This movie has a 90 million budget, yet they couldn't be arsed to figure out what they should be spending that budget on?
Its the uncanny valley effect. He was close enough to human to be creepy before - the only way out of uncanny valley would be either to make him more human - and thus ruin the point of having him be a hedgehog - or less human, and thus more cartoony. They (obviously) went with the latter.Doesn't have that weird proportionals anymore and is more like his video-gamey self.

he looks like some sort of weird Sonic chibi or bobblehead.He doesn't even look like his old game self, the proportions are still fucked. Go look at the sprites or hell even the art for the old games. Sonic's limbs were still long in the 2D era, his body was just a lot rounder. When they moved into 3D they made him bigger overall, taller and slimmer, but the same general shape was still in place. The image that Sonic Team was going for was "sprinter", reflected in the running and posture changes.
This just completely misses the mark. He's short and thick all around, making it look like they just compressed him because they went over the old art and thought "oh we just need to make him shorter, that'll make the fans happy". It doesn't look better at all. And I'm not confident in motion saving this.
